"Grace Winter. Gulf Coast Community Care. Go ahead and contact Sue Turnbeau regarding pursuing your senior internship there."
Ahhhhh! I received my 450 hour internship placement for my last semester of my undergraduate studies NEXT SEMESTER!!!!!! cant believe its almost done! When my professor was handing out little slips of paper with our placements, i was so nervous and excited. When i read what was on the paper, i threw my hands up in pure release of anxiety. I think i let go of the deepest of deep breathes i could have mustered.
The easiest way to explain Gulf Coast Community Care is to say that they are basically DCF (Department of Children and Families). They do foster care, adoptions, home visits, court visits, groups, interventions, ect. They serve in many different areas and I am eager to learn the field from the front lines and getting experience in so many areas. They are based in Mulberry and serve Polk, Hardee, and Highlands counties.
The interesting thing is that my first semester at SEU, one of my classes required i do a 40 hr field observation where i had to shadow in an agency and it was Gulf Coast! When the semester was over, my supervisor said, "So, youre coming back for your senior internship, right?!" I laughed and replied with a "we'll see".
Now, here we are, a year a half later and im going back for my senior internship! i cant believe it! I am majority thanking the Lord for what he has done by setting my path in front of me from the very beginning and guiding me every step of the way. And now, of course, my mind cant help but fast forward and want to plan everything in my life for the next year (at least) from marriage to a job to where i'll live and grad school. I can't help but hope that ill get offered a job when its all said and done. But hey, the Lord is faithful and i choose to trust. I have to...if not ill go even crazier than i feel that i already am...
taking a moment to celebrate in the midst of complete solicitude,
the human grace.
