Because I was once homeless myself, I am committed to helping others achieve personal growth and take an interest in their well-being. I find that helping others is rewarding for me in that as long as I can make a positive difference in someone’s life, I will know that I have contributed to that person’s efforts to change his or her life. As a result of my personal experience, I understand the constant despair and frustration experienced by those who find it challenging to cope with everyday life and its problems. I am also convinced that increasing one’s own sense of empowerment can make the difference between a future of despondency and one filled with hope.
I grew up in a single-parent household with my mother, with whom I frequently had arguments. When I found out I was going to have a baby, my relationship with my mother deteriorated further. There was too much family conflict, so I left. Eventually, however, I found myself homeless. Needless to say, being homeless was a constant struggle. Months later, I found a shelter on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, which was the worst part of the experience for me. Here I was- homeless, about to have a baby, with no money and no place to live. I felt alone and felt that nobody cared about my situation. At the shelter I met a social worker, and she helped ease my concerns. I told her of my situation with my mother and she was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. She encouraged me to resolve my conflict with my mother and go back home.
When I moved back home, I made a sincere effort to heal my relationship with my mother. Six months later, I found a job as a counselor working with adolescents who have experienced similar situations to mine. I was able to save enough money to move into my first apartment. From this experience, I learned that I had ability to persevere through my most challenging times. I developed empathy for people struggling with everyday problems and, most of all, I learned the importance of having the support of others. Overall, social workers make a remarkable difference in overcoming life’s challenges.
I am applying to the Master’s in Social Work Program because it is my goal to help others to embrace their inner potential in an effort to make a positive life transition. I began my preparation to achieve my personal goal while I worked at Harbor View Adolescent Center, a level-14 group home facility, as a youth counselor. My primary work responsibility was to serve as a positive role model for adolescents 12 to 18. The adolescents had varied backgrounds, such as being homeless and victims of physical and sexual abuse. Others had problems involving drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and severe behavioral problems. At times the position was exteremely stressful but I discovered that I had the ability to connect with the adolescents and develop strong emotional ties with them. I focused on several areas of treatment, including their social skills, coping skills, and independent living skills. My main ambition was to help them to build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security. Overall, my career goal is to help these individuals because I want to ensure that they have access to effective services, quality resources, and much-needed guidance.
My personal strengths that I bring to social work are: I am highly caring in regards to other individuals’ needs and feelings. I speak Spanish fluently and I can help meet the needs of Non-English speaking clients. I possess solid computer skills and I am very efficient with reports and documentation. I also received and outstanding award for being a “Change Leader 2008″ for improving the quality of the lives of residents that I serve, working diligently to ensure that their medical needs were met.
In conclusion, I want to give back to the community to help others to live their lives to their fullest potential. Through my own experiences, I believe that I can give others the support and guidance that they need to overcome life’s problems. I will work diligently to ensure that these individuals are given the opportunity to turn their lives around with empowering them to make right choices that can improve the quality of their lives. We need to take a stand to make sure that all individuals have the opportunity to thrive, grow, and live their lives to the fullest potential.
