Day 13

     Today was a very short day it seemed. I was not there any less time than usual, but it was just one of those days where you are just working on something and the time just seems to fly by. They had me work on creating flyers for the Clery Act Seminars that they have throughout the year. People can sign up and go to them. My part was creating the flyers for the different cities, changing the dates and the times if they were different from last years.
     Once I was done creating those flyers Amy had me watch a video that was created by the organization PAVE (prevention, awareness, victim, empowerment). It dealt with sexual assault. It was about these three girls who had been sexually assaulted and how their life was after it happened. They talked about the experience and what happened.
     Then it went on to the things that they did not do that they should have done. Like called the police, told someone, not showered, and gone to the hospital. They went on to say how their life was changed by the experience and what they and their family and friends went through after the assault happened. At first it was a really sad video but as the video went on and showed how the girls were able to move forward in their lives and over come what happened to them through the help of family and friends it became empowering. Making me realize that being able to help people was why I wanted to be a psychology.
