One year ago, I made a courageous decision to step out of my comfort zone and take a chance on being able to pursue a step into the direction of my career goal, becoming a lender in banking. A dear friend of mine called me one evening and told me that a mortgage processing position had become available and that I should come by and talk with the owners of Simply Home Lending, Jason and Kelly. I remember walking in and being beyond nervous, as I knew that I was secure in my current job, but I knew that to be able to expand into lending, I would have to go elsewhere, as the opportunity to advance was not there for me.

A lot of changes were taking place and I was having a really hard time wrapping my head around the changes, as I just didn’t feel comfortable. Every day, I would chat with my friend, just to see if they had said anything, or if they were even interested. She couldn’t settle my nerves, as she knew nothing about what they were wanting to do or where they were wanting to go with their company. Little did I know, they were contemplating on taking a big leap of faith on me! I will never forget, that Friday evening, way after hours, Kelly called me to share that they wanted me to join their team! Needless to say, I was beyond ecstatic, yet afraid, because they had no clue what they were taking a chance

    The three most important aspects, I think, in the article are: Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC), how FHA encouraged racism and classism, Edgemoor Terrace. HOLC is important because it transformed how Americans can buy their homes; the law that worked so well that we are still using it 84 years later. Second, how FHA encouraged racism and classism; it’s interesting to see how even through something intangible, people can still be racist and classist. This is important because of this, “red lining” happened and is still happening. We can see how some neighborhoods are getting more funds to build better/newer playgrounds, schools, parks, and overall, just to make/keep the neighborhood looking good.…

    The Role of Homeownership in American Society: Final Copy Homeownership means more than simply having a roof over one’s head. It symbolizes family, safety, comfort, and to some, financial security. However, homeownership in modern America is a double-edged sword.

    For the first five years of elementary school, I attended the small school located at the back of our church’s property. Enrollment ranged from about 10-15 students in 1st through 8th grade. The last three years of my grade school experience were spent attending Lodi Seventh-day Adventist Elementary. This school went from kindergarten to 8th grade and fed into Lodi Academy, so in all, kindergarten through 12th grade! I came from a small, two-room school, and seeing as I was not very accustomed to being with such a large body of students, suddenly becoming immersed in a class with more students than that of my entire old school was definitely intriguing!…

    Both Kelly and I were thrilled, not only to have a day out of the office, but to spend it together with the bonus of learning skills that would make us both more marketable. It was the first time that I had ever been out of the office with Kelly, and I was really looking forward to spending some quality time with her since most of the other people in the office would have given their right arm to spend such concentrated time with her. On the day of the workshop, I met her at the office and we left together in my car, after Kelly entertained everyone with stories about what had gone on at home the night before. Her dog had been sprayed by a skunk, and her story was very vivid and hilarious. We said our goodbyes, and went off on our…
