Soooo Who Is Jasmin Anderson?

I would first and foremost like to be known as someone who stays true to their word, and does exactly what they say they will do.

I am the wrong one (or right one depending upon how you look at it) to tell me I “can’t” do something…if its something I truly want to do, no one or no thing will stop me!

I am a Christian mother, and I work hard to ensure that I am involved and play a active positive role in my 6year old daughters life. It made me smile when my daughter told her classmates and teacher at school that she was going to work on the computer like her mother, when all the other kids said they wanted to be doctors, nurses, policemen or firemen. Nothing against those professions at all, God bless ‘em. We need them. But for my child to know at a very young age she doesn’t have to work for someone else, that she can take her future into her own hands and truly enjoy life. That’s very precious and powerful to me.

My daughter tracks and understands that I am growing daily in this internet marketing business. I have been online for a year or so now, and she’s watched me go from ground zero not knowing ANYTHING, struggling reading and trying almost everything under the sun, to having success, and asking me daily when I pick her up from school “Did you make alot of money today?”

I try to top everyday too, but if I don’t, she and I both know that its due to my own efforts, and not because of what someone else has decided I was worth for that day. How many people working in a job setting (excluding sales positions) can say they make more money the following day than the previous one? Far and few.

If you want to know who Jasmin Anderson is, know that I am a teacher, a giver, an informant. I crave knowledge, and pray for understanding. I understand that you only get one life to live and I am going to live it to its fullest.

I can recall when I was approximately 5 or 6years old, sitting on my grandfathers lap (Rest In Peace James A. Pierce) who was a retired architect and had traveled the world. I mean his basement was his trophy. All along the walls were nothing but pictures of buildings he had worked on and places he had traveled all over the world. And I remember looking up to him while sitting on his knee asking him various states and countries had he been too. I remember asking “North Carolina? Florida? California? China? Japan? Korea?” Thinking I could stump him, lol, and every answer would come back “Yes, I was there…” and a story would come to follow. At the close I remember saying to my grandfather “Wow, you’ve been to all the 50 states huh?” It seemed so remarkable to me. And I remember saying to my grandfather “I want to do that too.” And of course he reassured me that I could long as I set my mind to doing it, only person that could stop me is me! And I say all that to say this, I have been to almost ALL the states in this country, with the exception of Alaska, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. And since I have moved to the West Coast now (Las Vegas, NV) I will knock those places out this upcoming summer. I’m sorry but that makes me proud, and almost brings a tear to my eye because that was a childhood dream of mine that is coming true. I grew up in a small city called Wilmington, and in a small state called Delaware. But I never had a small frame of mind. I knew there was more to life that what Delaware had to offer, and every chance I get I express that to folks back home. I know lots of people from my hometown who are proud they have never left the city limits of Wilmington, and here I’ve traveled up and down the east coast, used to drive from Atlanta to Chicago almost every other week, and have drove cross country twice. I say to those of you who don’t get out and travel, please do! I wish my grandfather was alive today to swap stories with me on the places I have been, people I have met, and the culture shocks I have experienced.

I was never a rude and ignorant person, but I see where people are so short with foreigners here struggling to get their English out, and I have such a knew found respect for what they go through, and I am very sympathetic. I traveled to Japan for a number of weeks, and although I studied the language some before going, it is nothing like the real thing. I went for a research co-op I was doing, and the folks at the University (Tohuku University) spoke English very well, but the people in the streets and in the stores oooh buddy, not so much. And one of the hardest things to do, when you can’t explain yourself well, is to try and speak another language and you don’t know what or how to say it. Its extremely frustrating, lol. So next time someone is trying to explain themselves to you, and you feel like “Oh, they should be able to speak english…” Remember that one, English THE hardest language to learn, and two, put yourself in their shoes, and think of how you would feel if you were trying to get your point across to someone and you couldn’t speak their language.

For anyone interested in learning another language, there is a website which is pretty cool called Live Mocha at http://www.livemocha.com which teaches you different languages for FREE!!! They even track your progress and you can practice speaking and writing that language with someone who speaks it fluently so you can learn the real deal.

But my whole world is about living and experiencing life. Which is why I chose the primary business I am involved in, which is travel. I heard someone say that “Life is like a book, and if you don’t travel its like reading only one page.”

Travel, its therapeutic…
