Why Social work? simple it was a short cut to many years of psychology classes and let's face it, is basically the same as psychology but in my opinion the work we do is more in depth. I always knew that I wanted to help others and I knew this since I was a little girl, I was privileged to have a very comfortable upbringing however I was surrounded by others who were not so fortunate and that always puzzled me. In my family I was always the one with the better clothes, toys well better everything but that made me feel bad, I felt guilty for having those things!. I had friends whose house was so small that m bedroom looked like a mansion in comparison however I loved being in their house because it was full of love, my house was big but empty. As a little child I questioned my surroundings and felt many times out of place, I did not want to look better than my poor friends and when I was with the rich ones I felt like I didnt want to stand out and guess what? as an adult I still feel the same most of the time, not wanting to stand out and wanting to go unnoticed however it does not happen at times and I am learning to be okay with that.
Why am I starting this with this story? because I feel that my early childhood experiences in combination with my adult ones shaped who and what I wanted to become in life, fate ( I believe) guided me to meet the right people at the right time to make me realize my path and now I'm on it however I have more questions than answers in regards to my profession and writing this blog will allow me to process it all.
I love working with people however once I leave the office I crave solitude but that is not an option in my life since I am surrounded by my kids and fiancee so solitude exist in my mind and now here somehow. will continue to share more, there is so much I want to share however this is just the beginning and everything will unfold as it should.!!!!!!!!!!!
