I Can Feel It

I've been surprised at my level of interest in all things related to school social work. I nixed becoming a teacher ages ago and assumed that meant all things school-related as well. But it keeps cropping up... in the things I'm interested in... in the things that get me fired up... and in the paper topics I choose.

I'm in a class titled "Social Work in a Public School Setting" and tonight was our second class. We discussed the school structure, federal legislation, funding and many of the other concerns of the School Social Worker.

And the whole time, I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach. It made me think of the feeling I get when I really like a guy... or when I think a guy might like me back... or even just when I'm near him.

It's like this knot in your gut... telling you how much this thing means to you. It feels like a physical representation of something that may be hard to deal with and extremely difficult to understand, but there's nothing you'd rather do than spend time and energy working it all out...

So I guess that's the verdict. I'm going to be a School Social Worker ...because I can feel it.
