Career Goals For Social Work
Seeing the expression on peoples’ faces as they offered their donation in the form of non-perish food/money for the food bank to remain open was satisfying. I was overwhelmed with emotions. I’m a very compassionate person. Taking the time to serve my community played a major role in my decision becoming a social worker as my profession.
The career goals that I have for myself are to become a license therapist, after I graduate with my MSW from the University of Arkansas. I have explored these following areas as an alternative future career choice, working at an alcohol/substance abuse facility as a counselor/therapist. I will consider working at an elementary school, as a school base social work therapist. From my understanding there is a

    Personal Narrative: The Tualatin School House Pantry

    Being active in National Charity League for six years, I have had the pleasure of working with many different philanthropies, my favorite being The Tualatin School House Pantry. Operating out of the basement of a church, the food bank helps to feed families in the community who are struggling financially. While my first few experiences at the food pantry were emotionally challenging, I found them to be very eye opening. I met many people from different backgrounds, yet they all shared the same hardship, the inability to afford food for themselves and their families. Wanting to do more for the recipients, I received training to be one of the personal shoppers.…

    Why I Want To Be A Social Worker Essay

    I never really had an answer when grown-ups asked me what I wanted to be when I was little. Did I want to be a Veterinarian? Maybe, animals are awesome. Teacher? I’d rather just learn. Astronaut? Only if they make space food tastier. Now I’m about to be one of many so-called “grown-ups” and I finally have the answer. I want to help people. I will help people. I am going to be a social worker.…

    Personal Narrative: Feed My Starving Children

    When I started out I really wanted to volunteer at the local school but unfortunately that did not plan out. I always think that everything happens for a reason and working a feed my starving children really made me feel like i was making a difference even when I was doing the small jobs. Feed my starving children is a nonprofit faith based organization that is devoted to feeding the hungry in different countries all around the world. Over the stations they have the names of the places that the food goes to. I did two 5 hour shifts just because it was something I actually had fun with and felt like I could keep going. Something I found really interesting when talking to the workers there was that when they drop the food off they have to be…

    Community Service Experience

    In my current role at Palm Beach Count Food Bank, I have the opportunity to feed people in need. I would love to continue to volunteer on a regular basis, because it changes me, and me perspective. We tend to think of what is not going right in our lives, but when we are intentional about putting others first, a thankful heart starts to develop. For that reason, I think it is crucial to be selfless and focus on the needs of others. I am not saying to neglect one’s needs of family, but to take time to acknowledge all the blessings the Lord has given to us in order to bless others. “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” (Hebrews 6:10,…

    What Is The Impact Of Being On National Honor Society

    Having the opportunity to make new, diverse friends around the community impacted me as a person. The people I met not only included the people I served, but also included the people I worked alongside of me in the food pantry. Since I volunteered at the same day and time every week, I was able to become familiar with many new people. In fact, many of these people were even able to connect to my life. One day I had a conversation with a man I volunteered with numerous times whose name was Steve.…

    Becoming A Social Service Worker

    I've always felt the need to help others and somehow make a difference in a person’s quality of life. If you're a person like me who cannot stick to one thing, taking an education on social service worker is an excellent approach for setting a base foundation on your future career. For example, if a person who has take an education in social service were to get a job in advocating, but later realizing they're not really interested in advocating anymore, the person could switch from advocating to let's say educating, researching or even case managing. My plan is to gain the knowledge and the abilities of becoming a social service worker, and from that I can easily choose…

    My Experience In Social Work

    I really liked reading your post. I also thought about working in a private practice setting. I think that working in a small setting, there is a lot more job security. Working in a high-populated setting means that there is a lot of competition in order to progress at work. I love competition, but I really don’t want to be in competition with about twenty-five other social workers. You have a lot of experience. I have barley even been alive for twenty years. I think that your experience will be very useful in social work. At my practicum, I work in a cubical and make dozens of phone calls a day. I rally don’t like to work in a cubical, I love doing field work, its when we visit peoples homes and actually talk to people in their settings. I…

    Reflection: Feed My Starving Children

    While at FMSC, I boxed the bags of food. This was sometimes difficult as when I was placing bags into a box, new bags would pile up quickly on the side of the table, forcing me to scramble to distribute onto the numbered table before packing a new box. This slight struggle was increased recently as FMSC adopted a new table design with 3 packing tables fueling to one boxing table. This meant that I had to box faster as I had three tables’ bags, not just two tables’ bags. During my first shift, I boxed for a set of three very fast tables, increasing the effort required to keep up with the tables. Despite my small struggles at FMSC, I had a very rewarding experience. At FMSC, I volunteered with my family. I’m usually busy and don’t get to see my family very often, so getting to pack with them was a great way to spend time together. The largest reward of volunteering at FMSC is getting to see pictures and videos of the people I helped. When I volunteered the first time, I saw a video of little boy named Nelson from Haiti who was starving and begging in the street. With the help of FMSC’s food, he grew healthy and strong and got to start school. The final time I visited, we saw videos of people from Ukraine who received FMSC’s food. They couldn’t afford food in the war zone that is their home and depended on FMSC for help. I was most…

    Food Bank Experience

    Sure it looks like a simple work, but it was physically demanding. I did this work behind the scenes and it was difficult for me to notice the impact of spending my time in the food bank. I would have liked to observe families obtain food in times of need. The thought of the pleasure and cheerfulness these families would experience changed my perception during the time that I was at the food bank. It is very satisfying to me to help the people in the community during their tough times, even though I only spared few hours for sorting and boxing food in a…
