Tara Spaeth, LSW

I took my social work licensure exam on November 4th and did indeed pass. I needed a score of at least 70 to pass-my score was 81. After taking my exam I had to send my score report, my college transcript (proving I had my Bachelors Degree in Social Work), and get a background check. Upon completing all of the above they officially approved my license on December 5th, 2008- making me a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in the state of Ohio.

To show his support Matthew brought me home a dozen roses, the day I passed my exam. I also had two cards to follow- one from my family and one from Matthew's family. I really appreciated having others their share excitement in my accomplishment.

The only downfall to this situation is that I won't have much time to utilize my license in the state of Ohio and I will have to do this all over again once we move to Colorado. Social Workers must be (re)licensed in each state- only some states will accept a transferred license and Colorado is not one of them.
