Jobs

Ronald Reagan once said, "Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we've ever known."

Submitted my first job application for work in the Real World today! A little scary thinking of graduation and stepping out into the world, but so excited! Praying that it is well received despite my inability to start until August of this year. Would appreciate your prayers on this too! It would be my dream job. Event Planner for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Library. I love planning, I love throwing parties, I love lists, and I love Reagan! How could any job be more perfect?

For anyone who knows me would know that I love to plan events, as small as personal dinner parties or Super Bowl Game day events, to date nights for friends, Campus Crusade parties, or even high school proms and winter formals. My internship this year with Aramark (U.Dining) has been great because I get to plan events for JAM. It has been a bit difficult because of the very limited, non-existent budget, but absolutely great experience.

When I took this internship last September I didn't realize that it would be such great experience for this other full time position with the Reagan Foundation, amidst others. Working on a tight budget, being detail oriented, raising awareness, etc.

I know that getting this job may be a bit of a long shot, but with God all things are possible, right? But I am optimistic that if it is meant to be, I will be called for an interview. Then California, here I come!
