I still remember, initially when I started working as the social work profession and initiated my journey, I didn’t realize the impact that it can create in the society and how it has the prowess to touch different life. Truly, I did realise the relevance of this role and position until I actually started working on the ground. When I started the journey of my professional career, my vision was perhaps little vague and ground reality of a social worker were completely different. Indeed, it required some time and efforts from my mentors to help me get the clarity of thoughts and re-align with precise mission. For instance, I used to believe that social worker can be equated to a problem solver. Well, that could be partially true since it is one of the primary responsibilities being in that role but it is much broader in scope and deeper while scaling. Essentially, the key objectives of the professional social worker is to be perhaps being emotionally intelligent, unbiased, empathetic and uncritical. The duty of the social worker is not only to advocate for the population that are perhaps vulnerable and exposed.
