Recommended: Essay on the adoption process

While working on the audio documentary I found that many different elements that worked on this project and many didn’t work at all. When going into this assignment I wanted to pick something that I was passionate about and which I can give more information to my audience. Shelters and adoption are important to me and know that the Kalamazoo community loves animals as well. Choosing KCASE shelter was important because I felt that this shelter need more awareness and help from the community. When doing the interviews for this project it was difficult because the people of operation at KCASE didn’t want me to interview them. Gladly, my roommate is a volunteer at KCASE so she was like my inside man at the shelter. After, interviewing my roommate

    Being given the opportunity to intern with the staff at the Family Resource Center in the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) has been a tremendous learning experience thus far. The opportunity has truly surpassed my expectation of what I imagined the journey of internship would be like and how it would help me to evolve into the professional arena as a social worker.

  • Protecting Families of Domestic Abuse and Disabilities

    1516 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are several populations that interest me however possible preferences include families that deal with domestic abuse and those who are disabled. Working with families that have experienced domestic violence is an interest because in the past I had friends whose family was dealing domestic violence and the impact could clearly in all members of the family. Seeing the difference that was made by those who worked to help their family made this population a preference. Another population that is a possible preference is are those who are disabled. The interest to help those who were disabled started when a faculty called Edelweiss opened. Up to that point there had been no interaction with those who lead different lives than myself. Through the year that was spent volunteering the changes in those that had lessons became obvious. Being able to see the achievements of those who had lessons made it a continued interest. In the past couple of years a new side of this interest was shown. There is someone that is a close friend who is disabled because of seizures who has had trouble with employers. Seeing how she has been treated made it even clearer that this population needs help and has made it a continued interest professionally and personally.
