I have weekly appointments with Heather Morris who is my course advisor and monitors my progress to help me prepare for my degree exam coming up. I open my zoom meeting app and wait for her to join. As soon as i get settled, my screen is lit with Heather's smiling face.
"Hey Neese!"
"Hey Heather, who are you ?" I say
"Taking life as it comes, trying to make the most of it you know". She giggles after
"That's a good way to look at it". I smile
"Yeah now let's talk about you". Heather replied "Are you ready for the current issue exam for your last semester?"
I give a loud sigh "No am not Heather".
"Okay but are you currently working on the units?" She asks
"Yes I have, have read my notes Heather, its just that a good friend of mine had to leave town and then left me with an events planning with an old friend of mine".
I almost choked on that word
FRIEND
JOSH AND I
FRIENDS
"I see, so what if we rescheduled your tests till Friday when you done so you can focus fully on the test". Heater suggests
So thoughtful.
"Aww thank you, I promise to prepare effectively". I almost hug my laptop.
"You welcome Neese, and I have confidence you will make the certificate and nail the exam".
I just wanted to make sure what I was getting myself into before starting my own counselling company and make sure my clients did not have a hard time.
"Open your inbox, I have something to share".
I opened my email and saw the Health matters grant
"What is it about ?" I ask
"It's an application offering a grant to graduating students who want to make an impact in their communities.
WOW
"The grant is ten thousand dollars, you are a perfect candidate for it. You have the passion and the dream and you are ready to take on a company".
"Thank you, it sounds like a huge opportunity".
"Go for it Neese. Just turn it in before the deadline and include all you would do to go about the implementation".
Am I ready for this?
"Okay , I share recipes for people who have health conditions on Instagram". I paused
Heather's face has a huge smile "That's good. Is there a way to incorporate your knowledge in nutrition in the event you are participating in this week?".
Was there?
"I believe I can, we will have bake sales. I can incorporate some healthy treats in there".
"That sounds good now check on that hottie in your backyard". Heathers eyes dated to the corner of the screen . She laughs and cuts the call
A hottie?
In my backyard?
What?
I then hear the sound of water splashing and laughter. I sprint to my feet to check on who it is.
JOSHUA ROSSI.
"What the hell do you think you are doing in my pool?!!"
