Happy Holidays + Goals for 2024

[tuesday_morning]

 

A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone I know here on Dreamwidth! This year sure has been something, for better or worse, but we all made it. That's something to celebrate.

This year, I lost a job but I also got new positions afterwards, so I'm grateful for that. I'm not homeless right now and I have food, so that's something else I want to be thankful for. Also, I have friends and family that have been here for me when times were the toughest. That's something that has helped me to see that I don't have to be doing life all on my own, like I've been trying to do this entire time. Maybe this upcoming year, I should spend more time paying everyone back for all they've done for me. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to make a list of my goals for 2024.

MY GOALS FOR 2024

• Spend more time with my friends and family
• Finish a "Read What You Own" reading challenge
• Put away a good amount of money in savings
• Pay off my financial debts
• Graduate from graduate school to become a social worker
• Become more financially literate
• Learn to coordinate meals at home
• Become more assertive and less unsure of myself

What are some of your goals for 2024?

Congrats on getting closer to becoming a social worker! I feel like it's a profession that suits you very well :)

Thank you! As of today, I've finished my first three days at my internship, and I have to say that things have been really good so far. The job itself seems pretty simple, but I assume that it's going to pick up a bit as time goes on. :)

Omg congrats!!! It's nice that you're getting a soft launch into how things work. During one of my internships I was thrown into the wolves immediately :')

Thank you! And I agree, I'd rather get a soft launch than getting thrown straight into the work. That being said, my next task to work on is getting an agreement between my agency and my school to allow me to use the company vehicles to transport clients to and from appointments and such. It would be incredibly helpful for me to do that as opposed to always sitting in the passenger's seat not being able to do much of anything while we're struggling to get things situated and in order during the day.
