Yup, this is what I do. Introduction.

My name is Glencairn, most people call me Glenny. I decided to go back to school 2 years ago when I was working with at-risk youth out in the desert. I spent my days with them working out the problems they faced back home and through that process I realized I could no longer hold onto the beliefs that were holding me back either. You tell people what they are capable of enough, and you start to believe it for yourself.
I'm a pre-med student and plan on getting my doctorate in physical therapy, somewhere warmer than here I hope. I am fascinated by the human beings ability to heal, both physically and mentally. For a job I work at the Boise Co-Op. For fun, I am a volunteer EMT for Kuna Fire and Rescue. My goal is to get on somewhere as a fire fighter, and Kuna is a good place to get my foot in the door. Not to mention it's a rad agency! I enjoy doing things that are "hero" oriented. Well, as long as there's an element of excitement anyway. Meaning, I enjoy doing things that are of use and helpful to others. I live with my boyfriend, Griff, who is amazing, our cat, Freya, and our dog, Bodie. He is a great dog who was named after Patrick swayze's character in PointBreak. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
With all that said, the main reason I want to work with this service agency is because it is an opportunity to work with folks who are taking there own lives seriously and working towards a goal to better their own lives even if they come from a place with tough obstacles. They are willing to take advantage of an opportunity.

  1. Hi Glenny:

    There're a lot of interesting things I could respond to in your post! First, I think it's amazing that you used to work with at-risk youth: this gives you a valuable perspective, and I'll be curious to see how your experience with the HEP program is similar too/differant than this. On a more personal note, I live a few blocks from the co-op and I love the place!

    I'm looking forward to a busy and productive semester. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns going forward.
