I just graduated high school.I want to move out of my tiny town. My parents have travelled a lot. I want to visit the grand canyon. I have travel plans. I've never been to the Grand Canyon. I'm going on vacation with my parents and sister. I start college in the fall at a small liberal arts college. I am under 21 years of age. I am in college.
I am a social worker. My parents met in high school. I have been to over 20 different countries. I love listening to music and singing songs. I like to run. I visited the Grand Canyon when I was younger. I am a globetrotter.  The Grand Canyon is one of my favorite places. I went to Arizona State University.  I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in social work. I find social work emotionally difficult sometimes but also rewarding. I have traveled to over 20 countries.  I would like to visit more.
Is there anywhere you have traveled that you would go back to? I would like to revisit all of the places that I have traveled to. I have loved them all so much! But, if I could only pick one, I would go back to Sicily. I think that it is the most beautiful and culturally rich location that I have ever visited. I've always wanted to go to Italy. What was your favorite thing to do there? I really enjoyed spending time at the beach and swimming in the ocean, as well as eating the local cuisine. The highlight of my trip was visiting Mt. Etna, which is Europe's highest active volcano. Would you like to come with me the next time I visit? I would love that! I'm sure it's a nice and relaxing break from being a social worker. Since I'm starting college in the fall and I don't know what to major in yet, do you mind me asking you why you chose social work? Sure, lets switch topics. I chose to go into social work because I want to help get children out of poor quality homes. My parents were so good to me, I feel extreme empathy for those children in poor living conditions. Have you ever considered social work? I've thought about it but it seems very stressful and burnout looks to be pretty high couple with the low pay for the work. I don't know. I give lots of props to people that can do it. You guys deserve more credit than you are given. When did you realize that social work was for you? Yes, it is a thankless job. It can be very stressful, but we are highly trained to deal with stressful situations. After receiving my education and in field training, I felt more comfortable. I also teach and have authored a book to supplement my income. I knew that social work was right for me after taking an introductory course on it my first year of college.  I just want to say thank you for what you do. What's the title of the book? My book is titled "101 Careers in Social Work." It could be helpful for you when looking into your different degree program options. I won't write off social work just yet so I'll definitely check it out! What other degree programs are you looking into?
