Throughout this semester I have seen both ends of how privilege and oppression can drastically change your life. There are variables including intersectionality and multisystemic privilege and oppression that have the ability to fluctuate experiences in different settings in regards to what social identities you choose to identify with. In social work, social identities are something that needs to be respected and taken into consideration at all levels. Knowing this has changed my perspective on how I would go about certain situations in my future career.

As a school social worker I will seek equal educational opportunities and social justice.

I am confident that I am well prepared for graduate work due to my current gpa of 3.7 and active participation in my field internship. During my undergraduate career I have acquired the generalist knowledge of the social work profession by learning and applying theoretical

Once doing so, I plan to continue with my education and hopefully be accepted into a PhD program where I can further expand my knowledge. This is important because it will help me obtain ongoing education and more experience which can potentially offer promotional career opportunities for me. Promotional opportunities are important because I can potentially work with community leaders and or elected officials to effect change through laws, policies and community outreach. I want to continuously educate myself so that I can offer the best treatment to my clients and to bring awareness to the severity of the issues regarding this population. I am aware that social work is not an easy career choice. However, I want nothing more than to become part of the social work community so that I can offer my help. All of my educational choices so far have been great opportunities for me which have all confirmed that social work is the professional career choice for me.

There are significant changes in the field of social work, and these changes have both challenges and opportunities. At the February, 2007, Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) Board of Directors’ Meeting, Dean Kay Hoffman, CSWE president opens by making the statement, “

I have been working as a social worker for the past three years. In all these years, it has always been my desire and passion to acquire enhanced social skills and knowledge to help me empower disadvantaged individuals and families take control of their lives.

It has therefore been my dream to pursue MSW program which I believe is the only program that can help me to accomplish my goal.

As a social worker, it will be my job to motivate my clients to succeed despite the difficult times. Cultural competence is important when dealing with diversity.

I would love the opportunity to broaden and develop my advocating skills at the University of Alabama, ensuring that I always respect and am mindful of individual differences associated with cultural and ethnic

J. K. Rowling. How can this book apply to social work professionals? They should advocate for social justice and equality and invest their time, energy, and passion in something worthwhile in order to help the most oppressed and marginalized among us.

For several years now, I have felt drawn to support and strengthen the communities similar to my own. From an early age I witnessed how social workers can help those struggling to find the resources they need to foster change.

Ever since I was a child, I have been drawn to help others less fortunate than myself. Through my years of volunteer and educational experiences, I have discovered a passion for helping children and families.

This degree will allow me to continue my pursuit of social justice by helping me offer guidance and direction in people’s lives
