All my life I've wanted to help people and for the past year or two I have decided that the perfect profession for me would to be a Social Worker. Next year I get to take a journey to HighSchool and I was wondering if you have any ideas of what classes would help to acheive my dream?Also... Would knowing a second language help? I get A's and B's and I'm a goody good girl thats never gotton a detention and of course I have never got in trouble with the police because after research I understand that they do background checks. Please would you respond with ideas that would help me later in life. Also, how long do you have to go to collage if you want to be a "Social worker" I am realy intrested in Child, family, and school social workers. Though a lot of kids dont realy appreait people like this I belive they do help alot. I would love to work for a company. My dream all my life has been to have a email adress so people could email me and i could help them with there problems. Now i have a dream helping people in such a way and I know I can achieve this. I know I'm only in 8th grade but I know this is the job for me
Sincerly,
Meg

Here are a couple of links that should be useful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_workers
To be a social worker you'll need a B.A. in social work, although it's not uncommon to move on and get a Master's degree as well. A B.A. takes four years, and a Master's takes two more years (or more, in some cases).
Knowing a second language certainly couldn't hurt, and it would definitely help - as long as it's a language spoken by some of your prospective clients.
Good luck!
