For example ever since I started my blog I never knew how to make a website I had to self study to get where I am and I am still learning new things. My son said, do you get paid not really because I am self employed where you give yourself an income. I asked why he wanted to know. He said, he is doing job immersion and he is not getting paid for it. It wasn’t a choice for me I have to do it because it is required for me to graduate.

It gives you experience where most people don’t get a chance to some people graduate without having any job experience and fall back later not wanting the career th...

Crooked Street in San Francisco, California

Starting the crooked street located in Lombard Street, San Francisco every tourist want to drive or walk and take pictures. Every time my vacation ends my entire friends feel like they will miss me. I always tell them no matter how busy they are with their own life. We will always keep in touch. The hardest part of my trip is saying goodbye to my family and close friends. I am grateful for them to make time even if they are busy from work and ask for a day off just to see me. I feel special because we treat ourselves like a family. No matter how distance we are a part of each other we try to get together and catch up on what has been going on with our separate lives. The best part of having a close friend for a very long time we are always there for them. It is a pleasure spending time in a short moment on your vacation. NOT SPONSORED.
