I know that I would not be able to help them like they need it. If I had to meet some of their parents, I know I would say some things that I should not say as a social worker. I know that the best interest is for that child, and it is always the goal to reunify them with their parents. I would not be able to help a child, if I strongly believe that the parent should not get their kid back. Also, it is a lot of work in this field, and a lot of emotions would show from me. I would not be able to leave work at home, and I know I would not be generally happy working in this area of employment. My educational goal is to continue on my education towards my bachelor’s degree. As I complete this goal, I want to start working as a social worker. During my career, I plan to complete my master’s in social work. I want to obtain my master’s therefore I can work with the Veteran’s Association at some point in my career. I believe that I have tons of personal strengths that I can bring to the social work field. My strongest skill is that I am an active listener. This is important, because you have to be in engaged in every conversation so that they know you understand them. My other personal strengths is that I have self-awareness, empathy, and sensitivity to others. I am also a great organizer, and I have great time management skills. I also have critical thinking skills, which will be a great aspect for helping my clients. I feel that the challenges I will face in my areas of employment as a social worker will be the baby boomers. It will put a huge struggle on the entire healthcare system, because there will be more of them and less of us to help them. This will mean that we will have more client loads, and having to use time management at its best. The other challenge I will face is adapting to change, as I will have clients leaving and going. Helping the elderly population in nursing homes will mean that my clients will change every 6 months or so. I found that the most suprising thing is the salary for social workers. I do not think it is fair with how
