Blog #3

I won't be able to answer this blog because no one shaped me into choosing the Human Service field.  I was kind of pushed into it because I didn't want to stick with my first major so I just picked another choice.  But, what I can say is that I do like this field and I love my internship.  I like doing what I do there and I like my coworkers and the residents.  The residents actually taught me a lot because I learned not to be judgemental and not everyone tries to get things for free.  I also expect to learn a lot more because there are a lot of interesting things in this field and learning from NTC.  The Psychology classes were awesome and I have a much better understanding of people and their minds.

Blog #2 for Field

I actually learned a lot from the Salvation Army.  Being in school and being at my internship taught me how to tolerate people a lot better.  That is my greatest accomplishment because people irritate me.  But I learned that some people have had some really unfortunate things happen to them and they're just looking for some help.  Sitting in on case meetings taught me to look at things in a different way because there is something unique in everyone.  They all had different goals and some are doing it all on their own.  The lives of others changed mine because it taught me to be more tolerable with others, more respectful and more openminded, not everyone is trying to get freebies, but I have ran across some that are.  I hope for the best in all of our residents, I really do, it's hard sometimes to see people in these positions because I never wanted that for anyone but I hope they learned from this experience that there are people and agencies who really want to help them.

Blogging for Field 2, #1

Really?  This having to blog is really stupid and pointless.  The good thing I did was keep calm when I really wanted to smack someone.  For those who know me, I cannot tolerate ignorance and stupidity, I hate it when people waste my time.  What I learned this week is everyone deserves a second chance when they start losing faith in themselves and let themselves go.  Most of the time it's an unfortunate thing that happened to them and sometimes, they choose to live the way they do and do nothing about it.  I feel that I am learning a lot doing these Field Experienced because they teach me at the Salvation Army to not let myself get overwhelmed and burnt out because careers like this can be very stressful.  For the assignments for Field, I think doing these blog posts are a waste of my time because basically, that's what the discussion boards are for.  To me, it's pointless.  As for documentation logs, those are actually good to do because it keeps track of our hours and we can discuss issues on them.  The discussion boards I find very interesting because we can read what others do at their internship.
