Helping Hand

I couldn’t find my sister’s camera to take a picture of what I thought social work looked like but, I figured this picture of hands would suffice. The very moment I saw this picture I knew that it symbolized everything that I find social work to be. I call this picture the “Helping Hand” simply because it displays an older hand, maybe a father or grandfather, leading a younger hand into the right direction. This image stuck out from all of the others because it allowed me to see that social work is more than just a task that people are compensated for but, something that everyone does on a daily bases. Fathers, mothers, grandparents, and even siblings help guide the “future”, the younger generation, toward the correct path. With this being said, social work does the exact same thing, it helps people of almost any age prosper through life’s unforgiving trials. Although, this is not an “original Naleah picture”, it has meaning and exhibits what I find to be the beauty of social work.
