I once had dreams of serving as an Army soldier, but was told that I was ineligible due to a chronic illness that will require medication indefinitely. I was disappointed, but decided that I would, instead, pursue a career in digital media, a passion of mine. As an incoming freshman, I was assigned to take introductory art classes that I disliked immensely. The three hours I spent drawing a piece of fruit and molding unique sculptures out of clay made me realize that this was not a career that I…

I have always been the type of person that wanted to do something for others. Whether its making an impact on a person’s life or making a child smile, just knowing I’ve made a difference in the world and that I can help someone is something that makes me feel good about myself.

My personal understanding of the social work profession is quite vast. Social workers are making a difference in people 's lives by helping people solve and cope with problems in their everyday lives.

Regardless, I have to consider that my experience in this population has grown throughout my time at my internship. Honestly, when I began my…

However, my understanding of the social work profession is helping someone to make positive changes in his or her life that result in a better quality of life. This is also true when promoting the wellbeing of the community in a social context. Understanding of the social work profession, to…

Imagine for a moment you are sitting in a courtroom in a custody battle. The judge ruled for the child to stay with their mother, however you see by the look on the child’s face that a mistake was made. Taking the best interest of the child is the goal in every custody hearing. Every child deserves structure in their life and to be with people who love them. Sometimes the best thing which many times can be the hardest is for them to be separated from their parents. On the other…

The movie Cesar Chavez was extremely inspiring, especially for people that feel like they are unable to make a difference because they are only one person. The movie was able to show that with effort and advocacy there is the ability to stand up for what you believe in. The small group that was formed in the beginning was able to turn into a huge army of people working together in a “fight” against the same issue. They had a strong leader to follow, also. Without the guidance of Cesar Chavez,…
