The location of the organisation is in a rural area. This poses a problem as it often means a small community, and the client system may not want to meet in a public place due to the chance a community member could see them with a social worker. Therefore, the office meeting space must be comfortable for the client system. To create a welcoming office space, nourishments such as refreshments and biscuits can be provided. The family has a cultural background, and in some cultures the offering of food is customary (Toseland & Rivas 2012, p. 138). A friendly introductory chat can engage each member and result in a positive environment to begin building a rapport.

Two main reasons contribute to why I would love to become a Housing Ambassador. To help get many prospective and current students excited and involved in campus housing is the first reason. So many people shoot down on campus housing because of the price; however, people do not realize housing is more than just a room you pay for. You live here, study here, and have fun here. There are many events, free stuff, and free food that residence halls and RSA provide for students. I want to be able to show students that off-campus students do not have the same experiences as on-campus students. The second reason I would like to become a Housing Ambassador is for the experience. Ultimately, I would like to become a dean or chancellor of a college in my golden years. Being an Housing Ambassador would provide me with life-long experiences that I could take into my future careers as a business leader, politician, and dean/ chancellor.

When you were young, you may have seen that one kid at school who did not belong to a friend group. You might have noticed how shy they would have been and how conflicted they might have felt. No friends to talk to, to laugh with, to play with. They would have seemed very dejected because they were not accepted by a group of friends. In class, they may not have raised their hand as often or communicated with others. Nobody would want to be that kid, but when someone is, others do nothing to help them even though in their place, we would also want help and acceptance. The novel, The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros shows that feeling like we are not accepted can have a big impact on us. The novel highlights a young girl, Esperanza, a Latina who lives in a neighborhood in Chicago who faces hardships and develops insecurities about herself that make her feel self conscious and judgemental towards herself. Cisneros argues that not feeling like we belong can affect our emotions negatively and make us more withdrawn and timid to prevent ourselves from being judged by others.

My main focus would be the children who are suffering from the lack of a stable home and three meals a day. There needs to be steps taken to mobilize individuals to assist in the work to improve the lives for the children who are suffering due to the lack of sufficient food and housing.

There needs to be a portion of the organization who primarily deals with advertisements and contacting the government officials who could assist in making the organization prosper.

From Kindergarten up to eighth grade, I learned about countries from all continents. The teachers taught us about the culture, customs, and other attributes that made each country unique.

The authors of “Assembling Social Space” argue that everyone, no matter where they live, is locally and globally connected to people who do not necessarily live near them through media and technology. Wiley states that we are all globally connected, but live in a local way (Wiley, 2015). Living in a technology-driven society, we are able to stay connected with people and have access to resources from all around the globe. The thesis is that as individuals, we are all locally connected within our environment and ultimately globally connected due to the interconnection of these two types of societies. This is important within the field of communication because it explains how individuals are able to be locally and globally connected with people from all over the world.
