Social work as a module is not my cup of tea.
First of all, I'm not exactly a person who is able to relate to people's problems easily. Empathy and compassion are not my strong points. I'm not a touchy-feely kind of person. I'm not comfortable working with people, period.
I'm an introvert who value privacy and me time. Asking me to delve deep into others' problems makes me uncomfortable and gives me creeps. I don't like people prying into my business and vice versa.
When a classmate cried for some reason in the past, while others would surge forward to comfort her, I would hang back, because I believe that the real comfort is to cry in peace and not have a group of people crowding into your space. It just makes you feel more rotten. That's my way of thinking anyway. There's no wrong or right, right?
A social worker encompasses everything I'm not. I don't know how to approach a problem and lend a comfort hand. I can 'hmmm' and 'ahhh' at the right time, that's all.
Anyway, I only choose this module because I need to fulfil the requirements and there aren't many choices left to choose from. It's a simple reason and it's not rocket science. I'm not "changing the world" or "making thr world a better place".
