This were skills that I began to hone over the course of working for a variety of nonprofits that I found were built into the social work curriculum in this school. I would see many instances in which the art of communication became fundamental in my work in the health system and realized then, that I had made the right decision in applying to the social work school. Fear and uncertainty before starting school had me abstain from applying initially to the dual program and because of this I decided in my first semester I gave myself an ultimatum. I took two public health courses as electives and depending on how I did I would make the decision to apply, as I had desired many years before, but allowed uncertainty and fear of rejection to decide for me until then. I successfully completed the courses and a few months later was accepted into the dual program in which I am currently a graduate student in both Social Work and Public Health and will graduate in December
