Social Work Goals

In five years, I want to be living a successful lifestyle and working as a social worker. A successful lifestyle may mean different things to different people; this is what it means to me. In five years, I will be 25 years old. I have many goals I want to achieve in each aspect of my life. In my education, my goal is to be graduated from Sac State with a bachelor’s degree in Social Work. In this field, I want to gain at least 2 to 3 years of experience in the next 5 years. Currently, I do not know what population I want to work with, but I hope to have a better understanding of that by 25. My goal is to have a full-time job in social work. Furthermore, I strive to have very little amount of debt to pay off. My goal is to have at least 2 months worth of income saved away for a rainy day. Lastly, there are some hopes I have for my spiritual life. I aim to fall in love with God and serve Him and other people. I would like to be married by 25. One dream I have is to serve alongside my husband in the missionary field and I hope it happens by 25.
While going to school, I will continue to intern at my agency. By the fall of 2018, I would have interned at the Sacramento Food Bank for one year, then I plan on getting a job within my field. This will allow me to gain experience in the field and working with different populations to find the one I am most passionate about. Having more experience will also allow me to achieve my goal of getting a full time job. Having an entry level job while going to school will also allow me to achieve my financial goals. I won’t fall behind in my tuition very much, and it will also allow me to save
