The difficult task about this assignment was to find a social worker that would allow me an opportunity to walk in their shoes. Conducting this interview in my opinion was a two head sword, for me it gave insight into a career path defines dignity and respect of the elderly and for the social worker it gave an opportunity for her to share in her shoes. I was relaxed in this interview because I wanted to learn without interrupting with my own experience of shadowing other social workers. I know that working in this environment is not an easy task, especially the ones who are trying to adapt in to this kind of lifestyle. I am so grateful for this opportunity to explore a day with a social worker that had so much compassion to work with this population.
