As a student who began her academic career without specific goals, I never thought I would write a personal statement for a Master of Social Work application social. However, I now feel that there is no other future for me than to offer my education and my personal commitment to vulnerable people in order to stabilize their lives. After careful consideration of all areas of social work, I have discovered that my primary area of ​​interest is providing resources and encouragement for people with disabilities to gain the freedom to live independent lives without discrimination. My personal goal in this profession is to make every effort to help these people find ways to meet their needs. After spending about a year volunteering at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and completing two field placements at local hospitals, I discovered that my best work is done with the elderly population. These experiences shaped my personal goal to campaign for the civil rights of people with disabilities, particularly those of the older generation.

Many patients in these hospitals have been admitted due to a life-threatening injury or illness. There are millions of Americans with disabilities, but feelings of helplessness, vulnerability, and depression are often evident, as if disability is not common.

I was unable to sit up or get out of bed for about 2 months and I was running out of paper......rs. I completed a minor in philosophy, with a strong emphasis on health care and medical ethics. I intend to adopt the best ethical behavior possible to protect the clients and staff of these social welfare institutions; my goal is to make a difference in the lives of these patients. I am seeking an MSW at the Kent School of Social Work with the goal of gaining the training, experience, and required credentials to prepare me to work with clients with disabilities and their families. I regularly attend workshops and continue my education outside of required coursework, as this effort contributes to my wealth of knowledge about geriatric social work and the tasks required by the profession. I am filled with excitement and eagerness to begin the transition from student to professional, and I appreciate your consideration in helping me achieve my goal..
