A blog post from SOLES MA in Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling Student Ambassador,\u00a0Camille Ramirez<\/a><\/span><\/em>
\nThis coming Spring 2018, I will be taking my last few remaining classes of the semester,
\ncontinuing the last half of my year-long Practicum at a severe mental illness clinic,
\ngraduating with a Master\u2019s Degree from a 3-year program at University of San Diego,
\nand hopefully be on my way to acquiring a career that I\u2019ve dreamt about for many years.
\nPersonally, it\u2019s a lot to look forward to, and unfortunately, a lot to worry about as well.
\nEvery new year, I look forward to the many possibilities and events that the year can
\nbring. Depending on the year, but especially this year, I feel an array of emotions
\nranging from excitement to fear, and everything in between. I have lived in San Diego
\nfor about 3 years now, after moving here from Los Angeles to attend USD and attain a
\ndegree for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Honestly, these 3 years have been both
\nlong and short, long in that there has been lots of growth, memories, and experiences
\nthroughout, but also short in that it feels like the time just flew by. I\u2019m excited to
\ngraduate, but I am also frightened. Will someone hire me? What do I do now? Where do I
\ngo next?
\nAs I try to plan and prepare as best I can for what\u2019s next, these thoughts naturally bring about concern, dread and fear. It\u2019s my personal folly in worrying so much. But in the
\nmidst of all this trepidation, I paradoxically find myself realizing the importance of
\nembracing the moment. Yes, later this year I would have to apply to many jobs, it won\u2019t
\nbe easy and I will be stressed, but right now, I am content with what I have already accomplished and that should be enough for now. I accept all these thoughts and
\nfeelings; I learn from them but not have them hold me back. I have already learned so
\nmuch in these past years, but the best part is that I am constantly learning \u2013 with my peers, about my clients, about the magic of therapy, about myself. So while I naturally fall back on worrying about many things in life, I am thankful I am able to step back, take whatever life throws at me and take it all in. The future is unknown, but one thing is
\ncertain, it all starts in the present.
\nHappy New Year and Good Luck to You in 2018!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
