Making progress

I have withdraw from my psychology class because I felt that it was too much to handle my first year in college. I am now exploring different majors, but I think I've already found they major for me. That major is Social Work. I think this field will be perfect for what I'm trying to accomplish in the near future. I've always wanted to work with abused children and Social Work definitely fits that interest.

Even thought I'm not playing basketball this year, I've decided not to completely give it up by playing ball every Wednesday with the older ladies on campus. It's really fun playing with them and it also helps keep my mind off not playing on an actual team this season. It's a start!

I've moved out of my old room and I actually enjoy rooming with my friend Crystal. It's not easy living with anybody, but I feel more comfortable living with her then I did with my old roommate.

Wartburg Colleg Social Change

On the Wartburg College Social Change, I find myself being placed under the Community Building and the Community/Economic Development programs. Under the Community Building program I only can see myself enjoying supporting the "Feed My Starving Children". It's something that I always wanted to help out with and I think it would really change and make a difference in my life as well. Hearing about starving children is one thing, but actually seeing it up close is another thing. Seeing the face and feeling their pain can really touch a person in many ways. I've decided to change my major to Social Work because there are a lot of different kinds of kids suffering through their own situation. I want to be the one they will be able to trust and count on to make a difference in their lives. The Community/Economic Development I can see myself supporting the Black Student Union. Actually I' already involved in this program and I feel this is a really good program.
Each student has their own ground that they enjoy doing. I think that Wartburg College is providing many great opportunties for those students.
