Confession....

So blogging isn't the easiest thing in the world to me which is probably evident by my lack of posts.  I've never been a blogger and really the only blogs I've ever followed were friend's personal blogs about their travels or family events/children's photos so I've never really noticed the true impact they can have when used for building awareness and advocacy.  Although I'm not in the Social Work program, I'm trying to train myself to think more like an activist for the purposes of this blog and it seems each time I hear a story on the news or read an article that I think would be great to blog about, I'm preoccupied and don't have time to stop and write something.  When I do have time, I realize that the blog I'd like to write requires further digging and research so I actually have some depth and content for my entry and then I get discouraged and end up not writing.  Excuses, excuses but it's all true.  Probably the same claims we could all make but the rest of my classmates seem to be coming up with some great content.  So....I just wanted to take a moment to apologize that I've been slacking on this whole blogging thing.  I'll do my best in these two weeks of class to be more tuned in to this and challenge myself to continue this blog beyond this semester in an effort to continue spreading social awareness of injustice and empowering others to create change.
