Personal Statement
Social work has been and will always remain the most viable career choice for me because of my genuine concern for both social justice and human dignity. Further, I also possess a deep desire to impact positively on the lives of others. Social work provides me with a viable platform to accomplish this. In my case, I regard playing an active role in the restoration of the social functioning capacity of groups or individual persons a personal calling. That is what gives me the greatest feeling of self-fulfillment. It can be noted that some individuals are called to serve their countries as doctors, police officers, teachers etc. In their own special way, they impact positively on the lives of others be it in the enhancement of security, knowledge or even the health and well being of others. I believe my calling is to serve the community and by extension the entire world as a social worker. In so doing, I will be able to play an active role in alleviating the suffering of others. This is where my real passion lies. A bachelor's in social work (BSW) will enhance my understanding of human behavior...
It is through this that I will be able to effectively discharge my duties as a professional social worker.
It is important to note that in the past, I have engaged in quite a number of activities most of which highlight my interest in social work. My resolve to work in the social work field was strengthened during my stint as an office assistant in a psychiatric hospital in the period between June 2004 and May 2011. Occasionally, I would be called upon to offer my assistance either to individuals suffering from various mental disorders or their families. It is during this time that I realized nothing could offer me greater satisfaction than making a difference in other people's lives. As highlighted elsewhere in this text, I have always possessed a strong desire to help especially when the suffering of others is brought about by circumstances far beyond their control. However, it was while working at the psychiatric hospital that I realized I could indeed play a bigger and more prominent role in social work by pursuing a bachelor's in social work (BSW). Although I had to resign from my position when my husband (who happens to be in the military) was moved, I attribute much of my interest in social work to my having worked at this psychiatric institution.
Although I owe my resolve to pursue a career in social work to my stint at the psychiatric hospital, I have always been keen to help others. From quite an early age, my mother taught me the importance of ensuring that the needs of others always came before my wants. With that, I learnt to forego my own wants so as to attend to the needs of others. For instance, instead of buying an extra pair…
Social Work Exercise The imaginary recording helped me to examine the language that I use commonly, and listen for embedded biases. I noticed that I assumed that the client could hear me and see me, rather than acknowledge the fact that the client could be deaf or visually impaired. It might be helpful to establish immediately whether the client requires assistive technologies when understanding the types of services we provide. I also
Social work played a role in these processes in different ways, based on the existing perception about women and femininity. The profession itself has a range of ideological origins. Some people suggest that it is a continuance of the benevolent and charitable traditions linked to the functions of various Churches; others search for its roots in social movements, especially in the labor agencies and the women's movement. Various welfare regimes
On this front, I was instrumental in the identification of an existing opportunity for the company to further enhance its revenues through the sale of Bath Products. Today, thanks to my efforts and those of my colleagues, our company is regarded a model for all other distributors of bath products. Like it has been the case with my previous accomplishments, this particular event also presented me with a valuable
Social Work With Individuals Describe the preliminary phase of the counseling work and the beginning (or contracting) phase. As Shulman demonstrates, each phase of the work of counseling requires its own specific skills and techniques, and all phases have their own importance and necessity within the counseling process as a whole. Each phase has a skill set and knowledge base required by the counselor for the success of the work of counseling.
Becoming a physician's assistant was not an easy decision. I knew that the work would cut into my social life and take up most of my free time. I knew that I would have many sleepless nights as I balanced my studies with my job. However, the more I delved into the actual work of being a physician's assistant, the more I wanted to succeed. My accomplishments pale in comparison
Children should have the values of what they learn in the school curriculum reinforced on the field. The spatial relations and kinesthetic knowledge required to throw a ball touches upon what students learn in science; the ethics of sports figures and steroid use are addressed in social studies; the philosophical and spiritual importance of sports is discussed in great literature. Students can even have math skills reinforced by keeping
