I want to work in Washington, D.C. I see myself working for a non-profit or doing social policy advocacy. I want to promote better educational, employment, and health opportunities for Hispanics, children with disabilities, and veterans (maybe I’ll be elected to office since many U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives are social workers). I also want to have the opportunity to travel abroad because I feel like there are skills that you gain and learn only through an international experience and I certainly will have an advantage over others because of traveling abroad.
