I am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science, majoring in Psychology. I have One and a half years to go, and cant wait to get out there and work. My aim when i started University was to finish with a Masters in Clinical Psychology, and open my own clinic. But recently i have had a change of heart, and want to go out and work, and experience the real world, before i tie myself down with my own practice. This will have to wait till im older.
I have also completed a certificate 3 in Community Services at Tafe, and have my Mental Health first aid certificate.
I am currently involved with St Vincent de Paul, and go on Buddies days for disadvanteged children. My aim is to get involved with there Homeless program in the near future. I want to do more volunteering, but its just finding the time away from my studies.
My aim in life has never been, and never will be to own an expensive home, an expensive car or earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I want to live a simple life, helping others in any way possible.People today are so wrapped up in their own lives, their own material possesions that they have forgotten about the most important thing in their lives PEOPLE! I belive we were all put here to serve one another, and this is how i intend to live my life. I would feel incomplete if this was not how i lived.
All my life i have wanted to change the world, feed the poor in disadvanteged countries, help everyone in need. I still want to do this but have realised that you dont need to change world all at once or in a massive way. Just help someone who has dropped something, help someone who doesnt know how to work something, help someone who needs 5 cents or just say hello to your neighbour. Compassion is what the world needs, not possesions. Compassion is what we will die and be remembered for, not for the car we drove.
This is my aim in life, and if everyone lived like this we would already be changing the world, one day at a time. We are not superheroes, and there are so many problems with this world that we cant possibly understand, but we can try. No matter how big or small, compassion goes a long way!
