Me Again!

New semester and new schedule. Yay! Hello everyone my name is Tracy. I was previously in this class but had to leave it due to a change in my work schedule. However I am back and ready to go.



I grew up here in California and did live in the North East corner of Texas for several years. I graduated from Saugus High many moons ago and did not return to school for quite awhile. I held many jobs in the middle starting with a puppeteer at Magic Mountain. I have served fast food, answered phones, assisted a veterinarian and managed an office. I have to admit that the job that remains my favorite is the first one, puppeteer.



Currently I work and go to school. I live in Santa Paula, a town I really like. It has small town charm and everyone seems very nice. Today I work as a Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor. My main focus is adolescents and their families. It is my hope that I can make a difference in at least one teens life. This is an area that we as a society need to acknowledge requires some intervention early on.  There are many resources for families out there but it sure takes a lot to find them. 



I hope that with refocused energy I can complete my AA and then move on to a Masters in psychology. Again hoping to be of service to families with high risk teens. It is often a stressful job but on occasion I get to see a little change that I pray takes hold. I see my future is full of school and work but I would like to do a bit of traveling also.  That would be cool.



I am looking forward to this semester and to meeting all my classmates in the room. Hope everyone has a great one.
