I'm sitting here writing about why I want to be a social worker and realized that I needed a place to brainstorm and a place to let you guys know why I want to be a social worker.
Social workers help those who are in need by providing services for those couldn't otherwise locate the services available to them or use their own tools to reach a higher potential. I want to be the person that is there to help, when you feel like there is nothing left, and nowhere to turn to. I want to be the light at the end of a long dark tunnel.
Having dealt with the stress of being a college student - lets make that a BROKE college student. Factor in the fact that I'm constantly worried about something, the lack of sleep, and the ups and downs of being bipolar, having a really high anxiety level. All of these, are the reason that I want to be a social worker.
That may sound strange - I can't handle my own life so I want to help someone elses. The problem isn't that I don't know the answers to a few of my problems. I do. The problem is that a lot of times I choose not to implement them. I choose to avoid the things that I know will help me.
I want to educate, inform, and help those like me, who maybe have a few answers. But don't know how to follow through on them.
