JoJo's Blog- Peek into my Life

Who Had the Best Week Ever?

Your one and only me…I had two great interviews…Soon as they get the okay from national I will have a fall internship with the Catholic Commission for the 07-08 school year…10 bucks an hr. 15 hrs a week and a paid trip to Washington D.C. not too shabby…

I had an interview for a 3-week summer job that has a nice stipend to work as a Teaching Asst. at Case for a summer high school program…Problem is I’m not qualified really in the academic arena since the class I would be helping teach I took in high school so I’m no expert and these are advanced students that are doing 10 months worth of work in 3 weeks…I could self-teach myself prior to the program but they haven’t hired the teachers yet and they are not required to turn in the syllabi until the last minute so it is not really an option anyways I’m glad that she’s actually considering trying to hire me anyways b/c she thinks I’ll be great with the kids…

This Friday I was the Mistress of Ceremonies for Unity Banquet and it was an honor to be chosen to do that…I was able to take a picture with Angela Davis since she was the keynote speaker…

This week I checked my mail as a fluke since I really didn’t expect to receive anything worthwhile but to my surprise there was an envelope from the Hispanic Scholarship Fund…I figured it was going to be a letter telling me to apply for something but it turned out to be a check for $2,500. I felt like I won the lotto b/c I completely forgot that I had applied/ figured I didn’t get it. I received it my freshmen year but I don’t think I did last year. I was able to pay off my balance to Case so they can’t keep my transcript after I graduate. I also bought a digital camera and ordered my laptop for law school. The rest will go towards my car. Hopefully it will be practically paid off.

Yesturday I also found out I was chosen for a paid trip to Washington DC for this Latino student discussion thing.

Thursday it was confirmed that my favorite band with my future husband, Travis McCoy will be performing at my school the day after my birthday.

My mom quit her job and got a new one with basically a promotion and a raise.

I just came back from in my opinion the best party I’ve ever been to at Case. Well it wasn’t the best but I had more fun there than ever cuz I danced with so many people. I sent my deposit to Cleveland- Marshall College of Law so my decision has finally been made. Things are starting to fall into place.

I have an interview scheduled for the job I really want to have next year that wiould provide me with free room and board and a nice stipend.

All I can say is I have been blessed and I want to thank God for all the good things that have been happening. I can’t remember another time in which so much good happened at once.
