About   (request update)
I don't know lol I've been told I have a magnetic personality. I've told I make people love me from the get-go. I've been told that I'm easy to talk to and that I'm best person to go to when a "cheer up" is needed. I guess that's what makes me special.
My Interview Question
What does it mean to be a good friend?
Current Whereabouts:
Tallahassee, FL, just graduated from Florida State with a Master of Social Work, and hopefully moving on to bigger and better things afterwards.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
I hope to one day be a Family Lawyer. In the meantime, I enjoy the field of Social Work. It requires a lot of time but I can't see myself doing anything other than this. I love people, I love social interaction, I love being an advocate for those who are less fortunate, who have no voice, who are overlooked and cast aside, and for those who are in need. I think it takes a special, compassionate, selfless person to do what Social Workers do.
