Many health problems affect the elderly population. It seems like every day there is a new health problem that many elderly people have to deal with. One of the problems that affect the elderly is Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is commonly known as RA. When elderly people have been diagnosed with RA it is usually caused by their immune system, which has become weak over time. Having RA causes a lot of pain for elderly people usually in their feet and hands. Some treatments can help with RA, if the doctors can catch it in time before it gets too bad. Many people don’t really know what RA is or what causes it. So what is RA? What causes it? What are some of the symptoms? How is RA treated? How does RA affect the elderly?
The Sierra Leone government also took up child combatants, they were best known as rarray boys. Abdullah describes these young men as ‘thugs’, they worked for politicians and caused much trouble throughout the community. The rarray boys were violent, they used drugs and often stole from their fellow people (45). The war continued to progress and eventually became worse. The country was left in disarray and the citizens were left traumatized, “January 1999, the country experienced an unprecedented orgy of violence, destruction, and untold human suffering. Close to 50,000 people were killed or maimed in the process” (240). At this point many of the citizens feared for their lives and fled the country. They went into neighboring countries such
The first reason I want to be a Residential Leader is because I feel like students will need someone to talk to several times while at school and an RL is the perfect person to go to. Students don’t want to go to their parents most of the time because they’re afraid they will disappoint them and they will not look at them the same after they’ve done something they regret. Students also don’t want to go to the counselor on campus because they feel like most of the stuff they need to talk about isn’t that serious, they just need to get it out to someone they can trust. Students trust their RL because they’re chosen to keep watch on their hall, they’re there to protect them when need be and to be a mentor for everyone. RL’s need good listening ears and the ability to take situations and diffuse them and I feel like I have that ability. In high school all my friends came to me for advice and most
I have always been told that being in Hall Council is a great way to start to prepare to becoming an RA. Being an RA is something that I have wanted to do since high school. In no way, shape, or form, am I using my presidency as just a platform to becoming an RA, but I am taking away what I must for me to successfully become an RA. For an example, I am showing Josh (RC) and the RA’s that I am a hard worker and can complete any task. Furthermore, I have already learned how to do a duty round, and how to “man” the front desk. Without being in Hall Council, I would most likely not have this skill set needed to be a RA.
From the result of community feedback, RA needs to spend more time in the community interacting with her residents. Many of residents felt RA was not available and accessible enough. RA indicated that she had a hectic schedule for this semester. This factor limited RA’s availability to her residents. Given the tight schedule, RA was more reserved for volunteering projects, such as serving as a RA/PM selection panelist, RA training presenter or facilitating dialogue during weekly staff meetings, etc. RA can improve it by prioritizing her RA position than other none-academic commitments and striving for volunteering opportunities, and taking initiatives to plan and conduct team projects instead of waiting for assignments.
I would try to balance the conflicting roles of being a peer and a RA by not rubbing it in other residents faces that I have higher power then them. I would act just the same as any other person living in the hall. I would only take my power into hands when situations come up that I need to step up and be in a higher position than just a normal resident. It is important to have rules and regulations in the residence halls become you need rules to keep everything flowing smoothly. Without rules, it would be a zoo and nobody would be able to sleep or study for anything. The rules of the halls are just to make sure we have a safe living place and nobody gets hurts while going to school. A lot of things can happen if we don’t enforce the rules
I know personally I became more aware of my race and gender by associating with people that were more involved in the issues that surrounded those traits. I became more aware of what a minority is, because I am attending a prominently white institution. I think my role as an RA will be a factor that encourages me to be as open and understanding as possible, because I want to be the reflection of an open minded person as an example to residents in the halls. The role I might play in helping residents understanding identity, is to put on certain programs that allow conversation of identity or concerns due to it - to happen as a conversation for the
I have always wanted to be a RA since my freshman year here at VCU. The idea of being able to organize programs is something I know I would love. Having a prior internship in a production center overseeing production workers has given me some experience with overseeing a large group of individuals which is similar to the supervision duties of an RA. Being a RA would also be a great opportunity to grow as a leader and help develop skills that can later be applied to my academics and
Even over a short period of time, living in The Towers has taught me a lot about myself and why I want to become an RA. At first becoming an RA meant creating more programs and getting more involved within our community. Seeing all of the new flyers every week and attending the events, led me to imagine some of ideas of programs I could create in the future that would interest the residents. But, after living in The Towers for a few months I realized I could serve a much bigger purpose as an RA.
As a residential staff member, the position will require a lot of dedication and time. There will also be situations where issues arise unexpectedly, and you need to make room in your schedule that you did not originally plan for. In order to be in this type of position, you have to be flexible and handle your commitments ahead of time so that you are ready for any unexpected circumstances. You also have to find ways to relieve the stress that may accumulate from being so busy. As a Peer Advisor for the Health Sciences Scholars Program, I have had practice with this type of position. There have been situations where my mentees or freshman approach me for a conversation that can turn into hour-long talks, or circumstances where I needed to
Possible long-term effects are things such as; depression, mood disorders, eating disorders, and behavioral issues. There could also be a grudge against the mother for “letting” it happen and the denial/mistrust. The effect it will have on personal development which is such an important aspect of being young and growing, abuse can greatly affect proper self-development, self-image, trust, relationships. Which goes along with the possible issues that can arise with intimacy later on in life. Lastly, trust and attachment issues in general. Attachment issues to individuals that are “helping” them and are “the good” people in the child’s life. Also, trust issues later on with the mother, trusting whether she will believe the child in later events/situations.
I see the role of the SRA as a team leader, encompassing a number of different duties and responsibilities. The SRA is certainly a leader to not only those on their staff and in their residential community but the entire campus. The role consists of duties such building community within their residence hall through hall programs and activities as well as encouraging tolerance and respect for the other residents and their property. I believe some other duties include being a familiar and trusted first resource for students within their residential hall with academic or institutional questions, and acting as a para-counsellor for students.
Due to the exclusiveness nature of suite style housing, it would be hard to bring the community together than that of other living style, I still think that RA can bring a positive chance. I believe that my extroverted personality and talkative nature will help get to know the individual suites.
Being of the racial minority or of the lower social status has negative influence on longevity and a persons’ overall health. This is due to the decrease in the amount of resources the individual has. The individuals will usually lack health care due to lack of knowledge or income, usually don’t reach their nutritional daily needs due to the same reasons. Some issues arise with an individuals’ working conditions. All of this has a negative impact on a persons’ overall health and longevity.
