As I sat and watched Obama take the oath of the President of the United States of America. I felt an incredible sense of hope. Hope for America, hope for young people hope for my son and hope for a better tomorrow when we as Americans had manners, were good neighbors, loved thy neighbor and always lent a helping hand.
We as Americans have become such a nation of I’sums and not we’sums. We have forgotten how to care about each other.
I thought, I am about to go back to school, I am going to change my life. I am going to have the opportunity to change others one by one and make a difference in each and everyone I meet. I must set an example. I will give it my all. I will give others my time and spirit.
As Obama spoke about a better tomorrow I wept tears of sorrow of yesteryear, joy and happiness as I felt 20 again about to go to my first demonstration to change the world. I felt triumph that I had made a difference. We fought hard for equality for others. All the world needs is Love went by the way side for awhile and now we as a nation are going to bring it back.
Again, I will be a student, again I will work to change the world, and again I will feel the love and give the love.
This is why I need your info on grants for older women or women in the health field, so that this 58 year old woman that never gave up can rise again to once more before I pass through this world and make a difference.
I can no longer perform the duties that being a chef demands. I have chosen the medical field to help heal, care and make a warm difference in all people lives and show the youth that will work along side of me the way to really care and teach the values that have been left so far behind.
I hope this will encourage others my age to take that step to a new career. I was dismissed and replace by someone that required less pay. Now, I am unemployed, looking for work and about to go back to school in a week. Being in debt scares me at my age. I lost health insurance which scares me. Being scared is well scary but I must do this. I have no family to help so I must put my big girl panties on and believe in myself and go girl go…
