    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up.

    My main concentration right now in my life is my career in Human Services. The education that I am receiving at California State University Dominguez Hills has definitely changed the way I think in regards to people in the society and it has also giving me a background of problems I will run into and what I can do to solve it.

    For some defining social work may be simplistic, however as a professional in the field I often find it challenging to truly define social work straightforwardly. Perhaps it is because nothing about social work is straightforward, one-dimensional or tranquil. In social work, we face countless different circumstances, dynamics, and situations when working with clients, thus making social work is so unique. The social work field demands empathy, resourcefulness, tenacity and tolerance. Professionals in the social work field exemplify advocacy, support, and alleviation to those who are most in need.…

    The first goal I hope to achieve will be to find out who I am now compared to whom I once was. My life has changed so much since I graduated with my associate degree 12 years ago. At that time I did not have a family of my own per say. The responsibilities were nowhere near as difficult as they are now. I did have a good job, but there was no career involved. I have seen firsthand that I now learn differently from what I once had. My mind does not absorb or retain information in the same manner as it once did and it has been difficult to adjust to this change. In these past two weeks and numerous discussions with my peers I am on the way to obtaining this small piece on my goal list. Within this same goal I am able to finish what I had started 12 years ago. That would be to further my education so I may be able to enhance myself. Within improving myself comes along a higher self-esteem, a higher self-worth, emotional stability and a sense of financial stability.…
