I Dream of going back to school

My big dream is to go back to school and take  the Addictions and Community Service worker Diploma program. I want to give back to help those that are in the same situation I found myself in when I hit my rock bottom over 3 years ago. I have learned that if you humble yourself to admit that you are powerlessness over your compulsion/ addiction, you find that  there is a person / team of people who are willing and waiting to help/ encourage you heal and change the patterns. I want to strive to  be that individual that will be there to  help make that step to encourage change by going back to school .

  2. Rock on!!! You should definitely strive for that dream! If finances are an issue, I know the government is pushing pretty hard for Education and has some awesome benefits for being a student and working in Manitoba! It's NEVER too late to pursue your dream career! Trust me! I just finished my Social work degree and the ages of people in my graduating class ranged from living with parents and 20 yrs old, to single mom in her 30's to married with grand kids mid 60's!

    You will be in my prayers! And in the words of Nike..."just do it!"
