Living in Charlotte
Well I had wrote a very long entry the other day, with subheadings, bold, caps, the works, but it disappeared so I will just give a recap and additional updates
First of all, I quit the internship. It was just too much on me. I was tired of feeling like a bad worker. The lawyer didn't like the way I talked and interacted with clients plus he made it clear that I did not work fast enough so I quit. I consulted with a school counselor first and she advised me that the best thing to do would be to quit. I feel much better now that I did. I was also having transportation problems. The bus would get me there late sometimes and pick me up late. I worked at least 20 hours a week (unpaid) but the lawyer still was not satisfied.
This has me wondering if this is the field I want to be in. Classes are boring and I don't feel like this is my passion. My bad experience with the internship plus a lack of interest in school has me really trying to decide if I want to stick with this.
What I really want to do is write a book and build a website for people with disabilities (preferably teens). I love blogging so I want to do that too. My new guyfriend has motivated me to become an "internet entrepreneur" making money from home so this is an idea I really want to try out. As long as I can make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities, I am sure I will love it. I will keep you guys posted on my progress.
As I said before, I have been having transportation problems. One day the bus dropped me off at the store and was going to leave me stranded there until at least 9:30 at night. My phone was dead and I was by myself but luckily I met a security guard who knew one of the employees who worked in the shopping center and she gave me a ride home. I hate riding the bus now. I love going places and seeing the city. I just hate the long wait. I had to wait an hour for another bus to come pick me up after getting dropped off to pick up my medication which only took all of 3 minutes. If I become an internet entrepreneur or writer or both, I won't have to worry about taking the bus or driving. I will finally be able to work from home doing what I love!
I found out I have been approved for SSI so thank God I will have money to pay my bills. I was hoping to get some assistance from Vocational Rehabilitation but apparently they only help with job placement and since I don't want to work right now, I guess i don't qualify for their assistance.
I found my wrist support! It was under my rug which my dad had moved the last time he was here. I cant wait to start wearing it again. Speaking of my hand, I gave bioness another call. My prescription was still good from last year so the rep submitted it to my insurance. I am praying I get it this time! I am glad to know I still have options though. She said I can rent it or we can appeal or get my hand therapist to show that the e-stim worked for me. There are so many options that I did not even know about last year but I am still believing that they will just approve it and I wont have to go through the extra stuff.
Well I can't really remember what else I said in my initial entry so I guess thats all folks. Thanks for reading.
