Besides being a National qualifier in Cross Country in his first ever collegiate season, Alex is a very interesting character whenever it comes to his worldview. He is the type of guy that lives life to the fullest and always has a smile on his face and enjoys everything he does. Alex comes from a “very religious” Catholic background, as he informed me.

He believes that a good person attends Bible camp, Bible study, and Sunday school, but he still ponders, “ What does God want me to do?” He hears conflicting messages from church officials, community leaders, and his parents. In church, the Pastor indicates, “ That God’s people are rewarded for faith and good acts.”

1 a.) I have been performing my fieldwork at Whittier Health Network in Haverhill, Massachusetts. There many different types of patients and clients receiving services at my fieldwork site, from patients receiving rehabilitation services, to residents receiving dialysis. Some of the patients that my fieldwork supervisor and I have been meeting with have ranged in age from mid-forties to late eighties, and have had various diagnoses. One patient that my supervisor and I have met with was a women in her mid-fifties. She has recently had knee surgery, and has been suffering from respiratory problems.

He grew up in a solid Christian home. His father and mother both instilled in him the Bible and faith in Jesus Christ. His father instilled in him the deeper spiritual knowledge and discerning the Holy Spirit. As a result, he manifested advanced apperception as compared to his peers. His parents were assiduous in relation to serving others and living the faith despite poverty. He expended his youth helping his parents accommodating others.

Despite the lack of cultivation and learning in the morals and ethics of Christianity, he is able to form his own code of behavior based on example and the behavior he views from others.
