Socialization Reflection

He’d say I had to move on from this for everyone, including my clients and self. He would be proud of how I’ve become a better individual since I gained the endurance to multi-task, focus, and deal with problems that come my way with less fear, especially as a single parent.” In the end the occupation of counseling influenced upon Awilda by her mother many years ago has affected her negatively and positively. She was influenced as early as 7 years old where she served as her parents translator assisting them in Dr. appointments, parent conferences, job disputes, and even writing letters for them in English learning her true calling. Sometimes she’d witness professionals or ordinary people discriminate her parents due to their limited English. Determined she told herself, “As I grow up I’ll become a professional to help others with any living issue”.

When I was young, I kept hearing from my Mother, “women should stay at home and do the household chores, such as cleaning the house and taken care of the family, while men is working and providing support for the family.” While growing up, I refuse to accepted it; I don’t want to be a domesticated woman only, I would like to have a career too. The poem of Julia Alvarez, “Woman’s Work”, reminds me of those old days when I was dreaming of my future. I can prove that managing the cleanliness of the house is a hard work. As what Alvarez stated, “Doing her woman’s work was a hard art.” It wasn’t easy to maintained the cleanliness of the house, especially, if you have children running around. Being a mother is not an easy job, it was a lot of work.

Once her sister was brought home, she says that her life was changed forever. Once her parents got divorced and she had to take care of her sisters, she learned a great deal of responsibility. My Mima also believes that taking care of her sisters helped to shape her as a mother and a grandmother. My Mima believes that helping to take care of them when they were young has permanently shaped her as a person. Without that, she says that she believes she would be completely

She did this while also having to attend school. She has had to make great sacrifices in order to provide for her siblings. At Yesmeens age, I could barely take care of myself, let alone my family.

In the 1950s, parenting methods were very different. Mothers were the primary caregivers while the fathers were considered to be the “breadwinners”. Because mothers were the primary caregivers, they often had more of an influence on the children. In this story, the mother’s advice to her daughter was focused on how to cook, clean, and fulfill other household chores. The advice was more than likely based off of how she was raised and what she had to do herself while being a stay at home mother.

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to make a difference and help anyone in need that I possibly could. From the start of my childhood, I can recall helping my mother care for my great grandparents, so they would be able to live out the rest of their lives from their home, instead of in a nursing home. As a young child it was extremely difficult to live with and watch my loved ones deteriorate as they got older, as their condition got worse and worse, and saw my mother having a difficult time keeping up with caring for both of my great grandparents 24/7, it put a lot of stress on the family. However, I am grateful to have been able to help my mother care for them. Growing up in such a caring and loving household made the situation

I agree with him, because all my life my mom always told me, “ To get somewhere in life, you need education.” My mom should know since she struggled with school and finding jobs, but there’s a bigger reason on why i believe in this statement.

One of the other methods which could be used alongside this would be motivational interviewing, as a social worker it is important to explain the practically effects which could be happening when the individual clients is reluctant to take any changers or using the task centred as a lone working approach. Social workers will explain to the client that when the work starts to be collaborative then identifying the problems and goals will be the participate so that goals which are set can be met successfully. This would help the person feel like they are empowered which will give them the confidante to move forward and resolve problematic issues when they arise. (Teater, 2014) However, task centred is not always the best method which should be used as they does not always symbolise and suggest the challengers which individual clients maybe facing when they are being oppressed. When using this method it is important to understand the problems and highlight the main problematic issues which a person maybe suffering from.

As children develop through childhood and into adulthood, they are constantly exposed to factors that affect the formation of their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors while defining their identities (YI-CHING & BILLINGHAM, 2014). Society has many cultural norms for gender identity. Gender refers to the behaviors that a culture deems appropriate for men and women (Matsumoto & Juang, 2013, p. 156). Growing up I was raised in the era of the traditional family, where the female was considered the keeper of the home. I watched my mother do all the cooking, housework, and raising of my sister and me.

Organizational skills are used in the plan for work stage of Human Services. With this skill, one must “think about all the materials you will need, the arrangement of your environment, your own personal issues, as well as the tasks you need to complete in that first interview.” (Kinsella 90) Growing up in a single mother household, I was the one to organize everything between me and my sister. I would oversee laying out the
