Today's been great! For months now I've been trying to get some volunteer work that would be relevant to the career i want when I leave uni and would give me the experience I need. Today I went for an interview with SOVA for their On Trak project working with ex-offenders.
They're running my CRB check and Im booked on a 3 day training course in May! I'm so excited, but at the same time a little disappointed. Colley believes that working with ex-offenders and my final career goal of working with people who have personality disorders is all a bit to dodgy. He doesn't think it's safe and not a wise thing to do.
It's the only thing that I've found that I want to do. I do have a back-up plan, sorta, in case things don't go the way I plan. I'd like to work with animals if I fail at psychology, but I do have my heart set on Rampton Hospital. Colley says he'll support me whatever I want to do, but I want to re-assure Colley somehow that everything will be OK.
Anyway, I'm still excited, but also nervous, about hopefully starting volunteer mentoring.
Just a quick update today, I'll write more another time. Tarrah!
