Last Thursday marked the end of my graduate student journey, as my final paper was due on Wednesday and my last day of field was on Thursday. I ended the week on a good note by attending the End of the Year party that was held at Pearl Street. Since I have been living in Northern New York\/ Canada since August it was great to catch up with friends and colleagues from the social work program, as well as make new acquaintances.<\/p>\n

I currently do not have a set plan for when I graduate, I continue to apply for positions and study for the licensure exam. I am thinking that I will take my exam first, before becoming employed, however, I am not set on that idea. I will continue to nanny for triplets, as I have been for the past year, and spend time with my friends and family that visit over the summer. I am also planning a couple trips throughout the summer including Denver, Northern Ontario, possibly Nashville, and multiple camping trips.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed my internship and being exposed to the policies and programs that are available in Canada that differ from the U.S. It was great being in a placement where I was able to interact with the residents on a daily basis, develop rapport, and establish a plan for their goals. I have family that reside in the area so I plan on stopping to visit the supportive housing program when I am in town. There is some relief in ending my placement regarding less traveling back and forth from the U.S. and Canada, as I went back and forth every week.<\/p>\n

Professionally, I hope to obtain my CASAC and am in the application process stage; I took the necessary courses as my elective in order to obtain the hours to apply. Once of the areas that I am looking to apply for jobs in is the addiction field as well as mental health. However, I am open to all the various areas of social work and look forward to developing my knowledge through employment.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the Class of 2018 for all their hard work and perseverance throughout the program, I look forward to seeing everyone at graduation! Good luck on all your future endeavors!<\/p>\n
