As I have been going to school, I found the passion for wanting to people that needed help; I hated to see people upset or unhappy about a personal problem. Seeing people like that made me realized that I want to be a person that will put a smile on someone’s face and if I could help in any way, I would do it. I knew that if I did such thing, it would bring happiness. As I made it to high school and finishing high school, I thought I wanted to be a relationship therapist because I used to be so…

At a very young age I knew that helping other people was what I was destined to do. I dabbled in law and nursing but, never felt comfortable or as confident as I did when I finally explored social work. My skills of empathy, problem solving, and communication allow for me to aid and advocate for others. I plan to attain my bachelor’s in social work, pass my licensing exam, and enlist in the Peace Corps. I think that not only are social workers needed here in the states but in other countries as…

My previous literature entailed me utilizing psychodynamic theory as a practice technique to assist my client base with addressing their barriers.

This method empowers the consumer by utilizing their…

Volunteer Experience Reflection I dedicated fifteen hours to the Head Start Program. For 8 weeks I helped in the classroom and met 25 beautiful children. Each child was unique in their own way. The Head Start Program is predominately White but that didn’t change how they interacted with one another. My experience with Head Start was special and I love to volunteer there again. Services Provided When the students were at breakfast I would sit with them and talk with them. I helped clean up…

My first experience with a LCSW gave me a strong desire to never become one. This was due to the fact that my abused best friend was scared that my mother had reached out to CPS for help. While individuals interested in social work may say that their career goals stem from the fact that they would like to “help people”, I understand that social workers cannot change people’s lives, but people can change their own life. And social workers often have the keys and the ability to teach an individual…

At the same time, Betsy confesses that she has been taking…

Microfinance has both pros and cons just like everything else. Microfinance can make it possible for people to move up and out of poverty and better provide for their families. Microfinance also empowers women and helps the economy. It could also make it so that some people are publicly shamed because they are unable to pay back their loans. Microfinance is a good thing because it makes it possible for people to better the lives of themselves,families, and their communities. Microfinance…
