Self Reflection About Family and Life Experiences_1
1SELF REFLECTIONWhat is your understanding of how your family and life experiences contributed to who you aretoday?From the very childhood, I have grown up in a joint family where I have noticed unconditionallove for every member towards each other. I used to live along with grandparents, father, mother,three sisters and a brother. Form that very tender age, I have seen my father to provide help tothe underprivileged people by making us visit charities, helping us communicate withdifferently-able children and so on. My mother used to share unconditional love for animals.Every now and then, I along with my sisters would collect dogs, cats, hamsters left on roadpurposely in a victimised situation. We were always taught to extend our help to anyone whoneeded it. Whenever we used to bring that unfortunate animal, my parent always encouraged usand never scolded for picking them up. Rather we altogether looked upon them until they arewell and fit enough to leave. My mother was an admirer of Florence Nightingale and hermotivational stories always infused in me a strong sense of love for human kind who arevulnerable to ill health and need help. In Year 8, I requested my parents to let me work in acommunity care as I used to love the way how the unhealthy individuals used to become happywith the very little help we provided them. Although I was not allowed at that time as I had noknowledge of proper care, they told me that If I am so keen in helping them, I should preparemyself mentally, emotionally and academically to help them. Since then I had always dreamt ofbeing a social workers and help people during their most vulnerable times of their lives to makethem happy.

2SELF REFLECTIONWhat factors have contributed to your decision to become a social worker? With the great ideals inculcated in me due to the influence of my parents and families, I alwayslooked upon this career choice as the best option. My parents loved helping people and this loveof them had hereditarily influenced me to take up the professionals I like them have also lovedhuman being a lot. Besides, my familial and personal preferences, another factor that made metook the career is the opportunity for standing up for human rights as well as social justice. Ipersonally use to feel sad when people faced inequality in care, poor suffered more than theprivileges, homelessness of people when others resides in lavish homes, seeing them in pain, Idecides to stand up for human rights as well as social justice. I ensured that when I wouldbecome a social carer, I would provide a hundred percent everyday to help those who facedinjustice, homelessness or others by giving them the best service. Practically working with socialissues fills an individual with feeling of satisfaction and hopefulness as we are trying to developthe quality of lives for the unprivileged individuals providing them of better scope for living.Thirdly, the feeling that I could be a person who can change some one’s life for the better and theservice user providing me a smile as a token of service made me focus on the career. Fourthly,being a social worker will expose me to different types of unique situations and often to extremesas well. It will help me to face challenging situations while handling patients who are aggressive,suicide prone, naïve, vulnerable to physical harm and many others. Handling them will help meto learn new insights of life every time and I will learn more about my weakness and strengthand can work on them in a more polished way. Hence, I decided to be a social worker.
