Personal Experience Essay

1105 Words5 Pages

Education and Personal Experience After I came to Macao to further my study, I realize that social science is worthy of my learning. For my first two year of university, I spent more time adapting the new life and concentrating on my study. For instance, I studied Cantonese and I can speak it fluently in my daily life. Also, I learned lots of extraordinary social phenomena in Macao such as pathological gamblers, migrant workers and industrial transformation. By using after-class time, I traveled to lots of places and learn about different social circumstance in many countries. I believe sociology is helpful and meaningful and I will pursue my master degree in the future. At present, I am a junior student who have a more mature and far-reaching …show more content…

NGOs are only a small part of sociology but it plays a significant role in my daily study. Basically, I will be confident and proud of myself when I do internships in the NGO because I studied lots of sociology theories during the three-year period. When I do the internship in Ireland, I can practice my English and integrate into a new environment. After I graduate from the university, I intend to pursue my master degree in an English-speaking country such as Australia and Britain. By doing some work in the internship, I can study to adapt to a new environment as quickly as possible and to be independent in my daily life. At a deeper level, I will be more professional and experienced in analyzing social phenomena and dealing with different social affairs. In the future, I also want to set up a NGO as I know it can be very influential and approved among the public. Especially in China, there are lots of aspects of NGOs still need to be improved. The NGOs can not only provide more opportunities and help for the public and but also awaken people’s awareness such as protecting environment and legal rights. Although I know a person’s power is very limited and trivial, I believe I can pass on my thoughts to my friends, classmates and future

While my education continued to teach me valuable lessons and give me hands on experience I began to gain a stronger sense rooted in development and the protection of others by hopefully continuing my education at Loyola University Chicago in the Masters of Social Work/Masters of Arts in Social Justice Program which would give me the opportunity to not only eventually become a social worker with the Department of Social Services (DSS), with a school, or a guardian ad litem but to do that work effectively with the chance that would be afforded to me of an academic background steeped in social work as well as social justice teachings. This program in particular continues the undergraduate work and furthers my education on my path to my

  • Personal Narrative: Congressional Internship

    I want more opportunities to apply a person-centric and collaborative approach to service that empowers people to improve their own quality of life. In the short term, I want to dedicate the summers during law school entirely to public service internships in places like the Department of Justice or in Congressional legal offices. In the long term, I want to prosecute systematic corruption, tackle fraud, and fight for oppressed communities as a federal prosecutor or even an attorney general. Like the disabled veteran I met, so many disadvantaged individuals are forgotten and left to fend for themselves against the systemic oppression and indifference. As a lawyer, I hope to partner with victims of indifference and oppression, like the people of Ferguson, Missouri and Flint, Michigan so to empower them to improve their quality of life through the legal process.

    This clinical experience has really helped me to sharpen my communication skills and realize just how important it is to understand mental health. We are told multiple times in class that mental health issues can be seen on any floor and that is the truth. I’ve seen patients in my older adult clinical on the pulmonary floor suffer from issues that range from anxiety to bipolar disorder and depression. Being able to understand how to approach people that suffer from these types of illnesses, allows us, the nurses, to give the patient the best care that we can. It helps to build a trusting relationship and get to know them on a personal level.

    I think I am still weak in this aspect. One is that, although the university is an international one and has students from all over the world, our courses are mainly focusing on the Asian area, especially Hong Kong and Mainland China. For example, in my courses of Taxation and Business Law, I was only taught the practices of Hong Kong. In addition, it is difficult to change the personal ways of thinking, which has been kept for many years. I always express ideas only from the perspective of a Chinese, instead of a global outlook, and that has narrowed my thoughts to a great extent.
