Personal Statement For Social Work

My main reason for applying to the Simmons School of Social Work is that it is an accredited university with an excellent reputation as an educational institution and offers an MSW program that is predominantly online. I attended Thomas Edison State University online and earned my bachelor’s degree with a GPA of 3.9. Once I made the decision to continue my education, I searched for MSW programs that were available online with CSWE accreditation in compliance with New Jersey State social work licensure. I found that Simmons’s specialized program in clinical social work is well suited for my educational needs.

I would like to study in the area of Social Work because I would like to make a greater impact with this system that has seemed to be crumbling down. This has grabbed my attention when I have learned that my friends have been in the system as a ward of the state and was in foster homes until a home was found for them.

Whenever people ask me why I want to be a social worker, all I can think about was when I was a little girl, and I was going through my Legally Blonde phase or my Corner phase. Which neither one of these career choices appear to have anything in common. Yet, the only thing that ran through my mind every single time I considered a new career choice, was I just want to help people. That's all I've ever wanted to do since I was a child and most importantly I want to help those in my community. Since Carson and Nevada as a whole is my home and the only home I have ever known.
