I am a Social Care student who is passionate about improving their community. I enjoy the rewards but also the challenges I face in my area of study/work. I hope to gain a valuable insight to the American response to the challenges faced by minorities. I am excited to see how America approaches social care issues and what I can take with me to future practice post graduation. I am also excited for my first visit to America and be exposed to new cultures, approaches and challenges both in academic and social context. Overall I am excited and open to new experiences and adapting to a new system/approach to social care.
