About
Many encouraging factors were considered when applying for College and Job positions as a counselor within. Form myself, I enjoy helping people from all walks of life with the aid of their mental-emotional recovery. As a human Service worker who will and does and will specialize in professional counseling within a clinical setting, I have a desire to be a part of something larger than myself. With my current and previous studies, I would be able to introduce different counseling and psychotherapeutic theories and intervention. As we know going through any traumatic and life-altering event such as natural disaster or the loss of loved ones, and those dealing with mental health issues and even aging can be truly hard. In applying for this position as a counselor the main goal would be to counsel the crisis into rehabilitation where a person can manage their anxieties by helping a person develop coping skills. This in-witch I, have the ability to induce.

This would allow me as a Human Service worker to help with preventing and solving problems and striving to provide the highest quality of life possible for clients and consumers. My intended job pathway as a Human Service Worker would allow me to work within a wide variety of jobs. These positions are dedicated to helping others in a time of need.

Also, I would be able to work with a variety of clients who are seeking counselor including those who are seeking career help, marriage or family counseling, mental health counseling, or those who are dealing with drug addiction issues. More so, as a Human Service worker, I am giving, the ability to work within governmental agencies. These agencies help individuals take advantage of any social services that are provided within their region. Some of these include things such as food stamps or medication as well as seek additional resources that could help those individuals get back on their feet. With the education pathway that I have created for myself, I am willing and able to support those who need additional help that are suffering from challenging times to whether they are physical, emotional, financial, or other levels of assistance such as aging.- Graduate school interests

Following the accumulation of clinical hours Apply for the Clinical Level Examination provided by the ASWB.

- Outside the classroom
Throughout my life from adolescence age to middle adulthood, to adulthood, I have experienced many different phases of hobbies interests as we should know this is normal. With the completion of my education pathway practicum job experience I am limited on the time I can spend on any consider free time. With the rearranged free time I start my morning and end my evening with an hour and thirty mins of concentrated fitness. My fitness plan is packed with energy cardio and muscle-building body movements. Other hobbies include watching TV Series/Movies, not much productive too but some of my favorite it tv series would be, Walking dead The Nevers, Shadow bone. The top movie I am waiting on to come out is The Quite II. If I do meet any other people who watch the same movies and tv shows they do have an edge in opening social conversations. Lastly, one of my top hobbies is to just relax! Knowing there is always a tough time with so many exams studying the voluminous syllabus. Relaxing allows time for my brain and body to recuperate for the next challenge with full enthusiasm.
