The Needs And Interests For My Program

Many teens in the US are employed part time while also attending high school. Having a license enables these teens to get to and from work, job interviews, or even in some cases become employed in the delivery business. USA Today reports that while 30% of teens have jobs, employment rate is still falling. Increasing the driving age would only decrease the number of teens in the workforce. Surprisingly one third of those teens working, do so to support their family. Without proper transportation these teens would be forced to either miss more school or work less in order to make ends meet while still

Often time graduate students have a general idea of the type of population they envision themselves working with, either adults or children.

Maturity and rationalization is not yet achieved or experienced by teenagers. In the era of technology there are several distractions for drivers of any age to maneuver. Parents can play an educational role by enrolling their teen into a driver’s educational program. Some states require students to complete a comprehensive graduated drivers licensing (GDL) program prior to receiving their license. The brain function is still developing in teenagers and may impede the quick thinking process necessary to become a responsible driver. For the safety and welfare of teenagers the age requirement in Arizona for a driver’s license should be increased from 16 to 18 years of age.

In the area of youth and family programs the agency has developed programs that are designed to provide a supportive environment to promote healthy development. At the same time, the agency’s

This would lead to a large amount of traffic in the area. The danger would be increased because of the fact that these are largely inexperienced, teen drivers. You would also risk the teens who don’t have transportation, and decide to walk somewhere for lunch, being hit or injured by these cars”.(crystal lamborado) in a school district of 11,000 students in suffolk county they stopped allowing students to go off campus because of a lunch time car that killed 2 seniors and another

Issue that in my opinion would affect the evaluation of a domestic violence program would be lack of information on the victim and abuser. Another affect on evaluation would be is there a data base on domestic violence crime. Is the data assessable, is there a statistic rate what is the ratio of women, men, and children been victim of domestic violence. Other issue that could affect the planning of domestic violence is the long term affect of being a victim of domestic violence. According to (N.D), "[The long term effects of domestic violence have not begun to be fully documented. Battered women suffer physical and mental problems as a result of domestic violence. Battering is the single major cause of injury to women, more significant that auto accidents, rapes, or muggings. In fact, the emotional and psychological abuse inflicted by batterers may be more costly to treat in the short-run than physical injury. Many of the physical injuries sustained by women seem to cause medical difficulties as women grow older. Arthritis, hypertension and heart disease have been identified by battered women as directly caused or aggravated by domestic violence suffered early in their adult lives.

The question of enforcing graduated licensing still remains but fewer people to enforce it with the job becomes easier. An answer for the "enforcement challenge''couldbe to have teenagers put a sticker on their car naming the date of when they can drive with friends. If the car is a parent's car police officers can simply ignore the sticker when the parent is driving. A simple solution but

While researching what effective programs for children, youth, and families look like I came across several interesting concepts. Many of the program's main goal was to empower their participants and make sure that they came out of the program with more knowledge. There were also programs that wanted to teach their participants about safety as well as how to improve their attitudes. There seems to be such a variety in programs but from what I could tell each program really wanted to improve the lives of children and families. All the programs that I looked at had a goal of providing people with helpful information that could further improve their lives.

Identify a need or opportunity for program development or a new area in which to practice:

A graduated license program would and has proven far more effective than raising the driving age to eighteen would be. Teens shouldn’t be immediately given the privilege of driving as soon as they turn sixteen. There is no possible way a written test can fully prepare them for the responsibilities and risks that come with driving. A program that gradually grants them that privilege through hands-on practice and adult supervision would help teens be less inexperienced on the road. Age isn’t the issue, it’s lack of experience and carelessness.

Teenagers today-In some households- help play bigger parts in their family,to help relieve stress for their guardians.Most students have siblings that are younger and might attend school down the street from them,having the student being able to drive to pick their siblings up would relieve their parents or guardians from one less point on the check-list. Me being in highschool I personally know teens who have bigger

As scholars are constantly reminded to eat a healthy portion of breakfast before testing, most scholars find themselves wondering, “Would eating breakfast really improve my performance?” According to many psychologists, consuming breakfast may have benefits in performance, but to an extent. However, some have also deduced that breakfasts may also harm the performance of scholars. Nonetheless, scholars who eat a healthy breakfast seem to have higher energy levels and ability than those who did not because of the nutrients consumed and absorbed by the body and mind. Consuming breakfasts would have beneficial effects on learning, to an extent; however, the different types of breakfasts could also have detrimental effects as well. The goal of this research is to determine not if breakfasts improve academic performance, but by how much? In addition, to the fact that there are possible “side effects” to this method of improvement, which leads to ask, are all breakfasts healthy? Scholars eating breakfast in order to improve performance may be possible for academic performance. However, if scholars believe and reason over the fact that eating breakfast does improve academic performance, then the effects of school behavior would be tested. Consuming a breakfast does provide nutrients for the body and mind. However, the nutrients provided could only benefit the body and mind to such a limit. Then, there is also the

Teens should not be permitted to drive until they are 18 years old. They should be able to drive on a temporary permit when they are 16 years old and use it until they turn 18 years old. This permit would allow them to drive only during daylight hours and with a parent/guardian. This would enable the young drivers to become more experienced. The eight hours of drivers training with your instructor is not enough. These teens need to get a feel for the road and learn to drive defensively. If you do not know how to operate a vehicle responsibly, it could be used as a deadly weapon. These young drivers are hurting themselves and other innocent people, because of their lack of experience and their irresponsibility.

My target area began as a focus on eating more in general. The food available at PSP was not always ideal, many times the food was either unhealthy or there simply weren’t enough options that I enjoyed. As a result, I noticed that my weight began to significantly decline and I desperately wanted to allay this problem. After completing my log sheets over three weeks, I came to the realization that the bulk of my missed meals came in the morning. I would sleep until eight to make sure that I received adequate sleep, however, I realized that in doing this; I was forgoing breakfast which was negatively affecting my health and my performance at Cornell. In fact, “research involving adults and children has indicated that breakfast might enhance memory, attention, the speed of processing information, reasoning, creativity, learning, and verbal abilities” (Consumer Reports). No matter a person’s age, breakfast is a vital part of their life.
