My first year working for All-In!, while also in the LMU Credential program, has been a myriad of adjectives. I could write an entire entry with description words alone and I would barely scratch the surface. The best way to summarize it would be, as one of my professors so eloquently put it, learning to fly a plane while building it at the same time. As most people know, working within the Seneca world is euphoric exhaustion. My first years as a mental health counselor, however, pale in comparison to my first year as a Special Education Teacher. Not to say that working directly with mental health is easy; I have the scars to prove the toll it takes. However, appropriate and desired behaviors were much easier to identify. I didn’t realize how much information there is in the world to learn as a young person. We, as teachers, are expected to provide a majority of that information. It’s mind blowing!

That being said, working with Seneca and LMU has been an incredible way to get my footing in this new world. When I first began my classes, I was worried my professors and I would not be able to connect because of my unique experience working for Seneca. Imagine that relief when I realized the professors had partnered with Seneca before and some had worked for Seneca themselves. Of course, I cannot go without mentioning the amazing professors and teachers from Teach For America who has been a crucial part of shaping my own teaching philosophy. It’s a beautiful community that we share. It has not been a crystal staircase, but thanks to the people around me, I’m still motivated to make the climb. 
​
I have always admired the mental health work that Seneca does. I’m hopeful and excited to see the direction that the agency takes regarding special education.
