I Need Help Picking My Carpet Cleaner

I was having a hard time finding a carpet cleaner I would like, so I made sure that I found a place to get the best information. I ran across the carpetvacuumcleaner fb page, and I found information on all the prominent brands that I wanted to try. I knew that I could save a lot of money if I just did all the carpets myself because the house is not that big, but I needed to pick something that actually had good reviews.

I found the one or two that had the best reviews, and then I made sure that I read up on those cleaners more so that I could make the right choice. I found reviews by people that explained exactly how it worked, and I found reviews that explained why it worked in houses that are the same size as mine. I was very concerned about wearing out the cleaner because we have so much carpet, but I found a cleaner that someone with a huge house loved.

I am able to clean my own carpets every week, and it goes by easily. I have taught my kids how to use the cleaner, and I now have more money to spend on other things. I am not hiring a service that costs too much to clean the carpets, and I am not waiting for the cleaner to come along and help. I get it done on my schedule, and the carpets still look perfect all the time.

Academics

I personally think being self-reliant is wonderful things. To me there is nothing that makes me happier than being able to take care of myself and the things that I need and want. I earn my own money so I can spend my money how I desire. I love being independent and would hate living any other way. However, I wasn’t always able to take care of myself. I suffered and endured so many struggles that I thought that I would never get to be where I wanted to be in life.

One day I decided to try something different. I decided to go to college. I wasn’t sure what courses I wanted to take and I felt so intimidated by the thought of failing. I decided that trying and failing was a better option than staying in the same situation being annoyed, broke, and disgusted. I wanted a secure future and one day I wanted a family. I would never want my own family and children suffering because I didn’t do well in my academics. I then knew what I had to do to change my life. I set out on a unique and wonderful journey that was worth every second of what I went through. I knew that a secure future was the only way that I could be independent and help support my family. Most importantly I wanted to be able to take care of myself without drowning in the world. I also enjoy that I have a better understanding of others and the world around me.

Single Moms Can Do It To!

imageI am a single mother of three kids and often I feel like every dream I have ever had is a dead end street. Well except for having three beautiful babies of course. Between paying a high rental fee, an outrageous light bill and clothes for my kids, I really do not have any money to spare. Although I got pregnant at an early age and most of my traveling dreams were crushed, my dream of going to school still remains today. Until recently I always put if off and figured it was to much money to even bother thinking about taking one single, measly course. It was just yesterday that my mother called me up and told me about scholarships meant just for moms! Knowing that they had them out there specifically meant for people like me gave me a huge boost of motivation. Maybe moms can be students to? I have always had the motivation there to be better for my children, but this was the deal breaker right here.

All last night and this morning I have been racking my brain on what it is I should go to school for. I always wanted to be a veterinarian as a kid, but that was years ago. Maybe a doctor? Or even an ultrasound technician? There are just so many choices that it is making my brain want to explode at the moment! I feel like I am trying to rush myself and I know deep down that I just need to take it slow and just appreciate the fact that there are scholarships out there for me and I need to make a set plan. I figured maybe I should have my mom take the kids for an evening so I have a chance to calm my nerves and start filling out the application. I’m not sure I could do it with them here as they love to be on my lap checking out what I am doing at every moment. Oh, and they love to press buttons on moms laptops. I’m not sure I need any misspellings on an application for schooling!

Where I have never filled out an application for scholarships before I am unsure on whether or not I have to pick a school and classes out first? Either way I am just so excited that I have finally gotten the chance I have been looking for to become the mom I always knew I could be. When I told my oldest daughter about the scholarship she seemed just as happy as me and it melted my heart right on the spot. As a mom it is so refreshing to have your children excited for your own dreams and not only theirs. It just goes to show that I have been raising my children the right way and that being a single mom honestly is not that hard. I feel very on top of the world at the moment and nothing could interfere with this moment.

Time For a Higher Education

imageI just turned 26 years old this past February and I still have yet to further my education beyond high school. It is not that I am lazy, I just confuse myself on what I want to do. Every year it never fails that my family continuously harps on me to go back to school because if I don’t I will not amount to anything. That is what they say anyways. Well the fact is that I just needed to wait until I was ready and I finally am. I still am not completely sure on what direction to go with my education but I have set up an appointment at the community college so they can help me through my decision making process. I am sure they are used to people walking in there not knowing a single thing about college, so I’m not to worried about the first initial meeting. It is keeping up with the work I am worried about. But I guess I will just have to wait and worry about that when the time comes.

At the moment I am just very proud of myself at making the decision to go back to school and I’m actually pretty excited about it as well. I have finally grown tired of doing housekeeping jobs for the seventh year in a row. I want something that will actual support me and pay for a home of my own some day. Right now I rent a studio apartment and I definitely do not want to be here for my entire life. I want kids as well and I want them to see me as a successful mother who actually cared about her education. Not one who just gave up after senior year. A lot of moms my age don’t look at parenting in that perspective that I do and I think it is absolutely awful! I refuse to work a waitress job and not have my kids own everything they need. I want them to live a happy, healthy life as well as myself.

I never really understood how much education needed to be a part of my life until just recently. I guess I just never saw past a dead end job and a small apartment that I can barely move around in? I think it is just part of me becoming a mature adult more or less. My mother and father are going to freak out when they hear that I am applying for college. They have been awaiting this call for years on end! It is a proud moment for not only me, but for them as well. Although they have tried pushing me towards a higher education for years now, they have still at least supported everything I have ever chosen to do in my life. Not many parents are like that, so for that reason I am extremely appreciative towards them and what they do for me. I am a very lucky woman.
