Why Social Work? � My journey to becoming a social work was an easy decision. I first came to Wayne for Child Psychology and hated my psychology class! My counselor suggested social work and now, here I am. � I personally survived a lot of odds growing up. I come from a divorced family, raised by my father with little contact from my mother, low -income family with no college experience.
Social Work… �I became a social worker to help people cope with the stress of life and help them also beat the odds. � I have a desire to work with victims of sexual assault and my ideal job setting would be in a hospital. � After graduation I plan to become certified as a trauma specialist and work with children.
WSU Social Work Mission � The mission of the Wayne State University School of Social Work is to transmit, develop, critically examine, and apply knowledge to advance social work practice and social welfare policy in order to promote social, cultural and economic justice for the betterment of poor, vulnerable, and oppressed individuals, families, groups, communities, organizations, and society, by: ◦ preparing ethical and competent social work generalists, advanced practitioners and scholars at the BSW, MSW, and Ph. D levels, respectively, with learning that primarily emphasizes urban settings; ◦ conducting research, primarily relevant to urban populations; and ◦ providing innovative leadership and service to the urban community and the profession.
Mission �I feel that the School of Social Work has successfully prepared me to complete this mission statement. � They have provided me with a diverse learning community as well as educated me on diversity. � I feel I am capable of assisting vulnerable communities with obtaining resources to help them better themselves.
Interests
Interests � Hanging out with friends � Playing softball and basketball � Going to the movies � Working out � Traveling � Country music ◦ Taylor Swift and Keith Urban *** Although I love doing all these things, it is extremely difficult to fit them into my schedule at this time! =)
Post MSW � After graduation my boyfriend and I plan to move out of state. He goes to school for public safety and emergency transportation which means we get to live somewhere that disasters occur. Our hopes are for California, Texas, Arizona or possibly even Hawaii! Somewhere with a nice beach, much like this one =)
