Busy week!

This week has been a whirlwind of researching schools, exploring programs, job hunting, and setting up my room at the new place. The room setup has involved scraping the floor with my dad to prepare for hardwood floors, and then I'll be painting. It’s a process, but I’m making steady progress.

On the school front, I’ve found a CNA program that I’ll be starting in September. Once I complete that, I’ll begin the prerequisites for the Radiology Technology course I’ve been wanting to pursue. I’m hopeful I’ll be able to secure a job at a hospital while working on those prerequisites. After that, I’ll apply for the Radiology program, where they only accept eighty students each year. It’s a lot to look forward to, and I’m really excited that everything seems to be falling into place.

Soon, I’ll be doing what I’ve wanted for years—having my degree, my career, and all my life goals aligned. It feels so good to be able to say that. I truly believe everything is falling into place, and it’s a huge relief. I’m incredibly grateful to my parents for helping me escape Alabama and the difficult situation I was in.

Tomorrow is my first day at my new job, which means I’ll be earning an income again and can start paying off some bills since I won’t have to pay rent or utilities for a few months. I plan to get rid of some unnecessary bills, like the TV payment, Target bill, and gym membership. Once those are cleared, I’ll focus on paying off my car. That sounds pretty great too!
