The beginning.

Greetings to all,

My name is Brenda Blanco and here is a little something I would like to call, "a tool for inspiration".
I am new to this blogging world, though I have wanted to start one for what seems to be forever; so here it is, here I am.

About my blog:
This blog will pretty much be about my life, past and present. The lessons I have learned along the way and the many I will soon learn. I am not here to ask for sympathy for what some would call a "hard life" for I am really rather content with it. Simply here to spread as much hope with the lessons I have learned.
ALSO!
This blog will include interesting details of my life, you may follow me and watch me grow. I am a really rather nice young woman, creative in many ways and I would consider myself to be interesting :) shoot, I'd follow me.

Needless to say: This is the beginning of a new creation and my blog.

Number one:
For my first posting I would like to inform you all of a book I am currently reading titled "Gifted Hands" Written by Neurosurgeon Ben Carson. This book is as old as I am and yet I managed to stumble upon it, though I am almost certain God sent it into my path. For it is about a man and his struggle to become a doctor. As my eyes follow each line, I cannot help but to be amazed at how parallel our lives seem to be. This man lived in a less fortunate family, without a father. He worked very hard to get where he is, with the unbelievable support from his loving mother. I am not done with this piece of literature, though it is obvious he made it through his struggles. Which has inspired me like you would not believe to follow my dreams of becoming a pediatrician.

I recently got some devastating news, I cannot afford school this upcoming year. Which to most would not be a big deal, but to me, school is just about everything to me. I am a Nonprofit Leadership and Management major at Arizona State University and I love it. Working with Nonprofit organizations in the medical field is where I am meant to be, I can feel it in every inch of my body. Now I am the only child in the history of my family to want this high of an education and to pursue it. I am talking generations back. I am the only one truly seeking something greater. Though I cannot seem to find the support from my family. My mother, a woman who did not complete high school herself, has thankfully pushed me into school. She alone has supported my efforts through my journey. My father, absent for what seems to be my whole life, pressures school though does nothing to help me.

So here I am, working a full time job, a part time job and going to school full time. Because of these unfortunate circumstances, my grades have slipped far beyond they have ever in my life, decreasing my chances and dreams of getting into medical school. But because of this book GIFTED HANDS. I have not lost hope. I will work 16 jobs if I have to (though I realize that's impossible haha) but I will make it.
Again, I am not here for sympathy, just here to share the experiences of my real world.


Enjoy your life all.

speak with you again soon.
