Personal Statement : My Placement Year

As I prepare for the second year of the master’s program, there are three interviews that I must attend to get into my second year placement. Interviews itself can be challenging because they tend to be unpredictable and nerve-racking. The interview can take place with one interviewer or a panel of interviews. To better prepare for this challenge Professor Sears provided the class with a handout of questions to prepare for the placement interview. The three questions I am struggling with are the

My struggles began my first academic year in the fall of 2014. The course I enrolled in was a seminar course, that was led by an adjunct professor.

Over the last few years I have helped with the office side of the business during school holidays and have been on a few supervised home visits. I found this very

My Journey into social work thus far has been extremely challenging from the time I enrolled onto the Social Work programme. By this, I mean I have experienced a placement breakdown, which delayed my overall development. This led me to have a negative outlook on social work professionals. I also experienced high anxiety/delayed stress, within my final year of university, which brought on a whole host of physical symptoms, which has been difficult for me to express to others, and deal with personally
