When I finished high school, I decided to take classes at an online business academy. I do not regret this decision and I got a really good education. It was a bit harder not being in a classroom setting, but I loved that I could work at my own pace.

I am thankful for the school every day when I am sitting in the office, doing a job I never would have gotten without that diploma. It has been a fantastic journey and I have a better job than most of my friends.

Recently, I have been writing insurance reviews for an outside company. It is our slow months, so we take some outside contract work, on top of our regular office duties. I have been finding this both challenging and fun.

Last week we did some store reviews and they were impressed by how well I did. I have to admit, though, that I do love to shop and that may be one reason I was pretty knowledgeable with most of the stores we reviewed.
