In a few months I’ll be graduating with my Bachelors in Social Work. Although all I’ve been doing is learning I now have to step into the work world. Even though I haven’t given work much thought. I am now going to start internship at Valley program aging service. I just had my interview this past Thursday the interview was smooth and nice and I’m starting this Tuesday. I really don’t know what is required of me during the job hours but I’m really excited and looking forward to start tomorrow. Although I’m still working as an internship and have had no experience in the field I’m willing and very happy to be gaining some experience and knowledge along the way. I’m working in a small nonprofit organization that helps the elderly within the community and at the center. Even though I might not have much of a one-on-one connection with the elderly population nevertheless I will still have a few connections. There will be times where I will be able to witness the work first hand. As part of my interview I was told that I would be able to visit the homes at least once a week. Although that is not much of a Time the rest of the week I will be doing some paperwork and helping around as much as I can. Even though I’m anxious about the whole working situation I am more happy and excited to have the experience. Having a week filled with different activities meeting new people and experiencing new areas of Interest and being able expand my ideas and thoughts and implements what I have learned is my main goal throughout this work.
