So for those of you who don't know this summer I will be a case management intern at a prison in Eastern NC. I was offered the internship as part of the NC Government Summer Internship Program. I applied for this specific one because I think learning more about case management will help me to learn if social work is something I would like to do in the future. What I know now is that I want to spend the rest of my life serving God by serving and loving His people. I would like to do that at a community level by helping families and people find the resources they need to help themselves. What I don't know is if social work is the right avenue for me to do this. I've been warned that social work will be draining and exhausting, that it feels futile if there is no policy change....... and I'm sure that is true, but if it's what God wants me to do I know He will prepare me for the job.
So yeah, I'm working in a prison and living in a new town with people I just met this summer and because I know it's going to be a great adventure I thought I'd record my thoughts in a blog. It's been awhile since I've blogged, like since 9th grade when I blogged on Xanga. Yeah, it's been awhile but I hope this is at least a way for me to keep in touch with my family and friends and to let them know how I'm doing in a new town and at a new internship. Happy reading!
