This semester I am at a new agency in Hampton, Virginia called Together Lives Change (TLC). My initial impression of the agency is that it is a good fit for me. The staff is very professional and they are doing great things within the community. Today we talked about the agency’s expectations and the dress code in depth. The agency’s expectations are realistic and straight forward and I can really appreciate how the agency have structured their internship program. The information I received…

what I think makes me even more ready for this new chapter, college will be clean slate.

In 2011, Statistics Canada reported that in Alberta, 5,500 children were in foster care, 1,145 of these children were aged 14-19 (Statistics Canada, 2011).

I would like to say that I am as responsible and courageous as Peter, but I am not nearly as direct or charismatic. In some way, I can say I am rational and caring like Susan, yet I trust my intuition over reason.

For the interview process, the two people that I interviewed were Martha Millison and Cecilia Rivas. Martha Millison is a school counselor at Green-Wood Charter School in Philadelphia and Cecilia Rivas is a CUA chief management supervisor.
