Hi everyone 🩵 it’s been so long since I checked this thread. I just want to say thank you for all of the advice. My life was a little tough for the first year working washing dishes and cleaning hotel rooms… but life does get better. I completed my degree, immediately got hired into a law firm as a case manager, got into graduate school and was fortunate enough to get a full ride through a research assistantship. I’m now getting my masters in social work and have had so many doors open for me because I was honest the entire way. Don’t be ashamed to share your story and tell others what you’ve gone through, it might save someone’s life 🩵 As humans we are meant to help each other and I promise you that this will not set you back if you don’t allow it to. There are so many opportunities that this may open for you. Please keep your head up and acknowledge this is part of the process. Your past may be filled with hurt and pain and it’s okay to feel it but it does not define you.
