Arrivals and Departures Whether you've just arrived or you're going away for a while, let us know here!
It's Rylan. It's been almost 5 years since I left TH so not sure who left remembers me. I held various volunteer roles back when I was last active (LHO, HL, Buddy, Newsletter editor and Forum Mod).
Back then I was in HS and starting my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. I've since graduated with a bachelor's in Human Development and currently working towards my Masters of Social Work. I hope to get to meet/catch up with everyone again and hopefully rejoin staff in the future!

What made you switch to a different degree? Human Development sounds interesting.
I actually switched a lot during my bachelor's (education-business-human development). I chose to get into Social Work for my masters since I couldn't really find a graduate-level human development program and concepts are still very similar. I knew I wanted to help people, I just identified that I would like working with children in a supportive aspect!

Sometimes you have to switch in order to find the subject you're interested in the most. I think what you're aiming to do will definitely benefit children!
How is the social work program? I was considering getting a dual degree in Public Health and Social Work, but I just stuck with public health instead. Maybe one day when I'm rich I'll get a doctorate in public health and a Master's in Social Work
Oh, you are not useless
We are just
Misguided ghosts
I remember seeing you about I think! Welcome back, and good luck with your masters, it sounds like a very rewarding area to be studying towards. Hope to see you around the forums again soon!
Happy to meet a veteran TeenHelper, and even happier to see you back here! I'm Mallika and I joined TeenHelp last Jan, a year ago. I'm currently finishing my undergrad degree and hoping to go to grad school later this year.
It's to hear about your various qualifications - hearty congrats!! I think it's lovely that you want to work in an area that enables you to help others
Looking forward to getting to know you through the site!
