Over the past year, I have been working towards my Master of Social Work at Southern Adventist University, and this portfolio exhibits the knowledge and experience that I have gained.<\/p>\n

I can relate to the many that say they decided to become a social worker because they want to help people. The desire to help others is a common (almost clich\u00e9) reason for becoming a social worker, but it makes sense, considering how naturally good it feels. As I have grown in my understanding, I have come to realize that, to me, social work is far more than pursing the rewarding feeling of helping others. To me social work is a calling to “Learn to do good;\u00a0<\/span>Seek justice,\u00a0<\/span>Rebuke the oppressor;\u00a0<\/span>Defend the fatherless,\u00a0<\/span>Plead for the widow” (Isaiah 1:17).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having a deep realization that I am called to live for others propels me in the way that I choose to live personally and professionally. My education has provided me with tools and more opportunities to do so. Ultimately, God is my rock and gives me all that I need to walk in His calling.<\/p>\n
