My goals in the next few years may change from tonight. Right now, I am focused on getting my GED. I have tyred once before and never followed through with it. Another goal I have to achieve is found a criminology program to enroll in. That is also a long term goal for me. I know that once this GED program is out the way more doors will open up for me. Now that the Internet is available there is a lot of options for grants, scholarships, and some free pre-collage classes and they are offered to people with GEDs.

I will be 30 years old, this year and time doesn't wait. I know when I was younger my mom always told me to make a goal and set a time to accomplish it. It never seamed to work. Now that I'm older I think that setting a goal wouldn't be hard to achieve, because I have my mind set on it.

The company I work for as long as I'm in school they will help me pay for any programs I'm in as long as I complete them. I know that if I apply myself everything will be good, because I don't want to work for them for the rest of my life, Iam gonna what they teach me and learn from them and open my own business. That's not part of my goals, but something I thought about for a long time.

I know in the long run all the work and effort I put into my goals will payoff and make me very successful

One characteristic that I know about me that will draw a person to me is my personality. I know that what I say to people will make them smile and make them understand where I'm coming from. I'm never out to hurt you , just out to help a little. I love to talk about whats going on right at that time. You might say I'm nosey, but it's who I am.
At my age I learned a lot in life. Everyone I come in contact with love to be in my company. I work for a major store in Richmond, and i see a lot of different people with different personalities, but my life training has taught me how to deal with them(separate the weak from the obsolete). Not everyone is friendly, but those people you know how to deal with them.
Mabey if I come i contact with you you will like me or leave me alone

WHAT HAPPENED?

Many things has happened in my lifetime, but only one thing changed my life, the lost of a close friend, My father.
My father or should I say "pop" was my best friend from far back as I can remember. As a little girl I remember him picking me up from my grandmothers house after he got off work, and taking me out to eat or buying me some shoes or just hanging out with him, it was like the world to me. As I got older things started to change, and there was a lot of problems in my family.
When I was 16 years old me and my mother moved to Virginia to make a change and get to know each other, because it was not a good relationship with me and her. Moving to Virginia was not a good thing for me. First things I missed my "pop", and i wanted to be with him to make sure he was good. Things didn't go that way. I dropped out of school and started hanging with the hype crowd.
I always knew no matter what the situation was where my pop was at (REHAB;ON THE STREETS;OR ON A MISSION).
In 2003 he moved out of Philly with his life on the line. Now the rolls must change. I was the parent and he was the child. He found him an apartment in West Virginia, so he lived there for 3 years, until the alcohol mad him sick. Now hes back living in Virginia with me, because taking the trips back and forth was to much. For the first 3 months everything was good and we were back as a family after 10 years, yeah it was good. Then he moved and got his own place now back to the problems. The alcohol was always an issues with my father ever since he left the Vietnam War, as with a lot of the vets.
So as time went on he got really sick. On July 22,2007 he passed on to lead another life.
Since the lost I have gained a lot of strengh to make myself a better person. Not to live in the same life-steps that my father took and also learn to build a better life with my step-sister.
He always wanted me to get my GED so here Iam now trying to make my way to the top!
