When I grow up...

For as long as I can remember I've felt like I didn't really know what I was supposed to do in life.  When I was in high school all my friends were making plans for college, they had dreams and goals.  Not me... My sister knew that she wanted to be a dental hygienist for as long as I can remember.

Graduation day came and I remember my mom telling me I had to get a job, go to college or move out.  So I went to college with no idea where I was going and quickly found out I was going no where.  I hated the classes and path I'd chosen.  Next I signed up for Beauty College, that lasted about 9 weeks and I realized it just wasn't for me.  I decided to try the job route...minimum wage, working at an electric/plumbing supply store as the counter girl wasn't my dream job.  It was an 8 hour day of sexual harassment.  Back to college I went.  I decided I'd get a AA in secretarial science.  I excelled in typing, 10-key, computers etc and quickly found a job when I got out of school.  I worked for CITGO Petroleum for 16 years until Y2K took my job away.  I can't say that being an Administrative Assistant was my dream job, but I loved my CITGO family and it was really hard to say good-bye.

From there I ended up as a Staffing Supervisor for a temp service, helping people find jobs.  This was something that I really enjoyed.  Helping people and when they were excited about the path their life was taking it made me so happy.  Not all of the job was sunshine and roses believe me.  There's a lot of babysitting involved.  Hunting the people down who didn't show up for work, firing the ones that just didn't work out, but it was all worth the few that would come back months later and tell me they were so happy and how much I'd changed their lives.  Sadly, due to reorganization of the company, my position was eliminated after 10 years.

With the job market at an all time low in September 2009, jobs were few and far between.  So with my families blessing, I opened my own business.  A yarn shop.  It was so much fun.  I loved teaching people how to knit, helping them with projects, seeing them start out with 2 needles and some yarn and end up with a beautiful sweater or pair of socks.  It seemed to fill a hole in me.  I had found my calling.  It was just helping people.  Whether it was helping them find a job or knit a sweater, the act of helping was what I craved.

That is why when the opportunity to work for Skinny Body Care was presented to me, I went in full blown, guns blazing.  Just sharing this product and what it has done for me and my friends has absolutely changed my life.  When a customer sends me a message telling me that they've never felt better, or they've lost 10 lbs this month.  It gives me that feeling that I've been looking for since I was a kid.  I want to help anyone that will listen to me.  If you're ready for some help, I'm here for you.  Send me a friend request on facebook and I'll answer any questions you have.  https://www.facebook.com/teresa.copelandharmon
