I got a job! As a clinical therapist in the outpatient program at Development Centers in Detroit. I'll be working with people with personality, mood, and mental disorders, seeing them once a month to moderate their medications, update their progress, and other fun things like that.

I want to be out of my comfort zone. I want to find meaning to my life. I want to be surrounded by people with passion. I want to have an experience to look back ( Read more... )
