My Interest in Studying at Carleton’s School of Social Work
My life, work, and professional experiences are the drive towards becoming a social work professional. Whereas I was brought up in a home with loving, caring and generous parents, life experience taught me that not everyone has such advantages. Professionally, my career as a sociology teacher influences my interest in studying social works. Being a sociologist, studying social work may help me change lives by making a difference to systems, people, and communities. Besides, my work experience as a sociologist inspires to study social works and becomes a social change agent. With work, life and professional experiences, I have developed social work values and ethics based on principles of justice, social change, and fairness. Therefore, studying social works makes me a competent social worker who can help the disadvantaged overcome various challenge.
Even though many institutions train social workers, various factors influence my desire to pursue the course at Carleton’s School of social work. I have chosen the institution because it is designed to help social workers cope with various social, political and economic challenges realized in various parts of the world (Carleton University School of Social Work 1). Particularly, studying the institution is good because its training emphasizes the production of social workers with a structural approach based on social justice and social change.

My urge to study at Carleton’s School of social work is also driven by the institution’s ability to work with diverse population. In other words, Carleton University does not discriminate learners based on race, tribe, gender or other social factors. Being a person of color-Bengali, I would be glad to join such neutral institution because it gives peace of mind. Trained in such neutral environment, I would also be encouraged to promote social justice in my future endeavors (Carleton University School of Social Work 1).
Carleton’s School of social work is a member of the Canadian Association of Social Work Education (CASWE) with programs fully accredited by Board of Accreditation-CASWE (Carleton University School of Social Work 1). Therefore, studying at the school is good because the accredited programs equip individuals with the skills necessary for working sensitively with groups, communities, and individuals. Besides, it produces individuals who can critically analyze social policies.
I love working and helping individuals who are struggling to live, especially children. To such extent, the competency gained from Carleton’s School of social work will encourage me to help such vulnerable persons. Trained in such good institution, I will become the voice of the voiceless. In fact, I will help voiceless, particularly children overcome oppression, discrimination and any forms of injustice (Carleton University School of Social Work 1).
Cultivating awareness of social justice issues by empowering and equipping the vulnerable and underrepresented population is my ultimate dream. However, such dream can only be achieved through proper training. Therefore, I will commit myself to the programs offered at Carleton’s School of social work to ensure competency in dealing with social challenges that threaten the stability of many societies. In fact, I will take time to consult the lectures on necessary areas that ensure competency in the service for humanity (Carleton University School of Social Work 1).
In sum, social work is the best course for individuals who intend to ensure justice and equality in the society. Training makes one competent social worker. Even though various institutions train social workers, Carleton School of social works gives quality education that influences people’s lives positively. However, competency and ability to become a successful social worker require selflessness and commitment.
