I started the program for professional counseling in 2004. I finished the coursework in 1 year, and spent a year doing a part-time internship. At the end of that year, I took my written comprehensive test.
Then I just stalled for 2 years.
First it was because I was disgusted with the fact that in my district, I have now applied for ten counseling positions and have landed 1 interview. (5 of those positions, as I think I've mentioned before, were at the school where I teach, and eight of those positions haven't garnered an acknowledgement that I even applied.
Then I was kind of waylaid by my father's suicide, and also training for Ironman Louisville.
Then it was just kind of an apathetic laziness.
Finally I said to myself, Jeez, if I can drag my butt across the finish line at Louisville, then I can write a paper.
Thanks for all the encouragement!
