I interviewed three different family member of all different age that have experienced my family culture in their own way. For my interview I interviewed My mother Okala Mundeke. She is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo but she moved to America when she was 35 years old and she is now 50 years old. She has grown up mostly in Congo so she has a strong knowledge of our heritage and family history since she was around it more.. My sister Emmanuella Kalonda she was born in the congo but has little memory of it since she was less than a year old when she came to america. she is currently sixteen years old. But she was raised with my mother learning about family and our culture. My next candidate is my other sister Jocelyn Fetner
In life many individuals will experience the joys of marital bliss with the pleasure of happiness when they see their spouse, the thought of living their entire lives together, starting and raising a family, the process of buying their first home together as a married couple, and overall embarking on a new and profound journey with the one they love; on the contrary however many of these same couples will encounter times in the relationship and within their immediate family that will include feelings of: being overwhelmed, stressed, annoyed with their spouse, children, stepchildren “as many families are blended due to many first marriages ending in divorce after children have been conceived,” stress from work, bills, as well as the many other
Thank you for inviting me back for summer #6! I am so grateful you'll have me once again. I am planning to come home to work opening weekend but at this time I am unable to attend the meeting on Sunday, April 9. Please let me know if that is an issue.
I had the opportunity to interview a family very close to me whom I have been blessed to know since I was three years old. The mother Heidi, who is 59, remarried at the age of 31 to Paul, who is 57, and they have been married for 28 years now. Heidi had her first son Markie, who is now 38, with her previous husband who is no longer in the picture. Paul and Heidi have a son named Travis who is 26 and a daughter named Tina who is 24. Paul used to work as a carpenter but retired when he was 52. He then began working at a grocery store and eventually retired from there as well. Heidi also worked at a grocery and just recently retired. Paul loved what he did as a carpenter and still continues to build things for the family such as cabinets and furniture.
They are on a regular diet with few restrictions on fried foods and fat intake. The children eat school lunch and the parents from outside restaurant choices. Mom tries to cook a meal a day after work or they seldom eat Subway or Pizza Hut. No variation in weight gain or weight loss reported. They try to eat dinner as a family at home on a regular basis. However, this was not feasible all of the time due to dad’s late night work hours and CH basketball practices after school. They generally get 6-7 hours of sleep per night and denied any sleep deprivation. No exercise program has been implemented by this family. CH is the only physically, athletic member. DH stated that he likes to ride his bike. The children are active in Sunday school and participate in summer camp.
African American students are generally most successful in a less formal, experience-driven learning environment. They tend to prefer cooperative learning and a social atmosphere. The attention span for African American students has been shown to be shorter than other those from other cultures, so shorter, more concise lessons benefit them. It has been shown that African American students enjoy storytelling and learning through hands-on experience and creative methods.
As a black American, I not only identify with African American culture. My family origins are of African American and Jamaican culture. As an African American, I identify with traditions such has kwanzaa, black history month, superstitions, and religion. As a Jamaican, it’s quite similar but there’s Rastafari, carnival, independence celebration, and more. Being African American, there’s tradition of close kinfolk relationship and dependence upon my family’s matriarch.
The typical black family has only six percent of the typical white household, and Latinos has eight percent of the typical white household. The median white household had $111,146 in wealth in 2011, $7,113 for the median black household and $8,348 for the median Latino household. This is a huge gap because of the economic disadvantages for people of color. The economic gap means that families of color cannot have the same benefits as white families. With homeownership, about 73% of white peoples own homes, while only 45% of black families and 47% of Latino families own homes. Also white family’s homes are worth more than other families of color. That inequality comes from the 1934 National Housing Act that redlined black neighborhoods, which
Did you know that one third of all children in the United States (US) are expected to live in a stepfamily before they reach the age of 18[helpguide.org 2008]? While some people consider blended families abnormal, they can be just as good as a “regular” family. With blended families becoming more common, there are more studies being done to show both the similarities and differences between “regular” and blended families.
Happy birthday to my wonderful, talented, smart, handsome husband! I thank God for the day I met you! I love who you are and all you do. You have blessed me with incredible kids and an amazing life. I know that living with me can get crazy but no matter what crazy scheme I get us into you excel! Most recently in the roles of baseball coach, cheer dad, and carpenter (Syd's dollhouse)! Our life truly reminds me of my favorite bedtime story to read to the kids; the Dr.Seuss book "The Places You'll Go!" Full of adventure, good times, some hard times but always fun and colorful! It has been a remarkable journey and I am looking forward to many, many more years together! I will follow you anywhere! Happy Birthday my love!
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of FCF families will go through an initial assessment to assess what they know about keeping safe and healthy homes. The assessment will include family input (self-assessment) as well as FSW observations.
To the woman who goes above and beyond for me constantly without any kind of Thanks,For being my number one fan at all times.

Today, I would like to take some time and appreciate all the things my Mom and Dad has done for us. Thank you so much ___ and __for everything you guys have done for us, we will never be able to repay for it. Happy Birthday to the hardest working man out there!! Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise, even if it is your own cousin, friend, or brother. You will come across many people who won’t appreciate the things you have done for them. They simply will not understand until they walk in your shoe; no point in arguing with such immature, shameless people. If a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty; let karma do its job, rather than stressing. The people who really knows you, really appreciates all the things you
My family has many memories from good to bad, but this is one that I’ll never forget. I would say that seeing my brother/sister born would be the best and it is, but I would exclude it from the list for that it would be an obvious number. My favourite family memory is when we got our first dog, Zac. Zac was a pure german shepherd puppy and we got him from a german shepherd breeder by Rockford. He was a small dog when we got him, but would soon grow up to this big german shepherd. He may have been the most aggressive and energetic dog ever, but he wasn’t doing well and was really sick. It first started with him not eating at all and then one morning I woke up and saw him on the ground not able to pick himself up. We then brought him to the
A family health assessment is a significant instrument in conveying a health care plan for a family. This paper will discuss the nurse’s role in family assessment and how this task is performed. By the use of family focused open ended questions, 11 functional health patterns were covered. The health patterns were values and health perception, nutrition, sleep and rest, elimination, activities and exercise, cognitive, sensory-perception, self-perception, role relationship, sexuality, and coping. This principle is known as the Gordon’s functional health patterns. Family health assessment defines the assessment of actual and potential problems of individuals (Gordon, 1994). This assessment tool included 11 systematic principles for data collection of the family, and assists the nurses to develop a nursing diagnosis and appropriate interventions. Using Gordon’s functional health patterns, this paper will summarize the findings of each health pattern as well as the family based nursing diagnosis of each assessment. This paper will also discuss different health promotion strategies along with web-based resources, also including a system based theory guide in family assessment.
