Reflection On Cumberland's Degree In Social Work

The degree that I have started here at the Cumberland’s is a B.S. in Human Services. My next step will be to obtain my Masters Degree in Social work. At this point in time God has not told me where or in what type of setting I will be working, but he has told me that Social Work is my calling in life. This statement is the one I made at the start of the semester here at UC in our icebreaker discussion board. Its funny to look back at this statement I made, and now five weeks later be able to say that there are no longer any unknowns on were I am meant to work. After five weeks of prayer I now have it narrowed down to the type of work God wants me to be doing. Once I have finished my degree at UC I will start to look for a job as a Social Worker in a school setting as a counselor. I love kids, and fill this is the best way I can help those who cannot help their self. This is a job that I know will not be easy, and at times will be very stressful however it will be a very rewarding job and that is what will make it all worth it in the end.
The path I have planned to take with this career is in a school setting were I would be a school counselor. This is a job that needs to be taken very serious, because for some kids the school counselor could be the only one they feel like they can turn to with their problems whether they are problems at home, or ones at school. Being able to listen is the key to this job. I feel like not jumping to a conclusions or trying to solve the problem before you know all of the facts, and actually listing sometimes is the best way to help every child deal with the problems they are
