                                                            Boundaries

The limits I set on my own behavior is:  I don’t use drugs or alcohol

                                                                 I avoid people who use

                                                                 If a conversation gets too negative I leave

                                                                 I walk away from a fight

                                                                 I don’t associate with people who break the law

I feel I have healthy boundaries which developed from years of experience in many situations good and bad.

I now have the perfect job as a Social Worker.  It feels good to be able to help those in need to the best of my ability.  I work with people who have awesome personalities and they also have potential to go through a lot of change as they go through recovery.  Were I come in is finding for them the right environment to grow as a person and to allocate the funds for whatever treatment or facility they may need.  I also recommend clients to appropriate counselors, psychiatrists, financial workers, psychologists and physicians.  To be able to see these people go through drastic changes for the better gives me a true feeling of success.

       Over spring break I got to spend alot of time with my family.  It was good to go back to my home town again.  I ate alot of my grandma’s home cooking, and went out to eat with my mother too.  I wanted to visit my twin brother in prison but I guess I got to fill out a visitation form and have it approved by the warden to be able to get in.  I talked to him over the phone though, he’s looking at doing 5 to 9 years behind bars for attempting to rob a drug dealer.  Even though he’s faced with so much time, he still seems to be in good spirits.

      According to my schedule, I feel I give enough time to school and studying to get things done.  One thing I could work on is lifting weights more and sleeping less.

     I learned more about budgeting my money.  This will be valuable to me all threw out my life because then I will spend my money on what’s important first and what’s miscelanious next. 

I also gained some insight on how to manage stress. This is very benificial because if I stress out too much it effects my performance in school and at work.

I’ve also learned how to utilize the school’s resources to carry me through college with out too many bumps in the road.

I plan to fill out the application for Inver Hills College and Financial Aid forms. My plan is to move to Inver Grove Heights and continue my education there. At that time I will be doing college level classes to begin working on my A.A.degree.
