I Need a Job

I started my job search this week. I found a nice position that I can do, but I'm stuck because I need references. I asked my mom if I can use an old high school teacher as a professional reference, and she said it could work since I was his TA for a while. Since I'm Facebook friends with him now, I sent him a Facebook message asking if I could add him as a reference. I even mentioned how I don't have many people I can add as references. He just messaged me back with his contact information so I could add him. I'm crying tears of joy right now! This whole process has been stressful and I've barely started. I'm really happy this is going well for me. Now I just need my mom to give me contact information for 2 of her friends so I can use them as my other references, and after she checks my resume one more time, I think I'll be good to send in my first application!
