New Horizens

Will be doing a LOT of praying the next month or so as I wait with bated breath to see if I get my foot in the door management wise with NARA.

I have no choice but to move up.

My education, my drive, my essence tells me I have to get out of the "comfort zone"

I currently am nestled in...(and ahhh it feels soooo good) and simply get my arse in gear.

I love my job however it can be a tad repetitive and it isn't what I went to school for.

I have had this drive in me since I can remember. I don't know what it is but am not satisfied with the status quo.

I do have allot on my plate at the moment with applying for higher grade jobs, the military, and trying to figure out if I want to stay in St. Louis or move on.

Just depends on where Fate takes me...........

Where I take myself.

But irregardless I know that God has a plan for me. I always believed in the age old adage that God helps those who help themselves.

I cannot sit around and wait for opportunity to fall in my lap.

The Archivist internship is a god send. WHY I am here. I have been waiting for a silver lining opportunity to shine upon me like this one.

Here you have a job where you intern for 2 years. You receive a mentor, you are molded into becoming someone who will lead NARA forward. Not just dumped into the position but actually educated and immersed within the very environment you will work out of.....granted I have been with the agency for almost 6 years....granted I have served half my life in the military and have 3 degrees but I still feel inadequate somehow....maybe the shyness thing who the $&*! knows...but I do know this...I am going to give 200% if I am chosen for this interview and if hired chosen to lead.....I didn't go through that harrowing path of graduate degrees, the military and working here as an Archives tech for NOTHING.

Moving forward..............

Moving on........................
