Joyce loves to see kids who are withdrawn and insecure bloom with confidence through experiencing a sense of belonging. On the week-ends Joyce likes to cook, read, and go to the Tampa Theatre to see foreign films. This, she feels, comes from a lack of knowledge of what social work is all about. Don't let your preconceptions get in the way of listening. She has noticed that racism and prejudice have damaged human trust.

This applies to the life of the client and to the lives of others.
