Week 6

     Learning about Mental Health and the impact on family hurt, this is the one I have been impacted the most on. Losing someone to mental health struggles is full of sadness, guilt and for many Mormon families as well confusing and almost hopeless. That mother was talking about how she can just imagine herself being in the shoes of those mothers of the shooters. It made me sick, having someone in your life that you love so much that is that unstable. It is just sick, and it makes you want to just give up. It is seemingly impossible to know how to help someone with severe depression, often you find them distancing themselves from you and it hurts. But after talking about it, as a class it does help a lot to know how I can better start to understand and help the individuals and the families.

     With my Higher Wider Deeper project I am focusing on, just how long it will take me to get into the program. Planning out your life almost never works your favor it is nice to dream. With 4 more semesters here for my ECSE degree, then starting the pre requisites in Winter 2020, that means I need to be applied to it by the end of Spring 2020. There are only 2/4 of the schools that would let me start in the winter. So it most likely would start for me Fall of ’22.
