So I thought I would write about my life update. There has been a lot of change in our lives in the past couple of weeks.
I would like to start by saying I love being a stay at home mother to my children but it has been time for a change. I have graduated UMA with a diploma in medical billing and coding, and I'm currently finishing my associate's degree for medical billing and coding. I currently started a new job as a insurance verification specialist which I love doing. I enjoy the girls that I work with. I work M-F and have weekends off plus amazing benefits. I'm very happy I have a job that I love to do.
My career service advisor is the one who set up the interview and it went very well. It took about three days later, and the lady from HR called me and set up my 2nd interview. I knew there would be a background check which made me a little nervous because of a stupid choice I made when I was younger that still shows on my background. I decided to be up front and honest with her and I told her what might show up. I also told her that I wasn't gonna let my background get in the way of me getting my dream career.
Once the interview was over, I felt pretty good about being honest and just letting her know that my past is my past and I'm not gonna let it define the person I am today. I am a changed person, a mother and wife. I'm not gonna let a mistake on my background hold me back. The HR lady had called me the next day saying they were gonna bring me into training. I wanted to cry I was so excited.
This job is a true blessing to not only myself but for my family as well. We are going through some hard stuff right now, but I know we will make it and be okay. It's not the first time we have been in this boat. I think that's about all I wanted to touch base on for this writing. I will write again soon I hope.
