Work goals...

By virtue of where I work, I meet with my boss on a weekly basis and come up with goals to help me get a better job. One of my goals that I have had ever since before starting work there was to network. I was able to complete this goal. My Aunt has a neighbor who happens to be a Vocational Rehabilitation Councilor. I met this neighbor and had a really good 30 minute conversation with her. It really solidified to me that that is the path which I want to take in my life. Yes, I want to help kids like me. She works in the school system starting at 16 years old and helps these young adults transition into adult life. She works with a lot of the kids that fell through the cracks and felt as tho there was no true place for them in the school system. It felt great to talk with someone in the field who is excited to go to work everyday. It was a great conversation and it really solidified in my mind that this is what I want to do.
