High School Social Worker
I'm a high school social worker that provides an outlet for students while also helping them day to day.
A typical day in the life is never predicted. No day is identical but my job is very fast paced. Having an agenda is normal, but also adjusting to situations that will take you away from a typical normal day is expected. Things are constantly changing my schedule, so being able to know how to manage the changes is a regular thing for my job.
Here's the first step for high school students
First it's best to find what actually sparks your interest rather than what will make you the most money. This will help avoid a curvy road and produce a straighter path to the career you enjoy. From there, you should do research on colleges that provide the specific study that you want to major in. There are many options that fall into similar categories, so it's best to make sure you choose specifically. It's then best to take internships and hopefully start applying for jobs.
"Growing up, there wasn't much negative influence in my community. There was more of a lack of resources that put a limitation on my journey. It's hard to access programs in this area."
