NASW for Students
Did you know that you could join NASW for a discounted price as a student? NASW offers a student membership, in which students can take advantage of all the benefits of being a member but pay a small fraction of the price of yearly membership. Students are also welcome to join in on all the training workshops and activities that NASW puts on for their members. Check out their website for more information regarding how to join. I just joined and was instantly given access to their career links and listing of up-coming workshops! Also, you can find all the information you would need regarding licensing in that state of Arizona upon graduation, and links to study guides for the comprehensive exam. Check it out!

Birthdays
It's that time of year again.... my birthday! Today is my last day as a 27 year old, and tomorrow dawns a new year and a new chapter in my life. I can honestly say this is the first year in quite some years that I can finally look back and take a deep breathe and feel like I've finally begun accomplishing my goals. Finally I am a college graduate, working on my masters, gaining real life experience in a career I love and learning and growing in self awareness and self confidence. What a wonderful and horrible year I have had as a 27 year old. This year was full of so many ups and downs my head is still spinning, but through it all I've learned and grown and proven myself little by little. Through these trials and struggles life has begun to refine me. As a rough stone rolls down a rocky incline only to be a smooth, polished stone at the end of the journey I too have begun this changing decent. Today the sun goes down on 27 and tomorrow the sun rises on 28, a different day and a different women. I am so grateful for the challenges and the opportunities I have had. So grateful for my education and the opportunities this has allowed me. What an exciting time in life to finally be completing my educational goals and to be looking forward to embarking on my professional future. So tonight I am reveling in 27, and looking forward to year #28!
