Me, a college student?!


Well, kids, it's official! Just like in The Waterboy, when Mr. Coach Klein made all of Bobby's dreams come true not only by letting him serve high-quality H2O to the "fooseball" team, but also through granting him access to a college education! I am on my way to becoming the most amazing adoption social worker in the history of adoption social workers! (I won't need to serve high-quality H2O to the "fooseball" team though!)
I am officially a student of pre-Social Work at Akron University. I am able to take most of my classes at the Medina campus, which is a HUGE plus! I mean, who has money to drive to Akron 500 times a week?! I sure don't, I work at Kids Country for crying out loud!!
I finished making my schedule this morning, and I am sooooo excited!! I have been sitting on the bench for the past couple years, trying to figure out what in this world I am supposed to be doing! And it finally occurred to me to stick with the one true passion that God placed in my heart a long long time ago...Helping His beloved, forgotten children find the places in which they can call home, and the couples they can call "mommy and daddy." I've wanted to work with orphans for as long as I can remember, and through Micah's journey to our family, this passionate fire has been rekindled! (not that it ever went out)
I have made the appropriate preparations to begin my own journey to become a Licensed Social Worker, so I can be a part of the beautiful hope for these children! Please pray for me as I adjust to my school load on top of my work schedule. It's not going to be easy going to school full-time and working full-time, but I feel at peace, knowing God has shed His light on this journey for my life. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
