INTRODUCTION
My name is Melissa Davies. Just some basic background about
me I am from California in the Bay Area. I came to BYU-Idaho originally as a
Music major wanting to go into Music Therapy. I then served a mission in Fort
Worth Texas. There I learned about the career of being a Child Life Specialist
(they work in hospitals helping children cope with stress. This is one of my
favorite videos showing what they do… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTcklclPAsI&feature=youtu.be).
Helping children cope with traumatic experiences has always been my long term
goal so this career was a perfect fit. I am now back at BYU-Idaho majoring in
Marriage and Family Studies. My hope is that with this educational background I
can bring the perspective of working with the whole family system into the
hospital.
PURPOSE OF THE BLOG
The purpose of this blog is to share with you the insights I
have gained from my Family Relations class here at BYU-Idaho. If you don’t know
about BYU-Idaho, it is a school founded by The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (also known as Mormons). Many of the things we talk about in
class are related to the religion. I will try to make sure I explain everything
that others not familiar with this church would not know.
DISCLAIMER
I’m very excited to start this blog, but a little nervous
too. I tend to be the person who doesn’t raise their hand in class until they
think they have something important and well formulated to say. Knowing that I
can’t be a perfectionist with this assignment bothers me, but I’ll make it
through assuming that you will be understanding of my faults. I know that I am
no expert at this field and may stand corrected many times. So take this blog
for what it is a student with no authority stating their developing opinion on
family matters J
That a great choice of what you want to do. Don't worry to much about being perfect. Blogs are a great way to be you and their is definitely more freedom in a blog than if you write for a journal.
