Rather than treat this as a handicap, though, I think it can be used to the advantage to serve my future clients by putting their best interest as the primary consideration in any decision that need to be made.
In terms of value conflict, I don't think there will be any in when providing services to those who are vulnerable. Instead, I believe that the placing the welfare of others above my own is an overarching value that I have in my life, which is essential and should be inherent in any social-work professional and practitioner.
6. What do you consider your personal strengths and limitations in terms of your development as a professional social worker? What qualities do you possess which prepare you for graduate social work (insight, intuitiveness, self-awareness, etc.)?
As a young professional, my drive to continually strive to do something better is a personal strength that I believe I have. My yearning to be of service, especially to the youth, elderly, and those who are considered socially vulnerable in urban areas is also another strength that will certainly help me in endeavoring to become the best professional social worker that I can be.

To finance my education, I have enlisted the financial backing of both my father and my fiance, which I consider as a measure of the degree of social and familial support that I have in this undertaking for my professional advancement.
8. If applicable, discuss any current personal issues or limitations which may impact your participation in the social work graduate curriculum and field work.
The only limitation that I can think of, which may hinder my full participation in the course and field work will be my complete reliance on the funding that my father and fiance are able to provide. However, notwithstanding this limitation, I am willing to explore other possibilities that will help me overcoming any possible obstacle such as availing of scholarships or other financial assistance that will help me through graduate…
Social Work Statement of Purpose While some people may be able to point to a distinct time or place in their lives when they knew how they wanted to make their livelihood, for others, the path to a profession cannot be mapped so precisely. My motivation to seek a Master's Social Work (MSW) degree is rooted in diverse experiences in both my personal and occupational lives. I grew up in a family

The authors create their research hypothesis based on prior research; however, much prior research
