About me:
I'm currently living in Metro Detroit, while beginning my senior year at SVSU as a psych major/sociology minor. I'm also in the process of gearing up in the next few months to attend graduate school. My goal is to become a counselor specializing in eldery, death & dying, teen outcasts, domestic violence survivors, and high risk people (suicidal). Basically, I want to help people who have or are experiencing things that I've gone through to let them know that someone does care and understand where they are coming from. There's been a lot of life alternating experiences that have transformed me what I am today from the silly, self-absorbed teenager I was in high school (and possibly all of my 20's LOL). I credit that with my gaining knowledge base in Zen, meditation, healthier eating/exercise habits,clearing out of the negativity, and regaining my sunny optimistic disposition.
Best advice: Life happens, live with no regrets, don't apologize for having an opinion, don't think you are better than someone else, and stand up for what you believe in (even if it costs you everything).
