How I did it
It made me
excited to serve! 
How I did it: It wasn't complicated. I bought the booklet, tuned out the distractions, completed the survey, and tallied to find the gifts that are likely mine .... turns out it's the same was when i assessed more than a decade ago when i was just starting college, but i wanted to reassess now that i'm out of college and dealing in the world of the grown-ups :) Read how I did it…
It made me
feel relief.
How I did it: I slimmed down shopping and only picked up absolute necessities to make big payments to the plastic. Really, that's it. Every payday i put as much as i didn't have to have for other things. I just focuses on one card at a time until it was done, beginning with the cards with the highest interest rate. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel patriotic.
How I did it: I hopped online to looked up timelines, filled out the app, and mailed it in. They mailed it to where i was staying. I filled in the absentee, dropped it in the mail, and .... mission accomplished! Read how I did it…
