What’s about me, social work is • interest to everything, therefore it isn’t only TV-watching, reading of newspapers, and daily observations, but also mind-work, discussion with my friends, who are social workers, sociologists, and others, who are happen along, thinking “What will I do as a social worker in this situation?”. • Transmission of knowledge to everyday life– and advices become much more professional than friendly. • Thirst for knowledge– so there are notebook, pen, marks, notes, clippings from social work, psychology, law, and medicine’s papers. • aspiration for perfection(study of literature, conference’s articles, appeals to specialists). • volunteer activityin the “invisible children.org” project. • prospect – my future job as a social worker in the women’s jail.
