Some people who know their mission in life though sometimes see it as such a high calling that everything short of their calling is "selfish" or whatever adjective they want to use. Kim, I know that you have a heart for service and loving and helping others and so I agree that you are not one of "them", but just someone trying to serve in a different way.<BR/>-KateyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766973.post-1116913515850246992005-05-24T00:45:00.000-05:002005-05-24T00:45:00.000-05:00I feel this same way sometimes but maybe not as st...I feel this same way sometimes but maybe not as strongly. Most social work students these days, as you know, are DP students. Those few profs and students who are CAP will just have to "deal" with us and try to do something to increase their own #'s. Therapists have just as much place in social work as anyone in CAP. They have been around just as long. Anyway, my personal philosophy is that I will change this world through counseling with this degree -- then "they" will realize I was never "bad," but simply one of "them." Nice post. :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484218784988095227noreply@blogger.com
