session upon selecting Quinnipiac helped me redefine myself to fulfill my personal goals without the judgement of others. I learned that I can be anyone I set myself out to be and it does not matter what other people think because I am unbranded. However, it wasn’t until later into the fall semester when my want to become an Orientation Leader was enriched. Dealing with being uncomfortable in this new environment and worries about my family at home left me flustered and confused. I felt alone…

When a conflict would come up the first thing we, as a family,…

everyone telling me to RELAX. Are you kidding me?! The good news is that I recovered quickly. I had emergency brain surgery Tuesday morning, woke up and had a burger by Thursday night, and left the hospital the next Monday. As a high school swimmer I trained five days a week and my body was in great physical shape. And my brain seemed to bounce back too; one of the the first things I did in the hospital was pick up a book to read. I was a walking miracle; my body…

is a leader in their own way, I lead from my courage and bravery. I believe that a person needs to solely depend on themselves when it comes to decision making. I know that there are people who need the help of others, but a choice is always personal.

My bravery shows when a task is asked upon my peers and myself, and I stand up first. Among my friends, I am…

when on of the moms used to always thank me for watching her little son Elijah. She was so kind to me, she did not have to be kind. She was going through a lot, and she took her time to be kind and have conversations with me. I have not seen her for a long time, but I remember her appreciation. Another one of my favorite parts of my service is seeing the moms at church. A lot of them recognize me and thank me. Some of the kids recognize me and smile at me, which is thanks enough for…

FORGIVING OURSELVES I know more people who have had trouble with this than I can name. This is one of the issues that people I have worked with in recovery have shared with me, “how do I forgive myself for what I have done”? That is a great question and not an easy one to answer. I have an old friend, an elderly gentleman. He always keeps it simple and says “if you want to feel good, do good” so one of the ways we can start to feel better about ourselves is to begin to perpetuate good things…

in a general sense. During the second quarter I took an Art Studio class, which helped me to understand more about the art therapy aspect of trauma treatment. In the future, I plan to take Psychology classes to create more understanding behind the types of patients and individuals that I may encounter at my future clinic. In talking to my academic adviser, I have been told of the various pathways that can help me in reaching my goal of helping trauma patients. By majoring in fields like…

that it entails. As a current social work student and a professional working with clients in the social work and mental health field I must conduct myself accordingly. The reason why is because I have guidelines to adhere to and clients that depend on me to represent them for their social needs. I feel that I am growing professionally in the social work field.
