Hi Blog world,

As I sit here looking at my monthly planner I came to realize what a good month it’s been.  This month was exciting because of my birthday. Many of my family and friends made my birthday extra special. The weekend before my birthday my best friend came over. We played cards, went for a walk, and read a book for our book club. We even went to one of my favorite restaurants. Another reason my birthday was special was because my grandpa and I went out to eat at a quiet restaurant; and I was able to share what I had on my mind. These memories are ones that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

As part of my internship experience I was able to attend impact 100. This was my first time out in the field and I learned a lot. Click here to read about my first time out in the field

Lastly, during the last week of March, I took a pre-employment class. This class taught me a lot of skills, such as how to update my resume. I think that this class was helpful when it comes to getting my dream job. It’s going to take a lot of hard work to get to my dream, however one day I’ll get to my dream of being a famous writer.

I can’t wait to see what April brings.

Hi Blog world,

Happy National Puppy Day everyone!

This month has been full of emotions the weekend of March 11, was the 2nd anniversary of Noodles passing. Now let me introduce you to Duke-Noodles’ successor.  Duke is a black and White, 48-pound Pit Bull Terrier.  Grandpa found Duke dodging cars that were in our street. Duke ran up into our garage and grandpa let him into our house. I have to admit that I was a little scared of him at first because I’ve only seen Pit Bull Terriers on TV, and I’ve heard different rumors about the breed.

We kept him until I found the dog’s owner information on a pet Facebook page. Grandpa reached out to the owner, and because the owner was out-of-state for the holidays, grandpa said he would keep the dog until the owner returned.  Once the owner returned from his trip, grandpa and his owner talked and the owner told grandpa that he could not take the dog back because of some personal reasons. Grandpa told him he would keep Duke until we could find him another home.

That weekend the owner came by with Duke’s supplies and the following week grandpa took Duke to the vet so he could get caught up on his medicine and shots. Duke was not a happy camper that day.

Duke, quickly won our hearts, and I can’t help but love how many silly things he does. He loves to play tug, fetch and go for walks.

I’ve been praying for Noodles successor for a long time, I’ve been praying for another Boston Terrier, Labrador Retriever or a Golden Retriever. However, God had other plans, and I can’t thank him enough for this blessing that he has given me.

Hi Blog world,

I was watching YouTube the other day, and someone asked Youtuber, Cherry Wallis, how her start to the year was going… that question stuck in the back of my  mind, and I’ve decided to answer that question. I may even do it on a monthly basis. Let me know if you would like to read more posts like this one; Tell me in the comments below.

I thought that this year would be like the past three years-job searching with hardly any results. However, I’m trying to keep a positive outlook, and so far it’s working. On Friday, I have a mock interview; this will give me more  practice for when  a real interview comes along.

Then next week, I have a meeting with a new job coach. Before you guys start asking, “what about your internship?”  Don’t worry, I’ll still be interning for She’s Social, and if an offer is made I still have the opportunity to accept it. Until something happens with my career it’s all in God’s hands.

Blog soon,

Amanda Gene
