I was the first to get up and shower being that I didn't drink last night. The mood was killed for me yesterday but not through fault of Stephanies. She's been like a sister to me and I am grateful for her. Just seeing how loving her family is to her made me realize how unloved I'm really am. People really take for granted of what they have when there's people like me that don't even have half of what they have. We are supposed to be seeing this apartment today she has it all set up. I put on a burgundy pants with matching blazer. I wore a light purple blouse under. I have some interviews set up this morning. Stephanie promised to take me to all three.

I had some time while Stephanie is in the shower to dazzle up my resume. I print out a few copies my resume and put my USB drive in my briefcase along with my laptop. If college taught me anything it taught me to be prepared for anything.

"Damn girl! You clean up nice!" I hear from the bathroom.

I turn around and Stephanie was in her robe wrapping her hair in a towel. I blush brushing my hair into a tight ponytail.

"Why don't you let your hair down, you have such pretty curly hair that is so lucious?" She suggests

"I was thinking that but I don't want to risk being discriminated against based on my hair." I respond. "Now would you hurry up please I don't want to be late."

"Girl you're not going to be late."

I go downstairs to wait on her. My phone rings and it's an unfamiliar number I answer it in my most professional voice. It was a job that I have applied when before graduation. "Yes I can be there. Thank you."

Mrs. Jameson walks downstairs in a robe, "Good morning Malita. You look very nice."

"Thank you I have a few interviews today." I sit down on the kitchen stool.

"A woman dresses up for success. You're going to do good in your interviews Malita." Mr. Jameson

"Thank you."

Stephanie comes downstairs fully dressed and we head out. I get in the passenger of her new car. "I can't believe you really got this car."

"I can't believe it either. It's crazy. So how many in interviews do you have?" She backs out the driveway.

"Two. Oh, Beyond Inc. called me and I have an interview with them Friday." I am so happy about this interview. This is the job I have wanted since senior year. I have been preparing myself for this job. I have worked since high school so I already have a lot of experience. "What about you? Have you been filling out applications?"
