Now that Lorraine is a growing young child she has developed some issues that may cause bigger problems in her near future. Considering her mother’s low income, she is being left with a neighbor rather than being put in a daycare facility or an in home daycare. Usually leaving a child with a neighbor would be no problem as long as the neighbor meets the child’s needs and provides consistent quality care. However, the neighbor does not seem to care about Lorraine and just watches T.V. all day. Depending on what age Lorraine’s

At the time of the observation, Lucy had been living in the shelter for a year and a half. She shares a room with her mother and younger brother age 2.

Also, Lucy often times would demonstrate feeling of sadness, depression, and anxiety. However, with the help of the shelter staff, residents, and school staff, Lucy has demonstrated improvements in this area. Lucy only speaks English and is at grade level according to school reports.

Before attending the Ohio State University, I took several English classes at my high school. In total I obtained 5 English credits; one of the credits being from a program called Mosaic. Mosaic is a humanities based program focusing more on project-based learning instead of exams. These projects were mainly in the form of research papers. One of the papers assigned in the class was the Family Research assignment. The Family Research assignment was a twenty-five page essay regarding familial ancestry. For this assignment, it was required to have multiple MLA formatted sources; having one of the sources be from an interview. The assignment was long and tedious, but it taught me about how to cite my work to avoid plagiarism, how to write long

The third priority issue the social will address is getting assistance to Maria with her son Marco and employment. Marco was diagnosed with autism at age 4 and now is no longer in school having Maria “overwhelmed.” Maria has lost her job and her medical insurance. The first thing will be getting Marco evaluated by a doctor to make the decision of what care is appropriate for him. Having the communication with Marco primary doctor will be important. Maria stating she does not know “what to do with him” confirms her unknown knowledge of the resources in her community that can be a help for her.
