Proof of answered prayers....

So most people know that my two loves in life are children and studying medical sciences. I graduated from Carthage with a BA in Biology and Chemistry hoping that would be enough science background to get me into any Medical School, Physician's Assistant School, or Physical Therapy School. Over the summer I then slaved over getting licensed as an EMT. Basically being an EMT would allow me to get hours in the medical field to enhance my applications to schools in the future. I knew I would enjoy it, but I feared the off shifts, driving big ambulances in a HUGE city, being on call constantly, working weekends, and basically having no life other than EMT. But I applied everywhere anyhow. I knew I would miss working with children so I also placed a request into a local children's hospital to volunteer on my off days to get my kid fix and help little sicklings.

The volunteer process takes 6 weeks...they are serious about this stuff! But while cruising the hospital website I came across a job that sounded interested BUT didn't think I was quite qualified. I figured the worst that could happen was my application would get trashed and I would move on. So I went for it and got a call within 2 days asking me to come in the next day for an interview.

Off I went nervous as can be, but it went well. The problem was...they had at least 6 more interviews after me and had plenty before me. So I basically just let it go and kept applying elsewhere.

Friday I got another call. I figured it would be them telling me that i was not what they were looking for....however that was not the case. I GOT THE JOB!!!

Now I am employed by:
The largest children's hospital in CA. And I will be working full time DAYS with KIDS! Seriously a huge answer to prayer. I am a Physical Therapy Aide and will be assisting the physical therapists and occupational therapists with their treatment of lots of little lovely children. What could be better. Getting paid for something i was 100% willing to volunteer for. Seems like this happens to me all the time because that is how I got my job at COCUSA back in 2003. Called them just wanting to volunteer my time and they hired me. Now i got to Rady just wanting to volunteer my time and they hire me :o) Maybe if I try to volunteer to get into a Masters or Doctorate program they will just accept me. haha

When that time comes we will see, but for now I am just thrilled to have a wonderful job with wonderful people in an AMAZING city!

Thanks for all the prayers!
