It is a career related to psychology.

      I am in graduate school now studying to become a social worker. I want to be a licensed clinical social worker. They work with clients to help deal with issues involving mental and emotional health issues. A clinical social worker may diagnose and treat mental, behavioral and emotional disorders.  All clinical social workers need to have a MSW – a master's degree in social work. You will first need to earn a Bachelor’s degree in a closely related field such as Psychology, Child Development, Social Work or Sociology. I have a bachelor degree in psychology from North Carolina Central University. (NCCU). The annual mean salary for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker on a nationwide basis ranges - depending on employer - between $40,000 and $70,000.

     The reason why I want to become a clinical social worker is because I want to make a difference in other people’s lives. I want to help individuals and families find solutions. I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say because of you, I didn't give up. Social Workers make a difference. I want to work in a clinic. I always wanted to work in a medical field.

My feelings lately

Apparently when you start treating people how they treat you, it's like the world is ending. Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny. Some people are just incapable of understanding you. Don't take advantage of the people who love's and cares about you. Wake up with so much joy in your heart. Always trust in yourself & believe that you can be what you want to be and you can make a difference in somebody's life. Pay attention to how people act when you're not on good terms. Very blessed to have people in my life who make me a better person. That's the way it should be. Don't base yourself worth on what other people think about you. I may not be where I want to be right now, but I have came a long way.I will reach my goals and nothing will stop me.           
     I'm blessed with everything I need. I am working towards everything I want, and most of all, I appreciate & thank God for what I have.
To my dear family and friends. I would like to say I love you and thank God for you for being you. You add to my life wether I like it or not. Life is to short not to appreciate all those that made life special a long the way. No matter where life paths may lead us, thank you for being you. I love you all.
My attitude towards you is based on how you treat me.
I will not forget who was there for me when I was down.
I think people should keep my name out of their mouths if they are not praying for me.
With God by my side, the best is yet to come.
The greatest weapon against stress is the word of God! A reminder that God is with us no matter what we're going through.
I be feeling great after having a talk to God about my future.
I thank God for everything and everyone he gave me everyday.
