Hello. Hello everyone. My name is MRS.Rosa. I wanted to start off by saying, what do I think about myself
and want others to know? I am a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister. I am the type of person
that if you need anything, I’m here to help anytime, any day, even if it’s in
the middle of the night. There’s friends have called me because various reasons and
I’ve always been there. I have four jobs. I am a case manager and
where I live at now, I also do sore applications, which is a disability for
clients in another location. I am a assessment intake. I do the bio psycho socials
and treatment plans. Then I drive 3.5 hours to Miami for a I’m a supervisor in the
Children’s Crisis Unit. I’ve been working
there for many years. I’ve been in this field of mental health for
ten plus years. I just have a passion
for helping people. I’ve worked and
helped from kids, families to adults, homeless populations,
substance abuse. Um, that’s, that’s my passion. That’s why I want
to do social work. What do I bring to the
social work profession? I what I bring my experience, my passion for helping people. What does this connect
to your desire to become culturally
competitive social worker? Why do you include the
social work matters to you? I think I covered that. I’m also Cuban American. My family is from Cuba. Um, my dad is American, but my maternal family is Cuban. I was born here and all my kids were also born
in the United States. I do say that I was
raised Catholic, and throughout my adulthood, in my marriage, I
became a Christian. My kids are also Christian. I would say that in our culture we’re
very family oriented. I believe, just like every other culture, we’re also hard. I had the impression
and the idea, and I also like
seen it for myself that Cubans just like to invent. We invent things such as if we can’t build something
out of metal and screws, we’re just going to
invent with a string. I have noticed that. Yeah, I think that’s about it. What I, what I would like to in, about this class would be, I guess, characteristics of
more culture identities. I do have a lot to learn
of different cultures. I have learned some
different cultures, but I would like to
learn a lot more. Maybe it would also
improve in my social work in the future to learn the
different types of cultures. I just want to say welcome guys. Keep up the hard work. We’re almost there. Goodbye.
