Big Week!

I've been looking forward to this week and for good reason. I started the SOSMentor internship yesterday, it was so great having something that makes sense in my life. Working at my current job only makes sense because it's challenging and constantly evolving but it ends there. I need to make a more obvious and meaningful change in people's lives. As the intern for SOSMentor I act as an assistant to the teacher leading the workshops on healthy eating as well as the one in charge of making sure the program continues getting its funding. I get to make videos, take pictures, collect information, etc, etc. I'll share more as it becomes more involved.

W2 forms came in the mail a couple months ago, it was honestly intimidating. I started asking friends where they file their taxes, how they file their taxes, lots of interrogating. Since of course nothing in my life can be plain and simple I realized I'd have to find someone to do my taxes for me, turbotax was not going to work for me. Finally today I got to searching, and I got an estimate from H&R Block and then another one. The second one won. So today I filed my taxes!!! I'm a real working girl now! I'm very hopeful as I'll be closer to meeting monetary goals for getting certified to teach abroad with the tax return.

I've started writing my Personal Statement for the scholarship I'll be applying for. I've had a couple times where I've changed my mind about getting certified knowing that having this internship I'll have great prospective for a more fitting job, but travelling is a must. I need to reset my mind, my person so I can make better decisions in life. My momentary change of heart about the program was set off by a girl from work leaving to Japan to teach English. A coworker made a hateful comment about how everyone goes abroad to teach English. Writing about this now makes me think that she was jealous, who knows, it really doesn't matter. Everyone has their reasons for choosing their paths in life and it doesn't make it wrong. I'm excited!

I feel that ultimately regardless of what field I end up focusing on, there will be teaching involved. Active teaching. I'm excited.


MUCH LOVE!!
