My Possible Futures.

Last week, I was approached by one of my classmates about helping them. I thought it was really cool because I've never been approached about that. Debra came to me after seeing some of my posts in a Facebook group from one of our past classes. The group is called DNW Super Club, and people post relatable and inspirational posts. We started talking and Skyped last week and really hit it off. We really hit it off and been talking since. When she talked to me about it it made my day. ^-^ Debra and I are in the same class, so it's cool we can help each other. I'm glad we can help each other and share our experiences. Debra's the best at getting all that she can out of school and sharing it with others. I'm glad to have met her. :)
Today in therapy, I was talking a bit about what I learned about women in other countries and cultures. I brought up that women in other cultures have it a shit ton harder than American women. But no matter who you are someone always has it harder, and I'm not saying or trying to demean anyone's hardships. I know how crappy I felt when people acted like my hardships didn't matter. I'm saying if you're fighting for something that I would like people to do your research. If you're willing to do the work and do your research I'm rooting for you all the way, and from what I can tell not all American women do the research they need to do for the fight for women's rights whereas other people in other cultures seem to have all the facts when writing about something. Mainly what I'm talking about when I say this is the pay gap. I would like to know how everyone came to that conclusion before anyone rips my head off.
These are my thoughts about the possible jobs for me so far.

Possible Jobs:

  1. Journalist: My therapist said that I had a real passion for what I was talking about. I sometimes see opportunities for magazines from Freedom for Writers. It may be a competitive field, but I might really like it, I used to write articles when I was in high school and even though they weren't published the principal of the school saw them. He didn't like the articles but he was proud of my initiative. 
  2. Teacher: I'm not entirely sure about this one because I don't know about how school curriculum would go with or against my teaching methods and principles. 
  3. Tutor: I have liked tutoring in the past and I am getting back into tutoring now. It's cool because I used to work with elementary school kids, and now I'm working with a college student. Tomorrow is my first real session because last time we got to know each other. 
  4. Substitute teacher: Richard brought this up. I'm not sure, but it could be very cool. 
I'm still finishing my creative writing program. I will still do my best to keep my eyes and ears open to job opportunities in the meantime. ^-^ Maybe being a novelist can always be a hobby. :D

Treasured Memories

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon...

Treasured Memories Part II

Image
A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

The Perfect Book for a Traveler of the Mind or Vacationer

  I recently finished reading ‘Where to Go When’ by DK Eyewitness, and the immediate things that make the book fabulous are it breaks up locations by what month is the best time to visit them, they tell when else to go, and all about planning your trip. Each ‘chapter’ is month by month. The other months each location may mention may mention off-seasons, concerts, holidays, ect. In the planning your trip section they mention getting there, getting around, the weather in that month, and the average weather in Fahrenheit and Celsius. For any and all travelers that is extremely important, the Fahrenheit and Celsius because you don’t want to have to take your phone out to translate that on your own all the time.  While reading the book a few places stood out to me as research places for my work like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, and Galway, Ireland. Rio de Janeiro was in February, Kyoto was in April, Galway was in September, and Tokyo was in November. As I was alw...
