Back to school!!

Yesterday was day two of the new semester, at the end of the 6hrs long class/tutorial I was thinking "oh God we not even quarter way into this thing!" . its So full on and jam packed, we are looking at 4 days in a row and 6hrs a day! lord have mercy.. One thing for sure is that I'm proud of myself for pushing myself to do this and getting through the first semester, Come December I'll be a qualified community services worker and counsellor :-)

I'm most excited about this semester because it brings on a new challenge, this time we are not just looking at simulated activities but we are looking to go out in the community and work with real people and come up with solutions to real challenges, its one thing to look at a case study or write a well referenced proposal or report and a totally different thing to go out there and implement it. so I've bundled up with a group of awesome ladies and we are looking to work with a women's refuge providing services to clients who are victims of domestic violence and abuse. At the moment its all ideas and concepts that we have but as we move along it will all unfold and come together. I love education that is practical and hands on, and its what I love most about my current course.

I would like to rephrase Nelson Mandela's quote and say "Practical Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"
