I am back from DC, enjoyed a much needed rest over the holidays with my family, am back at work, and gearing up for my last semester before I graduate with my Bachelor's Degree in Public Services and Policy. It is a year of excitement and expectation. This year I am letting go of what no longer serves me and embracing with open arms the new opportunities and relationships that will come my way in 2016. Two words for me this year...balance and change.
I am taking four classes this semester... Leadership Group Communication, Applied Statistics, Public Service Research, and my Senior Capstone Project. Aside from my studies, work, and home life, I will need to focus on updating my resume, following up with contacts I made in DC, and looking for opportunities for me once I graduate. I still have no idea where I will be. My hope is to be at a place where I can grow and build on the skills that I have now. I want to work with a team of motivated, committed individuals who are just as passionate as me about the work we do. I would have thought that would never be possible in the past, but my experience working at Glendale Community College has taught me otherwise. Working in a positive environment is so important for me. Next week, my adult son Caleb, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder and now lives in Texas because I was not able to get him any home and community based services here in Arizona will be coming for a visit. He calls me everyday to ask how my day was, what I did, to tell me he loves me, and that he can't wait to see me when he comes to visit me in Arizona. Caleb embodies the meaning of unconditional love and I am so grateful for him in my life.
