Good Afternoon All!!
Sorry for the lapse in our correspondence. I have been very
busy and focused on a few non-blog related things. Well, kind non-blog related.
Like most Americans, I have been trying to refocus and catch up my household
finances. I am not at all trying to be rich. I would only like to live
comfortable and not always behind the proverbial eight ball.
For those of you who know me and have been on my blogs
before, you know I tend to have conservative ideologies. Honestly, I do not see
them as such. I only see my desire to be the provider for my family and work as
hard as needed to make sure they are well taken care of. Recently, I applied
for a position for supplementary income. Unfortunately, I was still healing
from my Rotator Cuff Surgery and not allowed to begin the job. The position was
not a cure all, but it would have allowed me to regain control of our household
finances and stand on solid ground.
Struggle is not a choice. People do not sit around and plan
to struggle. Struggle happens and people fight through it and try to overcome
the obstacles, which struggle creates. We as a community and nation have
forgotten the ability to fight through the struggle. I hear rants and screams
about jobs and needing jobs. I agree there is a desperate need for higher
paying jobs, but I also believe we need to begin filling the open jobs we have,
which people tend to think are beneath them.
Programs that work with youth and focus on youth
development need to be more accountable for the youth and their social and
economic preparations. Placing the youth in a job which pays minimum wage yet,
has growth potential is “success”. We, adults, have been brainwashed and in
turn began brainwashing youth around us to believe they can get something for
nothing. Working hard is not a problem, it is a privilege. How many of us know
people who are not working right now? These are employable people, but due to
the economy are not trusting to apply for jobs which would pay less than they
were getting paid before they became unemployed.
If anyone knows of any company hiring for anything let me
know, =)!
