Describe the ways in which your life experiences (volunteer, employment, educational, and personal experiences) have led you to choose a major in social work. Tell us about your experiences with different forms of diversity (such as gender, social class, race, ethnicity, disability, religion, LGBTQ status, age) and what you have learned from those experiences that may support your work with diverse client groups. Select a social problem (such as access to health care, racial disparity in the criminal justice system, special education or school discipline, immigration, marriage equality, income inequality). Describe and analyze the current state of this issue.
