Hi ya'll Ashley McKeage here. I just finished my video application. It was the first time I learned how to use my laptop video camera. I can't believe that I've had it for two years and NEVER used it! Now that I know how there's no stopping me now! A little tid-bit about me, I'm currently taking this semester off and working as a waitress at a local restuarant. One GREAT thing about being a waitress is I'm use to interacting with all kinds of different people and I am having to sell not only food, but also myself every single shift (you can't sell anything, unless you can first sell yourself!). I will be a junior a Charleston Southern University coming this Fall continuing minoring in Science and majoring in Business.

Isn't it funny that in today's soceity, especially in young adults, how no one recognizes the value of change. That little jinggle, janggle in your pocket or the bottom of your purse. Why is that so? Ever noticed how your subtotal could be 89 cents, but instead of counting out change you give a dollar bill, and throw the change left from that back in your pocket or handbag??? I LOVE CHANGE! You can do simple little things to help save money. Example: every penny, nickel, dime or quarter you find or have, start putting in a jar or ladies a decorative glass. Just try it! Do it for only two months, then drive to your local  "Coinstar" or bank and count your change. It's instant cash that you made without really having to lift a finger! I always save my change and when I go cash it in its 20, 30, even sometimes 50 dollars INSTANTLY!! Now something that easy you can't ignore! Make a "CHANGE" and save your "CHANGE" starting today!
