So let me begin by first telling you why I am doing this. I am going to college so I can get a degree and get the job I want. This is my first ever attempt at a blog. I have never really read blogs but have kept personal journals of my own in the past. So the idea of airing my personal thoughts to the world can be a little intimidating. I want to be a Social Worker when I grow up. And to do that there are a few prerequisites that I have to complete. One of them is taking an Art and Letters class. I decided that taking Gender and Communication would help me understand possible populations (a population is a certain group of people you work with i.e.: homeless, youth, addicts.) in the future.
I am 25 years old, I have lived in 3 other countries (Wales, Japan and Iraq) and visited 15 other countries. I love to travel and realize that it’s a big world we live in. I grew up in Thornton, CO and moved to Melbourne, FL my freshman year of high school. It was a tough year to move and my freshman year is something I wish I could forget, but because of it I was able to find an exchange student program. So my Sophomore year of high school disappeared and I ended up in Wales for my Junior/Senior year of high school. I left home at 15 and never looked backed. Once I was done with high school I joined the Navy. I knew there I could keep travelling and not have to worry about homework. I loved my time in the Navy and most days regret getting out but we all have to grow up some day right?
So here I am I’m doing homework and trying to adjust to being a civilian again. I am very excited about learning how different the genders interact with each other and how exciting learning can be. I know that the easy road is just behind me (going back in the Navy) but I need to choose the hard road because that’s where the big reward is.
