Ahh... what a wonderful day! First, I'd like to say that God is good and whoever says that He is not good is definitely lost. Secondly, I want to let you all know that I finally have a J-O-B! Whew! It is truly about time because I have been looking for a job for a minute now. I am supposed to be getting a call from another place of business but they have not called me back just yet.

As much as I want another job so I can pay my bills among other things, the only thing I can do now is pray. That's it. I can't sit and whine about something that I do not have because I look at it like this. There are a lot of people who are in worse situations than I am. Hence, I give God the glory everyday because without Him, nothing and I do mean "NOTHING" is possible. I am staying w/ my best friend and roommate, Ms. C. She's very sweet and hard-working. I think she and I are similar in a lot of ways because we are both hard-working, decent, kind young ladies who believe that anything worth having is worth working hard for. However, we are different in certain ways, as well.

For instance, she is more intense than I am. For example, she worries about things that is not in her control and sometimes I tell her that she cannot worry about things that are out of her reach, but that is how she is at times. Me, personally, I worry about certain things, too, but I also realize that only God can take care of my dilemmas, not me. Besides, the way I look at it, why lose your hair and health over something that is not meant to be in the first place?

Other than that, everything is great. I started my job as a poetry teacher today. I love my class. They are truly sweet, hyper little bugaloos! LOL! My day was truly good. I did not get a chance to teach the class poetry, but the class did get a chance to play games like double dutch and kick ball and other games that kept them occupied for the day. One of the students asked me if I could do her nails. I said yes so not only did I polish her nails, but I polished a few other girls' nails, as well. The boys just sat their tables giving the girls funny looks and stuff. I just laughed just because.

Tomorrow, I will teach the class poetry, such as, the meaning of poetry, metaphors, assonance, and other things that will keep their minds occupied, so wish me luck on this. LOL! Well, I have to go. Be good and stayed blessed. -Dana
