Although this semester has proven to be one of my toughest, I did find a great class in the mix! As a social work student, there are several practice classes students are required to take. These classes teach social work students the skills necessary to perform well in the field. This semester, I am taking a family therapy class and I love it! Throughout the semester we perform various role play activities. In the role play, one student acts as the social worker and the other students act as a family. It is a great way to apply the skills we learn during lecture! This class has inspired me to possibly become a family social worker. The professor is amazing, and really applies what we learn to real life situations. Studying social work has really opened up my horizons. It is a life-changing profession, an area in which you can truly make a difference.

Take care and be well!
