32. SOME ADVICE
Approach: Your attitude and perspective is the key to your success in
class, field, and life. Be open to new experiences.
Active: This is your experience, create it for yourself. Question everything.
Search out additional learning opportunities. Create professional relationships.
Utilize office hours with your professors. Participate in activities.
Awareness: Take this time to challenge your beliefs about yourself,
others, the role of social worker, and the world.
Appreciation: Even though you are paying tuition, attending classes,
providing free services to others, and working extremely hard, be thankful for
this experience; it is one of a kind and a earned privilege to witness the
triumphs and tragedies of others.
