For the purpose of this interview, I interviewed Mrs. Ann Clare- School Psychologist and Mrs. Scott Nelson- School Principal.

The purpose of the assignment was to interview an “elder” member of society to gain valuable information and insight into an individual’s experiences and development, and how they pertain to biosocial, cognitive, and psychosocial development. I had the pleasure of interviewing a woman aged 68, who provided a glimpse of the wisdom she has gained over her lifetime as well as her daily interactions and age-related topics.

More people are living much longer lives than in years past. People are very surprised to be living much longer lives than they thought they would. Health care has played a large part in patient longevity. There are many normal changes that come along with aging, however, because people are living longer these normal changes can become chronic problems. Common aging problems that can make the older adult a vulnerable population are reviewed in Gerontological Nursing (Tabloski, 2014) and can include nutritional needs, medication management, sleep changes, oral or mouth care, renal problems and musculoskeletal concerns. According to A Profile of Older Americans: 2013 (http://www.hhs.gov), there are a large amount

Bean I should be aware of the issues of conflict of interest. I need to make sure that our law firm has never represented Ms. Bean’s spouse. If this is the case at all I will need to inform her that we are unable to represent her. If I know Ms. Bean personally at all this would potentially cause a conflict of interest. Especially if I personally know her spouse as well. By carrying on this interview it will give me a great deal of insight into hew case and if any type of conflict of interest may occur I need to be very honest with Ms. Bean, as our potential client, because it could cause a change in the outcome of the case all together if she chooses to have us represent her (ABA, Rule 1.7). Of course I need to keep in mind the ethical rule of confidentiality. Whatever Ms. Bean shares with me is confidential, so it is only to stay between the firm and herself and she should be comfortable in knowing she can tell us anything and it will never leave the law firm (ABA, Rule

The interview conducted on Sunday, May 28, 2017, at 5 p.m., with a substance abuse counselor for the CMS school system. To begin with, the questionnaire consisted of 5 questions pertaining to the guidelines in a substance abuse group treatment setting, limits to content in membership, the appropriate size and leadership of the group, and recruiting select group members.

Overall, this interview was an excellent experience for me. I was appreciative of the time that the counselor gave me, especially after what she called a long day. I believe that she provided me with excellent information on group counseling in general, not just as a substance abuse counselor. I believe that this can also translate to school counseling, as I am more informed of what being an effective counselor to groups entails. I also have more information on how to counsel those who are dealing with substance abuse issues, whether it is within their family or friends, or if the students are dealing with it themselves. As found out when we spoke about her experiences, she has been in the role of both individual and group substance abuse counseling for a while now, so the information she provided me comes with years of experience of growing as an effective counselor. The information she provided me regarding how she still enjoys her role despite the challenges that arise gives me even more assurance that I will enjoy making a positive impact on others while embracing the challenges that come inevitably come up. I am now more convinced that eventually joining organizations such as the ASCA will help me stay effective as a counselor, so I will eventually join the organization.

I interviewed my sister Sierra and at first glance she looks like a small and delicate person but she has a very exciting personality and she has blond hair. As we got into the interview we got into the subject of how she felt when she had to learn some of the responsibilities of an adult and how it had affected her life. And she said that it made her feel more like an adult and that she felt that she had a lot more responsibilities being older. Some of the responsibilities she has are going to interviews managing her time planning a schedule preparing her food and managing her money.

On April 4, 2016, my classmates and I had the pleasure to meet with Sandy Sewell and take a tour of her apartment. It was a cold and rainy Monday afternoon. When I walked into the lobby, Sandy was sitting in her wheelchair greeting the class and telling stories to ease the tension. Over the next three hours, we got to know her on a personal level.

“Congratulations, you have a healthy baby boy!” A smile encompasses my face as I watch the scene in front of me, the joy in the room no louder than the screams of the newborn baby. As I stood at the side of the bed I realized that I would now be forever fixed in this child’s life, as the teenaged stranger that abetted his mother through childbirth. I watch the mother disconnect from all the commotion around her, her eyes fixed on her new baby. She was a sweet lady, nervous but amazingly pleasant. She’d been through this process before but over 10 years ago so I could understand her uneasy demeanor. With overwhelming joy, I dismissed myself from the new parents and as I reached the door, the mom thanked me profusely for my support. The clock read around 3:30am, meaning I’d been in the hospital for about 10 hours.
