Not Yet a Social Worker<br />
I am a poor college student<br />
And I am privileged<br />
Because my parents are middle class<br />
But I am not a social worker<br />
I take sociology classes<br />
And I learn about many things<br />
Like race, class, poverty, and gender<br />
But I am not a social worker<br />
I work in a store<br />
And I serve people<br />
Old, young, white, black, privileged and poor But I am not a social worker<br />
I am a person<br />
And I observe people<br />
My roommates, my friends, my family, and strangers But I am not a social worker<br />
I am more than all <strong>of</strong> these things<br />
I am a daughter, a sister, a woman<br />
A friend and a helper<br />
But I am not a social worker<br />
Not yet.<br />
But I could be.<br />
I could be a counselor, a therapist<br />
A listener, a believer, a supporter, and more But I am not Because I am not a social worker<br />
But I will be.
