Favorite Time at SCSU
The social work pinning ceremony! As much as I enjoyed my experience here at southern, my favorite part was finally getting to put a face to my peers and see them in person. Completely a BSW program completely virtual made things very challenging at times, but coming together for the first time ever and seeing everyone’s smiles really put my journey into perspective that I wouldn’t have been here without the support from my social work family.
What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I am going to miss being young and not knowing what’s next, and I’m going to miss the journey it took me to get here. Although it’s a bit of a love hate relationship with all the challenges it took me to get here, I am great full, and this feels so unreal! I am most excited for grad school, and my goal to obtain my MSW! As much as I am going to miss being young and not knowing what’s next, it’s because of this program that I know now exactly what I am supposed to do next. There is no doubt in my mind that I am on the right path, and I am excited for what’s next!
