My early experiences in Social work were definitely a driving force. When I was a youth worker, I could see that social work allowed you to have the greatest impact on people’s lives, and be able to drive positive change. I thought my experiences of social work meant I’d bring a lot of knowledge, and how beneficial that could be to the people I was working with. It’s not about saying: “I want to help people, I want to become a big powerful superhero type of person.” My experience in social work has taught me to take the small victories and to assist a person to make small, positive changes in their lives. If that is my legacy to the people I’ve worked with, then I am happy and able to keep going. I think sometimes we, as a professionals, can overvalue our role in people’s lives. What we see as having made a huge difference may not have been as important to them. When the person is doing well and their life has stabilised, that’s when they get discharged from the service.^& ^&Humans love to learn; whether in an academic setting, self taught or otherwise. I enjoy gaining new knowledge and sharing my knowledge to people, sharing skills are more important because it creates more ideas and help each other to know each others interest. ^&
