This week I will reflect on my learning process and what I have learned so far.  To get an understanding of what I have learned so far I looked back at my recent blogs, journals and readings to get a better understand.In the beginning, I had some trouble getting use to the online class, but now find this site really easy to use . I think i need to challenge myself to see what an online class is about. 
Even though I  took an aging and a mental illness class around older adults in undergrad, I  have learned a lot so far .Both of the reading such as "The Giver" and "the Last Days of Ptolemy Grey" made me look at my life and society. The videos that we have watched over the past couple have weeks have updated me on statistics that i was unaware of. The socail work video that we watched allowed me to see the completed process that social workers go through to assess their clients.
 
 The one exercise to see what specific libraries  in our community had to offer  older adults was important because i did not even know of some of the activities that the libraries had to offer. That exercise made me  realize that many places do not offer benefits for older adults. 
We had to find resources and share them with the rest of the class, and I learned that as a social worker, it is imperative to improve our knowledge about the effective resources to help our clients and their caregivers.   To become a competent social worker,I need to improve my knowledge about the illness that can affect our clients and how we can improve the quality of their life. 

Overall, this class has been helpful for me to continue my path on become a clinical social worker. What i have learned from this class will allow me to incorporate the information and apply it in the real world.
