About Me

Manic Monique
Hello. Welcome to my corner of the Internet. I was an educator for 7 years, working and teaching in K-12 schools. I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since 2007. Inspired by my own hospitalizations, I now want to be a social worker. I'm currently in grad school at Fordham University for my MSW (Master's in Social Work). Please read and leave comments! I hope you are both educated and entertained. And that you treat everyone you come into contact with kindly; "everyone's fighting a battle you know nothing about."
