Hopefully, my future
I know college is few years away for me right now, but i still think about it all the time. Especially what I'm going for. My mind is constantly changing about what i want to do. But for a while now, I think I really want to go to college to become a Child or Teen Psychologist. Like i said in my other posts, I love being around kids. I would like to do this job because i like knowing what kids are thinking and i feel that they need someone to talk to other than their parents because, let's just face it, there are some things children don't want their parents to know. I'd especially like to council teens with parents that have gotten divorces or people with eating disorders. My parents have been divorced for almost 2 years this coming christmas. No one knows how it feels until you actually go through it like I did. I think it's being fake when people say i know what your going through, when they really don't. SO this is one major reason why I'd really like to take on this job. Just to know that another child is struggling like I did, and i can help them, would make me feel great.

that's the exact same thing i want to do!!!!!! ♥:] except i don't really want to specialize in counseling kids going through a divorce. i don't know much about that because my parents were never married and they broke up when i was a month old so i don't really know what it's like to even HAVE a dad around. i'd rather talk to them about going through a death in the family...because i've been through a lot of that. i think psychology would be a really fun and good career. except i want to be a psychologist with one of those fancy offices and stuff..ya know? not a school psychologist. you're right though..it annoys me when people say like.."theyre sorry" or "they know how it feels" when they find out that my dad is dead. it's not easy..i know. but if you ever need anyone to talk to about your parents divorce...im here!!! :o) ♥
ha because i cant think for myself. duh.
counseling is something i wanted to consider doing for a career. it really helps kids to talk to someone who will understand them. thats a good job. goodluck with that [:
I don't know what you have been through and it breaks my heart to think about it. I think about issues like the ones you have had to go through and the frequency of their occurrences and it truly boggles my mind. I just don't understand it.
One thing I am sure about is how amazing the children that get through these problems and maintain a positive outlook on life are. I mean it. The fact that you chose to write about this and you want to confront problems like this as a career is phenomenal.
Can I give you a suggestion? Talk to our counselor about opportunities for peer involvement in this area. She may have some ideas for you. Maybe we could start a club or get help help from an existing club to raise awareness and offer support to the many kids affected by these issues in our school. You rule!!
Wow, thats a really good idea, its not something i, myself would do, but it takes a really nice, and very patient person to do something like that... i def couldnt do that... =P lol
Wow, talk about inspiring. I'm so blessed to have parents that aren't divorced, even though they almost did a few years back. It's so sad to see the children go through those horrible times. I really think you would make a great child care person or someone who works with kids. Knowing you outside of school gives me a little bit more knowledge about you, but I see how you are with kids and you are great with them. You practically raise Nathan with Kenny. It's cool to see how you two work as a team, I like it. Well I hope you do what you are supposed to do with your future. Sweet post Beca!!!
college is really good for people who want to make a living other than mcdonalds!
