What´s like to study social work?

I´m in second year of social work and I chose this career because in 2019 I went to a religious camp, where with some friends visited the commune of Cerro Navia. We stayed in a school for two weeks and we went on mission to many houses in the commune. The experience of had met people that in my life I had known, was very emotional because the neighbors were very kind and humble with us. Those days marked my life and this experience helped me to choose which career I would study. Social work gives me all that I wanted, the opportunity of have connection with people and to change the vulnerability of systems.

 

Personally, has been hard to study online because is not what I expected about university. Study online is study all day, watch classes that I didn´t understood because of my bad internet, read a lot, do long essays, and in my "free time" clean the house. Basically I don´t have time to do what I like. Also, It´s sad that at the moment, I haven´t met my classmates, but I usually talk with a group of friends by zoom. I´m in my third semester and that means that I'm studying the theory of the career, so in my case study online has not been impossible. Even if I would love to study at the university, I´ve been learning anyway. I hope someday to meet the faculty and my classmates, because that would make me feel that I´m actually studying in the university.
