Batter Up!

This week, after a one-year hiatus from school, I enrolled for my Fall 2026 classes and decided to return to a less intensive case management position. This was me, taking ownership of an objective I could control and influence, quite different from my younger me. The younger me would take on any prospect and learn from whatever outcome. When I played baseball, I hardly walked when I batted because I swung at almost every pitch thrown during my at-bat. Why? I assumed I could hit any pitch in my proximity, which I mostly did until I wore some outdated prescription glasses. But in truth I feared of missing out on a possibility. Thus, I used this strategy most of my life, I took whatever chance was thrown my way. This approach helped me encounter an array of positive experiences, stressful ones, and a lot of sleepless nights. But at forty-one years of age, I am now understanding what is best for me. So, in the next few months I plan on evaluating what I want from my MSSW Program and how best to get there. Thinking it over, I am finally learning to work the count and swing at the best pitch to hit.
