...and i am about to go to my 5th day of training. for those who don't know i got a job as a unit counselor at the heritage schools which is a residential psychiatric treatment center for adolescents. the training has been pretty intense, and it's made me realize how much i want to stick with psychology. i'm taking a break from school, but we'll see what happens. being around these kids makes you notice how small your problems are. they are there involuntarily and have had so many struggles in their lives, but they can still have fun and smile. i am working on a unit of 9 girls ages 14-17 and i absolutely love them. i enjoy going to work and being around them. we'll be going over their case studies today to see where they've been in life to help us better understand and help. it will be a huge eye opener, and i'm actually a little nervous. i can't wait to better myself and make a difference in their lives at the same time. it'll be a wonderful experience.
