The application for social work includes 7 essay questions that must all be completed, each response must be 350 words or less. The question I truly need help with, is question #2.
” Review the Social Work Code of Ethics (Code_of_Ethics_-_printable_poster.pdf (caswacts.ca). Reflect and describe how the values and principles in the Code of Ethics align with your own values.”
This is the most important thing I have ever done, and I think caring so much is causing me to cripple myself in overthinking.
The reason I am struggling so much, is because:
I believe these values are intrisincally interconnected to everything I do, and that I am already practicing the principles in my personal life, to the point that I am having a hard time deciding what is important to include. I am also having a hard time knowing if I should have just picked a few of my values that apply to all of this, or if I should be specifically referencing the code and then connecting it to myself. I did attempt that but realized I struggled with word count.
The things which I value most in this world are:
Respect (both being deserving of it and providing it)
Integrity***
Personal Growth
Connection
Meaningful Work/Having something that gives my life purpose virutally keeps me alive.
I have attached the following:
The entire application for reference as it is important to consider potential overlap of content between the question prompts.
One of my completed responses *these will help you get familiar with who I am a bit more and should help you quite considerably.
