Taking a Class

I have decided to take a couple of classes at the local community college. One class will be online Speed Spanish that lasts for 2 months. They have 3 levels and I plan to take all 3. And I have decided to check out being a Nurses Aide. So I'm taking an online class for that as well. They have morning labs on Saturdays and Sundays. This class will start in October and continue into February.

There are many benefits to me in taking these classes.
  1. It could turn into my part time job which will help me to pay off my bills and set some money aside so I can follow my heart.
  2. I could follow this 'career path' when I retire from my full time job.
  3. It will get me started into an area of helping people, which is the ultimate direction I want to go, and will probably help lead to other areas as well.
  4. Later, if I actually end up following my dream, this will be helpful to me in assisting other people and in assisting in disaster areas.
  5. Studying Spanish along with this opens a whole new world and culture to me and will help broaden the spectrum of people I can help.
  6. I have thought of many more, but they're just not coming to me right now.
I am very excited and very much looking forward to this. I really would like to get some nutritional recipes down before I get so busy with classes. I need to focus on that for a bit. Everyone in my family seems to be on board with eating healthier, so I at least have a cooperative spirit in my house.

I have found a great site for helping to save money on groceries and save time by doing the research for me. It's www.thegrocerygame.com. Check it out and see if it would help you as well. There is a free four week trial. I saved $100 on $226 in groceries my first time trying it. It helps if you can stockpile for a little while, then you will really reap the benefits!! My daughter tried it and saved over $100 on $200 in groceries her first time.
