I chose to pursue a social work degree because I believe our individual state of mind and well-being are deeply interconnected with the systems we interact with. My goal is to work in therapy, and social work can help me understand how to empower others to advocate for themselves and help them navigate difficult social systems. The GIF I shared is how I feel: very excited but also nervous.

I hope to be able to support these families in any way I can, whether that means offering resources or being a shoulder to lean on. I'm excited to learn new things, but also nervous since it's been a few years since I've graduated!
