Transitions...
Graduation came and left in all its glory. Now, I am looking for jobs. It is a new life soon starting, a new chapter. One in which I am uncertain about the world I am entering in, which is exciting as it is scary.
I also discovered myself in more ways than one. I learned that maybe I would work with the solution focused theory in the future. Why? Because I discovered that we solve nothing by saying "we are doomed." I know people who would throw the hand on the pretense that their contribution would be insignificant. Perhaps so, but you have to keep trying.
I remember an article recently written in New York Times. The guy said that, when it comes to Global Warming, we might be doing too little too late, but closed on a more positive note: we have to bother with the small insignificant contributions the way Vaclav Havel, former President of Czechoslovakia, did. Keep doing things "as if" they would change the society, and maybe, as it happened with him, people noticed.
It is important to me as a Social Worker not to get discourage every time it says "it is not enough, but keep fighting... Keep looking for ways of how to make my work "enough " or "close to enough" to contribute. That's one of many reasons I wanted it to be a Social Worker.
On the other hand... I will have time to cultivate many aspects of myself and the enrichment of my life. Homeworks did not give me such time. I hope it continues this way and I don't have to return to school for PHD, but let us see what life has in store. For now, a life living between New York and Chicago until I find a job is waiting for me. Hopefully, this switching cities won't last too long.
