Knowingly or unknowingly various strands of practical problems often play a vital role in leading us to our greatest endeavors and forging the future. As I realize it now, it was not until my tenth grade when I thought and felt that I could make a change, a positive change in someone else’s life and it is the best feeling. In my village there was a problem of domestic violence, it was always hindering the children of those family: emotionally and mentally. It was a challenge, adjusting in their own family so I made an effort to help these kids and women, as I have been reading in my books about what should be done in this situation. I collaborated with small organization and a district police. After the incident I got the motivation and courage …show more content…

As for me, I belong to a country where there is very little awareness regarding the dimensions of problems faced by individual despite of the growing issues. The overall aspects of the problems faced by an individual is not given as importance as one’s physical health. In such scenario, it can be easily figured out that the number of professionals working in this sector such as social worker is very less in number. The people there are yet to recognize its role and importance. So, I am very much interested to study Masters in Social Work as it will help me in developing advance social work knowledge and skills and become a professional social worker in the near future. I believe that this degree will open doors of opportunities for me to grow personally as well as professionally and contribute valuably my skills and expertise in the social work field.

I also want to contend that my background has not only qualified me practically but also given me the right mind-set for such a career prospect. I strongly believe in blending of theoretical concepts with the practice. With a sound academic and professional career in social work field behind me, I believe, I can stake a claim of upper hand as far as my choices of subjects are concerned. Therefore, if you could endow me an admission in the course I am willing to pursue with a financial assistantship in the form of RA/TA/GA based on my merit, I will feel a step closer to the goal of conducting research worthy of academic and experimental

    Social work skills, theoretical knowledge and values that has been learnt and obtained through both of my placements has and will continue to be a fundamental component of my emerging social work identity. Work being undertaken, whether that being in a government or non-government organisation, has proven to be at times difficult, as often organisations which state that they provide diversity, social justice and inclusive practice are restricted by funding constraints, hierarchical structures and rigid polices. Personally having had two non-government placements, it has been difficult to be able to first-hand make these comparisons. However, through speaking with peers in my PSAG group and through government agency visits conducted on my previous and current placement, it has reinforced that even though we as social workers are working with such rigid and stricken policies, by using a wide range of practice skills and theoretical knowledge that has been acquired throughout my two
