Seventh Blog - Tatum T.

So next week is my last week of volunteering. I volunteered at my moms work. She works at Family Counseling Center as a supervisor. Basically there, I can interact with clients in PSR and get experience with people who have mental health. This summer has been pretty great spending my time there. At first I was really nervous since I didn't know what to expect but eventually I grew to enjoy working there. So I've decided to work there next summer and on days we're off on during the year. Since now I realize I'm actually going to genuinely miss them. The staff were sweet, they'd laugh like hyenas the moment you look away, and do a bunch of arts and crafts. Not only did I learn more about mental health, but I learned that people who have mental health, aren't so different from us. They're basically normal people living through their every day lives just like us. I also learned new things, like coping skills for my anxiety and ocd, I learned how to make wreaths and it became a new hobby of mine. Wreaths are pretty easy to make and I made two in one day. It's really fun and relaxing, in honesty it might be a new coping skill of mine to use in spare time. But, I also have been learning that, people aren't so bad when you get to know them. Well some can be bad but not everyone is a bad person, no matter how different we are. Wow it sounds like some kind of thing you would hear from the breakfast club or something. I also found out yesterday that my costume for the masquerade has been shipped!!! Which means I'll get to go to the masquerade which is super cool!!! I have to focus on my summer work, I have about four more blogs to do. I'm gonna have to go ahead and comment on everything since I've lost track of the comments. I also realized that the chapters in that book are actually a lot longer so I may spend an entire day just to finish it. I hope everyone's having a wonderful summer! It's been nice to learn more about you guys, and I can't wait to start school with you guys again soon. Whoop Whoop one more year until senior year!!  - Tatum T.
