My dream has always been to mentor , counsel & help others. Since I was in middle school, I was the person people came to for advice.Friends, family, neighbors, children, Adults – even married adults would come to me for advice. Funny now that I think of how young I was. Somehow, I always knew where the person was coming from, what they meant, what they were feeling & how it felt to be in their shoes. They could be a total stranger and immediately would start opening up to me about very private experiences. Such as , abuse, financial difficulties, marital problems, miscarriages, etc. I feel amazed how quickly people feel comfortable with me and trust me. I have always kept everyones secrets and always give the best advice I can possibly give.I would find so much purpose & gratitude when they would come back and say that my advice helped them. I am grateful that God has provided me these skills, its something I am honestly born with. But Alas, I don’t hold a degree in Psychology/ Counseling. I wish I would have completed college and got my degree so I could professionally help counsel people in need, like refugees. I would love to do that. I wish references from friends , families, co-workers & face-to-face interviews would be enough for me to get a position in helping others. I would do it unpaid. I just believe that everyone has been born with a gift and they are responsible for helping society with their gift. I wish I could help, I know I would be helpful if some organization would just give me a chance.
