| 1st days of work |
| Hi all. Well, I have had my first couple days of work. So far I have just been observing the staff and doing my modules. Wednesday I will be in ratio, which means I will have 12 kids under my supervision! I pretty much have the jist of what my responsibilites are but it's a learning experience so the more I work the more I'll learn of course :) Right now my 2 modules are Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect and Identifying and Reporting Child Abuse. Basicly these are booklets that I have to study and answer the questions. The other 13 modules I have to do require me to study the booklet, answer the questions, take an exam and then act out what I have learned. It's alot of stuff to absorb for me, but I know God will help me and Josh is always there to support me. My hours are 645am-845/230pm-530pm right now, I don't know what they will be later on. I like the gap in between hours because I am able to study my modules, do some housework, and maybe eventually do some college classes. I have weekends (mostly) and federal holidays off. I hope we are able to go home in March or mid march. It all depends on if they can find someone to cover my work. Which shouldn't be to hard since I'm just starting out and it's not summer time. We'll see how it goes when I request the paperwork to leave for 3 weeks. Anywho,pray for me. God Bless |

| School Age Program Orientation |
| Hi all. Today I finally went for my job orientation. There's still alot of paperwork to do and alot of rules I have to learn, but once I actually start my job, which should be soon , I'll learn by observation. There's 13 modules (job training) I have to complete and a physical with lots of shots. Some of the modules are First aid, Customer service and Working with youth. I'm excited because there will be field trips, crafts and I'll make some friends. Anywho it's a busy week for me, I have anthor job meeting tomarrow with lots of paperwork, yay :(, Josh and I are going with some friends to see Night at the Museum movie with Ben Stiller on Foster,which should be funny. Saturday Josh has soccor practice, Sunday I'm volunteering at the OAARS shelter, Monday I don't have anything to do so far....cross your fingers! Tuesday there's Lily's vet appointment and so much more for me to do. But I like to be busy, a steady busy not stressed out from to much work busy. Anywho enough of my rambeling. God Bless |

| A New Year! |
| Well, it's a new year and I thinks it's going pretty well so far :) Although Josh and I didn't see the ball drop on New Years eve we still counted down as the 12 o'clock hour drew near. Josh's resolution this year was to work out our arguments in a more civil way and to have less of them. Which is good :) And mine were to manage my stress better and learn how to cook better meals for myself and Josh. I have quite a few resoluntions but those were the best. I still haven't started working yet but I hope to start working at the latest mid-January. Today I went to anthor OAARS adoption event, I didn't take Buttons but I went to make sure someone adopted or fostered 2 little black kittens and 3 puppies that were found over the weekend. I pushed to get these little boogers adopted as soon as possible. The 3 little puppies had a temporary home to go to if they didn't get adopted but the 2 little black kittens would have been put back on the streets if they didn't go to the event. Thank God a home was found for all of them, including the chicken that was mothering the puppies, hahaha. So it was a good LONG day. Also unfortunatley this year I have a strange rash on my stomach, neck, back and arms. Josh says that I'm alergic to something but I never have been before. It doesn't itch but it's spreading quick arrggg. My only doctor appointment is the 16th! Hopefully it won't get worse before then :( Other than that I think it's a great year so far! God Bless |

My review
I'm really humbled by this book. Her journey during the war is truly and inspiration to life. I now look around while I'm driving or walking on Okinawa and think to myself of the struggles that so many Okinawan refugees went through, including the author as a 7 year old child! Defiantly an inspirational read!
