This is an important consideration that each clinical practitioner must contemplate sooner or later -- and perhaps it is best done sooner rather than later. It is not something I have considered lightly, but at the end of the day I am confident that I can find that balance in my life. I am person of many different interests: music, art, philosophy, writing, research; and I am a spiritual person. For me, these have always been key elements in keeping my life balanced. It has not evolved me in a perfect way, but these things in my life serve to bring me back to earth during those moments when my ego becomes to inflated, too deflated, bruised, or battered; and take comfort in, and I am grateful for all the things that keep me balanced.

I will continue to pursue my interests and develop myself socially as I work in my career. I invite the new experiences that will bring new friends into my life, and I will cherish the memories as old friends grow and move away from my life. But it is the old and the new alike, that will continue to move me forward too, and I look at these opportunities and challenges as embarking upon a very long adventure.

There are so many important things to begin working on, and many families and adolescents to begin providing services to so that they, too, can move their lives forward. My thoughts keep going back to the many ways to improve the dynamics of the family, and this will lend itself to improving the lives of adolescents.
Right now, in America, there are thousands of young adolescents; who are misdirected, and whose opportunities to make choices that will create for them more choices in their lives will be lost to drug addiction and abuse, alcoholism, juvenile delinquency without family therapy and counseling. Even worse, teen-age suicides are occurring daily, and as those cases are revealed to us through the news, too many adolescent lives are lost without the benefit of having the interventions of family therapy or counseling.

I am looking forward to bringing my skills and services to an area of professional counselor that is in need of qualified and skilled professionals who understand family dynamics, adolescent needs and growth. I am confident that I can serve my clients well and in a professionally ethical way and environment that is conducive to maintaining and improving their quality of life. I have committed myself to being a part of something that is socially significant. I am eager to begin my field work and to begin my career as a professional counselor.
