Reasons I Have Decided To Take Social Services: Other Than To Help

A great deal of personas have realized how Foster Care is affecting the nation. There have been many attempts to fix the problems, some have failed and some have been successful. Out of all of the attempts, the programs Kinship Care and Foster Care to Success are a couple that have been successful.

It did not take long before I realized how lucky I was for the situation that I had grown up in, to see how I could use it to shape my future into one that went against every negative thought people had, or every negative comment people made towards my future. The past was the key to my future. I spent years in foster care, and years being treated like just another case by social workers, never feeling like they really cared or understood me. That is what needed to be changed, and that is what I was going to do, become a social worker, and revolutionize the way foster kids, abused, or neglected children were treated. No kid should feel like they are just another case to be handled, they are brilliant individuals who are waiting for someone to show them how to not only escape the past, but how to achieve their own dreams. I promised myself that I would never give up on that dream of helping those children in need. It was in the past that I found my courage to return to school, to prepare myself for a worth wild

I remember it like it was yesterday. There i was a eight year old child, standing there in our front yard when the social worker dropped off our very first foster child. My parents placed the baby in my arms and as i stared down at it, i remember the very first thoughts running through my head; what the heck are we supposed to do with this!/ we are supposed to take care of this thing Well six months later, surprisingly, the baby still lived, but we had all just began a journey that would continue throughout the rest of my life. The one thing conclusion that i have come throughout these past 8 years is that foster system is indeed a problem that needs to be recognized and addressed by EVERYONE. And i hope to persuade you on this by exploring the problem, privileges, and promise for these kids.

Many children can have social problems, identity problems, and many other difficulties. Many studies have been observing that the established structure of foster care can diminish the status of a foster child, and the view of the foster child has been stereotyped bringing many consequences and negative effects on the child. Throughout being in foster care, adolescents experienced low self-esteem and depression. The long term consequences of these conditions are slurred self-identity, social isolation, lack of a true family connection, low self-confidence, and lack of future goals. Also, they are more likely to separate themselves and experience depression and many other disorders, asking themselves what did they do wrong for their biological parents to leave them, or why doesn’t anyone truly want to take care and love them. If Jeannette and the other siblings would have been sent to foster care, Lori, Jeannette, and Brian would not have been motivated to move out on their own and pursue their dreams. If they would have been sent to foster care they also would not have each other, and as one can see, the Walls children were close to each other, often relying on one another for

In foster children are deeply affected by the system they were forcibly put into, violence, mental illness and how it affects them later in there are what they deal with in their day to day life. No one will truly understand the pain a foster child really goes through just the thought of it alone could make anyone shake their

Being a foster parent is a choice that I made with a lot of support from my family and friends. I

According to author Susan Egbert Cutler, “foster care provides children, youth, or adults with supervision and a place to live outside of their usual home setting” (Cutler). Typically, a person gets placed in foster care because they come from an unsafe home environment and are unable to care for themselves on their own (Cutler). The experiences of every child in foster care are different because there are so many variables that contribute to whether or not a particular foster home is a good fit for the child: the biological parents, the foster parents, the circumstances of the placement, and the foster child themselves. For example, Wanda Corley, who was a child placed in foster care during the 1950s, has her own unique perspective on foster

These challenges are worth studying because it is important to be aware of the needs of young children in foster

In the journal article, “Caregivers, School Liaisons, and Agency Advocates Speak Out about the Educational Needs of Children and Youths in Foster Care”, they discussed the educational need of children in foster care. 40% of children entering foster care for the first time reunify with their parents less than 12 months. As for the others, they are trapped in the foster system until they age out at 18 years old. One in four of the youth who age out are

Foster care helps children who run away from home or do not have a home to go to. Some children have been in foster care since they were toddlers, because their parents neglected them. Foster care provides a stable roof over the childrens' head’s until a family member or outside family wants to adopt the child. Foster care is a good place for children's so they will not have to be out in the streets with no food, clothes, or a place to lay their head. This story shows many reasoning why children growing up in this society are placed in a foster care, due to physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect.

The North American Canadian Foster Care System has been a controversial issue and has been debated for a long time. During the last few decades of the twentieth century, the number of children in foster care has increased in alarming numbers (Being a Foster Child, 2017). In the past years, it has been proven that the Foster Care System is in crisis and fails the children, who are placed in it, in various ways. In order to examine this failure to a greater extent, one essential question needs to be asked: “What is the relationship between a foster child’s placement in the foster care system and how well they develop?”. It is very important to examine the effects of the children’s past experiences on their further development during their time in the system, and moving into the future, as these past exposures

Most of the time when children get put into the foster care system their attitudes change and it may seem like they become a whole different person. Through extensive research proof has been found that this occurs and has found ways to help a child transition back into how they were before foster care, but for those that were born into foster care they may find it normal and not revolt because it is all they have ever known. Many kids will end up dropping out of high school after turning sixteen. Some will not drop out but “for those who choose to stay enrolled, the path is not a traditional one, some foster children complete high school after five years or choose [an] alternative like a GED transcription or diploma.” (Ideastream, 2017).

Roger had very little control over his situation but Danny helped him move from a car to a house. Danny could have forgotten about his cousin and gone on with life, but he chose to make a difference in Rogers’s life. Anyone could have helped Roger and that is why it is important to always try to make an impact in the world. Danny took an interest in Roger’s situation and created a youth-led organization dedicating to running programs that will bring a sense of stability and normalcy and also allow foster children to make their own choices. Danny got no money making the organization but just to help. People can make a difference in the world without money invested. Most people choose to ignore problems because of the time and money going into the solution. If people knew how to make a difference without losing money, the world would change for the better. People are losing their freedom because of being discriminated just like foster children are losing

That spirit that makes a child want to succeed is something that is built over time. Many foster children feel uncertain or their self esteem may have suffered at the hands of an abusive parent or caregiver. It is only through consistent praise and encouragement that a child will begin to overcome these setbacks and learn to seek success on his or her own.

.For my mother her choice to go to school to go school and get an education was important because her mother didn't get the choice to. the result of my great grandfather's sexism caused this horrible thing endowed upon her. Namely, because of that she made up her mind to get an education no matter what it takes because they are equally endowed with the power to be successful. in the choice of discipline she had a wayward cousin and she was moving with bad company and was negatively affected causing a lack in education. because y mom didn't want to end up like that she choose her friends carefully because of the effect they evidently have. she wanted to be in power of her own life, and not allow others to dictate it for her. her mom's illness
