     For these posts I have chosen to write about Social Work, and how it is used throughout the world in the special area of children. The Social work that I’m going to be focusing on with these children has to do with the cases of  Domestic Violence, Drugs and Alcohol, or through extreme custody issues. This subject has a lot of meaning to me, not only have i had my own experiences, but it is also the field i am most interested in while studying in college. I want to help the kids that are stuck in the position that i was. I want to give them someone to talk to, who is actually going to listen to them, and to help get them in a better, safer, and more respectable environment. Four years, my life dragged on with no one listening to me and my brother to help us get out of the situation we where in. Until, a strong willed and powerful minded man came our way. Eric,  our social worker had been working in his profession for 21 years, listened to us and fought until we where satisfied. I’d never come across someone so caring and so devoted to helping the children. Ever since he happened to magically appear in my life, i knew that my goal was to help give back as well. He too had gone through the troubled childhood, and as he grew up, he just knew, he too was devoted to helping the children who had/are going through the same thing. I believe that the uniqueness of these posts, is going to give us high schoolers a voice. A voice to be heard and to show just how intelligent we really are. Some topics seem a bit intense for “juniors” in high school to be writing about, but i believe that we seem to outsmart a lot of people when we begin talking about something we are passionate for and are very familiar with. These blogs are going to give us a chance to prove just how clever we really are.
