Personal Statement: A Career As A Social Worker

From this class I know what is social worker. The social worker is follow the values, use cases, groups, communities, administrative and other professional methods to help institutions and others to realize their potential, to coordinate social relations, to solve and prevent social problems, promote social justice professional workers. Before I take this class, I did not know there had a social worker job around us, and I did not think anyone could help others with less remuneration. However, after I talked with a social worker who I did the interview project. She told me she loves her job, that was fine when she worked with the little people. Also, she mentioned us when she decided to be a social worker she had to stay with a profession social worker and learn two to three years. For those

years, she would travel to several different places to help people in need. She told us that was very good trip, if we love travel, because that is free trip and the important thing was we could help others. However, if we want to be a social worker at Washington state, that is not easy, because a master social degree is necessary. But she did not suggest us to be a social worker if we did not marry, because that is a not a good job to make more money.
In my opinion, to be a social worker is not that difficult, we just need spent more time on that, but I am wrong.

The social worker should accept the service object from the heart, regard them as important partners in the process of work, and should keep the attitude of tolerance and respect to the value preference, habit and belief of the clients. It is not because of the physiology, psychology, race, Sex, age, occupation, social status, beliefs and other factors they have any discrimination, but cannot refuse to provide social services to clients for these reasons. However, I do not think anyone can do the service object from heart. One case was when I did the interview project, I called a social worker and tried to make an appointment with her. After I told she why I called her, she sounds like angry to said “NO!” and hang up the phone. I was shocked, because in my impression the social worker should be mild person. I harbored feelings of apprehension and tried to call the second social worker. The second social worker was more friendly and asked me if she need wore the formal clothes. Overall, that thing has surprised me and I think that is not anyone can be a social

worker.
After this class, I know I just know a little field around my life. I have to say I am a timid person. I never watch the horror film, even war movies, because I am afraid when people died. I know the war is terrible, but I never thought that will be happen in real life. That is hard to image how bad if that really happen. However, after watch the videos which was a weekly discussion. In the video, the most child leave their country because of war. That let me know the other face of this world. I know I have to change myself, because I live in peaceful place and enjoy the comfortable life, but I did nothing meaningful.
I am not sure what should I use in the future for what I learned in this course, because I will not be a social worker in the future. However, I already know this job is exist, if anyone need I can tell them where to find help.
