Career Choice
As a child do you remember knowing what career path you would take? I certainly did, or at least I thought I did. When I was younger I always talked about being a social worker. As I got older and started to build my life it changed. I went from being a teacher to being a nurse.
Although I went to school for medical I still feel in my heart that my career path is in social work. Now that I know what career path I will take it is up to me to make it happen. With the drive and ambition instilled in me there is no other outcome but success.
From the time I was a young child I had the dream to help others. I hoped to one day be able to give others the kind of care and compassion that was once shown to my family. Many people have taken time away from their families to assist mine. For instance one time the church came to our house and replaced all the windows. Our windows were all missing and we were not financially able to replace them ourselves. As a child, we did not have much food or money.
One thing we did prosper in was love. My mother was a very loving and caring person. Even though we did not have much she was always there to help other less fortunate families. For many years we could not afford to cook thanksgiving or Christmas dinner but my mother would have our family serving dinner to other hungry families. This is why I am so focused on my career now. This is why I am working hard to become a social worker. I want to be a socialworker that can help those in need when they most need it. I grew up very poor and went without. Many times the kindness of others helped us get through to the next week or month. I hope that I can make a difference in a family’s life like our social worker was in ours.
I was the youngest of five children. We were raised in Southern California in a town called Riverside. My mother was of strong Christian faith and did what she could to keep us in church. My brother and I attended Christian school
