During this time my mother was forced to leave with me and my two little sisters with nothing but a few clothes she packed. She had to get out quick because my father was extremely violent and ruthless. We were homeless and we had no money but life was still very kind to us. We were lucky enough to have people let us into their homes and they allowed my mom time to get back on her feet. We were assigned a social worker who not only was incredible to us but also spoke Spanish giving my mother the reassurance that an English speaking social worker might not have been able to give her. We left when it was very close to the holidays and I’m sure one of the biggest feelings of being a failing parent is not being able to give your children the Christmas you feel they deserve. That year we did not go without thanks to the social worker and all the kind donations given to her and their organization. This was when I became inspired to be a social worker but not just any social worker. I want to be another bi-lingual social worker so I can reach out not only to the English speaking community but as well as the Spanish speaking
