Burr… The fall season I fear, is becoming more and colder. With every passing night I feel the cold weather taking hold. Now there is frost on the wind shields on the morning when going to start your car, and you can see your breath escaping from your mouth with every exhale. I knew for certain that the season would be changing and yet, I had no idea that it would be this soon. It feels just like yesterday that I was wearing shorts and swimming in our pool, and now I have to pick which sweatshirt I will wear the next morning.

Ahh the simple things in life. I know that many of us take for granted the weather changes, but for some reason take a huge sigh of disbelief whenever there is a change in season. I just can’t believe that time has been flying so fast lately. I wish sometimes time could just slow down a bit, just enough time for more family gatherings and time being spent with friends. Although fall may be coming to an end I know that with it follows more holidays and memories to be made.

I wish all of you a happy thanksgiving! I hope that you will go and be with your loved ones and enjoy your time with them as I do with mine. I truly am blessed and would have no idea how to make it through without the ones I love and adore. Don’t forget to give thanks for family and friends and your health. Ti’s the season to give thanks for everything around you! I hope those of you who travel a safe and most memorable trip!

Social Worker:

http://www.helpstartshere.org/Assets/Images/socialWorkImageDisc.jpg

I plan on becoming a social worker. I have to decide on what field exactly, I just know I want to make a difference. Many of you know (English 102 classes) that I am very with held and inaudible, and yet, I can open up and talk with others on a more personal level. I have done volunteer work out in Ferndale, helping with kids and families. I enjoyed that very much. In my paper I want to explore what it is like to go through what a social worker has to go through on a daily basis. My research paper will discuss how kids are affected by social services and whether or not it makes a positive or negative experience in their lives. That will be my main focus seeing as how I have not yet made a decision on what field I would like to make my career.

You see so many negative aspects on how social workers allow there kids to “fall through the cracks!” I just want to be able to help out in any field I plan on making my career. I want my research to be able to show that statistics behind how many cases are actually solved and to depict the lives that have in deed been saved. Although, many cases due get neglected and end up being tossed aside, I want to be able to be one of the ones that actually have something to show for at the end of everyday. I just want to gain more knowledge on the subject for myself by providing as much information as I possibly can on my future career.
