The Transitions of Life

When I woke up on my first day at CASA, I had strong back-to-school vibes. Transitions are fascinating and they characterize our life as children. As we become older, we go through the grades, each one serving as a rite of passage toward adulthood. Those transitions are steady and comfortable. After that, life becomes less predictable. Being a working adult and making changes is very personal. Our experience of transitions is influenced by a variety of elements. Whatever our "why" for making a change, we need to get over the uncertainty of what follows next.

I've previously moved into thrilling new phases of my life. I'm capable of doing it again. It was unsettling for me to go to a new job, but I'm happy to have a great team that is encouraging. My teammates have been more than glad to clarify topics, answer concerns, and work with me; in addition, my director has shown that she is willing to assist me in any way possible to ensure that I feel comfortable. 

Even though I have trouble asking for help, I know that it is there when I need it and I am very grateful for that. As time goes on, I will be able to reflect back on how far I've come.
