My understanding of the social work profession and its core values

I faced many hardships during my graduate program. The hardships included sudden death of my brother because of a car accident. I also suffered a disease called Pulmonary Fibrosis. I suffered depression and became very sick during those days. Other problems included my financial constraints. These hardships made me tough and strong to take social work as a profession.

Facing everything alone is the hardest part of the strict time. A support and a company are essential for one to lean on and move ahead.
