Getting Jobs With Indeed

Image
 Hi everyone, recently I’ve been looking for jobs so that I can start making an income and getting job experience. Since this is the digital age, it shouldn’t surprise you that most applications are online. I used the website  Indeed .  It was super nice and user friendly. I could enter in my resume and any skills I had, along with any prior work experience and cover letters. I could save jobs for later or apply to them quickly and easily with just the click of a button. (I don’t live in New York, and I didn’t apply to be a Dental Assistant lol) I could even view any messages I had from possible employers quickly and easily, and respond from my email or the website. All of the jobs had very in-depth job descriptions. I could sort my searches by location, type of job, qualifications, pay, and more.  Overall I 100% recommend Indeed for anyone looking for a first time job or a next job, as it’s totally worth it, free, and easy to use!! Keep living life random, Amelia

She Moved To Texas

 Hi everyone, Amelia here today. You might have seen the list of links on our side bar: Well one of those blogs is  She Moved to Texas , a blog about Love, Loss & Horses. I just recently discovered this blog in late March, and since have followed it continuously.  Lauren Mauldin’s blog is so inspiring to equestrians and (ehem) normal people alike. She has a dappled grey gelding named Poet, and you can follow her through the course of their relationship in a journey of joy and pain. This blog has so many stories that make you say ‘Wait a minute, I’m not the only one’, stories that make you laugh, and stories that make you cry.  It’s so inspiring to read about a fellow equestrian that has suffered so much and still finds refuge in the world of horses. Lauren’s blog is so amazing and real that when I finish reading an article I just have to sit for a moment and just say ‘wow’.  I definitely suggest reading  Letter To My Younger Equestrian Self , as it gave...

Inspiring Feminist Poem By A Girl In My Class ‘Tea Bag’

 Hi everyone, I’ve already told you about the feminist movement at my school. If you haven’t read it yet, click on this link to read it. I published it yesterday.  A girl in my class wrote this short poem, ‘Tea Bag’. Here it is: Inspiration quote: “ A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it’s in hot water. “ -Eleanor Roosevelt I may not be too strong if I’m in cold water You put me in a boiling cup of hatred That’s when I am most formidable  I will not stop Till my cup is cool Thanks for reading, Amelia

Still I Rise By Maya Angelou

 Hi everyone! Lately the girls in my class have been organizing a movement to push back against the sexism in our school. We have a document where we can share poems, quotes, and other inspirational things. On the last day of school, we are all going to wear tank tops (break the dress code) and write inspiring quotes on our hands. I just thought I’d share this spectacular poem by Maya Angelou, ‘Still I Rise’. They shared this excerpt from the poem: You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Here is the entire poem: You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sas...

My 30 by 30 Equine Bucket List

 Hi everyone! Today I’m going to write my equine bucket list! This is the list of 30 equestrian things I want to do before I turn 30!! As you all have probably guessed, I’m in my early-mid teens, so I have a while! Jump over 3 feet Gallop at absolute top speed across a big field Ride on a track (a race track) even if it’s just at a trot or canter, that sounds like so much fun Canter along the ocean on the beach (a large lake would work, too) Own a horse Lease a horse before I’m 17 Jump bareback Stand up on a moving horse Jump on a horse bareback from the ground Try dressage riding Try full-on gallop barrel racing (you all know I have a need for speed πŸ˜‚) Train a horse to do something from scratch Introduce my dog to a horse Put a dog on a horse’s back Ride one of the dancing horses Help save a horse (from slaughter, colic, etc) Be able to draw a realistic horse from scratch Race someone on horseback Ride a horse with just a rope and nothing else Compete in a horse show and win some...
