TODAY: A working student-working on making it.

---

I am the kind of student that you just don't know if she will make it.

I start out with great intentions, I love learning, but something will happen and I freak out. I am still learning how to ask for help, and communicate when I am having problems. I have this personality of it is all or nothing. I treasure that concept of a "happy medium." Needless to say, I have not found my treasure.

My Successes

Sholarship for Basketball to go to college

• I did well in school and loved sports. Somehow they balanced.
• I stayed committed and it paid off the first twenty years of my life.
• Life changed-I shifted and decided I wanted more. I started in a new career. Now I am back in college, working more on learning-than just working.

  My Likes

  • I like that when I wake up I see the sun, moon and stars. What a gift. (it's a long story)
  • I like the fact that I do wake up. (that's another long story)
  • I like the people in my life that support me and even the ones that doubt me. I realize that is just another form of competition for me. I need that competition- and am only beginning to grow up enough to realize I am my own competition every day.
  • I like this guy that is my neighbor-but I don't really think he fits into my shool, work schedule. I really did try to make a spreadsheet and give him time, but he says my schedule sucks. So I am pretty sure he is deleted.
  • I really love my dog and cat. They adjust well to all my schedules. Eating sleeping, just going outside and watching the sky. They dig it. I will keep them.

  What I want to do, when I find this treasure.

  I want to keep working and going to school, but accept that I can probably show up to class, pay attention, do my homework and will be alright.

  I will definetly keep my dog and cat. Much simpler than the complicated neighbor.

  I want to still wake up and find the stars,feel the sunshine, and enjoy the moon. "

  I just want to be a healthier and better Gerri today, than I was yesterday. "yeah!!"

The seeker and doer.

The person I am, I am always searching and looking for something that is going to change my life for the better.

I enjoy traveling, which includes flying. I like new, bright and shiny things that sometimes hold my interest for a while, and other times-just a splint second. Except my work. I love the mining industry and it is a dark wold at times. Just as a crow can fly to enormous heights, I can go underground thousands of feet. It is a thrill and an honor.

My Accomplishments

I like the crow because depending on who you talk to you will get a different perspective.

• I was an athlete and went to college on a basketball scholarship.
  
• I was an above average student.
  
• I had friends in all the groups and always wore black. That way I did not have to worry if it matched.
  
• My friends and family have usually supported me, but have warned that I may have to eat crow in my life time. They were right, and no matter how you serve it, it is a humbling experience when I am responsible and hold myself accountable.)

My Passions

• Always looking for Mr. right and manage to find the wrong duck. (it's a long story)
  
• MY work. Especially mining. Right now I audit. Who would have ever thought I would be in charge of others books making sure they add up??
• My little bro. Although he is 6'2" and about 250#. I am pretty sure I can take him, and will certainly keep him.
• Ruth

What my friends say about me

Spock: "Independent and caring. "

Dr. McCoy: "Boyfriends say bossy and demanding!"

"Mel and lil- Bill well they just say I am mess."

But that I am flying straight. "and that there is always HOPE!! Have a beautiful day."

Assignment #2/?? am I doing?

Hello!!

Yes for school. No for work.

I registered again for school-last semester after stepping away for 20 years.  I reached a stagnate point and twenty years is a long time to not learn what I could.  School is giving me this opportunity as well as a new life style.  I had to do some growing up.

As for my work, I really enjoy auditing and cannot believe I am involved with customer service and financial records, but I am in a dead end job.  The company is excellent and the owners are caring.  There is a ceiling and I truly believe I have reached it-there.

Being more involved with others and being back in school, and a few other changes I now see that I can take all this with me and go forward where the sky is the limit.  It is in my life today as long as I keep applying what I have learned.  Even in that twenty year hiatus.  I set my own limitations.  I can challenge myself today to be a better and more productive person than I was yesterday.

I am liking and accept what I am doing today.  I can see it building my tomorrow, yet today is good.
