Thank you for your reply. To answer your question, the University I attend is James Cook University, in Townsville Australia. I am a mature aged student (it took me a long time to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up ;) I am studying Psychology and Criminology with a view to initially working in probation & parole here in Australia & I have 6 months of studies to go before I graduate.
& you're no different from anyone else, we don't generally take on information or advice from others until we are ready to hear and accept it, & that makes our progression as humans so slow. But as long as we get there eventually, and don't give up on those that take a little longer, I think that's what's important. :)
I'm a little busy at the moment with studies, work (& being a single Mum) so if you don't mind I'm happy corresponding with you via Btb for now.
I'd love to hear more about your work release program. What sort of work you do exactly? & what you get out of it personally? I'm glad to hear your time is not idle. I think we're all better off if we can use our time constructively. I'd also like to know whether or not you encounter negative attitudes from people while you're working and if so, how you deal with that?
Take care. & I look forward to hearing from you again soon.
