My Experience At Northeastern Kingdom Learning Services

I have been at my site for about seven almost eight weeks now and I cannot believe we are already half way done with the semester. It has been a great journey thus far and I hope to learn more in the second half of my journey. Since this is my half way point I want to mention that everything seems to be so much more comfortable, but not necessarily easier yet. I think being a good counselor takes many years and much more reflection on a daily basis. I also feel like I am learning new things every day as a trainee and that I am working on what it really means to be a counselor each day. Finding my identity as a counselor is a big part of this process and I feel as though it is always changing and transforming into a better self each day. I like

Coming to TWU (Texas Woman’s University) this fall for college was a good decision on my part. Not only are the staff and faculty helpful but they are also there when you need them. When I came on move in day I learned that my LLC (Living Learning Community) had a PA (Peer Advisor) and an RA (Resident Assistant). Rachel (the PA) was and is always there when I need her and had never let me down, and even though it is her job as a PA you can tell that she really does enjoy what she does and likes helping others.

We need to start thinking of our students as sentient beings capable of an incredibly diverse spectrum of individuality, rather than yet another cog in a never ending machine. For years, we have been oppressed by desires of others, as well as their established social norms. We have become slaves to the way we perceive our society to work, That we must complete work by deadlines, that we must become another's idea of a human being. This world has been established that most all people must complete tasks they never wanted to do. However, it has become that the younger generation of the population has taken much of this obligation. For each day for a student is begun before even the sun chooses to rise, Then, leads to eight hours in an establishment created of dark brick, promising years of pain and suffering through massive workloads of things that may have been intriguing, had they not been presented in such a dull and uninteresting manner. Once this task has been completed, we return to their home where hours of chores and homework await them. Then, each night, they climb into bed, each day bearing more difficultly than the last. This cycle continues for years, the only escape from this cycle being graduating from another brick establishment that has taken all money that one could ever hope to have, and attempting to find a job that might be what you want to do. It is time that we break out of this miserable cycle. This life was meant to be enjoyed by all and to be enjoyed to the fullest. This idea has been broken and shattered beyond recognition, but it still remains. The idea that we can be exactly who we want to be, without having to sell our souls to do so still lingers on, shining, yet unattainable just as a star. We simply must be the glue that binds the broken pieces of this

The sweet atmosphere of the SFEFCU Kendall branch makes working for them a pleasure. I met all the other 12 interns and we instantly became best friends. The first three days are amazing. I feel so intellectual knowing how a credit union is ran and knowing I’ll be able to do hands on work by next week. Except it isn’t at the Kendall branch but Homestead, my surprise placement I didn’t even know existed. I was so confused that I requested to switch to Kendall, not much of a change was possible but I would be able to spend two days at

I want to pursue a career in Human Services because this is where my calling is. When graduation got closer and closer teachers, staff, and students asked “Where are you going from here? What is the overall goal?” I told them that I was going to Cazenovia College to study Human Services and that my overall goal was to become a medical Social Worker in a hospital and be placed on cases with children. Once I told them this they all said I was going in the right direction and that I would be perfect for the job. I believe I can do this job and be successful because my childhood life and financial situation, being assaulted, and all the community service I have completed and awards I have received

So all I can say till graduation, I met outstanding people. And helping a lot of people. Plus, even though I didn't have many chances to go and help. It's better to do as much as you can be

At the beginning of this school year, I began to realize something. I realized that my high school years were coming to an end. This was an eye opener for me. I didn't know what to expect of my last year nor what I wanted to do after high school. I then began looking for a job. So I applied to Chick-fil-a. I waited patiently several weeks for a call, but received no call whatsoever. I patiently waited for a new opportunity to come along. Until finally, I was given an opportunity at an electrical shop. On the first day of work I was introduced to the staff and learned the procedures of what needed to be done. My job now was to maintain the shop clean and to keep all materials organized as well as other tasks that helped me grow with my skills.

students called it, I still didn't live up to my full potential. I didn't really want to be there at all in typical

Seven years is not a short nor a long period of time, but it is long enough for me to discover who I am and what I enjoy doing. I enjoy going to school and studying something new. I enjoy meeting with people and making connection. I also enjoy seeing people around me happy when I help them going through their struggles. And I also enjoy interacting the with community. Hence, I involved with quite a lot of activities since I was a freshman in high school. I volunteered at MESA, Key club, public libraries, American Corps, UC Davis Medical Center, and many more. However, when I started my second year at community college, I quit volunteering due not having time for study and family. I am currently working and going to school at the same time. I work as a student help at the student support center at CRC to earn some additional income to pay for my transportation, pay of the family bills, and save some money for future education. I was little upset because I did not get to volunteer at the places that love to go to. Nevertheless, I have gained some experiment through this job. It helps to conquer my weaknesses. For example, I get to develop my communication skill since I meet and talk to different students most of the days; different student has different personality, some have hot temper and some are introverted. I have a chance to learn how to talk to them. This is an important skill that I need in

I have learned a great many things from being in the Practicum of Human Services. It has changed my entire outlook on and my attitude toward my life. Before my senior year at Irving High School, I was shy, had low self-esteem, and avoided seemingly impossible challenges. This class has altered all of my worst qualities. On the first day helping the L.I.F.E. skills kids, I was afraid because I was clumsy and socially awkward. These qualities have not gone away, but I do not let them disable me. The fact of the matter is, I was not really open to this new challenge at first. I did not want to be the one at fault if something went wrong. I did not want the responsibility because I was too afraid of making a mistake. All the while, this became

I commend you for working as a site supervisor for young children. I have worked on a volunteer basis for 11 years for a summer camp planning activities, and counseling children ages of 8-18. Planning activities can be a real daunting task, you must make sure you keep the children busy, and that can be pretty tuff at times. I see you want to be an Admissions Counselor in the future, I have done this as part of my position as a Nursing Coordinator, it is rewarding and fun at times, but also can be a difficult challenging position. The position requires someone that has a true passion for helping others change their lives.

As much as I enjoyed my work there, it further solidified my want to continue my education, in hopes that I could one day ensure that all those questions are not only being asked

Upon first glance, my new school did not seem like much of a fit for me. Everyone seemed to like it, but I was having trouble fitting into the daily grind of a school that required much more effort and attention than I was ever used to. I did my best to keep up with everyone else, but this was hard for me, seeing as I was used to being one of the

When I graduated from high school, I was admitted at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I enrolled in the School of Business. My major was Accounting. I did so to please my parents and what I thought would be the best fit. I was not very happy, and I must confess that I was bored to death. After two years of studying something that I did not like, I changed my focus to School of Social Work. I was taking elective classes in Social Work/Mental Health Counseling and realize that this field held my interest and really represented how I viewed myself and the world. I was out from College for 5 years. Working with the Department of Social Services and numerous nonprofit organizations. For the last 5 years I have been working as a Social Worker for Department of Social Service Child Protective Service Investigator. I actual love my job because it is customer (client) oriented and I got to practice my counseling skills indirectly and directly with my clients I encounter on an daily
