To The People Who Gave Me My First Job
paralawg.com

To my first job, Thank You. Thank you for teaching me so many life lessons that i had no idea i would need in life. I started working at the age of sixteen, and I loved it. I was basically a secretary, i answered the phones, filed, typed anything and everything, and I went to banks on a daily basis. Everyone knew who I was when I walked in to drop off a deposit or pick up a package.

Having money and no bills to pay was pretty awesome so i would always go to the mall and buy new outfits for not only me but my sisters. I could go on trips with my friends and not have to ask my parents for money. I had a sense of independents when I started working. I worked for an attorneys office, and I still work for them when I am home from school. (Shout out to my mom for setting me up with the best place to have a first job)

Most people at that age are normally working at fast food restaurants, cutting grass, baby sitting, the typical first jobs. I got to work for attorneys who works with real- estate. Through the years i have learned how to do basic things like answering phones and taking messages. I learned how to stay organized, and the importance of staying organized. I now understand what all it takes to buy a house and how to take out a loan. I have stayed in this office for a long time now and I still learn things every day.

I have also gained some pretty awesome friends over the years, and although I only work with two other people in the office, I have still made friends outside of the office. The people i work with always make me laugh and keep a very positive environment. They have seen me at my lowest and highest moments in life and they have always been there to support me in whatever i do. So thank you to the attorneys that let me be a part of their office and for allowing me to be my crazy self. Even when you found out that i wasn't going to school in pursuit of a law career.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
