Level 4, Intermediate, Post 1, 'A Country I would like to visit'

  My dream job is unusual to typical because it is in a juvenile prison, this because I feel that this is where I can help and make the most changes, communication with young people deprived of liberty is facilitated. It is unusual since most social workers avoid this type of work, they are very emotionally strong, so it is very easy to end up burned, in addition to the low remuneration that this means. I would love to work more than for money, for the satisfaction of having someone smile for changing someone for a minute. The truth is that I do not see myself traveling, but on the contrary, I like to get to know who and whom I work with, to have stability and a fixed team, in this way the interventions are carried out with more confidence. Another thing that perhaps I have imagined is having my own NGO with more flexibility and possibility of action, in a not so institutionally rigid way. This would allow me to be guided by my values, work with close people, and perh...

This time I will talk about my research topic in social work which is youth in conflict with justice. This topic has been the reason why I study social work is an extremely complex topic because it has many controversies. But I chose it as a product that identifies me as a product of my past, with which I feel that I have many debts and I would like other young people to also have the possibility of leaving the criminal world. One of my first focus was “criminal populism or punitive populism” which includes how the population demands more punishment, harsher and longer sentences. All this product of a political handling This year I have studied the relationship of young people in their career with institutions which has clearly been disruptive. Someday I hope not only to be able to investigate if not to be present and perhaps work in Sename institutions or directly in prison. I feel that from my experiences it could perhaps be a great help. I know I will not change the world, b...

my chosen theme will be, my experience in the military service. My experience in the military service was really good and bad at the same time, good because I had new experiences and I also learned a lot and bad because you suffer a lot physically. I was in the army a very long year in which I met people who were like my family, since we share extreme experiences together. What stands out the most is the character and discipline I learned, It helped me to straighten my life, value more the things I have, and finish what I start. The bad thing that as I was weighing many kilos, I suffered a lot to have a physical condition fit to be a soldier, from weighing 86 I passed to weigh 68, you eat little, you train a lot. One thing that I will not forget is all the cleaning that is carried out, three times a day minimum, in the morning, in the afternoon and in the morning (as punishment). At university it was not well seen that he had been a soldier, but the truth changed my life.
