LJ Idol Season 11: Resolution

[miintikwa]

It's easy to make a resolution, to say you're going to change something. It's much harder to actually do it. I had resolved to go back to school, get my psychology degree, and become a therapist. I applied to and was accepted into my college of choice, and I was SO excited about the classes. Everything was going great

So much need there especially for people with a passion for the work.

I've worked with a psychologist and a psychiatrist and other than adjusting my medicine they haven't done a thing for me. Good professional people, but they just don't have any skin in the game and it shows.

*nod* I believe grief strikes us far more often than people realize. It's not just death, it's divorce, losing a job, losing a pet, having a health crisis, and so many more things. I think it could make a huge difference to respect these griefs and I'm hoping I can do that.

I hope you are able to find a solution soon!

[miintikwa]

Thank you!

That sounds SO frustrating! I hope you can reach your goal, because I think you’d be a great counselor! ❤️

[miintikwa]

Thank you so much! :) <3

It’s a crime how much higher education costs plus all the loans and interest fees.

[miintikwa]

Yeah. The college I'm looking at is a lot cheaper than the first school, but even then I am not sure I will be able to afford it. Can't hurt to try though.

I’ve wanted to go back to school and it’s the cost that keeps holding me back. It’s a shame how the costs have sky rocketed.

It really is ridiculous. I am finding road blocks everywhere-- but I am going to keep trying.
