Six years I have been going to college. Four and a half of those years my focus has been on social work. One month from now I will be a college graduate, and proudly wearing the title `Social Worker'.
There is one last hurdle I have to cross before I get there. Tomorrow the paper of all papers is due. There are 11 standard core values and practices that social workers are expected to uphold. In this paper, I have a minimum of 25 pages, in which I have to define the 11 competencies in my own understanding, and give examples of how I have demonstrated that I am competent in them throughout my 4 years as a student.
I am basically having to prove to a panel of social workers, that I am qualified and deserving my college degree. Talk about nerve wrecking!
Once my paper has been reviewed, I will be called in for an oral exam, where I will again have to tell a panel why I deserve to get my degree.
So this is really it.
Four years of work, all lead up to these final days.
Wish me luck!!
Life is full of adventures waiting to be found. Get out and find it! If you can't do it yourself, then adventure vicariously through me.
