As a Supervising Social Worker at a local Foster Family Agency, I can tell you that with confidence. I have worked with children who have been so severely abused and neglected, it is a wonder that they are still alive. The human spirit will fight to survive and it will contine to do so, as long as there is hope. Sometimes, that hope comes in the form of an extended hand...the hand of a social worker. It only takes ONE dedicated person in the life of a child to make a difference. Antwone Fisher is a success story because it is about survival...and the connection between the child and the social workers. As I have told many, a Baker can create a cake and see the finished product. A firefighter may risk their lives to save others, but when the fire is out, they can go home after a job well done. Social workers may work for years, never fully realizing the impact on a childs life. Social work has truely left "an imprint on my soul". Social Work is like no other profession.

His social workers helped him discover his gifts so that he could use them in a positive way. Good for him and well done social workers!
