After 3 1/2 years with Lowe's, I received my first promotion this week. I am now the Lead Merchandising Specialist for the Lumber division of the company. I will continue to work directly with Outdoor Storage and will share a second category (Plywood) with another MS. I'm very excited at the opportunity and hope that it will lead to other opportunities in the near future.
Just as exciting, one of my Circle leaders got a promotion at his new job. It took him three weeks to get a promotion, and it took me three years, so maybe I need to take advice from him. I'm so excited for him and his family. He's such a hard worker and is extremely devoted to his family, so I'm very happy for him. The company he works for is also going to pay for him to go back to school to get his welding certification.
Three weeks ago, he and his family were going through a really rough time, and he was talking about giving up on the Circles program. He stuck with it and kept his faith, and now things are going great! We all know the road out of poverty is a bumpy one, and he and his family will still see good times and bad times, but as long as they keep their eyes on the prize, the good times will come more often and last much longer.
