My mother would remember I would write stories all the time and my sister would remember my nose buried in some book..
When I was 11 years old, I started writing little newspaper articles for fun.
When I was a junior in high school, I wrote for our cute little newspaper that my English teacher started for us. It was then I knew I for sure wanted to pursue journalism and so I did as I attended SUU from 2004-07 then 2009-13 after my mission. I took on a job at the Iron County Today for 6 months in 2014 and was at St. George News for 8 months.
It was odd for me to think after dreaming of being the next Katie Couric that I would change and pursue a different career, but God had other plans for me.
As the work piled on so did the stress. Mental, physical and spiritual issues did also as I took on nearly 70 hours working hard at my dream career as a journalist. Not feeling comfortable, needed, appreciated and more were other issues I was having in my workplace. I was not happy in what I once thought would be the career I'd live and love the rest of my life. Sensitive subjects were put in the spotlight that I didn't feel I needed to put out there. My love for it all had began to fade.
I pursued other options and found myself hired at a car dealership working as an Internet Sales Rep. The hours, environment and work were all comforting to me and still is. At Stephen Wade Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram I am thriving and enjoying my life. Never did I think I would be placed here. I used to fear salespeople or ever being one myself, but here I am loving it.
Everyone needs a car, I pondered. I'm not selling things that people don't need like I did at a previous job. My job is to set appointments for people to come buy and answer questions they may have and sometimes help in the process of conducting a sell over the phone! :)
As I got into the job, I found myself trading my Chrysler 200 in for this beauty I'd always saw myself getting, but here I could finally afford it! :)

I am so blessed for a healthy life, a God that loves and takes care of me, a family that loves me, friends that are always there for me, a boyfriend who loves me even though I am crazy.. and on this day a mother who has always taught me the right way to go in life.
