    I just have to clear this up, and then I promise, nada, nothing, no
    more about what happened with the apprenticeship. I am trying to move
    on the best I can. 

    The reason I dont just walk in there and get it is complicated with
    Voc Rehab being involved. If I want to continue to get any actual
    help from them, I need to heed their advice right now. Some how I
    hope, but dont really expect, that there is another opportunity for
    me out there. Whether its in jewelry or not at this time I dont
    know, and I really dont care, cause I just cant trust them. Like my
    Dad said, First time , shame on them, second time, shame on me. Well
    this will be the third time in the last couple years, I dont need to
    keep the cycle going. I just want to be able to become self
    sufficient again, a roll model for my kids and have a little self
    pride and respect again. Ive learned that either I was numb to it, or
    maybe people have become a lot more greedy and self centered since I
    was last in the work force and in the world. No matter what it is, I
    cant change them, but I can change me. I love making jewelry, I love
    gemology, I find a lot of peace and satisfaction making jewelry and
    making others happy with it. I guess that can be a bad thing these
    days for money driven circumstances. I can still do jewelry as a
    hobby, I need to find something I can do as a job, and not let
    myself be blindly used again. I may need the help of Voc Rehab for
    that, and I dont want to burn that bridge.
