I experienced crises and a lot of pain which had a profound effect on me, after a process of introspection I decided on the best use of the skills that I acquired and which satisfied a need to give back to my community. So I chose to become a social worker. While traveling the world, I discovered that I was able to deal calmly, sensitively and supportively with people in difficult and stressful situations. With that in mind, I think an MSW would be the best fit. because it would allow me to use these skills to help and support people. My goal is to pursue higher education. I would then like to specialize in the health and mental health issues facing veterans, while understanding the policies that impact the military, veterans and service.
