碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 社會工作學研究所 === 102 === I am under-graduated student in Sociology and this master thesis shows the transition experience of my own learning process from Sociology to Social Work. It all begins from the practical training. After facing the service users directly, I felt really confused and depressed. When I struggled to figure out what the essence of Social Work is, I found out that I simply followed the rules of Capitalism when providing service for service users. After that, I felt so frustrated that I need to search for my social work identity. Later, I decided to use the self-narrative to reconstruct my own image of social work field. Besides, I also used several theoretical perspectives to reorganize and reexamine my own life. Those theories include critical social work, post-modern and post-structuralism theory. Step by step, I obtained a temporary suitable position in social work field. Moreover, I successfully deal with my emotion. On the one hand, I realized the implicit influence of power structure in social institute. And this is what the social workers must confront this existing power structure. On the other hand, I got a clearer understanding of myself and gain more self–confidence. The self-narrative really made me discover the real meaning of social work to me. Although, I don’t have social work practical experience, I think this writing process will be a starter for me. I will expect myself to take more action. After all, actions speak louder than words.
