My first blog! What to write about?
I’ll introduce myself. My name is
Jennifer Lara. I’m happily married to my husband, Joe and we have a beautiful
daughter, Abby. I’m a no fuss-no muss type of person. I see myself as a simple
person with simple tastes. I enjoy books, movies and TV shows. I enjoy spending
time with my family in the simplest ways, like watching football games or even
watching games shows. I love to learn. I’m
a college graduate who graduated when the economy went bust and I found myself
looking for jobs that I trained for but were no longer available. What to do? I
scrambled for any job that was remotely related to my field of study and
finding that I had the education but not the experience. I started to feel like
a failure that I would never work in the field that I studied, especially when
my fellow classmates were getting jobs in their fields.
So, I took a couple of years while
I had my daughter and stayed at home with her. One day recently, it clicked! I
love to write and write about anything and everything. I’m always writing
character sketches, scenes and informative essays like I did in college. So why
not post a blog? Then I thought who would read it? Then I remember a famous
quote from Thomas Edison who said, “Many of life’s failures are people who did
not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Why give up before I start? If no one reads
this blog at least it’s a great outlet for me to get my thoughts, opinions and
observations out in the world. And maybe, just maybe someone will come across
my work and like what they read. It takes just one reader to gain a thousand
more.
I aim to be fair. I aim to
investigate all sides of a topic before voicing an opinion. I intend to write
about all topics in current events, entertainment, personal everyday
occurrences and any others that might be interesting to write and to read
about. My readers, I hope you find my blog informative as well as entertaining.
I welcome your comments; however, if you are going to be vulgar, rude or
disrespectful, your comments are not welcome.
Thank you for reading!!!
