I'm a "big girl" now

Wow. The past 10 months flew since I last wrote. Many, many things happened and changed in my life since then. Since my last post, I completed my Bachelor's of Social Work degree at Juniata College. The past 4 years at college were a whirlwind of joy, confusion, excitement, frustration, and optimism. It was a bumpy ride, but I made it and I am proud to say I am now a professional social worker. I would be remiss if I did not mention a statement of gratitude toward all those who have stood behind me and supported me through all of my challenges and successes the past four years. My family and friends are the very best.

Just this morning I accepted my first "big girl" job, as I will call it. I'm still going to be working with the same company that I have worked with for the past two years, however, I will be switching gears and working with the family services department. I'm a little scared but excited to take a new step toward bettering my professional career. And, not to mention, my pile of debt from school isn't going anywhere, so I gotta start somewhere. :)
