My parents have no money to give me. I want to try window shopping. I live with foster parents who are poor. I lost my biological parents. I prefer being alone. My last birthday celebration was when I was 3 years old. I can't afford a fish. I don't have a car. I'm far from public transportation.
I like hiking and watching the sunset. I turned 18 yesterday. I just got a pet betta fish as a birthday present from my parents. My favorite color is orange. My boyfriend broke up with me two months ago. I feel sad about my breakup. My boyfriend left me suddenly and he is weird. I will be attending college.
What do you plan to study in college? I've been thinking about becoming a Social Worker. I would love to work with children and families. I really appreciate the social workers who help me and my foster parents. They're all really good people. Do you think it would be difficult seeing people having a hard time like that? That is great to hear about your experience. It isn't always so positive, and that is one of the main reasons I am drawn to it. I want to create that positive space in such a trying time. It will definitely be a challenge to separate emotions. Do you keep in touch with any Social Workers from your past? Not really; they have a heavy caseload so they're usually very busy with the kids and families they're working with now. I think with work like that, it would be super helpful to have a lot of fun hobbies to do in your off time like video games or meeting up with friends. That's is a great suggestion! Do you have any favorite hobbies that help you escape or relax? Well I don't get to go out much with transportation and money being an issue, but I do really like to cook. It's not much of an escape but I get to be creative and then, best part, I get to eat whatever I made! That is the perfect hobby, and creativity is so fulfilling. Do you have a favorite dish that you make? It's a little boring but I like spaghetti. I guess it's a comfort meal. What's your favorite food? I'm not that great of a cook, but I am actually making spaghetti tonight. I'm all about the comfort foods since the breakup. Yeah, how are you doing with that? Are you over that jerk yet? I'm getting there. It just seemed so sudden and out of nowhere, but now that time has passed, I realize that there were signs. Like I said, he was weird. LOL
