I'm a junior in high school and I want to become a social worker, but I have no clue where to start?
My teacher's are no help, one even told me in a snarky way that I wasn't going to make any money doing this job because she was a social worker. I never once said I was in it for the money. I was lucky enough to get adopted into a nice family and I just want to help children.
My schools counselors don't ever have time to talk to anyone which is crazy. My parents have no idea how to help me, they never attended college.
I just don't know what to do or where to start? I don't even know how to apply for grants for collage or fill out applications. I'm just lost and no one in my life seems to even want to try to help me. I swear sometimes I hate living in Louisiana and going to a failing school. Can someone help me?

You need to find colleges that are in the region you want, which offer social work as a major. You can use the college searches on websites like www.collegeboard.com and the Princeton Review website to find these school. You can then look into the information they have on each one, and see which suit you. You can compare your SAT/ACT and GPA against their averages, to see if you have a shot at getting in.
In the fall of your senior year, you'll apply to colleges. To apply, you'll go to each college's website, and they'll tell you what you must do. You also will apply for financial aid to help you pay for school, at www.fafsa.gov. The information you fill in there will be sent to the colleges you apply to. As you get into each school, they'll send you a financial aid award letter, so you can see what grants and etc. you qualified for at that school.
