Welp, tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. (what a crappy time) I will be taking the BIG test to try and become a licensed social worker in Missouri. I have been studying since about March, taken a 2-day prep course in St. Louis, bought a useless study guide and spent nearly $500 for this thing so the pressure is on. I am so nervous. I'm not a good test taker. Please pray for me.
And you may be wondering what this has to do with South Africa. Well, one way is that while I have been studying I have been thinking about how I will/can apply various therapy techniques while working there, signs that may indicate abuse, or what is considered the most ethical way to handle certain situations. I'm excited to see how God will use the knowledge I have to serve there. Secondly, the *hope* is that when I get back and am looking for a job (and if you know of any open social work jobs, please let me know) that already having my license will make me more marketable. Not every social work job requires a license but I have already benefited greatly from just reviewing what I learned in 2 years and I think having a license shows the public that you are being held to a higher standard in some ways.
So, any prayers you would like to say for me between 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
And if I don't pass that just means I have to take it again when I get back. Not the end of the world.
Erica, I will pray for you! I assume that you will get the results today. Text or call me when you find out, please.
