Oh What A Day!

Today was interesting. And while at the end of it I should be stressed, I'm not.

This week I started actually working as a BMS (Behavior Management Specialist), and I must say it is unlike any job I've ever had. I've had three clients in 1 week, but for the last two days, and tomorrow, I am working with my permanent client. My first day was my easiest, though I felt odd taking over someone else's client. Second day was a little difficult as I had a new client who was extremely hesitant to work with me. Then Wednesday was the roughest day yet, I met my permanent client and was given quite the introduction.

Today however I felt that I am doing my job well. My duties in my job are to help young people suffering from emotional/behavioral disorders manage they're behavior in an effective manner. Today, I did just that, and well! The success rate of the BMS program is about 35%, the chance that I will help my client overcome all of his problems is very slim, but today I felt like both he and I took a step towards that. Even though some of the issues I faced had the potential to be overwhelming, I left my job thinking that I made a difference.

My last blog was emotional, I apologize for the freak out. My past experiences have all led me to believe that long distance was the end all... but what Gilbert and I have is spectacular, whatever troubles we face we will work through them together. Neither of us will give up without a fight. For myself, I don't want him to go. But I want him to do what's best for him, and will be supportive every step along the way.

So there we go... a good update. My job gives me a feeling of accomplishment that I've been needing, I'm thinking clearly about my future in my relationship, and I'm finally doing theatre again! I'm happy with where I am at.
