About Me

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm a single mother to Andrew (10) and Ashelyn (6). I completed college in December of 2007 obtaining a degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling. I'm currently in a very new relationship with a wonderful man. My goal is to go back to college and earn my Bachelor's in Social Work; possibly my Master's. I would also love to get my CASAC (credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor) someday. I'm discovering a new happiness in my life and the only thing I'm waiting for is to find a job so I can continue my career. I love my field of work and enjoy every minute of it. The rest you can find on my "complete profile". Any questions, feel free to ask :-)

Can't say it enough!

I can't say enough how much I love my new job! I worked 12 1/2 hours tonight but I loved it! I sat today for a good few hours and had a nice chat with one of the residents while I curled her hair. She asked me to curl it for her and I took it as an opportunity to talk with her. It was quite productive and I think I was able to earn her trust. Being the new girl, none of the residents trust me much at all, so today was an awesome day. I must say, it's the best day I've had at work so far! I'm kind of sad that I don't have to work tomorrow! It didn't even feel like I was there for 12 hours today...it just goes by so fast because you're always so busy! And one other resident saw me curling the other resident's hair today and wants me to style her hair for her homecoming dance in two weeks. So, that made me feel happy. And she was one of the girls who I pissed off on my first day. I love my job. How many people can say they look forward to going to work everyday?

AHA! You are making some progress, because if I remember correctly, you are the person who told me "it's not a job if you enjoy it". :o)

I'm glad you love it.

I do love it. My mood has already changed and some of my Depression has already begun to lift!
