Everyone comes to find out things on their own will and good timing. So, it's not that I haven't been ready to figure these things out. Apparently at 20 I'm needing to know these things. Opening my eyes and mind to the world is a blessing and a talent the Lord has given me. A lot of people get talents that are tangible. But, I feel like my talents that he's given me aren't tangible.
Our country is a 3rd world country. Take off your "western-lense" as my professors, colleagues and I alike call it. We have the same problems countries that are considered 3rd world do. We just think we as American's know what we're doing and that we don't need help. But, did you know we borrow money from other countries? The only thing different between us and most 3rd World Countries is that we have resources, but they're running scarce. I don't say this to worry anyone, myself included. But, when you know the facts you're more willing to FIGHT for change, to FIGHT for a difference, and to NEVER back down.
Five years ago I was told my life was over. Looking back at those five years I know I'm meant to be here. I look back and wonder (mostly in my grey, dark, or cloudy moments) why I'm here. I feel as though I do nothing, but I'm a person being trained how to be my very BEST and do something for the better in the world. Through all my occupational change decisions I'm in the very place I'm meant to be, and I couldn't be any happier. If I'm doing International Social Work, I know I would be the happiest person in the world. If I'm working with War Veterans/ doing current service member Social Work, I know I would be the happiest person in the world. If I'm working with the Prison System/Jail System, I know I would be the happiest person in the world. But, right now there is also no reason why I can't be the happiest person in the world. Because I know in the end no matter what I do, it will be with PEOPLE! I'm going to be the BEST me, I could possibly be.
