It was truly a challenge being there, and I loved every minute of it!…

    One the most significant things that I learned in introduction to human services this semester was that everyone experiences situations differently, what might be something unimportant and minor to you might be a trigger for someone else.

Which, is ridiculous because the world has 7.3 billion people and counting, and what makes me more significant than all those other people?
