Day 7: Life Plans & Mentorship

Hey ladies and gents... the Lord is great and is to be exalted above all the earth!  Well Day 7 doesn't have any real assignment I can write about or any chapters to read. I'm still contemplating on my Life Plan.  I'd be cool if I can put together a life statement to start with so we'll see as I continue on this journey.  Today I need to name 3 or 4 people who have been a positive mentor to me and ask if I could contact them and ask for their advice.  Here are 3 people who come to my mind on first thought as mentors.

Positive Mentors

  1. Mrs. Hymes -- 7th grade English teacher
    • Not sure how I could contact her but she's one of the BEST teachers I had growing up.  She always challenged me to do better than my best.  
    • I haven't spoken to her since right before I graduated from high school.
  2. Allene Manning -- Older sister I never had
    • One of my buddies that has lived a few more years than me on this earth and has great wisdom to show for it.  Her faith and maturity in the Lord unshakable and I think her career actually is something she really enjoys.  I trust her advice. She's only a call away...
  3. Dr. Roy Dejoie -- M.I.S. professor for several classes at Purdue
    • He is very knowledgeable about various aspects of technology and someone I trust to advise me about potential career paths in IT.  He was probably my favorite professor at Purdue and one I make sure to keep in touch with periodically.  He loves what he does.  He's only an email away..

Mom.. if you're reading this.. don't be dismayed.  You are SO much more than a mentor.  You're my mom.. you're in a class of your own. Love you! ☺



I did realize that I answered the wrong set of "Countdown To The Work I Love" questions yesterday.  I answered Day 9's set.. lol.. So on Day 9.. I will answer Day 6 questions.  They kind of go hand and hand.

This was actually a short one (the crowd goes wild with applause)!  Until tomorrow...
