It was during these times of waiting that I made my fondest memories of the trip. No one in the city had found the pavement of…

the daycare my daughter was attending informed me that I needed to place him on a waiting list. I had just learned of my pregnancy and now I was placing him on waiting list. Luckily, I listened because my child would have a place where I had established trust. Not to mention I would get a discount for having both kids attend the same location.

I was visiting Dillard’s this past weekend like normal to see how their prices differ from Macys. I also made a visit to find an item that was on Macy’s website so that I could see if it would be more reasonable to buy the item now instead of waiting. I wanted a polo V-neck shirt and some cargo pants that both were available in Macys and Dillard’s. I started in the problem recognition stage because ultimately I had to figure out if the items were actually needed or where they a want. Therefore,…

The year is finally here. Everyone said this is one of the worst years of high school. I have to start studying for my SATs, start thinking about where I was going to pursue my education, and most importantly, what I wanted to do in life. I heard all the abhorrence stories about junior year. For example, people exclaimed the stress will eat you alive. Hearing all of those stories made me apprehensive about junior year.
