I am applying to your Bachlorette program in social work for the fall of 2015. After earning an associate’s degree in social work and another in interdisciplinary studies, I have decided that it is through these collective experiences that I have developed a deeper insight into the role of a social worker and the transformative support provided through it. Subsequently, this has prompted me to return to education and ultimately support vulnerable people experiencing need. I believe that my strong motivation towards achieving this, combined with practical experience and a passion to contribute significantly to our society and social development, demonstrates my potential as a candidate for the social worker program.

Please accept this letter of reference for Sabrina Valenti, as an applicant into your advance standing MSW program. I have known Sabrina in my role as faculty advisor and instructor for her field I and Field II practice courses at University of Saint Joseph (USJ).

Has there ever been a time in your life where you were going through something and felt sad, and alone? Well I have, and i’ve came across many people who have also. When going through something everyone needs that someone who is there for them to listen, and give advice. In the future, I want to be that someone. My passion is helping people, since I was about 5 I’ve always enjoyed helping out people by doing a variety of things.
I am pursuing an MSW at this time with the goal of becoming a licensed clinical social worker in order to provide advanced substance abuse and mental health counseling in western North Carolina. I have many work experiences that contributed to my choice of social work as a profession. I am currently a certified substance abuse counselor intern as well as a certified minister. I provide counseling for members of the congregation I serve.
This unit is aimed at those who work in health or social-care settings or with children or young people in a wide range of settings.

Thank you for your considering my application to the Applied Behavior analysis program. For all of my life I have known that I was going to help people. It could be said that it is in my DNA. I just never suspected what the capacity would be. On December 15thI graduated from Albright college, I began working at Melmark on December 16th. My first thought, on that first day was “Oh no, I can’t do this, I need to quit” That was over two years ago, and I have gone to work every day, with a smile on my face. While working at my first position, out of college, I discovered my passion. My passion, I find, is working with children and adults with autism and with people who suffer from addiction. Watching the smiles on their faces, the determination when they work to complete a goal, and just the progress makes every hardship worth it, I love it. Each day, in my position as an ABA, I run behavior support plans, IEPs, teaching plans and other protocols, and each day I truly wish that I could have contributed to these plans, protocols, and IEPs. I ponder the recommendations that I could come up with, I wonder that if I had been able to participate in these conversations to create these plans could I have brought something else to the table, a different viewpoint. Affecting the way that the plans are written and in turn ran, I feel that I could make a big difference in the lives of the children and their families also. Every two weeks each child’s team meets to discuss his or her
my application would be incomplete without my background not due to its bleak moments but because of its triumphant conclusion. i believe it shows my initiative, tenacity, and determination to succeed even in the face of tremendous adversity. High school began during a dismal period of my life. I suffered from depression due to a combination of bullying and my father's alcoholism and abandonment of my family. i was anxious yet excited about starting highschool,i knew it could be an opportunity to improve the family and social problems that plagued me. I knew that to overcome my shortcomings i would have to devout all of my time and effort into bettering myself. My self improvement began with me starting a counseling program for the children
I am applying to your Behavior Analysis: Criminal Justice post masters for the summer of 2017. After earning my undergraduate degree in Social Work in 2013 from Millersville University, I have worked over 3 years as a TSS (therapeutic staff support). This field is in direct relation to ABA, as it encourages changed behavior through interventions. I’m a natural born person observer and listener. I am known to say that I have 1 mouth and 2 ears so I can listen twice as much as I speak. After attending college, I was able to channel my natural talents into a meaningful career and now working doesn’t feel like work. Helping those that are unable to help themselves is one of my aspirations. With my undergraduate degree I have a range of different
In applying to Arizona State University’s School of Social Work (ASU SSW) Ph.D. program, I aspire to peruse a career as a social work educator. I plan to use this platform and newly acquired skills developed with the university, to advance the field
I moved to California three years ago to pursue a Master's degree in social work at USC. During the time I have lived here, I have gained invaluable experience working full-time in the social work field. My first social work related job in California was working at an IMD step-down program for transitional aged youths and adults with dual diagnoses. From there, I began working in the Wraparound program at Aviva Family and Children's Services as a Child and Family Specialist. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with these agencies but am also very excited to begin graduate study at USC's School of Social Work since my graduate education was the reason for my move to southern California.
Within the past twenty-five years, my life experiences have led me to become passionate about social work. Although my journey in social work hasn 't been something I’ve always known I wanted to do when I was young, a combination of personal, professional, and academic experiences has pointed me into the direction where I am today. As the oldest out of four siblings, my family has always worked hard to get where they’re at now. Knowledge of my parent 's personal; as well as, their professional struggle of not having a college degree has led them to work hard for everything they 've received in their life. Acknowledging what my parents have gone through has pushed me to receive my Associates in Liberal Arts so that I will able to graduate with my Bachelor of Social Work in the Spring 2017.
I decided to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, N.S. where I double majored in Criminology and Sociology and minored in Psychology. Once I graduated, I still did not know what career path was right for me, so I took a year off. In the meantime, I applied to three Schools of Social Work: Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S., St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., and Memorial University in St. John’s, N.L. I spent my gap year working to save up money so I could pay for my next two years of schooling. I decided to apply to schools of social work because I was really interested in my courses that were related to child development and behaviours, interactions between people and society, social inequality and justice, and human rights, which are all relevant to social work.
