Personal Narrative: My Goals As A Social Worker

I think your goals are very attainable. I like how you want to work with the elderly, too many times we forget about the elderly. I hope you are able to make the goals you have set out for yourself. For what you want to do, I think you are in the right field of study.

Pamela,
I think if you continue to apply yourself as well as manage your time there would be no reason why you couldn’t obtain a B or higher. Your goals are very realistic. You can do it you will do well as a social worker.

I am passionate about working with this population because I know American Sign Language and I feel a connection to the community. Learning ASL took a long time and allowed me to be engaged in many events in the deaf community.
