    Breakups are so hard especially when you've been together for a while. I admire you for applying to nursing school while juggling many other things that can be taxing both mentally and physically. Here's to an awesome 2021 Michelle! You're gonna rock it!

      Hi there! So I was able to get my job through a hospital volunteer program that I'm currently doing. The parent company of my program hired me and is contracting out to a university in Texas, which is administering the vaccine. Your best bet would probably be to look up job listings of remote vaccination opportunities online. I'm sure there are a lot more! I wish you the best of luck. 😊

    • @MichelleAlacon
      @MichelleAlacon  3 роки тому +1

      The leasing agent provides you with the application (in the form of a link or paper forms) after the showing! Or you can just ask them for the application without a showing (but I highly recommend seeing any place you're considering first). And the $10,000 was the most money I could afford to put down. If you have a great credit score and well-established income, you probably won't need as much. I just knew I needed to put a big number down because my income source was relatively new.

      Hah that's not quite how I would put it. By no means were either of us "over" the relationship at that point, we just recognized that breaking up created an opportunity for both of us to grow while apart from each other (for the first time in a very long time). 😊
