BEING A SOCIAL WORKER MEANSYou will never be bored.

You will always be frustrated.You will always be surrounded by challenges. So

much to do and so little time.You will carry immense responsibility and very

little authority.You will step into people's lives and you will make a

difference.Some will bless you.Some will curse you.

You will see people at their worst and their best.

You will never cease to be amazed at people's capacity for love, courage, and

endurance.You will see life begin and end.

You will experience resounding triumphs and devastating failures.

You will cry a lot.You will laugh a lot.

You will know what it is to be human and to be humane

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,

committed citizens can change the world. Indeed,

it is the only thing that ever has.
