siblings to jobs, disinterest, and behavioral issues. And academic success and, in some states, funding depend heavily on students being in class (Zalaznick, 2015). Thomas missed school to be around other peers and to get involved in dangerous activities. School districts depend on students being in class to get funding. When students are not in school it hurts them but also affects the school district financial resources.
Spiritual Application
Thomas Sam is a child. According to Scripture, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” (I Cor 13:11, King James Version). Thomas ways and actions speaks of his level of maturity. When confronted concerning his wayward attitude he responded with tears. He lacked the ability to hold the self-accountable for his deeds. He inability to perceive danger, process own action shows how unprepared to deal with life decisions and make better ones. Thomas sought the opportunity to amend for his misdeeds by appealing to Mr. Clark. The Bible declares, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Heb 4:16, King James Version). Thomas found mercy and responded with a change in heart and integrity. A spiritual reinvestment into the value system one person at a time can make a difference in how children will respond to the negative activities in their schools and community. Thomas is an example of making a difference in one child can make a difference in the masses.

This paper examined the issues through a literary review of Thomas Sams, a character from the movie Lean on Me. The paper identified the social, community, and
This again could have a huge influence as a lot of looked after children are moved around regularly. This will effect their education enormously. Separation and attachment issues are quite often the cause of many reasons not to want to be in school. This is constantly worked on by schools to find the best way to include these children in school and to be able to give them a good standard of education.
According to Taylor (2002), spiritual awareness is important for a nurse or a nursing student if he or she wants to be effective in healing or as a provider of spiritual care. This is because religious and spiritual dimensions of life influences the lives of many people (Wong, Hockenberry, Wilson, Perry, & Lowdermilk, 2006). By assessing the spiritual aspects of patients and families, nurses strive to meet the spiritual needs of individuals, which provide strength through holistic nursing care (Wong et al., 2007). Therefore, spiritual assessments are an important component in nursing practice.
Going to school frequently won't guarantee that those children learn however, missing expanded times of school puts a kid at danger. Especially when they miss moments where they are supposed to be gaining the fundamental scholarly abilities that prompt getting to be successful. All children, despite ethnicity and financial foundation, do scholastically worse in first grade on the off chance that they are chronically truant (missing 10 percent or a greater amount of school including pardoned and unexcused absences) in kindergarten. A late study in California found that just 17 percent of kids chronically missing in both kindergarten and first grade were capable perusers before the end of third grade when contrasted with 64 percent of their companions who
“These factors include: incidence of poverty, the depth of poverty, the duration of poverty, the timing of poverty (age of child), community characteristics (concentration of poverty and crime in neighborhood, and school characteristics) and the impact poverty has on the child’s social network (parents, relatives and neighbors).” Any one of these factors can contribute to a child not being able to focus in school which can ultimately lead to a child falling behind in their education. With the current trajectory the education system as a whole, not taking into account those disadvantage students that may struggle at school because they have to worry about trying not to struggle at home when the school day is
Assignment Spiritual Needs Assessment ………………..Use the articles provided in the readings for this module. The Joint Commission provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using these resources and any other guidelines/examples you can find, make up your own tool for assessing the spiritual needs of patients.
In addition, when parents don’t get involved with the students school life, students find it easier to fall through the cracks and end up dropping out. “Thirty eight percent believed they had “too much freedom” and not enough rules”. It was too easy to skip class or engage in activities outside of schools,” (Bridgeland 4).
Within Zenju’s The Way of Tenderness she speaks to a reengagement with how spiritual awakening is understood within Buddhist discourse. In particular Zenju challenges the gap distancing spiritual awakening from our everyday experiences. Instead, Zenju argues to inextricably link spiritual awakening and everyday experiences: “awakening does not come in a blind, euphoric, or empty world” (2015, 7). Further, Zenju’s engagement with spiritual awakening creates space in which to critique Buddhist discourses that serve to oppress bodies, as well as to recover Buddhist discourses that serve to liberate bodies. The same Buddhist discourse can be used to both liberate and oppress people,
Students are at risk of dropping out of school when parents and students do not perceive that additional schooling is worth the investment of time and money, that is, when the costs of schooling exceed the expected benefits. A high rate of dropout could indicate that students are not learning enough, that the quality of schooling is too low to justify student’s time and the direct cost in terms of parental contributions. Other factors can also put children at risk of dropping out of schools. When schools do not offer all the grades of the basic cycle and children therefore have to change schools to attend the higher grades and increase their travel time to get to school. Many schools have either been closed by the government or occupied and damaged by internally displaced people or armed
The model pertaining to spirituality and its value related to healing endures much cynicism from individuals who cannot accept the concept. From the beginning of their educational path, nurses and physicians are taught to focus on the disease, diagnosis or treatment. This “tunnel vision” becomes problematic for the hospital to allocate the resources needed to develop the individualities needed to develop a healing hospital environment. Chapman (2007) states that the “cynic is deaf to the occasional loving and caring of others” (p. 39). In this author’s experience, patients are more cultured
In addition to experimentation and recreational use, people may use drugs for spiritual purposes. An example of the use of drugs for spiritual purposes would be psychedelic drugs such as LSD or psilocybin. However, substances to overcome pain connects to not only maladaptive behavior but also addiction as an immoral conduct. Addiction as an immoral conduct demonstrates that an individual is held responsible for their action with a substance. Although an individual may watch other family members use drugs, he or she has the choice whether to use the drug. I agree with you that all three views are valid in the respect that each individual has their reason for being an addict or using a substance. As to the medication, prescription abuse can happen
Spiritual care of a patient is an essential aspect of nursing practice because it greatly impacts individual’s ability to heal. Understanding spiritual concepts and the meaning they hold for both the provider and patient alike, yields best possible care, because knowing what both individuals understand and expect will allow for thorough assessment and adequate delivery of healthcare. Nurse practitioner (NP) must “practice with compassion and respect for inherent dignity, worth, and unique attributes of every person” (Winland-Brown, Lachman, Swanson, 2015). In this spiritual concept paper, humility is defined as an action of placing the needs of others before own, while doing so without arrogance and superiority. In an effort to support stated
This is a self-help book for spiritual enlightenment. The main theme of the book is the importance of living in the moment – in the ‘now.’ It teaches you to be present rather than dwelling in the past or future. The author strives to convey the fact that you will feel better if you can avoid thinking about anything other than what is happening in the present. Many people are thinking compulsively throughout the day. The ability to stop these compulsive thoughts enables you to fully embrace the current moment for what it is. You feel negative emotions when you fail to control your thoughts, which cause fear, anger, and sadness. Another strong theme of the book is that external things will not bring you happiness. If you allow yourself
Do you ever feel like you have one foot in the door of spiritual awaking and the other in the world?
I was truly looking forward to this assignment. The assessment shows that my top spiritual gifts are: Mercy-Showing, Shepherding, and Administration. I can see how accurate this assessment is by looking at the results. God has given me a compassionate heart, which compassion leads to mercy. I can't explain the fact that no matter what, I will always have mercy on others. I ask God, how could I feel mercy towards someone who scarred me for life, and He reminded me that was Him through me. By God showing mercy on me, he taught me how to have mercy on others. "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy" (Matthew 5:7, New International Bible).
Simon (1989) argued all counsellors should practice and develop genuine spiritual disciplines (as cited in Gubi, 2008). Thorne (2003) holds a similar view and mentions that each counsellor should discover their own spiritual discipline they feel comfortable with before practicing. He believes practicing spiritual disciplines for counsellors is a vital part of the counselling and it creates a new way of being and working which brings about meeting the client at relational depth. This is what Rogers described as touching the inner sprit of one another and transcending to something larger in which growth, healing and energy are more likely to be experienced (Thorne, 2003). Some of the most effective spiritual disciplines practiced by counsellors such as prayer, meditation, mindfulness and self-exploration are discussed in the following. Apart from the mentioned reasons underpinning the development of spiritual disciplines by counsellors, each of these disciplines highly benefits the counsellor’s wellbeing and the efficacy of the therapy in unique ways.
