Live life to the fullest
understanding of the social work profession?
I am a 24 year old, who wants to change the status quo of society. I want to make the world a better place for future generations by becoming a therapist so I can help people with their problems. This is in order to enlighten them to discover the power of their own voice. Therefore, my clients will learn to develop self advocacy skills to make people comfortable with their identities so they are proud of their differences and are able to become powerful individuals who can overcome any obstacles. I was born with Cerebral Palsy, but despite my disability, I have managed to be a part of mainstream society and I have accomplished many goals in life. I am a hardworking, determined, attentive, responsible and versatile person. I believe in my abilities and I refuse to let my disability hinder me from achieving my goals and dreams in life. There are many people who have inspired me to discover my passion for helping others through social work, including my mother and father.
All my life I’ve been told who I should be,
what I should wear or what I should look like.
I tried to do what I was told, but it just didn’t take.
I was never happy fitting into their labels and boxes, so I stopped trying.
I realized that I’m unique, and I want more than to do what everyone else is doing.
I can’t and don’t do anything small or halfway.
I’m not afraid to put myself out there and take risks.
Sure, I’ve been hurt more than my fair share, but I don’t stop trying to love and be loved.
It’s a risk I’m willing to take, because the reward - love - is worth the price ... any price.
I know many would never agree with that, but it’s my choice, and I’ll take the chance without hesitation.
I’ve spent many sleepiness nights crying myself to sleep or tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep because my mind wouldn’t stop..
But that’s just part of it, and I accept that.
I refuse to stop living and stop loving because I’ve had my heart broken.
I learned from my mistakes and I built higher walls around my heart, but I still give too much of myself..that’s just who I am.
I live every day to the fullest, and I love with all my heart ...
And I don’t plan on changing.
It’s who I am- I can’t love anything or anyone halfway.
So, if you think you’re going to come into my life with some lackluster passion or part time friendship, think again..
I expect what I give and I give it all.
I’m always there for my people and I always will be.
I wear my heart on my sleeve and I speak my mind..that’s just who I am.
When it comes to romance, I don’t need grandiose promises or fancy dreams.
I yearn for real, authentic and genuine love- deep feeling, soul touching, heart stimulating and visceral emotional connection.
Anything less isn’t enough for me.
I’m sure the world will shake its head in disapproval at the way I live and love, and they’re welcome to pass judgment on me.
It doesn’t mean I’ll care or listen.
They don’t know where I’ve been and don’t know my reasons, so they don’t have the right to think they know me..because they don’t.
So, I’m going to keep charging hard into every day with everything I have, no matter how hard the challenges may be.
I was born to become more and that’s just what I’m doing.
Big heart, big hopes, big dreams..
And it all starts with me.
I’ll keep taking the chances for amazing love and wonderful friendships, because just like I always do,
I’m going to keep loving hard and living with all my heart.
It’s now or never,
So I’m choosing now. I am not waiting for my life to happen
