From the humble beginning of Social Work there have been many people who have tirelessly worked, fought, and dedicated their life advocating for the people in our world who are disadvantaged. Furthermore, many of these people have been women who not only were strong enough to fight for the rights of others, but also had to fight the forces whom thought that women where in some way second hand citizens themselves. These women were brave and determined enough to break out of the box that society placed them in, and stand up for the social injustices that they seen taking place, and try to make a difference. Of the many women from the early days of Social Work none fought harder for social reform than Grace Abbott. Grace Abbott spent her life

Within the community she has served in numerous roles contributing to the success of our youth.

Ms. Pickett was one of our very best students. She took her course work seriously and performed consistently well.

While as a Candy Striper at Memorial Regional Hospital, she developed an interest in Social Work from a health perspective but her main interest began when she read a book “Black like me” which was about a white male who was interested in race relations in the country where he would take drugs to make his skin darker and travel to different areas to try to experience what a black male would experience. Because of this, she chose to be in the Social Work Program.

As I have a passion for helping children and an interest for pursuing school social work, I decided to interview my mother’s co-worker, Belle Walker. Belle is an exceptional children’s (EC) social worker for Union County public schools and works directly with students and families who need assistance finding resources to help them succeed in the classroom. Belle is a very passionate person and loves her work. During her undergraduate, she held an internship at a transitional homeless shelter working with families. As she attended graduate school in Illinois, Belle worked in a domestic violence shelter as a counselor during the nights. After graduate school she decided to move back to Charlotte and found a job working with A Child’s Place as a caseworker for homeless families through the school system. She has now been working with Union County public schools for three years and plans to work with the school system for as long as she can because she feels that she has found fitting.

With great pleasure, I write this recommendation letter for Melissa Gonzalez, whom I met back in the fall of 2015, when she joined Miami Dade College - Kendall Campus as a Video Production Technician for the Media Services Department. During the time with Miami Dade College, among the qualities that Melissa demonstrated were a mature personality and emotional stability, which are attributes that make an individual valuable for any institution. Miami Dade College is a multiethnic educational institution that welcomes empathy, sensitivity and a cooperative spirit. Melissa has demonstrated all of those attributes while interacting with colleagues, clients, and students.

Makenzie Walke is already a great person. She will continue to pursue intellectual excellence through her open mind and positive outlook on life. Kenzie has been in many of my classes through most of her high school career. Her creativity has been key in her sussess.

Her ability to connect with others has been observed in action through class activities. She has been involved with many different interviewing, leadership, and follower roles within the classes she has taken. She always matches the role that is needed for her group to be successful and always has the big picture goals before her own personal goals. Through

I strongly believe that the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work MSW program would provide an excellent learning opportunity in my social work endeavours. Aside from the faculty resources that Canada’s oldest and most prestigious school of social work has to offer, The University plays a major role in shaping the methodologies and practices used in social work practice nationally, such as ‘evidence based practice’; therefore, the MSW program offered would situate me in an academic institution that offers the benchmark in social work education. I understand that to be awarded the honour of doing my MSW at Factor-Inwentash dictates a complete commitment to the program, for which I am dedicated.

She is a born leader, and works excellently in groups and frequently pushes her groups to reach their goals. Furthermore, I have rarely seen a student more respectful to both teachers and her peers than Georgia. She is a very social person, and is both outgoing and funny. Georgia is also exceptionally creative. She is always pushing herself to look at challenges and assignments in a different way and it always pays off, especially when writing essays and in other written assignments, as she is an amazing writer. The characteristics that Georgia has demonstrated throughout her entire high school career have prepared her for the upcoming challenge of collegiate academics. I am certain she will approach these new opportunities with the same persistency and drive for excellence that she applies to all of her endeavors, especially as she challenges herself with the new learning experiences and community that are available in the college setting. To conclude, Georgia is an extraordinary student and person, and I recommend her to this school with my highest regards. Sincerely, Georgia Beckmann Head of College Counselling Prospect Hill Academy Charter School Collegiate
