Evelyn Garcia Aguado Poverty

Living in Mexico throughout her teen years was very rough. Unlike other teenagers where their parents constantly provide for their children, Marisela’s life was a lot different than the usual parent- child relationship. She lived with her Abuela ( Grandma) Lupe, along with her 3 brothers and sister. She constantly had to take care of her brothers and sister at such a young age, that she became the mother-like figure of the

Conducting an interview with someone makes you see things in many different perspectives and in a new light. The person I interviewed saw nursing as a broader term that saw things in a different way even though she has just started. She knows that special people need to take roles in being a nurse. I interviewed my aunt, Ann Juknevicius. She is 30 years old and she has been a nurse for 2 years in Illinois now. Relatively she is a new nurse. One of the main reasons why I started the nursing program is because I look up to Annie a lot and she showed me so many different perspectives on how to look at people, different situations, and the way you handle things. I thought that it would be a great interview session to see if Annie’s expectations were the same as the nursing reality.

Anna and Mari do not have a huge support system in the choices that they make. Anna has her boyfriend and teacher who supported her choice to go to college. But only a few members of her family even considered it a good idea for Anna to go to college. Mari only support was Yoli, she was considered a lost cause from everybody else. Not having anybody support the choices you make or to be a voice of encouragement is though on a person. Without the support of Yoli, Mari was ready to accept the fact that the school said she should drop out of school, until Yoli supported her to make them eat their words. These young Chicana women were able to encourage themselves to do their own thing without much help from the outside world.

Poverty among the Latino community has converted into an endemic predicament in the development of children living in the United States. The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) indicated that poverty is uppermost with children making up 21.6% living below the poverty line in comparison to young adults (19.0%) and elders (18.1%). The California Poverty Measure (CPM) by PPIC analysis concluded that 7.5 millions of Californians lacked resources and made an income of about $30,000 a year. That is just above the poverty line which is to earn $24,000 a year. Although Latinos are constantly operational in the work field, they have a higher scarcity rate than any other ethnic group due to their association with lower education and deficiency of income (PPIC, 2017). In addition, according to The Pew Research Center, many Latino families are experiencing economic hardship as a result of moribund financial wealth, increased mortality rates, and higher birth rates among the Latino immigrant population (Lopez, Velasco, 2011). Poverty has produced several obstacles to Latino children in regards to their shifting family dynamics, learning, and development, but there are wide-ranging solutions that aid children of limited income households to prosper. This essay will scrutinize and discuss the assorted effects of poverty for Latino children living in the United States in the context of family dynamics, education, and development, as well as propose a solution to

I believe my cumulative employment, education, and life experiences, as well as my passions, and vocational direction have uniquely gifted and prepared me to excel in the AGACNP program at South Carolina and to become a compassionate, skilled, servant to my city. I believe strongly in an incarnational and missiological modality of medicine as it relates to nursing, and I am confident that my skills, coupled with Carolina’s uniquely crafted program will enable me to serve a grossly under-served population, and further the field of advanced practice nursing through effective practice which utilizes the most current evidence to improve care. The homelessness of my father developed in me a strong passion for serving those in greatest need and

Isela Solis was born August 4, 1998 in Salinas California. She was born and raised in Salinas and ever since she was young she had always wanted to become a nurse, to help those who couldn’t help themselves. As time went on she came to realize that becoming a RNA wasn’t something that came as an interest to her anymore. Most of the women in her family were in the Dental Field and when a program in the ROP center for Dental Assisting was available for her to take her Senior year she thought she would give it a try. After about a month had passed in the class she came to know that she loved the Dental Field and even decided that she wanted to go to school to become a Dental Hygienist. It wasn’t easy for Isela during high school, she didn’t have

Enrique’s conditions living in poverty as a young child through older adolescence had many negative effects on his family and his own emotional state. His family’s economic situation is what primarily led to Enrique’s mother leaving home to make money in the U.S. and help her family. Having to grow up and be raised by other family members instead of his own biological parents, played a significant part in his development as his dysfunctional and oppressive environment caused detrimental issues with trust in others and lack of love from his parents.

In “This (Illegal) American Life,” by Maria Andreu states that she was an Argentinian immigrant who went through difficult times in order to get to America. She considered herself as an American, and didn’t want to ruin her assumed role. To start off, Andreu’s parents went to New York to make money with the visa they received, but their visa expired and they decided to stay. When she was six years old, her grandfather died. She and her mother attended his funeral in Argentina. Her father planned for them to come back in a month, but they got stuck in Argentina for two years. Even though Audreu had the chance to experience her native culture, she still missed her lifestyle in America. Her father found smugglers who helped them cross the Mexican

Poverty has increasingly become a noticeable issue worldwide over the past couple of decades. With the middle class steadily decreasing, considerable amounts of people are becoming part of the lower class, and even more of our world’s population are beginning to live in poverty. It is important to understand there are different definitions of poverty, and that is largely determined by what each country’s government determines as the cut off of poverty, otherwise known as the ‘poverty line’. Although some people could live above the poverty line, and still be struggling financially, it goes unrecognized by most research collection. However, what was initially noticed around the 1970’s is that there was a significant rise in women’s poverty statistics. More female-headed households were living in poverty, and a majority of those women belonged to a minority. This recognizable trend has been deemed the ‘feminization of poverty’, which according research is not only a growing problem in North America, but several other countries around the world. Information gathered about this issue in the United States shows that female-headed households is by far the fastest growing type of family structure, and due to the fact there is a growing poverty level amongst this group, it now means that approximately half of the all the poor in the United States live in a women-headed family and household. (Gimenez, 1999, p. 336) The biggest question when is comes to this particular topic is why?

Poverty, or the inability to afford basic human needs, is an issue that is spread worldwide. There are people everywhere who cannot afford shelter, food, healthcare, or education. It seems easy enough to ignore the bum asking for change on the street, but it becomes near impossible in regions where whole families are begging on the street. This rings true in Latin America and it is extremely frustrating to see social inequality this extreme. This essay will examine how much poverty exists in Latin America, why the amount of poverty is so disproportionate and what can possibly be done to alleviate the amount of poverty in these countries.

Nurses visit the homes of young, first time mothers who are in poverty and give them advice and guidance when raising their child.

According to a 2015 study by The Organization for Economic Corporation and Development, Mexico has one of the highest rates of income inequality in the world which inevitably leads to a sharp contrast among living conditions, agency, and power between the rich and the poor. Mexican society has been stratified since the Mexican revolution. The goals of the Mexican revolution were to disperse wealth but the policies enacted made it difficult to make a living in a rural setting thus serving as a catalyst for a mass emigration to cities where people were could only find shelter in the slums

As a child growing up, I often felt like a gypsy because my mother moved just about every year. I have attended over ten public schools from the first grade through the twelfth grade. I was born in Baltimore, Maryland at City Hospital, which is now known as Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. I am the oldest of two children and I was raised by my mother; my father was absent from my life. Later, my mother told me that he was an alcoholic and my child support was $25 a week and we were lucky to get that. Like all children who saw their relatives from time to time, I was always asked what I wanted to be when I grow up. My reply was always the same, “a nurse” I would say enthusiastically and without hesitation, and then when asked why I would say, “I love taking care of sick people.” I thought nursing was just about taking care of sick people and giving them medicine to make them feel better but I have since discovered that giving medicine is a very small part of nursing. Assessing, educating, and being an advocate plays a major role in nursing.

Nancy, also known as, “Nasrin,” was born and raised in a country in the Middle East, along with her immediate family and relatives. Growing up in a third world country was a definite challenge for them because of all the religious persecution, abuse, and constant negativity they received while living there. All of these factors played a big role in her life growing up. Although she and her family had it really tough, my mother always kept her head up for success. She never let anyone put her down or crush what she had envisioned for herself to achieve in life. Her positive mindset got her through all her years of elementary, middle, and high school and eventually through college. She graduated with a bachelor of science and a nursing degree. When in 1979 a revolution occurred in her home country, my mother single-handedly decided to leave everything behind to pursue a better and independent life in America. She came with literally nothing and no one but eventually
