Guilty, Neglectful Blogger Here.
I've been a terrible blogger the last few months. That's probably a generous amount of time, more like the last 4-5 months. After attending my orientation last week at Cal State Dominguez Hills I can no longer use the "I'm too busy" excuse. A professor(forgot her name, must work on this) was giving us her pitch on why we should be involved and join the GSW(campus chapter for social work). She made a compelling argument that we're busy right now, and when we start school we will busy even more busy and when we finish our masters program we will be busy working or looking for work and after that we will be busy as well. Thus, we're always going to be busy but we can manage to take some time out of our routine and dedicate it to the GSW. Didn't join the club just yet but I purchased a well designed shirt as recompense.
A whole new chapter in my life awaits me and I feel as if I'm ending one next week. I'll be working part time as a behavior specialist but I presume I will depart after the fall semester. Either that, or they will terminate me for shortening my schedule and not being "flexible" enough.
I'm currently worn out from working this job but I don't regret joining the ranks. I've had the opportunity to interact with many families and their children on a level that I never anticipated. There are some clients I will be happily departing from and others that I will miss dearly. I've had growth on a professional this year. I went in knowing nothing from this field but with an open mind and now I feel capable. It's not over yet but I feel accomplished at this point.
I'm taking this post as an opportunity to declare my intent to document my experiences and feelings during the next two years. I'm entering my MSW program at Cal State Dominguez Hills as an eager and engaged student that wants to make a positive impact in the community. Hopefully I finish this program with the tools to do so.
In the mean time, back to work for me. I've got a client that requires my attention.
