I am on disability and volunteer wherever I can. Thursday should be a rough volunteer session. I am helping at the health center where they are giving flu shots to members of the health care providers. Doctors and nurses are the worst patients. But that day I get to tell them what to do. hehehehehe

I work with children who need care before school starts (6:30 a.m.) and also babysit for kids who need care after school. During school hours, I have been placed in a 3rd grade classroom for credit towards my master's in education degree, which I am persuing part time. I also volunteer watching kids at my church while the women have their Bible study

I am currently volunteering at the Library book store within the main library downtown. I'm also a student but taking this year off to work (still searching for a job!) to save up to take the SSW Program (Social Service Worker) next September. After the completion of that two year program, I hope to go into the field of social work and work specially with the mental health area
Thanks for this!
