Being a social work major has changes so much about me for the better. It is a career that requires seeing the good in someone, no matter who they are. It requires you to show up and help, no matter how you feel. It is a field of study that educates you in selflessness and love. I feel like being a social worker has helped me learn how to be a better person, and in turn has prepared me to be proficient in any future jobs that come my way."

Congratulations, Becka!
