There are some vocabulary issues here. Words a like 'thoughtless' and 'admired.' There are also some preposition issues...'From to' doesn't work very well, and neither does 'as lightning fast.'

My mother's sickness came in as lightning fast; this would be better stated as 'My mother's sickness seemed to come very quickly.'

Read it over and think about what it sounds like.

"I have always admired to be someone..." doesn't make sense.

Consider rewording "they act as care takers for everybody." Everybody?

"Becoming a social worker is a goal of life that I want to make a difference in other people's lives." This sentence doesn't flow or make much sense...consider rewriting it to be more simple. "One of my life goals is to be a social worker because I want to make a difference in the lives of others." (for example)

Thank you EF_Stephen and worldbound10 for commenting on my essay =)

Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to be someone who can help and improve the lives of others. Becoming a social workers is my dream. Social workers work in various field of our lives, such as providing child protection and supporting depressing families.You don't need to define it, I'm sure people know what a social worker is. My first life experience with a social worker was when my mother was diagnosed with severe depression. My mother's sickness came extremely fast, ;at age 14, I felt hopeless and helpless when my mother was taken from me to be hospitalized. Left alone by my busy working father, the social worker was the first person to approach me to give me comfort and support. Here it seems as if the social worker is left by your dad. You should change it to reflect your actual meaning. She told me that I needed to become stronger and more independent in order to ease stresses on my family. Her words gave me a sense of new direction to my helpless life. Without the social worker that cared for me, my life could have still been darkenedAwkward wording. Also, "darkened" sounds cliche. Try replacing it with something more sincere sounding.. Social workers play a crucial role in our community; they act as care takers for people and make our society a better and warmer place to live. One of my life goals is to be a social worker because I want to make a difference in the lives of others For your last sentence, you can write about how you want to be a social worker because you want to give back the same way your social worker did. Relate it to your experience.

I change my essay's idea a little bit.
Please comment on it.
Be critical and harsh.
Thank you!
