"I'm so sorry I wasn't able to tell you all of this sooner," Elizabeth says. "I wish I had been stronger, but I just wasn't ready. But I'm ready now. I want to make up for lost time." Samantha nods. "I'm ready too," she says. "And I'm so glad you're getting the help you need. I want you to know that I love you, and I'm here for you." Elizabeth's eyes fill with tears.

"Another option you might want to consider is volunteering," Elizabeth says. "There are a lot of organizations that are looking for people to help with things like case management, advocacy, and direct service. You could gain experience in the field while still having a job that pays the bills." Samantha is intrigued by this idea. "I think that could be a great way to get started," she says. "I could get some experience and see if I really like it before committing to a degree program." Elizabeth nods. "I think that's a really smart approach," she says."You might also want to consider some of the skills you already have," Elizabeth says.

Think about the strengths you already have and how you could apply them to a career in social work." Samantha thinks about this. "That's a really good point," she says. "I'm a g

I'm hoping that with time, I'll figure out what to do."Samantha looks at her brother. "What do you think, Jimmy?" she asks. Jimmy looks th
