DHS Personal Statement

For the past ten years I have dedicated myself working with three’s and four year’s old as a Family Worker. Working with children’s inspiring me to further my education. At first all I wanted was a SA in Social Work. However, working with diverse family’s needs, and the economy draining the city I work in sparkle me to continue my educational goal. Currently I’m enroll al GCU to obtain my BA in Social Work with emphasis in Sociology in which I’m aiming to successfully complete it to then move on to my MA in Social Worker to become a counselor.

I see my future career involving communication and social interaction. Whether that interaction is face-to-face, or virtual. So, my first option in Social Services was a career in education. As of a few months ago, I decided I wanted to pursue my education and look into graduate school. After graduate school, I would want to teach in a collegiate environment and empower students around me to reach their highest goals.

Generally, these workers support people to deal with problems in their everyday life. They aid and

I am passionate about many things but I want to find a profession that will help me accomplish encouraging people to take action in fixing their livelihood instead of being a passive bystander. I want to motivate struggling individuals with the services that would be provided so they can get back on their feet and enjoy all the amazing things life has to offer. I don’t believe “I” decided to be a social worker. I was born to be a social worker. I believe it was a part of me from day one. Social work has influenced me in wanting to make a difference in the world. I knew I would be in the field of helping but thought I would be a teacher. I actually switched majors halfway through college because I did not feel fulfilled. I hope once I have finished and get my degree, I can use the gift that I have been given to change someone’s life for the better. Being a Social Worker is about empowering someone and inspire them to help themselves and I know that I have what it takes. There isn’t one particular thing or someone that has influenced my decision in becoming a professional helper. There were several incidents in my life as well as people that I have come across throughout my life. Events like Hurricanes Katrina impacted my immediate surroundings and drew me even closer to the real work of social workers. I can’t pinpoint an exact person or event that sealed the deal for me because I have come in contact with

Social Work has been my primary career choice for years and no other path has caught my attention. I cannot remember a time in my life that becoming a social worker did not seem right. I feel like my whole life I have wanted to be a social worker and, as cliché as it may sound, each year this unexplained feeling has become stronger. More specifically, my personal interest in the social work field was solidified when I lived with my aunt.

Consequently, I hope to find out where I fit in as a social worker before I pursue my master’s degree. My ideal future career

My desire to become a social worker came as a big surprise to me. When I entered college, four years ago, my plan was to become a forensic psychologist. Becoming a criminal justice major with a concentration in forensic psychology seemed to be the right choice. I was intent on learning about the criminal justice system and the psychology of criminals. However, I quickly realized that I was fascinated by all aspects of human psychology, not just criminal behavior, so I declared a double major in psychology.

Paper Mache has been around since ancient egypt. They used it as death mask when people died. It has been used by many artist to make art and dummies. The army used it as a combat decoy. We use it in art class to make letters by using glue, cardboard and old newspaper.

I am pursuing a graduate degree in social work at this time because there is a great need for social workers to enhance the social well-being of disenfranchised persons. When I was growing up educational, environmental, and economic inequalities in my neighborhood meant hardship and uncertainty for youth and families. Witnessing the unaddressed trauma from these hardships in the community became a growing concern for me. Social workers are needed to assist with remedying the plight of the poor and disenfranchised.

Education has been inforced in my family ever since my parents found themselves struggling with expenses. In addition, many people all around the world have faced and still find themselves in the terrifying situation of not having a job due to their lack of education, which can lead to bad choices in life. For instance, many parents decide to have children at the unappropriate time, not taking into consideration the struggles they are already facing. Many times, when adolescents are raised in an environment in which they have no support they begin to get involved in unsafe activities. My goal is to earn my masters in Social Work, to provide professional discipline in order to facilitate welfare in communities, individuals, and families. As

When I started thinking about my future, becoming a Social worker was never in my plans. I knew that I always wanted to help people; I just never thought I could make a career out of it. When was younger, I spent time working at a nursing home serving them dinner. During my time working there, I was able to get to know the elderly patients and began to enjoy spending time with them, and just being someone, they could talk to. I also worked at a summer camp and an after-school program, which was the first jobs that sparked my interest in wanting to work with children. After working both of these jobs, I strongly felt that I wanted to become a teacher. My academic concentration during my first three years of college was Early Childhood Education,

I have been going to the Wayne County Community College for years, and I had not made up my mind on what I wanted to do, although I knew that I wanted to help people. After taking multiple classes in psychology and sociology, I knew that I would be happier taking the “social work” part of it and I would help many people since I had an interest. As a social worker, I am sure that I will make an impact on the lives of people. I will also advocate for social justice which will address many problems that people face as well as the use of different forms of treatment and intervention to help

As a young adult, it is always difficult to imagine what career path you want to take, ultimately deciding what you will do for the rest of your life. For me, initially I felt that my passion was working with children and families, meaning that I should be a teacher. Therefore, I passionately pursued an associate degree in Early Childhood Education. After graduating, I transferred to The Pennsylvania State University to further my vocational desires in pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation and Human Services. During my final semester I was required

My name is Sarah Cameron and I am currently enrolled at Casper College as a social work major. This spring of 2018 I will have completed my associates and am looking to pursue my bachelors degree at the University of Wyoming. When I first became interested in social work, I had already completed 2 years of coursework through Casper College and had declared majors in two fields I knew were unsuitable for me (dental hygiene and Occupational therapy assisting). I knew that whatever I majored in I wanted to be able to help people and influence their lives in a positive way. I knew that social work was a good fit for me because I am an open minded person who has a desire to help people and make a positive change in the world around me.

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.
