Choices
Choice 1
Face it or Deny it
OR
When you refuse to change, you end up in chains.
Do not end up like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set.
Choice 2
Get counseling or suffer as a victim OR don't consume your tomorrows feeding on your yesterdays
OR
Today is the day to decide to go through what you've been going through.
Some of us stay in the same hopeless situation and "We wear it well." Never making a firm decision to make change.
Choice 3
Forgive or become a prisoner to bitterness
Bitter or Better. You can be in Who's who versus asking "why me?"
You know, some of us had some pretty rotten t hings done to us. Those perpetrators, those individuals that hurt us may not deserve forgiveness.
Forgiveness is not for the person, forgiveness is for YOU.
Choice 4
Go with your life or become stagnated.
The best time to being is NOW.

We all have choices in our life. It is up to us to decide how to react to the situations we are put in. Life can change in a second. We can die tomorrow so live for the day. Let the people you love know it, see it, and feel it. Don't waste your life away and wait until it's too late.

Chapter 1 Paper- Intro to practicum
Everyone has reasons or motives for most of their decisions. This holds true in choosing a career path as well. People can choose and aspire to be a wielder, a math teacher, a librarian, a musician, a nurse, a social worker, the list goes on. These motivates can include but aren't limited to talent, interest, and personal reasons.
I choose to be in the helping profession my junior year. I was talking about possible careers with my mom in the kitchen and she brought up counseling. I talked to my school counselor and she agreed, I would be a good counselor. She said that I empathized with the fellow people in our stress group very well and I seemed to always be able to understand their situation and feelings. I never told them what to do exactly but I was able to provide suggestions and/or questions to help them. I feel as though I work well with people and I can usually put myself in their shoes and empathize with their situation.
I'm extremely interested in this field. I love talking to people about what is going on in their life and discussion the obstacles they have overcome. I enjoy learning different perspectives on life and how people process different events. I love learning about people.
Personally I love helping people whether it's big or small. I frequently let people know that they can call me at any hour if they need help with anything. I love being there when someone needs something. I've realized most of this stems from my childhood. I know what it's like to feel as though no one is there and to not have a solid support system. I don't wish that upon anyone and I try to lend a hand whenever possible. I also had a less than helpful social worker. I didn't feel as though I was being heard or that what was going on was important. I want people especially kids to feel like they do matter and their is hope for their future even if it doesn't seem that way now.
My main personal characteristic that I posses is I am generally caring. I care about people as a whole whether it be an old or new friend or someone I might not even really like. I still care. I'm a very caring individual. I also seem to understand most people to some point. No one can completely understand a given situation but empathy can be used. I am great at empathizing with people. I feel as though these are two very important characteristics to posses in the helping professional.
The most important work value to me is that my vocation fits my interests which goes hand in hand with the opportunity to serve people. As I said, I simply love being able to help people. A smile can make a work of difference or simply holding the door open for someone. Little things matter and I try to do things to improve people's day. Next would be inner harmony. I feel as though this aspect is important because if a person is chaotic inside and harmony is destroyed then those aspects will effect how every situation is handle. It makes people less rational than they would normally be if there was inner peace/harmony. The last work value would be job security. I would like to feel secure in my practice and know that I will be able to provide and support myself and in the future my family. Money isn't the most important aspect of life but it is needed to survive in today's society.

Broken Promises
I'm letting go you see
there isn't a point really
to hold on to what used to be
when it's so clear you let go of me
I held on to the last strands
I offered every possible helping hand
It's never seemed good enough for you
I guess our friendship was never enough too
I did the best I could
I did everything I thought I should
I didn't walk away from this
I didn't break those promises
I don't think I'll ever understand
how you just let go of my hand
and never looked back
never tried to get on track
I probably should have realized
That you would never legitimately try
I think deep down I knew
but I wouldn't be another person to give up on you
I'm letting go now
I figure I can break this vow
You already beat me to it though
Because it's always been you who let go.

Dum Da Da 3Js
Junk: My physical fitness. My body hurts so much. Mainly it's just my neck right now. I am not a runner, not yet anyway. I have also dealt with some of the most idiotic people this past week. It's frustrating. Some people never learn.
Joy: I had so much joy. Rugby went really well. We won 59-5. I was given feedback and told I did pretty well and I was always aggressive and in the middle of what was going on. That made me feel so much better. I didn't feel like I did much. I ran the ball a few times and such but I wasn't completely sure on what was going on the whole time or where I should be. We hardly ever have the entire team at one practice and some things you can't learn without at least the whole team. We have our next game in KC against KU.
I was able to hangout with some of my most amazing friends this weekend as well. We ended up only having on game so I made it to Stations of the Cross. I hung out with Kristen and Nicole for the most part. It was great. We chilled in the hammock. At one point in the night Kristen and I got lost in the woods. It was kinda scary but if I had to be lost with anyone I'm glad it was her. We eventually found our way back out. Sunday I was able to hang out with Steph after youth group. Somehow she always gets scared. We were sitting int he car and I moved my foot and it made a funny noise and she about freaked out. Too funny. It was an awesome weekend
Jesus: We had youth this weekend at St. Sabina. The topic of the night was symbols for God. We discussed what color reminds us of God and what symbol. Then we made either that symbol or another one out of clay. Mine was a butterfly. It doesn't look too shabby considering I've had only one art class since 6th grade.
Scc was a big part of my week too. This week I talked about my mother. Brooke was in Florida so Kirstie was the only one who knew about that part of my life. I can talk about it I just don't really enjoy it. It was a good night. We all shared a lot.
