So What's My Story?

After 3 years of being a poor social worker (the work I loved, the pay I didn't), I decided it was time to go back to school and get my Master's! After weighing my options (school far away from home, or school in a different country that is only an 8-hour drive from home) I decided to try my luck in British Columbia, Canada.

For a year I lived in Surrey, BC while attending Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC. However, as the final component of my work toward my Masters degree in Criminology I have moved back to the states to complete an internship at an Independent Living Program for youth leaving the foster care system.

Here is the story of my adventures as a graduate student in a "foreign" country as well as my current work back in the states.

This Is What Jacob Does On A Snowy Day In Canada...

I'm reading 85 pages of the Youth Criminal Justice Act for one of my courses... he is currently playing a video game in which he is a tattooed escaped prisoner shooting people and stealing cars while wearing a cheerleader's outfit... he thinks it's hilarious... hmm... what it must be like to be a boy!
