Tips for Writing a Personal Statement for Social Work School by Jill Cohen
in Education / College and University
There are some tips that you will want to follow when it comes to writing your personal statement for a social work program at a certain college or university. You will want to make it count, so it's important to put plenty of thought into what you are going to write. You will first want to start with why you are going into this type of work and what has motivated you to pursue such a career. If you have a personal story as to something that might have played a part in your interest in social work, then you will definitely want to include that. Basically any information which related back to why you want to be a social worker should be included in this letter, however it's important to not go overboard.
You definitely want to include all pertinent information, but you don't want to make your letter into a novel. Writing your letter intelligently with proper grammar and sentence structure is important; however you will still want to write from the heart when it comes to explaining why you have an interest in this kind of work. The more convincing you are about why you would be well-suited for social work the better. Make sure to be specific about what interests you as far as social work is concerned. Go into your history of personal volunteer work or any paid positions you've had. Speak about any connections you've had in terms of assistance with family members, neighbors or others in the community.
If you can demonstrate a passion for social work then you will have a much better chance of getting into a program that you are interested in. Schools always look for people who already have experience being an unofficial social worker of sorts, whether that means being a stay-at-home parent or taking care of a parent with a debilitating disease. The more personal you are the better, but only if it is significant to social work. When you are writing a letter like this, it pays to speak from the heart. The more open and truthful you are about how you feel and what you have experienced, the more likely you will be to get accepted. It's also helpful to write about what type of social work you want to do, because there are many different areas that one can go into. Go on to explain what you hope to accomplish as a social worker in your own respective area and what you want to get from it personally.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 8, 2010 -- Introducing: New American Curriculum
A SIMPLE FIVE-POINT PROGRAM
1) REAL READING. No more Whole Word, Sight Words, Dolch Words. No more identifying words by their shapes. No more guessing, picture clues, and functional illiteracy. Pick a good phonics program, mix it up with singing and poetry. Teach all students to read by the age of seven. (Google “42: Reading Resources” for a list of programs. For phonics advice, contact Don Potter at donpotter.net.)
1
NEW AMERICAN CURRICULUM: A Simple Plan To Save The Public Schools
2) REAL ARITHMETIC. No more New Math or Reform Math. No more Standards Math because the standards are wrong-headed. No more spiraling, fuzziness, guessing, or mixing advanced topics in with elementary arithmetic. No more Constructivism. Pick a program like Singapore Math, Saxon Math or other traditional approaches, and make sure children master arithmetic one step at a time.
3) REAL FOUNDATIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN ALL SUBJECTS. No more demonizing memory. No more scorning facts. Students need basic information; and the brain is designed to want it. No more so-called critical thinking about things nobody knows anything about. Instead, students actually learn facts, the easy ones first, and then you build from there. Why? Because facts are fun; and knowledge is power.
4) REAL HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, GOVERNMENT. No more Social Studies. No more propaganda, indoctrination, and political correctness. No more multiculturalism for its own sake. History is taught by people who majored in History. You learn names, dates, places and events. You understand why things happened the way they did. Everybody loves a good story. History is a million good stories.
5) REAL EDUCATION. No more playing games. What do you think is going on at good private schools, and the best colleges? Education is not about what kids feel. It’s about what they know. There’s no fuzzy, no guessing, no bull. Imagine you take a course in French; you actually learn French--speak it, read it, write it. That’s the paradigm. At the end of each day you know more than at the start. Sure, games, jokes, laughter, field trips, movies, sitting in the grass staring at the sky. There are no rules except that kids must be learning, continuously learning.
People now in charge of public schools--the Education Establishment--are focused on social engineering and have thus made a hash of public education. They say to the students, “It’s about you.” No, it’s about them. Their politics. Their plans for our future. These faux-educators should stand aside. To work in the public schools, people should possess knowledge, love knowledge, and want to communicate knowledge to the next generation. Such people are the real educators.

Debt matters and 6 top tips for saving more money and solving your debt matters
Most people are not millionaire or billionaire, so most people have debt matter. But have you asked yourself why you have debt matters and How to solve debt matter? I worked hard over time but i still have problem with my finace. And i was in debt matter until i read the article
“6 top tips for saving more money and solving your debt matters” . I recognized we work hard that is not enough, we also need have plan on our finance.
I read on 1 blog about finance at : www.psyfitec.com and i agreed with these below concern that will make us have debt matters:
Borrow Wisely
If anyone was in any doubt about how much debt matters to individual stockmarket investors and their preferred investments, the events of the last few years should surely have convinced them otherwise. Debt is one of the most critical factors investors need to consider in making their investments, and it’s not just a matter of the corporate borrowings of companies but also of personal loans – from mortgages through to credit card payments.
The problem is that when times get tough for companies, and they have trouble refinancing their borrowings, this generally foreshadows private investors having the same difficulties. Get this wrong and you find yourself with increasing debt, decreasing income, sliding investments, relationship difficulties and under extreme psychological pressure to do exactly the wrong thing. None us should be in any doubt – debt matters.
Personal Debt and Stock Investments
Private investors really shouldn’t have personal debt while investing in the stockmarket. With, at best, an average annual return of 12% it really makes no sense to be paying double digit interest on hire purchase or credit card bills while putting money into stocks. It’s crazy and illogical behaviour – so, of course, there are plenty of people who do it.
The only type of debt it makes sense to run while investing in stocks is a lower interest mortgage. Buying a house isn’t something you can do in a couple of years and if you’re going to invest in stocks for the length of time it takes to have certainty of making money you’ve really got no choice but to take the risk that mortgage interest payments may outstrip your stockmarket returns during some of that time. Over the term of most mortgages it’s a certainty that this wiill be the case at some point.
Dealing with Debt
Investing for the worst case isn’t a sensible approach, because you may spend decades waiting for it, but assuming that good conditions will continue forever isn’t sensible either. Managing debt is a significant part of this process. It’s hard enough holding on to stocks when they go through one of their periodic loop-de-loops on the stockmarket rollercoaster but it’s far harder when you’re faced with trying to repay personal loans and wondering where your next pay check is coming from.
Time is the key for most of these issues. The critical thing is to avoid being a forced seller at the bottom of the market, even if you lose your job. There is nothing as psychologically soul-destroying as watching your stocks’ value being eroded day by day as markets fall – apart from watching them gain day by day after you’ve sold them.
6 top tips for saving more money and solving your debt matters
Don’t let debt matter happen to you; Getting the very most out of the money you have requires big picture thinking. With that in mind, here are six terrific long term strategies you can put into play right now to save yourself thousands of dollars per year. I read these below tip on site : www.debtmattersnews.com and i want to share it for you. I hope you can follow and solve your problem with debt soonest.
1. Reassess your home.
Get a reassessment of what your home is worth now, because it’s likely not worth nearly as much as it was a few years ago. And if you bought during the home buying frenzy of 2005-06, it may have lost 40% to 50% of its value. So get an accurate assessment of its current value on the books. Why? It could save you thousands in home insurance and taxes paid. A friend in West Chester, PA., bought her home at the peak of its sales history – and paid all of the taxes that came with it. I persuaded her to get a reassessment. As a result, she’s saving $5,000 in taxes a year.
2. Update your insurance.
Many people have one company that insures their home and another that insures their cars. Big mistake. You can save 10% or more in premium costs by having both with the same company. Just ask for a new rate quote to check out how much less you’ll pay.
Another point to consider is that it’s a good idea to increase your auto deductible to $1,000. Why? Because car insurance should cover only major damage, not scratches or dings. If you make a habit of claiming small stuff, you’ll see premiums rise dramatically or your insurer will drop you.
3. Diversify your savings.
If you are eligible for a company 401(k) or a similar retirement plan, contribute the maximum that your employer will match. Anything less is leaving money on the table. After that match amount, contribute nothing because tax rates are as low as can be right now. If you have extra money to invest, put it in a Roth IRA instead. Although your contributions are taxable income now, the Roth is great because your investment earnings can grow tax-free. If you’re investing in the long haul, not being subjected to the possibility of higher income taxes is a big plus.
4. Increase your exemptions.
Many folks are thrilled to get a $2,000 or $3,000 refund from the IRS each year. But think why you’re getting it: You’ve overpaid taxes and given Uncle Sam an interest-free loan! At the same time, many Americans are carrying huge credit card debt with interest rates of 8% to 32%. Reducing your tax refund from $3,000 to zero will effectively get you $250 a month to pay down that savings-robbing debt. You can reduce your tax refund by increasing your withholding allowances through your employer.
5. Say “no” to store cards.
With the holiday shopping season ahead, many retailers are now soliciting customers to sign up for a store card to save 10% on their purchases. So shoppers sign up and spend the entire credit limit−say, $500−just to save $50. But these store cards carry higher interest rates (like 21% or more) than standard cards. And guess what? The more store cards you have maxed out, the worse your credit rating will be, which means you’ll be charged more to borrow for a home, car or whatever you need.
6. Borrow wisely for college.
With the credit crisis, banks are less likely to give private student loans, so students are getting their parents to cosign. Keep in mind that interest on a private student loan is averaging 12% now according to Forbes. But a PLUS loan, which parents can take out in their own names, is fixed at only 8.5% interest. Also, if your child will enroll in college in the next five years, make sure your investments are in safe, fixed interest generating options, not in stocks.

Also, if your child will enroll in college in the next five years, make sure your investments are in safe, fixed interest generating options, not in stocks.
FIXED RATE REMORTGAGES
And now, it is the second type of home equity loan, it is known as the Fixed rate remortgages which are quickly becoming the most sought after mortgages once again, it is largely due to the fact which the fixed rate provides increased security for the home owners. In this case their monthly payment will not fluctuate over the course of several years. You need to remember that this type of mortgage is not prone to the shifts in market and due to past economic downturn, their rates are at their lowest. But currently it is a highly advantageous time for home owners to lock in an affordable term and rate.
However, it will not automatically award you the best rate. A home owner will often find that they consider a longer term and the rates will increase dramatically—even increase exponentially when you consider 4 or 5 year terms.
One of advantages of fixed Rate Remortgage is the better option for those of you who like more stability when the payments and the rates remain fixed over the time of period. It does not affect to your existing mortgage in any fashion.
The another advantages is no problems which will happen to the Bank. Because the interest which you pay during the fixed period will not budge. So, the benefit is an unchanging monthly repayment, allowing you to budget around your housing costs.
As you know, this type of home equity loan will give borrower perceived security against rate increases over a certain period and it is becoming the most popular choice of borrowers.
When you apply for this loan, you are consistently charged the same interest rate for a set period of time. And this period can be any number of months or years, although the commonest are 2, 3 and 5-year fixed periods. And the rate which you have to pay during this period is often lower than the lender's Standard Variable Rate when you take out of your mortgage. Approximately 80% of borrowers who take out a fixed rate mortgage opt for a short-term fixed period.
The shorter-term loan is appealing to many borrowers because you can reassess the market after your fixed term is finished. But if you determine that your deal was not the most competitive, and you are free to switch to another deal. But the pendulum can swing in both ways. You may come to the end of your short-term fixed rate mortgage to realize that you were in a very good deal, but now you have to pay for the financial institution the higher rates and fees.
This type of loan is offered for many time periods. But the most popular are 2 and 3 years, but the range goes to 5, 15 or even 25 years. It is call long- term fixed rate mortgage. And more borrowers are starting to look at long-term fixed rate mortgages these days because these deals offer more security over a longer period. And when you take out a fixed rate mortgage over several years, you will consistently be working on the same budget. It protects you from coming out of a short-term fixed rate only to face higher rates. And after the fixed period, interest will revert to the lender's standard variable rate.
You need to remember that during the fixed period, you are often tied in to the deal by Early Repayment Charges. They do not stop you from remortgaging during the fixed period, but they will make it more expensive and you have to pay higher amount for them. And it also means that the lender can ensure it which makes money from all those short term fixed rates, and they can price them competitively from the start.

HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
A home equity line of credit is called as HELOC which is one type of home equity loan, it relies on a home or other property like collateral. And if borrowers defaults on paying back the loan, the bank or other lender can seize the property in place of the money they are owed. And in this loan, the lenders will agree to lend a maximum amount within an agreed period - term and the collateral is the borrower's equity in owner's house.
Home equity lines of credit will allow homeowners to borrow money at a lower rate than an unsecured loan, and to withdraw that money on a credit line which operates similarly to a credit card.
A home equity credit loan can be secured from 75%-90% of home equity owned of the total value of the home minus any outstanding mortgages, it depends on the bank or lenders.This loan is often only possible for homeowners who have at least 10-20% equity in their home.
And I will show you now some advantage of home equity line of credit.
It will reduce monthly payments by consolidating.
It will help you to increase cash flow flexibility in meeting current and future needs.
It potentially deducts the interest from your tax bill1
Especially, it will avoid the interest rate fluctuations with fixed rate home equity loan products
It will take advantage of closing costs which are typically lower than refinancing your first mortgage
It looks like a perfect financial solution but you are considering this type of loan should keep a few things in mind.
Besides, this type of loan is very flexible, it is allowing the borrowers to withdraw money against the line of credit up to their maximum, and you can pay it off as they are able, you also may remain available which to be drawn against even once they are paid in full. It is like a credit card, it is not necessary to reapply to use the line of credit again for further withdrawals and projects.
