Inside the House

July 15, 2010

Today I am feeling somewhat frustrated because I feel that all the hard work I have done in my lifetime boils down to whether a person likes me or not. My education, work ethics, morals, values, experience ... none of that matters!!! Only if a person likes me... that determines whether I get hired on a job. I just can't wrap my mind around that.

Hello again!  It's been a while I know, but I've been working on myself and trying to get back in stride.. On May 22nd and 23rd I traveled to Washington DC and attended a two day workshop at my Alma mater Howard University, re: preparing for the social work license exam. The Instructors were great!!  They came from the University of Utah. On Sunday, May 23rd I left the university with my study guide and a wealth of knowledge and I think that when I sit for the exam this time I will pass it with honors!  I plan to take the test sometimes in August.

Good Morning… this is Juanita again. Listen I know on last week I was pretty raw… but don’t be alarmed. It’s not time to call 911 or Sheppard Pratt. I am having no episodes of brief psychosis. I’m not in a psychotic state, in other words I am no danger to myself or others. But what I am is a woman who wants a chance at real living, not existing.

Juanita's blog March 10, 2010

Hi….it’s Juanita again.  I ‘m feeling really frustrated, busted and disgusted today. I have a question? What do you do when you do all you can? You put your best foot forward and you do all that you’ve learned in life … but still you are getting NO where. Is life trying to tell you something? Or maybe what you learned isn’t right, maybe you were taught wrong?
