“My Dream Career:” A poem by MSW student Michael Barnes
My Dream Career
A poem about social work
When I grow up, I’ll make a change
Developing a career seemed easy to arrange
At the age of five I told my mom that I wanted to be a lawyer
Unknowingly, I had reflected what my parents thought would be a dream employer
It wasn’t until college that I found out
What real world problems and issues are all about
That’s when I met my first social worker and with great amaze
I discovered that social work was for me, not in the future, but that day!
