I divorced a cheating ex, moved to my hometown, and I'm starting over even though he thought I wouldn't leave for financial reasons.  I'm looking for that first teaching job with a degree I recently received while surviving on a small income as an aide at an elementary school. 

At first I tried working 3 jobs but realized that it was killing me.  I quit one and thought I would just work the two jobs and try to make it until my dream job came along (teacher).  Waking at 2:45 a.m. every day and working from 4:00 a.m. until 7:00 a.m. and then going to my 2nd job at 7:30 a.m. and working until 3:00 p.m. was killing me.  I was tired all the time and began to stay sick most of the time.  I never missed a day of work though.  I remained loyal plus I knew I couldn't afford to miss a day of work.

Now, I'm just plain wore out and can't continue to work 2 jobs.  But, I realized that I couldn't make it on a Teacher aide monthly check of $420 (bring home) a month.  Thus, Celebrate With Gifts by Cindy was born on eBay.  I took some money from my savings account to launch my new online eBay store to take the place of my 2nd job.  I've decided to have a little faith in myself and just see what I might could do to come up with the extra $300 a month that I need to make ends meet while I wait patiently for my teaching career to begin.

I want so badly to become a teacher.  I know I would be a great teacher.  I know that I love working with kids.  At least as an aide, I'm able to work with kids.  I'm a Physical Education Teacher Aide at a great school!  I'm hoping to get a Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade teaching position some day.  Until then I'll just keep hanging on.

I'm trying to get my new eBay store out there so everyone will know that it's there!  I've told all my friends and family to help support this new venture.  I know that everyone buys birthday, holiday, graduation, thank-you, housewarming, and all occasion gifts sooner or later.  I will be offering unique gift ideas at affordable prices.  I am going to focus on gifts under $20.

To those of you who are like me and trying to just make it, don't give up!  If you give up, you'll never make it.  If you keep on keeping on, you are sure to succeed!
