Wow. I just realized that things usually come easy to me, well everything except math.
Opportunities just present themselves and I grab ahold and run with it. This is not one of those times.
I usually blow interviews out of the water. With just my passion and confidence in myself, I can make someone believe in my dreams. People have unshakeable faith in me. For some reason, the publisher of the newspaper is still undecided about hiring me.
My friend Hansen, who is a staff writer there already, called me after their weekly meeting tonight and told me that she is so impressed by me. He said she thinks that I am so pretty and I am so personable and that she said,”She could probably sell anything to a white man.”
He said she is just a hair away from hiring me and she needs something to push her over the edge. She also mentioned that the salary we negotiated is far off from what she would normally pay someone. Hansen said she really wants me there but even in the worst case scenario I am guaranteed my own column and an opportunity to help develop the Faith and Family section of the newspaper. He said those are already done deals even if I am not hired full-time.
I can work somewhere else and still write my column and encourage ppl in their faith, THAT is amazing on its own, but I want the big prize; I want to be her personal assistant. To sit right next to one of Miami’s leaders and learn, learn, learn. TO be shaped into an all around communicating wiz. To develop contacts and build trust and friendships with all the right people and eventually be able to make a difference through my influence.
God didnt give me this cute face and this sparkling personality for nothing.
I’m about to pull out all my cards to make it happen, and I ain’t playin’.
