I conducted an interview on Tina Hildebrant; she is my girlfriend’s mother and has been a family friend for many years. Tina’s very first job was working at the Davenport Moose Lodge as a salad lady. She stocked the salad bar with all of the toppings and sauces. After Tine left the Davenport Moose Lodge, she moved to a new position at Neurology Consultants PC. She worked there from 1998 to 2017. She worked for 20 years without changing her job title. She felt over whelmed, over worked, and under paid at times.

She thought working at Neurology Consultant PC was beneficial because it helped her talking with the public and communication skills. Tina now works for the

Amy Watters is a case study that shows a real life example of events that are happening to young people in our country on a daily basis.

The lonely bullied child is welcomed by the tough crowd and feels a sense of family and being welcomed, some for the first time.
Watching the Krista Harrison case was really hard for me to do, because I have two little girls of my own. However, the investigators took multiple necessary steps to find Krista’s killer and some steps were ignored. First when the witnesses describe the van to the investigators, there should have been a local search in that particular town and the town closest to it for all people who owns a van that was described to them.

Furthermore, the investigators did not do a good job of finding the killer of little Tina who had been murdered 8 months earlier, but because there were fibers found on Tina that were similar to those found on Krista opened the eyes to

I knew this group was vulnerable and in need of more advocacy to raise awareness but it was not as appealing as other populations. I did not have tremendous knowledge of what aging adults go through on a daily basis or any challenges they so often face. Therefore, when I arrived to the set location of the interview, I was a bit timid and afraid. This was my first time ever interviewing someone of this age with the intensions it was geared for. I was worried of how Denise was going to respond to my personal questions or if she even would. I was completely shocked to find that she was absolutely respectful and willing to answer anything I wanted to ask. After asking
Kay Harding at SMC is saying that Summit went over their credit limit with them so they want to orders moved to Summit’s direct account. We spoke with Terri and she states that because they did not respond to Stacey’s email in April indicating that the orders shouldn’t ship and that customer is not on their restriction list then they are responsible for the orders and they will not be moved from their account. I am concerned that they will start to push orders from their account if they have trouble collecting.
Michael is an adolescent male aged approximately in his mid-teens, currently completing year 10 at School. Michael’s mother made this initial appointment because she was worried about Michael’s sudden rapid decline in school grades in conjunction with increased amount of time spent in solitary.
