November

           It was a tough month, it has been a tough year. I wonder at times if I chose the right topic. The more I research, the less sure I am that I can help people. I don't think I will be able to do this job. Abused children are broken. No matter how much you do, you can never bring them back wholly. Can we really function like any other person? Shift the past to benefit us? I feel like this been a really tough month in my life and this is the time when I'm stressed and sad. Too much went on. I just need to step away for a day and look at this from a fresh perspective.

EQ

Content

1.  I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.
2. 
      a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
              It doesn't meet the criteria because it could be a recitation of facts or a list. 
      b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
              This meets the rule of 3 criteria because it calls for breadth and depth of research, you can argue some              points and it's specific. 
      c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
              This meets the rule of 3 criteria because it calls for breadth and depth of research, you can argue some              points and it's specific.
 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
               This doesn't meet the criteria because it would be a recitation of facts.
3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.     
  
How does a social worker provide the necessary  mean for an abused child continue life as normally as they can?

Random Conversation

     I talked with Yvonne Gratianne about social work. She was talking about how you couldn't be emotionally attached to any case. It can bring you down since you can't save anyone. I must have been with the world on my shoulders that she told me this. I can see the basis of this but I couldn't see why she wanted to work in this field. She told me that she wanted to make a difference at least in one life.
    I thought about what she said and I realized that she's a strong person. She oversees cases like these and does well in her job. On the other hand, I'm scared of my past. I'm a silly mess. Mrs. Gratianne talks about her job and told me that her job teaches her to enjoy her life to the fullest.  I'll  try to remember that I can't save everyone.
