The Back Up Plan: Penn Foster

In my earlier post I mentioned Jake and I having a back up plan. Originally I was applying for a federal job that would have helped Jake and I while he went through school. Well after getting several contingent offers they denied me because I'm epileptic. I'm using this as a blessing in disguise and am following another career path. Don't get me wrong I love being a Certified Personal Trainer but I also need something to help me and Jake as well.

Jake has been suggesting for a while for me to become a Veterinary Technician or a Veterinary Assistant. After losing our fur baby last fall I would love to work in the veterinary field and help other fur babies and their families. I am starting school at Penn Foster at the beginning of next month (June) to become a Veterinary Assistant. Even before I graduate the program I can still work as a Veterinary Assistant. At most positions I will still be able to provide great health care not only for me and Jake but also for Lando. Then after I finish the Veterinary Assistant program I can start the Veterinary Technician program.

While working as a Vet Assistant I can go to school at Penn Foster and Jake will still be able to go to school. I feel really good about this and think it can really go somewhere.

LASIK: Three Week Review

So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...

My First Day at GNC

Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!
