Update from Boston

Hi PA!

It's been a little while since I've been able to check in -- I've had a very hectic couple of weeks and I wanted to update you all on some good news!

After over 5 months of persevering, I finally got a job that I had interviewed for and wanted (after meeting with a recruiter from one of the career fairs I went to)  I'm going to be working at an agency that works to empower individuals with developmental disabilities, etc.  I'm not exactly clear on what my role will be, but I have to go through a bunch of training sessions so I imagine that I will know some more after that.  I also just got word that I got accepted into a social work grad school program for the fall!!  I am thrilled to be able to share this news with all of you and I think things are beginning to look up for me on the school and job fronts.

I hope you all are doing well and I'm sorry I've missed so many posts from the past couple of weeks.  I hope that those who are struggling have found help and support and are working to get back on track and I hope those celebrating milestones have been able to truly enjoy their happiness :) 

Miss you all and thinking of you all from Boston,
Lisa :)

Wonderful News!!  I'm so happy for you. It sounds like you are going to be a busy girl.  Getting a job now is no easy feat so I feel very proud of you.

Can't wait to see you.

Thank you so much Arlene!  I could really feel your happiness for me even through the computer :)  Yes, I think I am going to be a very busy girl (I start training today actually!) but I'd sure rather be busy having a job and school than busy searching for a job and school ;)  Yes, I agree -- getting a job now is no easy feat, so thank you very much for being so proud of me.  

Can't wait to see you either!!!

Lisa :)
