Well last week I began my last year of college before I receive my associate’s degree in Social Work. While my first week was overwhelming in more ways than one, I am truly happy. For the past few years people have been telling me about my passion for children and helping others, and I have just brushed them off for the most part, you know…Like okay yeah thanks for that observation.
But I think that I have gotten confirmation that Social Work is truly my life’s purpose. Both of my classes are taught by the same professor, so last Tuesday I shared my concerns with her. She listened attentively and when I was finished talking, she looked into my eyes with the most sincere look in her eyes and told me that I had nothing to worry about because she could tell that this was in my heart. That I would be fine because I have so much passion for this type of work…
I was absolutely floored, I mean I was speechless and if you know me personally you would know that is damn near impossible. I was filled with so much emotion I had no idea what to say, think, feel…But it just reaffirmed for me that this is my purpose while here on earth.
I hope that in my time as a giver and helper, I can change just ONE persons life. Make them realize how valuable their life is, the life of their children, their family, just everything about them…
I am so happy to be on this journey. My life has had its pitfalls and I know I will have many more before I leave this earth but knowing that what I choose to do can help someone other than my family makes me truly happy inside…
I am also toying with the idea of getting a helper/giver tat too…So look out for future blogs about that…
