“From Personal Experience to Professional Passion: My Journey to Social Work” Growing up, I always had a strong desire to help others. Whether it was offering a listening ear to a friend or volunteering at a local charity, I found fulfillment in

This is a personal narrative essay for my application into a social work graduate program.  I have gotten most of the information down, but I am rusty with writing and need help with the flow of the essay, grammar, anything that sounds wrong or awkard, and a little more writing to get me up to 4 pages (probably about #3 of the instructions because I didnt touch on it as much).  I need help making the essay sound better in general.
The instructions were:
APA format and limited to five typed pages in length. The narrative should include the following components: 
(1) Two relevant life experiences that influenced the choice of social work as an academic and career goal. Examples of these life experiences should be provided with a discussion of how the experiences influenced the applicant personally and professionally.  
(2) Relevant professional, internship, volunteer, and /or research experience.  
(3) Experience with social and economic justice and how the applicant plans to uphold this important social work value.
