What the Future Holds
What's Next for Me? I've been trying to let life take me where it's going to. I'm not in control of what the universe throws in my direction, I'm in control of how I react to it and how I choose to move forward.
What I Do Know:
- I want to be able to listen to all kinds of stories and perspectives
- I want to advocate for causes that need more attention
- I want to educate and inspire others
- I want to erase stigma surrounding the field of social work
