    Hello Dr. Aaron Oberman and fellow classmates. I’m excited to be taken this course because I’m almost at the finish line of completing my degree. I have been working in social services for almost 15 years helping adults meeting their needs while aiming at becoming self-sufficient. I enjoy my job, but I’m burned out, meaning my job no longer brings me the same satisfactions as it did 15 years ago. I reevaluated my life giving consideration to my age, family and happiness and decided it was time for a career change. As an undergrad student, I recall an instructor telling us in life most people will have a job and a career. Social Services is currently my job and school counseling will be my career. With age I have learned helping others…

    Benjamin Franklin once said, ‘without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning’. I wholeheartedly agree with him; it would be meaningless to continue on a path that does not yield any positive change. This experience is one I can describe as worthwhile. I have observed tremendous growth in multiple areas. I have attained a level of confidence that I never thought possible, as the time elapse I realize that my passion for helping has only evolved. I admit it is challenging having to get up every morning unaware of what to expect, sometimes eager to start the day but more often than not feeling weary. Fortunately, I understand that life isn’t always bright and sunny, in fact, it has been…
