As reported in the client Interview, Helen Stonewall is a married, 32-year-old African American female and mother to her 5 year old daughter, Sonya. Helen night started at a bar where she progressed from a feel drinks with a couple of gentlemen that appeared to be friends where she then continued to become louder and more rowdy until she had to be forced out of the bar. Later, Helen was found dancing half naked in the middle of a busy intersection at 2 A.M by the police. Police stated that she appeared to be on drugs and was half naked when she was found and had to be placed in handcuffs when she refused to get out of the road. Helen explained to the police that she was not on drugs but was, “Just high on life”. Lab test later reported no evidence of excessive alcohol or other drug use. Helen reported to have been “racing” before she went to the bar. Helen describes herself to be up and down, going from periods of high energy and little sleep to then crash and feel periods of sadness with lack of energy or enthusiasm.

Upon completing the novel I realized I will be frustrated with my students at times and will need to remember that there is always a reason for a behavior. My reaction to the behavior will be a very important piece in the relationship I build with my student.

My goals for the session were to introduce myself to the client, understand the client’s concerns, learn her background and current situation for several areas relevant to her life and her concerns, such as medical, family, legal, educational, and vocational. I

They will need to use the form provided to describe the main characters in the books and give an overview of what happens in the start, middle and end of the book. The children will also be required to explore the personal connection they have with the book and what they thought of the

No matter how handy you may be with the power tools, there will come a time when you will need to hire the services of a general contractor. Sure you may pride yourself on your ability to handle even the most complex building tasks or your complete collection of shiny, well maintained tools. But if you are like most homeowners, you will eventually come across a construction or renovation job that is simply beyond your-or your toolbox's-capabilities. It is during these very occasions that you will need a general contractor.

Recent advancements in technology offer the organizations of today and the future boundless opportunities for improvements in service delivery. Although experts agree that the alignment of technology and the overall business strategy is both necessary and imperative, no clear path to optimum alignment exists. Christopher Nuckles, a IT Director I interviewed demonstrated full awareness of this fact. he and the company’s CIO, Matt Carey, and the executive IT leaders and displayed optimism the “interconnected retail strategy” they have for the company will ensure that Home Depot remains the product authority for home improvement. As part of the technical team that developed, enhanced, or supported several of the technological systems at Home Depot, Nuckles believes that the key to a successful technological future is innovation. Nuckles recognizes that the biggest hurdle for the Home Depot technology is the emerging e-commerce and he adds that Home Depot is ready for the boom. He explains that plans are underway to optimize the Home Depot mobile application entirely and make it available on all platforms so that the company remains relevant as technology keeps advancing.

Immediately, I continued to the next part of the Self-assessment section, values. The three options I most valued were altruism/helping society, creativity, and helping others. These values emphasize results I have found in previous sections. I truly value being someone who helps others and

The Holland Code was “...Developed by Dr. John Holland, who defined six categories of people based on personality, interests, and skills…” (page 499, The College Success Textbook). These six categories are: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.

My Holland code is I.S.A., which means I’m Investigative, Social and Artistic.

I opted to interview Ms. Brede, who was a paralegal at my internship site. In terms of her typical day, she described it as “constant change.” This was due to the fact that on a daily basis, she worked with a variety of indigent clients and attorneys. They basically dictated her typical day, given the different personalities and attitudes. Amongst the clients, there were many individuals that were hard to work with. That was basically the con of being a paralegal in Ms. Brede’s opinion. On one hand, she loved being able to help out homeless people (a pro of the career). On the other hand, some clients were uncooperative and did not seem to want to help themselves (i.e. completing drug treatments or securing employment). Even the simple task of showing up for a court date was apparently too inconvenient for some individuals. Nevertheless, Ms. Brede found her occupation to be highly rewarding.

She read her AP Language and Composition summer reading books, In Cold Blood and Eats, Shoots and Leaves, she also read Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief, it was a great book.

She loved how thrilling it was and how it kept her waiting for. The troubles she has read is trying to get into a book that does not entice her in the beginning.

Do Vocational Rehab Counselor impact clients ability to remain stable?” There was a client satisfaction questionnaire administered to each client during week one that consisted of 11 questions focusing on the client’s thoughts about the agency.
