Becoming a Social Worker: A Dream Fueled by Inspiration |
|
Many people have different goals in life. Some aim to make money or make a name
for themselves, while others want to be useful to society. For me, I want to
become a social worker and serve the poor, the suffering, and the needy. This
idea did not come to me all of a sudden; it is the result of reading the lives
of great men and women who dedicated their lives to the service of the
suffering. From Gautama the Buddha to Mother Theresa, I have studied something
about their lives and how they suffered and worked for others.
To become a social worker is not easy. One must be prepared and mentally trained
for it. I started by helping people at home and in my neighborhood, and I began
to love the old people and to visit the slum areas to talk to people about their
difficulties. I also read books on sociology to know something about it and got
in touch with several societies doing social work.
There are, of course, difficulties on the way, such as parents who may not
approve and a society that may be suspicious of one's intentions. However, after
taking all these into consideration, I have made up my mind to become a social
worker because to me, there is nothing more fulfilling than being able to serve
my fellow beings. |
