Personal/Professional Goals:
When I was attending American Samoa Community College, I had my mind set on becoming a nurse. I took a lot of science classes and for electives it was either science or any course related to nursing; it was like that my whole first year of college. Honestly, I’ve never even knew that there was a field called Sociology or Social Work. My second year in ASCC started and I decided to take courses besides courses related to nursing. So, I took a sociology class; and it took me by surprise.
Taking the intro to sociology class during my years at ASCCC plus intro to Social Work class I took my first year at UH Hilo was what influenced me to become a social worker. I have learned so much about the field. I am someone who …show more content…

I will not lie if I say that I passed all classes like flying colors, because my transcript speaks otherwise. I will not lie if I say that I didn’t do my very best because I know I did. Every time I know that I didn’t do so good, I would come the next semester with a new goal and new mindset that “I can do and will do so much better than the semester before.” I have planned that if I do get into Walden, I will do so much better than before. I will invest my time and will prioritize work, taking care of my parents and grandparents and with school. I will also use my academic experience at UH Hilo as a guide if I do get a chance at Walden.

Work/Other Experience:

During my undergraduate years I took an internship class towards my last year. I did my internship at the Department of Human and Social Services (Children and Family Services division) in American Samoa for few months. I had a really great experience, it made me love the field of Social work even more. The employers were great and not only that I have learned so much from them. I am willing to use that experience as a guideline if I attend Walden. I am currently working at the LBJ Tropical Medical Hospital in American Samoa as a Social worker. Honestly, it is not an easy job but it is an experience to work in a place different from where I did my internship. I am still learning and I am willing to learn even more and to widen my experience with Walden University.

For my first two years at Grand Valley, I will be studying at the main campus in Allendale, but my last two years will be at the downtown campus where I will be placed in a internship. There is more job opportunity in Grand Rapids due to the size rather than in Kalamazoo. At Western, I will have to enter the School of Social Work program and apply for it. Both campuses also include MSW and BSW. Both Western and Grand Valley are known for their social work programs, but Grand Valley’s Social Work program is right downtown.
