| Popis: | 107 In my experience of working as a soocial worker for elders, I have come across those with history of domestic violence and gambling addiction. These elders often became desolate in the twilight of their lives. Some would hope for redemption for past wrongs while others might sue their family memebers for abandonment. In those visits, they would take out faded photos and talked about past glories, memories or those they have lost. In reflection of their present condition, I often wonder if someone did lend a guiding hand in their hour of despondency, their lives might have a taken a turn for the better. If we could go back in time and see these elders’ lives we might be able to discern their tribulations and struggles. Perhaps we could view them as the oppressed in an unrelenting environment? As I transitted from working with elders to children, I realized that it is no easy task to change someone as they grow up. Often times I would be fighting a vicious circle that never breaks. This vicious circle is comprised of two segments: The students’ family and the bureacratic system. Time and again I would try my best to help students rid a bad habit but only be cast back where I started by the students’ families. Other times these students might be caught in the bureacratic wheel and be forced from one service to another and would not receive the help they truly needed. When faced with troublesome youth, schools would habitually see them as responsibilities of the counselors or social workers and would not wholly commit to form a coherent chain in aiding these youths. From the situations that I have been through, they have brought much dissapointment and lack of understanding toward the school education system. However, after my own experience of being a mother, I have come to truly understand my own frailty and the true hardship of raising a child. I began to reaffirm myself with the philosophy of “teaching without distinction”and “teaching in accordance with their aptitude”. Through my contact with different students, I saw the importance of not only influencing the students but also their homeroom teachers and adminstrative heads. By using the experience that I have amassed from doing house calls or home visits, I could influence teachers to see the benefits of building a close relationship with the students’ family could do great wonders in helping them improve. So these children could see the support and love from the school system so as to help them become a better person than their old selves. |
