    There was one thing that was important to most of the students at my school. That was to be able to go down to a farmhouse and get some of their water since there was no running water. My school was just like the “Little House on the Prairie schoolhouse" as you might call it. It had everything that we ever needed. It had a pot-bellied stove that we would put our wet shoes by when we came in from recess so they’d dry. It was a typical one-room public school house. The one thing I loved about my school was once every week a lady would come to school and teach…

    With the many experiences I have had throughout my life and the clear path I have found to social work, I am very excited to begin field placement. Upon learning USC will choose my first year of field placement, I felt somewhat relieved. During my field placement experience, I would like to gain more exposure to the realm of clinical social work practice and gain more training in areas such as crisis intervention and mental health assessment, as I am particularly interested in social work areas related to mental health. I would like to increase my knowledge of laws and policies in social service systems and how they affect mental health consumers. I also look forward to furthering my understanding of the diverse client populations and improve my working knowledge of different forms of evidence-based practice. Although I am eager to learn more about these areas within social work, I have resigned any expectations I might have because it is likely that I will be placed at an agency opposite of my interests. I see this first year of field placement as an opportunity to learn more about a population or condition that I otherwise might have never had a chance to learn about and experience.…

Many social workers reach their goals and make positive changes in people’s lives. For example, nine year old girl, Marie Rose Surprenant was brutally abused by her mother and her mother’s boyfriend at the age of eight months. She had been rushed to a local hospital with life threatening injuries disabling her from walking, along with burns on her body and fourteen bone fractures. After questions were raised about the lack of care from her mother and boyfriend, Marie was put into the care of doctors, which from there was adopted by the social worker who had been assigned to her case. Marie wrote a letter of gratitude addressing the doctors, detectives, and the social workers that had been involved in her case. The letter reads “I want to thank you for making me happy by giving me a new warm and safe environment. Now I have a home that is nice and I have three nice meals a day. When I was little I got hurt and wasn’t going to walk at all…” “They (doctors, detectives, social workers) asked how I got hurt in the ER but he (mother’s boyfriend) lied and said that I feel out of the bed. That’s when you got involved and solved…
