Welcome to my world

So, I decided to start blogging to keep a journal about what is going on in my life and hopefully look back and see how much I have grown over time. Life has been a little crazy, I am trying to work on end of the semester projects, study for tests and try to get into the holiday mood. I have been frustrated with myself because I have been making a lot of stupid mistakes and I am not performing as well as I would like. The hard thing to do and I honestly have been trying to not let things get to me and just focus on what needs to be done.

On a happy note, I have been chosen to receive a scholarship to take classes with IREM to get my CPM certification. It's crazy because a week ago I still did not have a clue what I am going to do with my degree. The beginning of the semester I put in an application for a scholarship and didn't think anything of it since I had nothing to lose but time writing up an essay. Anyway, on my application I explained that I was interested in commercial property management. My instructor asked me how serious I was about the field and I told him that I was very interested. Well IREM chose me for the scholarship and is having a holiday party on Dec. 2nd were they are going to present me with a scholarship for certification classes. Yes I did say classes, I am taking more classes starting next semester and the good thing is I did some research and found out I can take the courses online or homestudy. If all goes well I am going to be certified as a commercial property manager. Funny how God just leads you to where you need to be and open doors to you when you least expect it. I just trust God knows what he is doing because I sure don't!

Yesterday, I spent the whole day fixing my resume adding more information and writing up a professional cover letter. I submitted to two internship positions that are available for next semester. One is for Vester which deals with commercial properties, they are known for developing and managing the Target centers here in AZ. The other one is for MODE property management. I was disappointed that I didn't get the Westcor internship position this semester however, with my classes there was just no way I could of balanced both. So God was watching out for me and didn't want me to push myself over the edge. Again, I am leaving my future in Gods hands and hopefully he will continue to shed some light on my path.
