Student Social Workers' Life
Reach is great so far. I'm really enjoying myself.. the social workers and the counsellors in the centre are really friendly and warm.. and they don't really treat us as students at all! they treat us as one of them, and for that i'm really thankful.
Boss is great. His name is Johnson and my guess is that he's probably in his 50s already. Used to work at Care Corner under Dr Sim, but now he's the Executive Director of Reach. Very experienced worker, and i'm glad he's willing to trust me with cases. I'm going to handle a case next week, right from session 1. Meanwhile, I've been tasked to do my research on the possible causes of the issues at hand, and to write a hypothesis of my initial assessment. In addition, I have to plan the course of the first session with the client and discuss it with my boss on Monday. This is exciting.
One person that really strikes me is Lay Tshin. She's this lady who works as the receptionist. Her daughter is already entering uni age, so u can roughly guess Lay Tshin's age. I dunno why, but there's this air of humility and quietness around her that really seems to emanate from her table at the reception. Although the rest of the workers don't talk to her very much, but i can sense her doing her part just to keep the office going and running and taking calls. I should chat more with her. :)
Not been doing much outside of work actually. At 6pm I'm usually so tired I can't wait to get home, have dinner and get a good sleep before the next day comes again. When I get home, I just go online and chat with people, especially those whom I may not get to chat with very much in the near future. Maybe I really should start my drum lessons. :)
Junchao invited me to play the drums for the saturday night worship service. Honestly, I'd love to. But I cant make it for this sat's one as there's nusha AGM. Mayb another time. :) And oh yarh, I might hafta juggle for the Bishan RC's block party. I mean JUGGLE. Yes the thing you do with 3 balls in your hands.
