This year my English and Government teacher is Mrs.Heath. I do really enjoy this class because I have been learning so much about the Government and how things run. I never really thought about most of the stuff that actually happens so I am glad I now know things about the country I live in. We have been writing prompts to different colleges and scholarship questions and here is one of my prompts on a question I chose from "the common application" questions.
(Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.)
My main interest is to be a social worker because I have always wanted to help children. Specifically in bad homes and help them recover from their past and find better environments for them. I don't have a background that pertains to living the way the kids that I want to help live. I myself was fortunate enough to be raised in a safe home and environment and now have the chance to provide knowledge that I will gain by going to college to help others in not so fortunate living situations than I had. Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to be a social worker, from watching so many TV shows and movies about a child's life being in danger whether it be any abuse from parents or foster care system is not doing them any good. Now a days in the social working field of social work that I have researched a lot on, has not been doing children good or in general. There are not many social workers in the country so the little that there are there is work loads of cases being assigned to one and it has been becoming too stressful which ends up causing in forfeiting the job. I know that social workers will need to have a HUGE heart to deal with these types of situations and I know that I do. I can be there and be strong for these children and help them in any way possible although, I have a soft spot I can still be strong for others as well. Most people will say that there is no point in being “stressed” out or to have a workload on you for such little pay, but I however do not care at all about the money, I care about the health and wellness of one and refuse to let any child live in horrible situations, it will always be passion over money to me. Going to college and studying in the field of social work seems like the right path for me to make.
