GoodBye to the Job Search and to Myspace Hello School

I'm very excited to go back to school. The next few years are going to be very different then my previous life. I figured since I couldn't get a job, and couldn't survive the next best thing was to go to school, to get that paper that says "Hey, I have a bachelors degree or I'm working on my Masters". Through research I found that there are a few GLBT and Transsexual Scholarships that I hope to have for next year, but in the mean time its a way to still be very poor but enough to cover school and rent. However, I'm still going to have to have some sort of supplementary income to survive and hopefully put away for the surgery that I want to have. My plastic surgeon is here in Arizona, his name is DR Toby Meltzer, and I hope that I can raise enough money very soon to have the surgery I feel that I need.

Also what I found out about Tucson, is that this is also a very accepting city for Trans gender individuals and the conference of IFGE is held here. So by total coincidence I ended up right where I needed to be, I had no idea of all this before I moved here, actually I didn't even know the city but a few drives I have taken here on trips across country a long time ago.


I'm officially going to be off Myspace on 8-8-08. Being the first Transsexual on there and superstar at some points on that site, I found myself in the last few years consumed with MYSPACE. I devoted countless hours everyday on my computer and when I wasn't on my computer I was on my sidekick on myspace. I guess you could say I'm addicted, but really it just consumed my life. I realized how many things I can get done if I just leave for a while and seek a new purpose. After all, Myspace has grown so much that the status that I use to have on that site the first two years it was online is coming to time for new individuals - not that its out with the old and in with the new, I just feel its time to walk away from the spot life I have been on there. I have helped people through that site, with my blogs, my personal believes and inspired many, and answered questions to those that were seeking guidance and also met a ton of people that changed my life and also changed theirs.
I have to admit, I'm going to miss it like hell, but I know I'm doing it for the right reasons.

And I'm sure there is more to come from Mercedez, after all, everything I've been though and the tragedy's, heartaches, travels and somehow making it to just survive another day, this Phoenix will rise again, but in a new light, one that will give me more stability and self worth in my eyes.
