I am concerned with the needs of everyone in my community and I am passionate about helping our most vulnerable individuals; specifically our troubled and neglected youth. I want to become a social worker so I can empower these individuals to help them overcome their problems and change their lives for the better.<br />
I am a thirty-four year old woman who has overcome a period of homelessness in my life. When I was homeless, having an advocate and mentor helped me connect with employment services. But first I needed someone to meet me where I was and treat me with dignity.<br />
I had a mentor that taught and guided me in my life. The impact that she had on my life inspired me to want to help others. I want to use the knowledge and understanding I have gained to assist people in changing their lives. I believe education is the key to being able to do that. Specifically, a Master’s degree in Social Work would put me in the greatest position for achieving my goal. A social worker on Skid Row in Los Angeles started me on the path toward healing my own life. She provided me with constant support and a sense of hope. Six months later, I found a job as a youth counselor at Harbor View Adolescent Center, a residential treatment center, working with adolescents who had behavioral and emotional problems. I believe that Social Work is the professional track that is the best match for my being able to make a positive difference in the lives of adolescents.<br />
In my job as a youth counselor, my primary work responsibility was to serve as a positive role model for adolescents aged twelve to eighteen. The residents had encountered issues such as homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, and criminal justice system. At times, my job was extremely stressful. But I discovered that I had the ability to connect with the adolescents and develop strong emotional ties with them. I focused on helping them with their social skills, coping skills, and independent living skills. My main goal was to help them build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security.<br />
There were many times that these adolescents would exhibit dangerous behavior. Often times the adolescents would self-harm themselves. I would get stuck in knowing what the best clinical approach to use when a child is self-harming. I would like to have better tools for helping these kids when they are in crisis, and whether those interventions are well supported by literature.<br />
The guiding principle of my life is that each of us has a duty to help and serve others, to seek out marginalized and less fortunate individuals of our communities and offer any aid that we can. I have always lived by the motto “do unto others as you would have done to you”, and feel that the best way to do this is by furthering the ideal of social justice in the way I live and work. Social justice, as I see it, is the value system that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every human being and the right of everyone to be treated fairly and with respect. I believe that every individual is worthy of dignity and respect and each individual has the ability to become self-sufficient and able to make the best possible decisions for themselves. When we as a society try to see the world through the eyes of the less fortunate, we can empathize with and understand one another instead of focusing on our differences. Only when each and every individual of a community is afforded the same level of dignity and respect can a society truly be called civilized. Those who cannot demand social justice for themselves must have a voice to demand it for them. It is my hope that by earning a Master‘s degree in Social Work I can be that voice.<br />
Our collective well being is improved if we live in a peaceful, flourishing, supportive society, so promoting well being should be a public as well as a personal task. Well being is more than just happiness. It is about having meaning in our lives, developing as a person and feeling that our lives are fulfilling and worthwhile. Well being comes from having a web of relationships and interests. Family and friends, agencies and communities all can increase our well being. Our relationships also provide for our most basic human needs. While helping us to have a fulfilling life, our relationships help us to live our lives to the fullest potential. Through our relationships, we are sustained in our personal growth and development. Our relationships are the substance to how each of us grow and interact with each other. The relationship substance strengthens our bonds and builds trust. As we grow, we learn from life experiences after leaving our parents.<br />
Re-enforcement of values is what makes us who we are as individuals. For example, support and confidence from others helps to mold us into being a positive part of society. W</p>

While I am concerned with the needs of everyone in my community, I am passionate about helping our most vulnerable individuals; most specifically our troubled and neglected youth. I want to become a social worker so I help my young neighbors in the Latino community change their lives for the better.<br />
	I am a thirty-four year old woman with a history that includes an unstable home life, teen pregnancy, and a period of homelessness. I have emerged from that downward spiral and put my life on a more positive track. I’ve learned some things about myself along the way and gained a perspective that I want to share with others. I’ve learned that I have the ability to persevere through challenging times. I’ve gained empathy for the struggles that people go through. I understand the constant despair and frustration of those who find it difficult to cope with  everyday life. I know that developing a sense of one’s own power can make the difference between a future of despondency or one filled with hope.<br />
	I didn’t turn my life around by myself. I had help. Because others helped me, I want to be that help for others. I want to use the knowledge and understanding I’ve gained to assist people in changing their lives for the better. I believe education is the key to being able to do that. Specifically, a Master’s degree in Social Work would give me the greatest advantage in achieving my goal. It was a social worker on Skid Row Los Angeles who started me on the path toward healing my own life. She provided me with constant support and a sense of hope. She encouraged me to resolve my conflict with my mother and return home. When I moved back home, I made a sincere effort to repair my relationship with my mother. Six months later, I found a job as a youth counselor, working with adolescents who had stories similar to mine. The seed was planted to pursue a career in helping young people during the time I worked at Harbor View Adolescent Center, a level-14 group home facility.<br />
	In my job as a youth counselor, my primary work responsibility was to serve as a positive role model for adolescents aged twelve to eighteen. The residents had backgrounds of being homeless and victims of physical and sexual abuse. Some of them were also dealing with drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and the criminal justice system. At times, my job was extremely stressful. But I discovered that I had the ability to connect with the adolescents and develop strong emotional ties with them. I focused on helping them with their social skills, coping skills, and independent living skills. My main goal was to help them build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security. As a youth counselor, I learned the value of listening to adolescents in order to be able to guide them in making positive decisions that improve the quality of their lives.<br />
	The guiding principle of my life is that each of us has a duty to help and serve others, to seek out marginalized and less fortunate individuals of our communities and offer any aid that we can. I have always lived by the motto “do unto others as you would have done to you,” and feel that the best way to do this is by furthering the ideal of social justice in the way I live and work.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am applying to the Master&#8217;s in social Work program because my goal is to improve the lives and enhance the well being of individuals who are often discriminated, disadvantaged, and poor. I want to help others maximize their potential and steer their lives in a positive direction. I am particularly concerned about helping change the lives of our most vulnerable individuals, troubled and neglected youth. Therefore, I want to become a social worker to make a positive difference in their lives and empower these individuals to help them function more effectively with their problems.<br />
	I am a thirty four year old woman who struggled and overcame being homeless. When I was homeless, having an advocate and an mentor helped me connect with employment services. But first I needed someone to meet me where I was and treat me with dignity.<br />
	I had a mentor that taught and guided me with in my life. The impact that she had on my life inspired me to want to help others. I want to use the knowledge and understanding I have gained to assist people in changing their lives. I believe education is the key to being able to do that. Specifically, a Master&#8217;s degree in Social Work would put me in the greatest position for achieving my goal. A social worker on Skid Row in Los Angeles started me on a path toward healing my own life. She provided me with constant support and a sense of hope. Six months later, I found a job as a youth counselor  at H.V. Group Home, a residential treatment facility, working with incarcerated youth who were mostly minorities. I am deeply concerned by the high incarceration rates in our society, specifically the way youth lead the way  in going to jail, rather than being productive individuals in society. It is my sincere hope to contribute on how to best counsel and care for at risk youth. My research interest focuses on juveniles, especially those at risk spending their young adulthood behind bars.<br />
	In my job as a youth counselor, my primary work responsibility was to serve as a positive role model for adolescents aged twelve to eighteen. The residents encountered issues such as physical and sexual abuse and homelessness. Some of them had problems with drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and juvenile justice system. At times my job was extremely 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 goal was to help them build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security.<br />
	The adolescents could become physically assaultive and self-harm themselves. It was during these critical situations that I would experience problems in knowing what to the best clinical approach was to use when a child was self-harming. I would like to have better tolls to help these kids when they are in crises and know whether the interventions work. I hope that with the aid of the Master&#8217;s degree in Social Work I can achieve that. I want to be able to help them in their time of crises and teach them the necessary skills the kids will need to transition into a more independent way of living. These youth need all the attention we can give them in order to prevent recidivism, especially African Americans and Hispanic males, who tend to continually come back into the system. If your program were to grant me the privilege of studying in your program, I would like to research the recidivism rates of African American and Hispanic juveniles and young adults. I hope to contribute to our understanding of how we can improve the quality of lives of these individuals.<br />
In my life, I have set my own guiding principles. Although I can talk about my biggest principles. Inspiration can come in a multitude of forms, but mine comes in the form of service. As a career, I want to be a social worker, helping the poor, the hurt, and those whose lives have dealt them a bad hand. To me, gratitude would be enough to keep me going. I have always lived by the motto &#8220;do unto others as you would have done to you”, and feel that the best way to do this is by furthering the ideal of social justice in the way I live and work. Social justice, as I see it, is the value system that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every human being and the right of everyone to be treated fairly and with respect. I believe that every individual is worthy of dignity and respect and each individual has the ability to become self-sufficient and able to make the best possible decisions for themselves. When we as a society try to see the world through the eyes of the less fortunate, we can empathize with and understand one another instead of focusing on our differences. Only when each and every individual of a community is afforded the same level of dignity and respect can a society truly be called civilized.

I want to become a social worker so I can empower these individuals to help them overcome their problems and change their lives for the better.<br />
I am a thirty-four-year-old woman who has overcome challenges in my life such as a period of homelessness. I have escaped that downward  spiral and put my life on a positive track. Sometimes life can be challenging, but if you are able to persevere, you came come out a stronger person because of those situations. I understand the despair and frustration to those who find coping with everyday life difficult Developing a sense of one&#8217;s own power can make the difference between a future of despondency or one filled with hope.<br />
I had a mentor in my life who taught and guided me and because of this I recognized the impact she had on my life inspired me to want to help others. I want to use the knowledge and understanding I have gained to assist people in changing their lives for the better. I believe education is the key to being best able to help. Specifically, a Master&#8217;s degree in Social Work would put me in the greatest position for achieving my goal. It was a social worker on Skid Row Los Angeles who started me on the path toward healing my own life. She provided me with the constant support and a sense of hope. Six months later, I found a job as a youth counselor, working with adolescents who had stories similar to mine. This was my professional calling to pursue a career in helping young people during the time I worked at Harbor View Adolescent Center, a level-fourteen group home facility.<br />
In my job as a youth counselor, my primary work responsibility was to serve as a positive role model for adolescents aged twelve to eighteen. The residents&#8217; backgrounds included being homeless and being victims of physical and sexual abuse. Some of them had problems with drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and the criminal justice system. At times, my job was extremely stressful. But I discovered that I had the ability to connect with the adolescents and develop strong emotional ties with them. I focused on helping them with their social skills, coping skills, and independent living skills. My main goal was to help them build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security. As a youth counselor, I learned the value of listening to adolescents  in order to be able to guide them in making positive decisions that improve the quality of their lives.<br />
The guiding principle of my life is that each of us has a duty to help and serve others, to seek out marginalized and less fortunate individuals of our communities and offer any aid that we can. I have always lived by the motto&#8221; do unto others as you would have done to you&#8221;, and feel that the best way to do this by furthering the ideal of social justice in the way I live and work. Social justice, as I see it, is the value system that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every human being and the right of everyone to be treated fairly and with respect. I believe that every individual is worthy of dignity and respect and each individual has the ability to become self-sufficient to make their own choices for themselves. When we, as a society, try to see the world through the eyes of the less fortunate, we gain empathy and understanding instead of focusing on our differences. Only when every individual of a community is afforded the same level of dignity and respect can a society truly be called civilized. Those who cannot demand social justice for themselves must have a voice to demand it for them. It is my hope that by earning my Master&#8217;s degree in Social Work I can be one of those voices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am applying to the Master’s in Social Work Program because my goal is to improve the lives and enhance the well being of individuals that are discriminated, disadvantaged and poor. I want to help others maximize their potential and steer their lives in a positive direction. I am particularly concerned about helping change the lives of our most vulnerable individuals troubled and neglected youth. However, I want to be a social worker to make a positive difference in their lives and help them function more effectively with their problems. I am a thirty four year old woman who struggled and overcame being homeless. When I was homeless, having an advocate and an mentor helped me connect with employment services. But first I needed someone to meet me where I was and treat me with dignity.<br />
I had a mentor that taught and guided me in my life. The impact that she had on my life inspired me to want to help others. I want to use that knowledge and understanding I have gained to assist people in changing their lives. I believe education is the key to being able to do that. Specifically, a Master’s degree in Social Work would put me in the greatest position for achieving my goal. A social worker on Skid Row in Los Angeles started me on a path toward healing my own life. She provided me with constant support and a sense of hope. Six months later, I found a job as a youth counselor at H.V. Group Home, a residential treatment facility, working with incarcerated youth who were mostly minorities. I am deeply concerned by the high incarceration rates in our society, specifically the way youth lead the way in going to jail, rather than going to college or working. It is my sincere hope to contribute on how to best counsel and care for at risk youth. My research interest focuses on troubled youth, especially those at risk of spending their young adulthood behind bars.<br />
In my job as a youth counselor, my primary responsibility while working was to serve as a positive role model for adolescents aged twelve to fourteen. The adolescents encountered issues such as physical and sexual abuse, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and problems with the law. At times, my job could be extremely stressful. I focused on several areas of treatment including their social skills, coping skills, and independent living skills. My main goal was to help them build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security.<br />
The adolescents were physically assault and self-harm themselves. It was during these critical situations that I would experience problems in knowing what the best clinical approach was to use when a child was self-harming. I would like to have better tools to help these kids when they are in crises and know whether the interventions  are supported by the literature. I hope that with the aid of the Master’s degree in Social Work, I can achieve that. I want to be able to help them in their time of crises and teach them the necessary skills the kids will need to transition into a more independent way of living. These youth need all the attention we can give them in order to prevent recidivism, especially African American and Hispanic males, who tend to continually come back into the system. If you were to grant me the privilege of studying in your program, I would like to research the recidivism rates of African American and Hispanic juveniles and young adults. I hope to contribute to our understanding of how we can improve the quality of lives of these individuals.<br />
In my life, I have set my own guiding principles. Although I can talk about my biggest principle, inspiration. It can come in a multitude of forms, but mine comes in the form of service. As a career, I want to be a social worker, helping the poor, the hurt, and those whose lives have dealt them a bad hand. I have always lived by the motto “do unto others as you would have done to you”, and feel that the best way to do this is by furthering the ideal of social justice in the way I live and work. Social justice, as I see it, is the value system that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every human being and the right of everyone to be treated fairly and with respect. When we as a society truly endeavor to see the world through the eyes of the less fortunate, we can empathize with and understand one another. Only when each and every individual of a community is afforded the same level of dignity and respect can a society truly be called civilized. Those who cannot demand social justice for themselves must have a voice to demand it for them. It is my hope that by earning a Master’s degree in Social Work I can be that voice.</p>

While I am concerned with the needs of everyone in my community, I am passionate about helping our most vulnerable individuals; most specifically our troubled and neglected youth. I want to become a social worker so I can help my young neighbors in impoverished communities and change their lives for the better.<br />
	I am a thirty-four year old woman with a history that includes an unstable home life, teen pregnancy, and a period of homelessness. I have emerged from that downward spiral and put my life on a more positive track. I’ve learned some things about myself along the way and gained a perspective that I want to share with others. I’ve learned that I have the ability to persevere through challenging times. I’ve gained empathy for the struggles that people go through. I understand the constant despair and frustration of those who find it difficult to cope with everyday life. I know that developing a sense of ones own power can make the difference between a future of despondency or one filled with hope.<br />
	I didn’t turn my life around by myself. I had help and because others helped me, I want to be that help for others. I want to use the knowledge and understanding I’ve gained to assist people in changing their lives for the better. I believe education is the key to being able to do that. Specifically, a Master’s degree in Social Work would give me the greatest advantage in achieving my goal. It was a social worker on Skid Row Los Angeles who started me on the path toward healing my own life. She provided me with constant support and a sense of hope. She encouraged me to resolve my conflict with my mother and return home. When I moved back home, I made a sincere effort to repair my relationship with my mother. Six months later, I found a job as a youth counselor, working with adolescents who had stories similar to mine. The seed was planted to pursue a career in helping young people during the time I worked at Harbor View Adolescent Center, a level-14 group home facility.<br />
	In my job as a youth counselor, my primary work responsibility was to serve as a positive role model for adolescents aged twelve to eighteen. The residents had backgrounds of being homeless and victims of physical and sexual abuse. Some of them were also dealing with drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and the criminal justice system. At times, my job was extremely stressful. But I discovered that I had the ability to connect with the adolescents and develop strong emotional ties with them. I focused on helping them with their social skills, coping skills, and independent living skills. My main goal was to help them build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security. As a youth counselor, I learned the value of listening to adolescents in order to be able to guide them in making positive decisions that improve the quality of their lives.<br />
	The guiding principle of my life is that each of us has a duty to help and serve others, to seek out marginalized and less fortunate individuals of our communities and offer any aid that we can. I have always lived by the motto “do unto others as you would have done to you”, and feel that the best way to do this is by furthering the ideal of social justice in the way I live and work. Social justice, as I see it, is the value system that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every human being and the right of everyone to be treated fairly and with respect.

Those who cannot demand social justice for themselves must have a voice to demand it for them. It is my hope that by earning a Master‘s degree in Social Work I can be that voice.<br />
	Our collective well being is improved if we live in a peaceful, flourishing, supportive society, so promoting well being should be a public as well as a personal task. Well being is more than just happiness. It is about having meaning in our lives, developing as a person and feeling that our lives are fulfilling and worthwhile. Well being comes from having a web of relationships and interests. Family and friends, agencies and communities all can increase our well being. Our relationships also provide for our most basic human needs. While helping us to have a fulfilling life, our relationships help us to live our lives to the fullest potential. Through our relationships, we are sustained in our personal growth and development. Our relationships are the substance to how each of us grow and interact with each other. The relationship substance strengthens our bonds and builds trust. As we grow, we</p>
