Introductions

Hey guys! I'm Jessica, but I go by Jess. My major is psychology and I'm a senior this year. I came into UT as a social work major but then switch to anthropology and then finally settled on psychology. However, after going a few semester without taking any more social work classes, I came to regret my decision to change majors and wished I would have continued as a social work major. Because it's too late in the game to go back to social work, I'm currently just minoring in it. I really enjoyed and see the value in community service. I was raised in a single parent household from a low socioeconomic background. My school system was one of the worse in the country (I'm originally from Compton, California) and I really enjoyed working with kids that attend inner city schools. I currently have about 200 hours at the boys and girls club in south Austin. I've done a few hours elsewhere but the major of hours of community service I've performed have involved children. I enrolled in this class because it seemed like a great opportunity to expand my experiences in other communities. I'm looking forward to this class and promise, the learning method is great!
