Third and final in Savannah series, continued here... Over the last year, my goals in life have changed a bit as well. I still want to be a therapist
and help kids, but I have expanded on my vision about how that could work. I would love to do something with RJ because I feel like my skills and the
RJ principles match really well. I would love to do something with drama and acting.
I feel so much more confident in the skills that I have now, especially in my acting and facilitating. I also really want to travel. I have been bitten
by the travel bug and everyone knows it! That’s how much I’ve been talking about it recently! If I could have it my way right now through my career
eyes, I would mash everything up into one.
I would like to have my MA in psychology, possibly have my own business that has to do with therapy but also incorporate the skills and principles
of RJ into my practice. I would be an active member in an RJ program, do photography as a hobby outside of work and I would be out in the real
world performing in big plays. I also hope to travel as much as I can—seeing Ireland is definitely the first stop.
As you can see, RJ has really helped me grow and become a better person. I live by the RJ principles as much as I can, knowing I am still a teenager.
I do everything with a positive attitude and I do it with pride. I would really encourage anybody who has an interest in peace making, helping
the community, being a leader in the face of conflict or changing the world, to knock on your local Restorative Justice door and get involved!
It could be a life changing move…but the choice is up to you.
