I believe I will be a good candidate for this school, and field, as I, myself, have anxiety, depression, OCD and emetophobia. Counselors have therapist as well! Having these conditions, helps us feel what the patient feels and helps give person therapy as well as educated therapy and education to the patients. I love trying to hear people out, “fix” things. I’m a very caring, positive and knowledgeable person, and would love to help others in need. There are so many people that are not in the right head space at this time, and many people need counseling, that isn’t available, as everyone is all filled up. I would love to help out as soon as possible and help people feel better in their own skin, be more confident, less dependance, cope and know how to control their anxiety. Getting help for so long, also has given me much education on these subjects as well.

I will be focused on school every evening after work and on my two days off during the week, as well as on the weekend. Unfortunately I don’t have many hobbies other than working out twice a week and taking care of my animals. I will occasionally have family gatherings to attend to but that’s usually once every other weekend and just a few hours. I have plenty of time to study. I also feel, as I am maturing and almost in my 40’s, I am less distracted and more focused on my future. Yes I work with dogs and love my job, but also love helping others, and learning about people, that in the future this would bring more stability in my life.
