Hello,
          My name is Chrisline Felius, I am 28 years old and I am the youngest of 4 children. I was born in Haiti and have been living here in the U.S for the past 13 years. I spent my days here in the U.S living in Brockton, MA until I moved to Taunton, MA 2 years ago. I enjoy reading, hanging out with my friends and family, traveling and exploring new things. I am known to be straight forward, unpredictable, optimistic and multitask- orientated. 
         I know this sounds cliche, but it is what it is and it is the truth. I find myself in Social Work simply because I enjoy helping people. Nothing brings me no greater joy than knowing that I helped someone and I made a difference, regardless how small it might be. I also love Social Work because it is one of the broadest field there is and it is impossible to move away from it. So knowing myself and know how I can at times get easily bored if I am not challenged, I can always move on to the next thing, and yet, still doing what I love. I find social work practice with communities and organizations very interesting because they really go hand in hand, like a web really, when I think about it. This semester, I hope to learn how to better navigate the relation in social work practice with communities and organizations, to better under the full impact and togetherness they have. I have had many great classes and I believe a professor who knows and love the matter he's teaching, interesting books, motivated students and participatory style are those components to having a great class, hence meeting the set goals and expectation for that class. I am looking forward to a great semester.   
         If I could have a magical power, it would have to be being able to be in different places at the same time and if I could solve one major problem it would have to be poverty, which I find to be the root of many, if not all of the social problems.
