I have been interested in science for as long as I can remember. When I was in pre-school I would watch television shows like "The Magic School Bus" where every episode talked about a new topic such as anatomy or astronomy and the characters within the show learned more about the problems taking place alongside the viewer. While I watched these shows I wanted to be like those kids in The Magic School Bus who got to experience the different events which occurred both in the macro and micro world around them. Unfortunately the technology to shrink down to the size of a red blood cell and learn about the heart and blood flow first hand doesn’t exist yet. However, through my science classes I can learn about things like this in a similarly interesting
Social workers understand how diversity can characterize and mold someone’s experience and how it’s critical to the formation of one’s identity. The elements of diversity are acknowledged as the crossroad of various components which include; age, class, color, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, immigration status, political ideology, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. Social workers appreciate that, someone’s life experiences may include ill-treatment, poverty, marginalization, and alienation as well as privilege, power, and acclaim as consequences of differences.
My primary goal for going to school is to get my education so I can have a brighter future and make an impact in my community. When I go to school, I want to major in biology and obtain my bachelor's degree. After I have received my bachelor's degree, I want to start my graduate studies in medical school. My primary career goal that I want to achieve is to work in healthcare. I want to become a pediatrician, after I finish my education. I want to help children and treat them for common illnesses and diseases. I chose to do this because I want every child to be able to reach their
I am interested in obtaining my masters degree in the field of social work because I am passionate about issues of equality and fairness, and want to be in a position to help out in this area in a constructive and meaningful way. Social workers have the ability to make direct, beneficial changes in people’s lives, often the people who need it the most. It may rarely be world-changing on a macro level, but social work, when done right, can have world changing effects, for the better, on the people it touches.
I have always been drawn to serving others. I enjoy listening to the challenges people face and helping them arrive at a healthy conclusion. I take pride in advocating for those who are unable to advocate for themselves and genuinely care for every person who lacks access, or is denied access to services their community provides. However, I never thought of social work as a profession. I always thought psychology was what I needed to study in able to obtain my long-term goals of working in a school setting or becoming a therapist. It was not until my junior year here at Monmouth University, I realized psychology was not the right field for me. As psychology became a more research-based program, I began to examine social work as a major and explore the classes they offered. The Introduction to Social Work class opened up so many more opportunities. I finally understood the content I was learning and was able to apply those learning’s to the kind of work I potentially saw myself doing. In other words, I felt at home in the field of social work, like I had finally found my calling.
I am a average 8th grader who would be honored to attend an early College High School. I would appreciate attending Clear Horizons High School for the reason of extending my learning capability and challenging my thinking. If I were to attend Clear Horizons High School my expectations would be to insure I will be not only going to college but finishing a bachelors degree. My main obstacle as a student is being too nervous to ask questions and speak in front of the class.
I have always been fascinated with science-oriented interests. I remember being young and intrigued by the complexity of the human body. As I grew, puzzles and critical thinking became essential to my learning process.
In my household, from the time I was in Kindergarten, my mother expected academic excellence and nothing less. With her help I was an A student, Science fair grand champion, Young authors winner, Community helpers member, Young academic role model and more. At the age of eleven I lost my mother to Invasive Breast Cancer. Being academically successful was her goal for me and up to that point in her life she instilled the values of education and hard work ethic into me. At that young age I had to decide how I was going to continue being academically successful in school and what were my educational goals for myself. Since that day every school year I ask myself that same question,and this year being my senior year it’s more prominent than ever. My short term educational goals are: to apply and be admitted to 4 universities, maintain a 3.7 gpa, pass AP calc and English exam’s with a score of 4 or higher, and graduate with honors.
I have known that I wanted to go into the field of Social Work since my first year of undergraduate studies at SUNY at Fredonia. I entered SUNY at Fredonia as a major in secondary education, with a concentration in English. It was during my first semester of my freshman year that I had taken an introductory course in psychology. I realized then that I wanted to work with people, but not in the capacity as a secondary education teacher, but in a career in mental health. My professor spoke with such enthusiasm about the subject of psychology and psychopathology and soon, I found myself intrigued with these subjects. I wanted to help individuals who needed the help, especially knowing the stigma mentally illness exists in society.
My passion to become a social worker began when I was pursuing an undergraduate degree.
Growing up in Dayton, the son of a blue collar factory worker, I was repeatedly told that I was going to college so that I could get a job I looked forward to going to every morning. College was not about money, or climbing the social ladder, but about purpose.
Something special in my life is that I’ve always been around little kids, most of my cousins have kids and my family doesn’t really have teenagers it’s only me and sister and the rest are younger. So my whole live I’ve been surrounded by younger kids and I have experience, and I’m really good with children. I like teaching them something new me and my sister taught my little brother and niece how to multiply before they learned in school and that was fun and happy seeing them learn something. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher since I was little it was always on my mind and till this day I still would like to become a teacher for elementary schools.
My life and in addition the life of others around me has been continually managed to by the social environment and the unpredictable path in which society has created and advanced. Despite the fact that it feels to some degree an adage, my energy and craving for the field of social work begins from a bona fide wish to have a positive effect in individuals' lives. Amidst trouble lies opportunity. This is a quote that has dependably implied such a great amount to me, particularly when I was confronted a few problems in my life. I have dependably had an incredible interest in assisting and working with others.
Refereed and Invited Academic and Professional Presentations/Trainings I strive to advance the Department of Social Work’s aim of “promot[ing] actions towards social justice” by disseminating my work to diverse audiences regionally, nationally and internationally. I move between the worlds of social science and policy and practice with ease. As a recognized expert among leading scholars and practitioners in child welfare, I have been invited to present at several child welfare venues, including delivering keynote addresses at national conferences. For example, as mentioned above, I was invited to deliver the annual Child Welfare Lectureship at the University of Texas at Austin at an assembly of 200 child welfare practitioners and advocates
The cultivation of my life experiences can be best summed up as the simultaneous engagement in praxis in three spheres: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and the organizational. The eight plus past years have been a transformative time in which I developed myself into a confident and purpose driven leader, maximizing every opportunity for growth in my respective communities. Through my narrative, I will outline the journey I have taken from my entrance into high school to my completion of formal education at the University of Colorado Boulder. I will remark on cornerstone events that have impacted my leadership development, preparing me to influence meaningful and ethical change for the benefit of myself and others.
