Social Security Reflection

Wednesday,
Today was a slow day. I am not looking forward t this week. Today was the day that I had to make up for my time that I missed in class last week, because I was sick. So as soon as I walked in the door, I had to go see my supervisor who directed me to a MSW instructor for the SOAR program. I am a very energetic person so I don’t like to sit for an extensive amount of time. We sat for about five hour as he taught me the program and then he sat me on a computer where I had to complete a test and watch a movie about the program. After the movie was over, I had to go home so that I could get some rest to do the same thing tomorrow. I really didn’t find today interesting, but I acted like I like the program. I told the MSW that I was really
Except today was the last day. I had to take a exam to prove that I knew what I did. I thought the test was really easy. I just had to rewrite some words into sentences that were very detailed and explain why I did what I did to him. The point of the SOAR program is to help case managers to connect with social security better so that the clients can get their money faster. Taking this program suppose to cut down at least two months of waiting for social security. I hope that they are right, because I have a lot of people who are waiting on me to help assist them with their SSI. I was very excited that I finished the program not because I wanted to get the certificate, but because I was able to know off some task of my learning contract. It took me the whole day to finish the class, but I did it. Nothing spectacular happen today. I was in class all day today, which consisted of me sitting behind a computer and listening to stories. I have no idea how I was able to get through the class, but I did it. The MSW held my certificate for me from last week and presented it to me today. I am hoping this will help me with job employment after I complete my practicums. I am really tired of working for free. Tomorrow is home stretch. I have a mental health first aid class to take. I am not looking forward to that
Although I was in class all day. I had a good day, I have been in the Mental Health First Aid class. At first I did not think that the class was going to be fun, but it was. I was able to connect with people all the Central Texas Area. I am hoping to get in good with them so I can find good employment. It really makes me sick that everytime I talk to someone about the pay in the area, the first thing that say that your ork should come from your heat. Yes I get that but, hat is the poi t of working if you cannot take care of yourself and your family. I have ben told that the going rate for a MSW is 16 dollars a hour in this area. That’s ok money, but for a masters I am hoping to make at least 22.00 a hour. The class was very boring to me because I knew everything that was display. What I mean was that the course work was boring, but the class was amazing. It was nice to talk to people about things going on in the mental health community. Textbooks don’t have feeling so its nice to connect with people. I thought the instructors were a joke, I sat in the from of the classroom and I was the instructors helper. The entire time she was reading off a paper. So what was the point of her presence? I know I am a hard judge, but I feel like she was a waste of time. The only thing that I like was class interaction. I also wish that we didn’t complete the class at Feed My Sheep because the class was over at five, but I had to stay and clean up because it was
