I guess I need to accept the fact my family will never be over that I didn't get a four year college degree. Even though I did go back to school and get my a child Development Associate certification. (Through a state college and testing.)

I have to see my own success and find satisfaction in myself. So, here it is y'all:

Peer support specialist training is in two weeks and I'm turning in my application to go! Maybe this will be my new and best career path! I'm so excited!!'

Congrats!

It's your life...your family may have had "other plans" for you...but that's their issue.

You sound excited and I'm excited for you.
Thanks for this!

I think Buddha said somethings about following your own path and not for the expectations of others.

Glad to hear that you're going towards what inspires you, instead of what others want you to do.
Thanks for this!

It's five days of training 8:30-4:30 then there's a test to be certified. And there's a second series of training later. It is a paid position.

Actually, peer support is growing and therapy is leaning more towards that.

I mailed my application in today! I'm praying I get the scholarship!
It's only $100 but I just don't have it.
