$igning my Life Away

Everyday we hear that the government has grants to help you go back to school. What they don't say is that the grants available are only for First time college students working on their First Bachelors Degree. So with that said I have been praying and praying to God reminding him that if he opened that door, he also needs to provide the finances. As you can imagine by the title of this post I had to sign some papers and Thankfully I was offered some Financial Aid, unfortunately it is all in the type of a Loan. I told God I am taking it, but He needs to help me find away to not have to get any more loans. So I will make sure I do my best so that I can apply to some scholarships. I am scheduled and enrolled and ready to start on January 9, and in case you were wondering I already have Homework.


Words to remember: God opens doors for you, but you have to knock first and be willing to walk thru the open door. 

What does that mean, well that God answers prayers but we need to act and show him what we want. He won't send you a blessing unless you are willing to do your part. So remember its a partnership and you put your 100% and God puts his 100%.

Greetings and Welcome

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline

Hello and Welcome I am so glad to be able to start this New Blog and I hope that it reaches many. I am about a month away from starting my first year of Grad school and it is exciting. I want to Thank God for the opportunity that he has given me. When I call upon the name of his son Jesus and asked for the doors to be opened to continue my education. I was not expecting such great doors to be opened. But that is exactly how God works, he gives you more than what you asked. I want to tell you a bit about me, I am  a first generation everything...First generation High School graduate, First Generation College Student, First Generation College Graduate, First Generation Grad Student and with the Help of GOD I will be a First Generation Grad School Graduate with a Masters Degree and If the Lord wills it, I will become a First generation Law School Graduate.  As you can see I have great reasons to be very grateful.  I was born in El Salvador to a 22 year old father and a 27 year old mother. I was raised the first years of my life with my grandmother and I had a loving uncle who was my first teacher. He passed away at an early age back in 2005, but I will forever be grateful to him for teaching me to love learning. He would be so proud of me, and would be so excited to know that I will be attending USC and working on a Masters Degree. But I am sure he knows, I am sure Jesus has informed them that I asked for a miracle and he answered me. I decided to start this new blog to journal my new journey. In hopes to inspire and provide support for Latinas who might be heading in my same direction. I know its a tough road and we have to face many obstacles, sacrifices have to be made but I have my eyes set on Graduation and I just keep looking forward and Pray that God gives me strenght, wisdom and intelligence to succeed.  In the following entries I will tell you a bit about myself and I hope that my story inspires you to keep your dreams alive and to look for your success. 

12/15/2011 - Today's words to remember 

 with God on your side you can achieve ANYTHING,  just have Faith and Trust in him and in yourself.
