Day Seven people!!!!

So today was another fairly uneventful day. I spent the morning sipping a coffee, checking email and putzing around on Facebook....Then I showered...that's a positive...lol, and off to practicum I went. So this evening at practicum I worked with a young girl who is on an independent program. She is not able to be involved in groups with the other girls in our program for reasons I will not get into. I've heard much about her from other staff and she has a long relationship with our program over the last 5 or so years. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but we had a really good evening. She opened up about some things, and we had a really great talk about her goals and dreams in life and where she would ultimately like to end up. She was really insightful about our conversations and really had a lot to contribute. I had a chance to speak with her clinician at the end of the night and he seemed pretty pleased with the outcome of our evening. This made me really happy. Being able to draw out this type of conversation from a girl who's done everything but give up on life and who seems to avoid any type of program she can. I left my shift tonight feeling really good about what she was able to accomplish. :)
