Big Brother, Big Sister

So....

One of my goals in life is to become a Big Brother, Big Sister volunteer, and guess what? I'm in the process of becoming one! Yay! I'm so ecstatic. *smiles* Saint Peters' Community Service is becoming involved with the Big Brother, Big Sister Organization of Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties, and will help "Bigs" (mentors) get paired with "Littles" (children) from Jersey City public schools. I have an interview next Wednesday so hopefully I'll become a mentor. *crosses fingers*

Just wanted to share that with everyone. ;)

If you're interested in becoming a "Big", go to Community Service and speak to Betsy and get an application. It's only four hours a month to help a child that might need your guidance so I encourage everyone who can become a volunteer to do so.

And Our 44th President Is...


...BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!!

It makes me smile that 40 years after Robert Kennedy predicted that an African-American man could become president, it actually occurs. Barack Obama becoming president, as well as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton being involved in the presidential campaigns as possible VP and President, encourages all to pursue their dreams and that anything is possible.

I'm so glad I can say that I was a part of history and that I voted AND IT MATTERED!!!!
