After being able to see so many members of my family this summer, the fall season has kept me pretty busy. Due to my schedule I have not had the opportunity to see as much of the family and thought I would post a quick update of what I have been up to. As most of you know I have been working towards finishing my master degree in recreation therapy. In pursuit of this I have been spending the vast majority of my time working as an intern at a location in Emigration Canyon known as Camp Kostopulos. Camp Kostopulos is a camp for individuals with disabilities. I work with individuals with many different disabilities both physical and mental. In the fall and winter we run community based recreation programs, helping to hope open up communities to our participants. It has been a very interesting experience and has allowed me to work with adults, teens and children with disabilities. I have enjoyed the opportunity to learn and work with this population.
As many of you also know, I have been doing my best to date. Even Melanie has helped out by setting me up on a blind date with one of her roommates this fall. So far, I have not met anyone that I have started a relationship with, but I have had the opportunity to meet many incredible girls. Last night I had a wonderful date when Jewell, one of my friends from BYU and I, attended La Traviata, an opera, at the Capitol Theater. It was a lot of fun, and we will see...
Other than that life is pretty much school and work. I am enjoying my classes at the University of Utah, and am anticipating applying to Doctoral programs in counseling psychology this winter, and hope to report I will be starting programs by next fall.
I have really enjoyed being around the family again and look forward to seeing everyone over the upcoming Holidays, hopefully my schedule will slow enough to allow this. I wish you all the best this fall season and hope to hear from everyone via the blog soon.
