My introduction to Social Work began with an intensely personal experience. Throughout my life, I had problems at home, so I ran away, which resulted in my becoming homeless. For thirty-four years, I struggled with poverty and being a victim of domestic violence. I was fortunate to find a mentor, my social worker who helped me get my life together, change direction, get a job, and secure a home, setting me on a path towards healing my pain. She provided me with regular support and gave me a sense of hope that everything would be fine. I was given a priceless gift, having an advocate that genuinely cared for her client and treated me with the utmost dignity. I was left wanting to do more for the people around me, using my experiences and lessons learned to help others who may be struggling with similar problems. Crafting a Vision for Social Work: An Artistic Representation of Holistic Care in MSW Personal Statements. Now, by helping others, my own struggles will never be in vain. Coupled with this is my intense interest in and desire to understand in greater depth the human mind and spirit. For me, the best avenue for serving the community is by becoming a professional social worker with an MSW Degree, focusing on my passion for improving the lives of those around me. One of the biggest inspirations in my life is my family, particularly my son. He is my rock, keeping me focused and motivated, with an unswerving aim to obtain the finest graduate education possible in Social Work. Completing my MSW will enable me to help improve lives and make them sustainable and fulfilling. Passionate Latina aspiring to advance social work and address domestic violence, depicted in a vibrant illustration as she crafts her statement of purpose, surrounded by symbols of growth, learning, and cultural pride. Thanks to my own social worker and mentor, and my enthusiasm for wanting to reach out to others, I began working with youth from different ethnic backgrounds between the ages of twelve and eighteen. They bear the scars of behavioral and emotional problems, physical and sexual abuse, drugs, and alcohol addiction. My primary responsibility at the group home is to serve as a positive role model for these adolescents. I found it upsetting to see these young people making or being forced by circumstance to tak3 wrong turns in life. The same help that I received from my mentor is the gift that I would like to give back to others, particularly at-risk adolescents. I want to show them that there is a better life and future available if they choose to make the right decisions, to end the downward spiral. As a counselor, I help them foster good decision-making, coping, social, and life skills, tools that they can use to make their lives more productive and positive. Even more than this, I show them that utilizing these tools will lead to more personally fulfilling, independent, safer, and healthier lives. Crafting a compelling MSW Social Work Statement of Purpose with expert writing and editing assistance. Many of the adolescents that I worked with attempted to physically assault the people around them, self-mutilated, or threatened to hurt themselves. Faced with these critical situations I would seek out the best clinical approach to help them. I would like to amplify my tool kit to help my clients, especially when they are in crisis, with interventions that are supported by published research. With the MSW Degree I will be able to help individuals from going back into the system or falling further through societal cracks. My own research interests include, but are not limited to, effective ways of preventing members of minority groups from re-entering the social services system, ways to at least slow down the revolving door of perpetual dysfunction. My desire to help others is a manifestation of my caring heart, and I have found a viable outlet in the form of Social Work. Nothing would bring me more personal, professional, or spiritual satisfaction than to help the poor, the hurt, and those whose lives have dealt them a bad hand, at all costs. I have always lived by the motto do unto others as you would have done unto 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 is the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the right of everyone to be treated with respect. Only when we endeavor to see the world through the eyes of the less fortunate, can we truly empathize with one another. Only when the most vulnerable among us are cared for can we consider ourselves to be a moral and just society. Those who cannot demand social justice for themselves need someone to demand it for them. It is my hope and confidence that by earning the MSW I can be such a voice. We all form relationships with others during our lifetime, and these relationships can make all the difference and bring an ample measure of fulfillment. Whether these relationships are with our family, friends, or others, it is important to have healthy and productive relationships. The benefits include a higher level of self-esteem and improvements to our mental and emotional health that enrich our lives. The relationships we have with others can benefit us throughout all stages of our life. Through our relationships, we are sustained and motivated by our personal growth and development. Relationships strengthen our bonds with other people and build trust. From this sense of trust, we find that our self-esteem, self-confidence, and our wellbeing are improved. They continue to provide us with the support that we need to grow and handle challenges that we may face soon. It is important for individuals to listen to each other to work through their problems. Relationships inevitably change or evolve over time, a reflection of how we all change as individuals, because of our lived experiences. Having positive relationships with others is essential and so is trust. Trust influences everyone we meet. It affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, and every effort in which we are engaged. As a social worker, I bring my patience and willingness to listen, building the trust that is so integral to healing and the management of our lives. The individuals whom I want to assist come from diverse races and cultures. Thus, being aware of cultural differences and how they affect behavior, views, ways of thinking and learning, is integral to assisting in a system that is increasingly multicultural given the influx of immigrants into the US social services system. We must respect our differences, irrespective of where people come from geographically or socio-economically, their religious or cultural beliefs, or ethnicity. I come from a diverse background. My father is of African descent and my mother is Mexican. The county where I was raised in the USA is 80% Hispanic and Latino. We all interacted with one another regardless of our backgrounds. Because of the people I grew up around, I had the opportunity to learn and become fluent in Spanish, a source of pride in my own heritage. I always assumed, wrongly, of course, that anyone who spoke Spanish was of Mexican heritage. I began to learn about the diversity of Spanish speaking individuals and learned that not just people of Mexican background know Spanish, but a multitude of other nationalities. My curiosity about people's backgrounds grew and I frequently asked other Spanish speakers where they were from. One day, there was a family sitting next to us and I overheard one of them, a woman, speaking Spanish, and I immediately assumed she was from Mexico. Turning to ask her where she was from, I was surprised to learn she was from Honduras. In that moment, I learned that if we never ask questions about someone's culture, then we would never learn to recognize their differences and similarities. If more people took the time to inquire about each other, our lives could be enriched. It pains me greatly when I see individuals whose lives have been turned upside down because of bad choices, often becoming homeless. I can relate to this because I was once homeless and am intimately aware of the ways that many people struggle, I recognize now that sometimes all people need is a little to help to get them back on track. I want to provide these lost souls with the necessary tools and resources that can help them with their lives. The most important part of my plan of action is to set up objectives and goals for everyone, with everyone receiving counseling to help them with their unique needs. For example, a homeless person who was addicted to drugs would need to be first rehabilitated and helped with their addiction. A person who lost their home to financial issues could benefit from financial planning counseling. The plan would also provide them with family contact if they were unable to reach their family members alone. We need to find job opportunities for many of our clients, staying with them until they procure a job. By working together, social workers in the community, we can help the homeless regain hope and change their lives. We can combine efforts with community resources and provide them with the tools that can change their lives. By encouraging hope and promoting opportunity, we could prove to be the very avenue that launches a generation of people whose lives are changed and improved. I bring with me to the student body and to the Social Work field a keen sense of responsibility, patience, and resolve to achieve my goals and improve myself. I want to be an effective social worker with commitment and enthusiasm for the profession, feeling boundless joy when I see my clients taking the first steps towards recovery, celebrating their joy and accomplishment. Social Workers must also be good planners, particularly considering the heavy caseloads many are faced with. Thus, good preparation and time management skills are needed, the ability to make/set schedules in a timely manner; I know this is something that I would have to improve upon as far as setting my own schedule. Lastly, I need to hone my existing skills in such areas as conflict management and confrontation. In addition to being a caring and compassionate person, I am also very patient, highly motivated and a very dedicated learner. The challenges that I have experienced in my life have made me who I am today. When I see a client in a hole they cannot get out of, I will get in the hole with them. I will be able to tell them not to worry, I have been here before, and I know the way out. Therefore, I am motivated to help others function more effectively with their problems by providing them with the necessary tools and resources that can help them within their lives. MSW Social Work Statement of Purpose Domestic Violence

Aspiring medical student prepares her NYC bachelor's degree personal statement amidst a backdrop of scientific exploration and discovery. I was raised by a pair of doctors in Uzbekistan. My mother is a cardiologist, and my father is a neurosurgeon. As a result, I was always encouraged to believe that becoming a doctor was for me the most natural course in the world. As four out of five of my aunts are also MDs and a fifth has a PHD in Microbiology, I have become most accustomed over the years to medical discussions whenever our family has been together. Since our permanent relocation to America four years ago, when I was sixteen, I have been studying the university system to learn how to best make my dream of becoming a physician a reality. XXXX University's BS Degree Program in Medical Studies is my first choice to prepare myself for medical school since I so admire the breadth and vast creativity of your course offerings, eclectic, interdisciplinary; XXXX is the perfect place to study developments on the forefront of medical research. I put a lot of special effort into my science classes in High School because I knew that biology would be the focal center of my university studies; and I finished high school at 16, right before moving to America. Due to financial considerations, however, I was unable to go directly to a university and I began studying at a community college, biology, chemistry, etc. My favorite course so far has been molecular genetics. I am enthralled by scientific learning. Medicine is my moral heritage, my most prized possession, what I have been bequeathed by my family. I have learned from day one that the epiphany of human satisfaction is only found in service to others. Doctors in Uzbekistan are not well paid as they are in America. While few medical professionals in my home country are especially happy about their miserable salaries, this does help to foster and perpetuate a high caliber of physician, someone who finds caring for others to be their natural destiny and spiritual calling rather than simply one of the most lucrative options available. Long before my mother had any idea that she would end up immigrating to America, she was the only member of the family who ever had much to say about the low pay of our doctors. She once suggested that I might want to consider another career choice that would be better paid. She would tell me that medicine was the best, but we just live in the wrong country. My devotion to a life of service to humankind runs in my family. On moral, emotional, and social levels, I enjoy helping people; and it is conversation about health issues to which I am best attuned. I am more capable in the physical sciences, especially biology, than I am in other areas. I am programmed to excel in this area because it represents the compelling center of all my interests as they come together. I believe that I can be successful even in a most competitive environment such as XXXX, which draws many of the best young minds on a global level, because of my intense passion for science. Aspiring medical student in NYC embraces her passion for genetics, showcasing her dedication to her studies and future in the medical field. A profound love and a determination to do everything that I can to care for the health and wellbeing of my community is the social and professional role for which I have long been groomed.  I am the kind of young man who always strives to bring joy to the people that surround me; and I have always imagined that my destiny would be to do this as a doctor. These days, I have the normal concerns of someone who is 20 years old, and I have traveled much of the world and speak four languages with facility. But it is biology that gets my attention. It is my favorite mystery, the world where I have felt most intellectually at home for some time. My parents divorced when I was still quite young. Things were difficult for my mother, a single mom in a very patriarchal, Muslim society. Nevertheless, she managed to invest a great deal of time and energy in the education of her two children; this is why I was able to graduate at only sixteen. I was also a competitive swimmer who met with some success in high school. I have become a walking celebration of diversity over the course of the last four years. First, I had the marvelous stroke of luck that my sister decided to study in Slovenia, and she invited me to join her. I was able to spend almost two years learning Slovene; it is now my fourth language after Uzbek, Russian and English. And I met fascinating people from all over the world while exploring much of Eastern Europe. Along the way, I visited numerous hospitals. I only regret that I was unable to volunteer at any one place because I kept moving, wanting to see it all. During this period, my dream of becoming a doctor in the USA began to gain a great deal of traction. America has the best, most innovative medical technology. And I want very much to be trained in a state-of-the-art institution. Aspiring medical student in a lab coat holds a DNA model, surrounded by colorful test tubes, crafting her personal statement for NYC medical studies. Just before leaving Uzbekistan, I was afflicted with my own health issue, a rare skin abnormality that doctors did not seem to know how to identify, much less cure. I do not know to this day precisely what it was; thankfully, it has gone away. The important thing has been the incredible learning experience that I have enjoyed, visiting dermatologists in several countries over the course of several years, all of whom did the best they could with what they had to help me. I found them all to be a profound inspiration, each in their own way. I have come to appreciate better from this experience how a doctor’s job is never easy. It is challenging to always remain positive and never give up.   While I was living in Europe, my mom moved to the U.S. One year later I joined her. As new immigrants, the first thing that we had to do was to get jobs. Naturally, I looked for something that was healthcare related. I was anxious to learn about the American health care system. Soon, I found myself working as a pharmacy technician and in this position, I have learned a great deal about the challenges facing patient care in the US. Soon, we were stable enough economically so that I could enroll at XXXX County College. Throughout the course of my studies, I have become increasingly enamored with molecular biology and biochemistry. I also really enjoyed my chemistry classes and have developed a passion for learning how chemical pathways work on humans.  I think my professional interests may well come to rest in the study and practice of gene therapy—the primary area that I have identified as holding special promise for our medical tomorrow. I have been amazed at how this new field of genetics has grown over the last few years and I am excited about how much that is still awaiting discovery. This is why I want to concentrate my studies at XXXX in biochemistry. It is in this area, along with genetics, that I hope to make my mark in the long term. Living in New York City has been another of my long-standing dreams and is another reason I have chosen to apply to XXXX University. Most of all, however, it is the fact that a lot of genetic researchers are XXXX graduates, such as Thomas Hunt Morgan and Walter Sutton. They have contributed much to genetics and have changed the face of modern medicine. I see XXXX as a springboard to scientific greatness and I would be enormously proud to count myself among its alumni. At only twenty, I have unique life experiences which will help me to make unique contributions to the diversity of your student body. I feel that my trajectory has been non-traditional, and I appreciate the way in which the School of General Studies is designed specifically for non-traditional students with broad-based academic backgrounds. My character is typified by my professional dreams, and curing AIDS has been my daydream since early adolescence. Part of that dream has entailed an elevating consciousness concerning the need to make these treatments available to all who need them. I follow progress being made to fight AIDS in Africa in detail, and this struggle inspires me to look forward to volunteer work very much in the future on an international level. I also plan to stay connected for many years with the academic world. I hope to teach at some point in my career. It would be a special honor for me at some point to be able to teach basic biology and chemistry courses at the university level. Most of all, I am certain that I will remain engaged as long as I live with research that has lifesaving potential. I very much hope to be one of the few students from XXXX County College that transfer to XXXX each year. Our college has a connection with XXXX, and we can transfer about fifty credits on average. For me, XXXX is a big step. It is a symbol of the ideal that nothing is unreachable. I love everything about New York City, most of all, its sheer enormity. XXXX’s campus is my favorite spot to visit. There, I feel a sense of balance and purpose in life. I would love to make XXXX the center of my world, taking full advantage of surrounding resources for learning about developments in medicine. I am also most impressed with the research trajectories of XXXX faculty, and keenly look forward to attending lectures of renowned researchers from all over the world. XXXX is a special symbol of opportunity for me. I am enamored by the fact that you were the first University in the United States to offer the M.D. program. I appreciate how research is the lifeblood of your institution and how you attract countless brilliant students who represent some of the best minds on earth and have won all sorts of awards. As a recent immigrant, I am hungry for achievement. I want to achieve as much as possible because I was given the opportunity to do so. Currently I live in XXXX, New Jersey but I want to move to NYC and find a place to live. I feel strongly that the time that I would have to spend commuting could be put to much better use on campus. I want to thank you for your attention to my application. NYC Bachelor's Degree Personal Statement for Medical Studies

Having been born raised in the Brazil of the late 1980s and 90s, I have seen and lived through the enormous disparities in my homeland between the haves and have nots, both in terms of socioeconomics and education. Only the first eight years of school at the time were mandatory and change was only coming slowly; schools were not always accessible, and many were not free. Moreover, many parents did not see the value of sending their children to school, preferring their children to work to deal with immediate household needs, with some children forced into labor as young as three years of age. Emphasizing the significance of social work education, this illustration presents a figure in a graduation cap and medical attire, surrounded by symbols of knowledge and ethics, capturing the dedication to professional growth and service in the field. I developed a sense of social justice from an early age, an awareness of what was going on around me, and how exceptionally wrong it was. At the age of seven, I began my social work. I decided that it was unfair that a group of poverty-stricken children did not have Christian education in a walking distance. So, I went to them every week, bringing Bible stories and teachings, hygiene awareness and promoting food drives. Thus began my constant fight for social injustice, empowering communities and standing up for their rights. Since that time, I have not stopped expressing my compassion for my fellow human beings, and their material, psychological, and educational needs. "An imaginative portrayal of social work, where collaboration between healthcare professionals and a mindfulness practitioner fosters holistic mental well-being, symbolized by vibrant nature and cosmic elements." Emigrating to America when I was in high school, we made a promise to our parents that we would complete our education in the US at all costs. Chasing the American Dream with a pocketful of hopes was not easy. What I went through, what I now know is called acculturation was only compounded by inner-city issues including poverty, racism, discrimination, and language issues.  In Brazil, we had many similar issues, with Black or Indigenous people, with socioeconomics clearly dividing racial groups. I have walked many miles in the shoes of the immigrant and believe this has aided me in my professional, academic, and volunteer work, increasing my compassion and greater appreciation for the amazing diversity of America. I bring with me to the program at XXXX University a solid academic foundation in Psychology, an excellent place to begin building my Social Services education. Pursuing my undergraduate degree at night while working ten hours a day as a housecleaner taught me humility, time management skills, and is solid proof of my desire to develop myself, the importance I place on education and making my dreams come true. A focused editor working on a sample personal statement in a professional office environment, surrounded by documents and office supplies. For seven years, I dedicated my volunteer energies as a co-organizer of a shelter for migrants, increasing my leadership, communication, interpersonal, organizational, and planning skills. To help our immigrant families - children, youth, and couples - we organized educational seminars, focusing on immigration issues, health and healthcare, education, and parent orientation. Additionally, I oversaw budgeting, food drives and supervising fundraisers for African organizations. Even outside of the Church, I helped newly emigrated families in any way I could, finding housing, jobs, schools for children and translating. More importantly, our congregation began with only XXX attendants. XXX years later, we had ten times that number. I had proven to myself my ability, and the absolute need for more social programming to address the ongoing needs of incoming immigrants. Currently, I am a Family Worker for North Shore Head Start, bringing my unique experiences to bear aiding American, Portuguese-speaking, and Hispanic families, aiding them in applying for health insurance, transitional housing, food stamps, and obtaining food, clothes, cash assistance as well as English classes. Additionally, we help families maintain healthy functioning at home, by providing parental education and workshops on improving children's behavior at home. Graduate Social Work education is a more than a logical and natural step for my career; it is an extension of my professional and volunteer exposure and experiences. Proof of my academic ability and the seriousness with which I will approach my studies is apparent from my undergraduate success in a display of intense will, not to mention that I am now at XXX, considered to be a mature student. I feel that my experiences working as a Family Worker and in the Brazilian Church have given me the necessary exposure to handle the emotional and psychological strains of working with clients and communities that are oftentimes facing the most difficult challenges of their lives. I consider field education and coursework to not be challenges, as much as opportunities to increase my theoretical understanding and exposure. XXXX University represents the ideal for my higher education. Ever since I came to America, I have dreamt of attending XXXX. Ever since I read XXXX's mission statement, I have felt that we have had the same value system, particularly multiculturalism, community empowerment, social justice and a commitment to the issues facing inner city, or urban populations. All my volunteer and professional endeavors have been dedicated to these very same ideals, and exactly where I envision directing my energies post-graduation. I have helped to identify needs in the immigrant community, design educational seminars and implement them, with a close eye on budget issues. I am knowledgeable about insurance issues as well as basic social services that are available to families in need. The MSW program will increase my awareness and resourcefulness in identifying services and develop my ability to help families maintain healthy functioning in the home, to help educate and empower them through sustainable living skills, strengthening my community organization and education skills, and community planning and program development abilities. Graduate education will prepare me for the next chapter of my career, giving me the tools, confidence, and training that I need to be not only an effective social services provider, but also a person who can bring about much needed change in the urban immigrant population, one that is growing every day. Social Work as a profession has been a straight path for me, from the time I could walk, and by the time I could see the difference between right and wrong in society, I was even more resolved to be the person who would help bring about change. This has been the force that has driven my entire career, be it for payment or for doing the right thing at the right time for those in need, in my community and in Africa. Moreover, there is an ongoing need in the urban community of Boston, the Portuguese and Spanish speaking communities, a need for someone to stand up for their social and economic rights. To this end, to their tomorrow and the people that will come after them, I aim to run organizations that are open for multicultural, experimental, and democratic leadership. More specifically, I foresee becoming a director of a Social Work Program. Every immigrant, from whichever corner of the world they come from, comes with a dream for a better life, an education, and a chance at happiness. My goal, as it has always been, is to make sure that as many people as possible get that chance, to be able to hold their heads up, with pride and a belief that they really can make it. As someone who has been there and has made it this far, more than a guide, I will also be a role model, friend, and advocate. Thank you for your time and consideration. MSW Example Statement of Christian Purpose

My father was an immigrant to Ecuador from China. As a child, I witnessed his struggles to adapt to a new culture and language and navigate his way through various difficult bureaucratic obstacles. My concern about his plight made me determined to 'make a difference in the lives of people who face challenges and difficulties. This led me to my current profession, which is behavioral therapy. I enjoy the work and believe that I am fulfilling a vital service. However, I have decided that I want to acquire the skills and knowledge that will enable me to help others in a more general and wide-ranging way; I am specifically interested in working with Hispanic clients suffering from mental health issues. A focused counselor engages in a thoughtful session, noting insights in a warm, inviting office adorned with plants and soft lighting. I had some exposure to social work during my undergraduate studies. I participated in a summer internship program assisting in developing surveys relating to street vending and working with groups that aimed to legalize their activities in Los Angeles. I was also involved with a research project collecting data about factors affecting the health of the Latin American community. These experiences involved contact with people whose daily lives included struggles and obstacles. I was impressed with their grit and good humor in the face of so many trials and with the caring attitude of social workers determined to assist them and whom I now wish to emulate. I have carefully considered the qualities required of an excellent social worker and genuinely believe that I possess them and have the potential to develop them further. I genuinely want to help people find effective ways of helping themselves. As an Applied Behavior Analysis Therapist, I am called upon to demonstrate many traits and characteristics transferable to the role of a Social Worker. I am a good listener; I have determination, I am patient, I relate well to others, I have a creative and flexible approach to problem-solving, and, not least, I have a sense of humor. I am also aware of the importance of being sensitive to non-verbal signals, especially when supporting children and distressed adults. A comforting environment for discussing mental health with a multicultural focus, emphasizing support in personal statement preparation for MSW programs with Chinese and Spanish language assistance. Social work calls for a cheerful, optimistic, and realistic attitude to outcomes and a willingness to persevere when a client is challenged.  Social work requires an exceedingly high degree of cultural awareness and sensitivity. As an ethnic Chinese raised in Ecuador, I believe I can bring insights in this area, primarily to the people I specifically desire to help. I want to work within the mental health system to find solutions to mental and emotional health issues through assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. I hope to become a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and specialize in Latino and other multicultural communities' mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Additionally, I would like to provide clinical services in medical and mental health settings in private practice, health care, outpatient, and inpatient treatment settings, as well as working in socially oriented settings with diverse populations while utilizing cultural competence when interpreting social, personal, environmental, and health information specific to these communities. My work as an ABA Therapist involves one-to-one therapy in the homes of child clients who are on various points of the autism spectrum and primarily in the Latino community. It is vital that I 'customize' interventions based on each child's skills, needs, interests, preferences, and family situation. This involves high-level observational skills and careful reading, recording, and evaluation of relevant information relating to behavior in the child's environmental context. Forming and maintaining constructive relationships with parents/carers is vital to achieving the goals of shaping behaviors that will result in improved and sustained, functional improvement. Two individuals engage in a thoughtful conversation in a cozy, warmly lit room, highlighting themes of mental health and cross-cultural understanding. My professional experience provides an excellent foundation for the study and successful practice of social work. I was appointed shift leader when working in a restaurant. While being trained, I noticed that one manager would instruct some employees to 'clock out' for their 30-minute break but to continue working and delay the actual break until he gave them leave to take it, usually when the restaurant was closed. I queried this situation with the manager and was informed that she was unwilling to permit scheduled breaks when the restaurant was busy but that those affected were happy to take them later. I asked some staff members their opinion and discovered that they were far from happy but unwilling to risk the manager's wrath. The arrangement violated the company's rules and, further, violated the Labor Code. Taking this matter to senior management was not going to endear me to the manager, and it seemed probable that my new promotion would be jeopardized, and relationships put at risk. I took a couple of days to consider the situation. I then decided that my upgrade was unimportant compared to the violation of rights and took the matter to the general manager, who resolved it. Two of my most rewarding experiences working with underserved communities occurred during my years as an undergraduate student. During one of my classes, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in community-based research with the Latino population of Los Angeles; this research analyzed how ethnic stereotypes affected Latino students in their academic trajectory. Through this opportunity, not only was I able to connect and understand the deep-seated issues affecting Latinos in more meaningful ways, but it also made me realize how institutionalized racism directly resulted in disparities in education, income, employment, and health care, all of which detrimentally affected the well-being of these individuals. Similarly, through an internship with the UCLA Labor Center, I was able to study the issues of street vendors in L.A. and the socio-economic contexts that impacted the everyday lives of informal immigrant workers and their families and made me realize the need to implement policies that could provide a licensing process for vendors to sell foods without the fear of criminalization. According to the Office of Minority Health, the incidence of psychological distress among the Hispanic community is significantly higher than that of the white population. This is regarded as primarily resulting from the pressures of living in relative poverty. However, the white population is much more likely to seek and receive treatment for mental health problems than Hispanics. For all medical conditions, reluctance to seek professional medical advice is much more evident in Hispanic communities. So, it does not appear to be the case that any perceived stigma in reporting mental health problems is at the root of the situation, as it may be in other minority populations, though it may have some effect. The widespread problem of the need to encourage members of the Hispanic community to seek professional intervention, when necessary, requires a concerted effort by many agencies over an extended period. However, the Social Worker who is aware of the situation can encourage clients and others with whom they come into professional contact and who display symptoms of mental ill-health to seek professional intervention and to assist in overall efforts to this end by agencies doing so. Most of a Social Worker's time is spent interacting with clients, their families, and their communities, and one of the reasons why I chose to apply to this MSW program is the emphasis on using theoretical knowledge through social work practice and community-based research. I understand that I am expected to complete 60-semester units and a total of 1,000 hours of field education (seminar and internship). Fortunately, my job as an ABA Therapist allows significant flexibility in my schedule, enabling me to prioritize academic work and internship hours. I plan to work closely with the agency to determine the dates and times that will maximize my career learning experience while remaining an essential asset to them. Creating a well-organized schedule can be the difference between a manageable graduate school experience and an overwhelming one, navigating the MSW Department website, attending information meetings, and going over previous MSW Academic calendars. I think that doing some research in advance and utilizing all the available resources the program offers is essential because it will allow me to set my priorities, understand other available options, and balance my workload and responsibilities successfully. I understand that most of the work is done outside of the classroom. Therefore, developing a strong relationship with my academic advisors, faculty mentors, agency supervisors and other graduate students is crucial since they can provide the professional and personal support needed to achieve my goals and aspirations in this program. Tailoring the coursework to my career interests is another way to ensure my success in the program. For instance, taking electives that will complement my personal interests and career goals can provide me with the kind of breadth and depth needed to find my unique path to success. Lastly, while it is important to establish a clear schedule to succeed academically, effectively organizing my time will allow me to maintain good mental health and keep a positive outlook on my graduate school experience.

Graduates in human rights law gather around a winged Statue of Liberty, symbolizing the pursuit of justice and advocacy for immigrants, as highlighted by the LLM degree book on empowerment. My studies of law and recent experience in community work have fired a desire to expand my knowledge at a master level. I hold a B.A. degree in law from a University in the Dominican Republic and a B.A. in International Criminal Justice ‘summa cum laude’ awarded by John Jay College. I now hope to earn the LLM degree so that I can provide expert legal assistance in human rights and immigrant advocacy in collaboration with non-profit organizations. I held positions in the Dominican Republic in which I was able to apply my legal knowledge and, since arriving in the US, I have volunteered in positions that have served to advance my knowledge of US law, particularly as it concerns the political engagement of immigrant communities and immigrant advocacy.

I know that the program will attract many professionally qualified applicants, but I genuinely consider myself to be an excellent candidate. I hold two degrees in relevant subjects with a high GPA and academic awards; I have demonstrated a commitment to further studies and a future in law by my recent voluntary work and informal studies.
