WHY WSU????
I thought I should use our blog time to tell this class a little about who I am and what I am doing here at WSU. This is my first semester at Wayne State and thus far, I love it, hate to sound too fanatical but I have wanted to go to WSU since my high school years way back when. I graduated last year from St. Clair College in
Windsor, Ontario, by the way where I am from. I graduated with my CYW (Child and Youth Work) diploma. I took a year off with all intention to apply to WSU after a year or so. I worked at a group home in
Windsor which was very hands on and taught me, and showed me things that will stick with me through my whole life. This was the type of job that consumes your life and shows you how difficult teenage lives are if they do not have parents or family to help support them behaviorally and emotionally. This experience made my anticipation much greater than even before because I saw how the children’s system sometimes works and I would want to be one of the people who educate themselves to try to better it and not just use what is there, which I unfortunately saw a lot. This school is the best for that, in my opinion, considering this is the best school in the
USA for Social Work. If all goes as planned I will fast track so that I can graduate in fall 2010 with my MSW. I have never liked school as far as high school however growing and maturing I have come to realize that happiness comes with your determination for it and I hope I have the strength to keep going as I am today.
