Foster Care Creative Title

My interview with a Foster Care Worker went will. When i walk into her office Wednesdy 3-30-11 after school I was Nervous. Then she took us to this confrence room and we sat down. I gave her a copy of the questions and ask if she would like to look at them and give me information or if she would like me to read the questions. So Michelle Love discided she woul read them. As Michelle Love read the questions and answered my mom took notes for me while I listened to all the important things Michelle said. Some of the interesting thing Michelle said was that you have to go to school and get a masters in Social Worker for two years after you get your Bachlors. Another interesting think I learned was that in Alameda County they place 1,600 kids each year during the mounths. Another thing I learned was that out of the 1,600 kids 160 get placed and 35% go back home 12 mounths later. Another thing is that the parents of Foster kids think they are getting paid alot, but in reality they are only getting paid just enough to buy clothes and food for the child. This is my expirence on my frist interview.

You had a very good strategy for getting and keeping all of your information and I am very impressed to say the least. You were able to efficiently listen and get notes at the same time which really relieves all the pressure of having to do both simultaneously. Congrats Miranda.
