Life's Ups and Downs

Well after the recent let down of my medication not working, I have exceptionally good news! I know in my last post I said I was going to switch majors and do early childhood education. Yesterday I went to the advising center to find out about it and we got to talking. I still want to do social work plus early childhood education so the really nice women at the advising center introduced me to a major I'd never heard of before. My new major as of today is Human Development. Yea!!!! It combines social work and early childhood education! The best of both worlds! So with this degree I could switch careers without going back to school! Chaching! I can work in head start, domestic violence, family support, childcare, residential treatment, elderly, juvenile corrections, and youth programs. It's only through WSU but they have a campus in Spokane! (Nothing against Pullman, I've just wanted to go to Eastern since I was 16 years old and if I can still got to school in Spokane, that's awesome. And my sis lives there.) Plus I can do distance through YVC. I really do want to go away to school though. So today I went to the WSU/CWU center at YVC and talked with Robin who knows all there is to know about the degree I want. After we were done talking she told me to go see my counselor Bob Chavez about my AA and junk. He told me I can get finiancial support from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation place in Yakima because I have cerebral palsy! Chaching! (I knew it'd come in handy someday;) He also had CP until that left arm got caught in machinery and amputated so he knows. Talk about a good day! Gotta go eat lunch, so hope everyone else had an awesome day!
