I am very hopeful that we can figure out the cause and fix me . Its is down trotting to be in pain all the time but im going to maintain possitivity. I will definately keep praying about it .
My cna classes have been so jam packed with information. There are so many components to taking care of people which i already knew that .

    I last week have started my cna classes . It has been awesome so much new information to learn . The wonderful people that i am taking the class with are so awesome . The teachers are very genuine and nice and want to do everything they can to make sure we are sucessful .
    While on the aubject of my studies my bible and devotional studies have been so relaxing and elightening . This section is what has opened my mind up and made me realize that words as well as actions are imprtant ,” Watch your words diligwntly. Words have such great power to bless or to wound. When you speak carelessly or negatively , you damage others as well as yourself . ” Such wise words i wouldn’t have said it better myself.
    Here are some happy moments i wanted to share .
