I'm studying social service worker because I want to return to the community/world what these wonderful people had given me when I first moved to Canada. I know how challenging moving to a new country can be, I've been there, I know all the struggle to even though it was not as bad for me because I knew French, but some other newcomers had a harder time than I did. This is why I want to help them and make a different in their lives just like my teachers and other social service workers did for me. I've choosing to become a social service worker because I love helping people, giving back to the community, and I take pride in doing so. Therefore, I think I'll be a great fit in this program. I will try my very best to assist anyone that will need my help in the future. Back in Windsor I've volunteered with a lot of newcomers, I represented the ESL department in student body for two years, I was also a peer tutor for the ESL students. Therefore, I have some ideas of what to expect when I start working in the field and I'm super excited about this opportunity in

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

I chose social working as my career because many other people go through tough situations and have a difficult time talking to relatives or friends to help them through a tough situation. I thought of becoming a social worker so I can have the ability to change the lives of others. Social work is one of those careers you can truly make a difference in people’s lives. I want to become a social worker because life isn’t about just helping yourself it’s about helping others as well, which is what social workers do for a living. Child and family social workers protect children and families in need of assistance. Many families and children don’t feel comfortable talking to just anyone about obstacles they have faced in their lives which is why

All my life my parents have taught me the value of helping others. Having different experiences and growing up in an atmosphere where the need of others were put before our own, led me to have a desire to be a social worker. Believing that being a social worker involves many special skills, as an example one of those that u need to interact with people from different cultures and principles than me. For as long as I remember I have had the desire to become a social worker inspiring people and developing people that will drive me to dedicate my excitement and dedication to do what is important in this dream job a reality.

What life experiences have motivated you to choose a career in the medical, health, or life science fields? During my four years at Crispus Attucks High School I have gained experiences that has influenced me to choose a career in the Business field. Not only have I gained experiences at Crispus Attucks but I have also gained experiences outside of school with the opportunities they have provided me with. The exposure that I have encountered at Crispus Attucks is the involvement in the NoMore Club and by preference taking Introduction to Business on Edgenuity.

One thing that I have always been certain of when it comes to my future is that I want to inspire, help, and have a positive impact on as much people as possible. I want to fight for those that have no voice and create any necessary social change in my community. The field of social work would help me accomplish that. Social work is a broad field where I would be able to work with various populations of people throughout the community ranging from children to the elderly. I believe that by pursuing a master’s degree in social work I will have a sense of deep satisfaction knowing that I will be prepared to face any obstacle in my future as a social worker. I am aware that social work can be challenging but knowing that I will be able to advocate for others that are helpless and fight for social justice will be very rewarding. I first became interested in social work seven years ago, after my aunt and her husband decided to become foster parents, I would help my aunt take care of the children, and they were all very sweet kids that I will never forget. My aunt and her husband were given the opportunity to adopt a 5-year-old girl and shortly after were able to adopt her newborn sister. It was a very joyous day for our family when the adoption was finalized. During that time I met their social worker, she was a very kind and knowledgeable woman that inspired me to pursue a career in social work. I admired how passionate she was about her job and how much she enjoyed making an

My passion for social work originated in my senior year of undergraduate school. During my senior, year my single, adoptive mother had passed. A couple of months following her death, I found myself homeless. I had just turned 18 and I was a jobless high school student sleeping from couch to couch. During this time of my life there was one individual who supported me. The high school social worker was a strong support for me. I didn’t have any family support and thus fell on hard times. A college professor once told me that people who choose social work as a major do it because that had someone in their life who influenced them to become a social worker. If that person wasn’t in my life, my personal growth would have differed completely. It was at this point that I realized it only takes one caring individual to hugely impact someone 's life for the better. To be that person to someone else is my highest aspiration in life.

I am currently a Psychology major at Brigham Young University. I am graduating in April 2017 with a Bachelor’s of Psychology and a double minor in Family Life and Gerontology. This coming December 2016, I will be applying to the Masters of Social Work program at both BYU. I hope to become a medical social worker and be employed in a hospital as a child life specialist or a therapist for cancer patients and families. I’m attracted to social work because I served a service mission for 18 months in Guatemala teaching ecclesiastical principles and providing service to hundreds of Guatemalans. I left my heart there and came back with a determination to help those in need. With my educational background and my ability to speak Spanish, I am confident that I will be able serve many people in need. I have been able to volunteer as a Hospice Relief Supporter, a volunteer teacher at the Utah State Hospital, a volunteer at the crisis line, and as the Volunteer Coordinator at Camp Kesem (a free summer camp for children whose parents are affected by cancer). The more I volunteer, the more experience I gain and the greater my desire for social work grows.

Before beginning the journey of my dream job, I ask myself a series of issues.. What can I offer as a social worker? Can I set aside my perceptions and values? What populations or situations would I feel uncomfortable working with if any? Am I empathic enough to not only feel, but understand? What is my motivation for pursuing a career in social services?

1. Describe why you are applying to this program, what your goals are, and how your professional and educational experiences have prepared you for this program.

I want to help people realize that harm can come from someone that is closest to you whether it's a family member or the love of your life. I'm continuing down a path that allows me to help people, who are in similar situations so that I can lessen their painful affliction in their lives. I want to put my feelings aside and become selfless for someone else. I want to make a change in a person's life. I believe a social worker exhibits these qualities, in order, to create a safe space for individuals who want to make a better change. I think positively impacting a person's life, no matter how small or big, is worth it. Furthermore, I believe in giving someone a chance to make a change. I believe that chances and changes overlap each other. Without a chance, you can never make a change and to make a change, you need to take a chance. In the past, I took chances that freed me from the negative elements that were hindering my

Social workers have the ability to impact children, families and communities on a grand scale. My hope is to make a difference in the lives of people who are struggling to attain basic human necessities. I have worked in the social work field for the past ten years and am currently a first year MSW student. My hope is to become licensed and eventually found my own non-profit agency serving oppressed populations of families and their children. My goal is to empower individuals and families by providing support services that will address various aspects of their lives. I am currently completing my foundation year internship in a public housing community and I have observed the needs of the community and the lack of resources available to

As the saying goes, “Our children are our future” and who you are as a child can determine who you can be later on in life. It is important for a child to be in a safe, comfortable and loving environment during its development so that the child can have the full advantage to become the best he can be in his future. My future career as a social worker will ensure just that. I chose this profession because of my own history. Growing up, I’ve had my share of social workers in my house. I experienced them as people who helped my family during a hard time. This is a career where I can fight for people’s rights. I will also be able to protect
