My biggest concern lately is that I don't have a job. I had this fantastic job as a Youth Care Counselor and Teacher's Aid at a residential treatment facility for Severely Emotionally Disturbed kids, but the organization had problems with funding and had to be shut down. I have been out of work for the past 6 months. At first, I really needed a break and took the time to really find myself. Getting laid off actually helped me to begin this journey and take care of myself better. For the last several months, I have been more actively looking for work, but it has been a struggle. I don't want to do the same thing I was doing and have to start from the ground up again. But, alot of things I am interested in require a graduate degree and I only have my B.A. I am going to apply for graduate school, but in the mean time, I still need a job. Things have been okay because I have been on unemployment, but that is about to run out for me. I also refuse to settle in a job that I don't like. It's depressing and I won't do that to myself again. In the mean time, I will just keep looking and hoping for the best, but it is STRESSING ME OUT!!! AARGHH!
