It's hard to fathom, that the entire nation is in the same rut. Our financial crisis couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me...I just graduated from college, I'm ready to move, and excited about what the future holds for me. However, the economy has other plans in mind. So I guess I am not going anywhere too fast, right. I can have all the hope in the world, but the reality of the matter is...it's really not up to me. Frustrating at best :( I plan on continuing my efforts to move out of this lovely state and pursue my dreams. I know I'm not the only one trying to pursue my dreams, but I am the only Kelly-Kristine Smith trying to do it ;) To all my fellow sistas out there...KEEP UR HEAD UP! No matter what you are trying to succeed at in your life. You can make it happen. It might not happen tomorrow, or in the next couple of months, but work hard enough & it CAN work out for you. In the future (waayyyyy down the line), I want my kids to know that their mom put her heart and soul into my achieving my dreams. Futhermore, with Obama in office it gives us all more hope for change. We are going to make it ladies, Stay up and stay strong k!
