mission statement

I will wake up each day and put on a smile.
I will keep an open-mind.
I may not be big and powerful, but I will make the world a better place by small and simple acts of kindness.
I will always try.
I will remember that there are little eyes out there that are looking for a role model - and I will be a good one.
I will always counteract the bad with twice as much goodness.
I will not turn away from a person in need.
I will be quick to right my wrongs.
I will manage my temper.
I will always remember to count my blessings.
I will strive to be kind to myself, to others, and to Earth.
When I fall, I will pick myself back up and keep climbing.
I will remember always that life is a gift, and there is simply no room to forget that.

Who Am I?

My name is Erin Robinson. I am a wife, mother, and a part-time student at Utah Valley University. I am anticipating to receive my Associates of Science in the Spring of 2011. After which, I will be working towards earning my Bachelor's Degree in Substance Abuse Counseling. I am passionate about raising awareness and the prevention of substance abuse and other behavioral disorders in my community. Eventually, after gaining several years of experience working with a respected company, I would like to open up my own practice. I love observing the world around me and learning about and from the people I interact with. I love to read about new concepts, and work hard to apply my experience and education to my daily life. I would say I have a strength of accepting others and trying to view things from various perspectives before reacting to situations. My weakness is that I am shy, but I remind myself that stepping out of my comfort zone won't hurt me! Overall, I'm a kind, open-minded, passionate individual who loves learning and giving my best to the world around me.

Things I have learned about interviews:

1. Your past behaviors are observed by interviewers to help them determine what your future behaviors will likely be. So, show your best self.

2. Dressing up is never a bad idea, even if it feels awkward for some jobs.

3. Write a thank you email or note.

4. If you cannot come up with an experience they have asked about, you can ask to return to the question. Or...be prepared to come up with something that is relative in some way and of value to the interviewer.
