Let me start by introducing myself. I am 32 years old (but don't really feel that old today). I have been married about 11 years. I have four sons ages 15, 10,7, and one that celebrates in Heaven and he would be 5; I also have a daughter that is almost three. I moved to Vernal roughly eight years ago from Colorado and honestly I hate the weather here. Although I love the small town for my children I think Utah is a desolate, dry, waste of space. I miss the culture, climate, landscape, and variety of activities in Colorado. But I am here to stay for good, because my son is buried here.
I am in college because I am a nerd, I love school. I like to learn, honestly I just like receiving A's. I am going to college so I can be something when I grow up. Mostly an example for my children; how can I demand a college education if I never finished mine. About three and a half years ago my husband suffered a disabling injury, this changed the course of our lives forever. At the time I had just started a new job working at Head Start and I loved it. He since enrolled in College through the Voc Rehab program and let's tell the truth I was jealous of him. After two years of working at Head Start I had developed a love/hate relationship there and decided to go through the Voc Rehab program and see if I could qualify to be sent to college. Here I am a year later and in my second year of college. Yea for me I have something wrong enough with me for Voc Rehab to help me!
I am majoring in Social Work and hope to receive my Master's Degree. Although I want to take a different approach than the standard fix it and file it approach our system has today. I want to prevent problems; I want to create a program that will help troubled teens before they enter the system, to help teen mothers before they become statistics, I want to help them build a future before they change it forever.
