Working At Home Analysis

While shadowing physician assistants, I volunteered at The Mustard Seed Medical Missions, a nonprofit organization that provides medical care to those with financial hardships. My first day there I got to meet the staff who made it all happen – the two women who worked the front desk who answered phones and organized patient files, the nurse who manually took blood pressure and did a review of why the patient was attending, the phlebotomist who took blood in even the smallest of veins to run labs, the translator

Andrew Lehning, Andrew Scharlach, and Teresa Dal Santo discuss in their article, A web based approach for helping communities become more “Aging friendly”, that there are three characteristics to creating an aging friendly community and having a sense of purpose and self-worth are key components in this concept. By integrating seniors with children, we as a community are providing a need that the seniors are fulfilling which is thought to prolong the life of most in this proposed theory (Lehning,

My profession affords me the opportunity to bring home $3,750 a month before taxes. The first two expenses that are deducted from my paycheck as soon as I receive my direct deposit is my mortgage ($600/homeowner’s insurance included) and my car note ($400), when combined amount to $1,000 a month.

My sociological experience at the Houston Food Bank, a formal organization ( a group designed for a special purpose and structured for maximum efficiency), I used my time to social network (social relationships that link a person directly to others, and through them and indirectly to more people). I wanted to see and know why these volunteers were here at the HFB. Their stories along were amazing; some were there

I attended the service activity of Kairos Cooke Bake for the 2PM-3PM shift on this past Saturday. This activity was chosen because I wasn’t doing something for myself. Helping others is a passion of mine and one of my goals in life is to help people, especially young women, to the right path in life. When it was explained in class to me that the cookies made in this event would go to prisoners, I immediately knew that this was the service activity for me.

Hours and hours of hard work: lifting boxes full of 10 pound turkeys, carrying bags full of Thanksgiving meal items, meeting amazing families, and over 200 people are given a free Thanksgiving meal. This one event, The Giving, and the many other civic service events I have been a part of help keeps people light-hearted, knowledgeable and caring, it keeps us within our senses knowing that others need things just as we do and that is one reason why service is of the utmost importance to me. In my MCJROTC program the team always enjoys the time and there are many times I am given the opportunity to meet community leaders with which I can coordinate future events with. Although giving service to the community benefits me spiritually, I am not the

Ive met all different types of people at specical events that CLA has hosted. At first i only attended these events in order to get service hours but soon i realized that theres a deeper meaning to serve.

I chose this exemplar because there are a lot of places to run. I believe that Washington, DC would be the best place to run. I say this because when you run in DC you are constantly motivated. You are motivated by all the building around that area and the people going to their big important jobs. In addition, the scenery is beautiful, it always clean and there is room for you to run everyday.

The elderly benefit from this experience in so many ways. Charlene Boyd states, “We wanted this to be a place where people come to live, not come to die. The elderly can come to this joyous and exciting place that is full of wonderful life. Most nursing homes or elderly centers are extremely depressing and have been drained of life. The founders of this place have realized that the elderly benefit from being around little children. Children don’t have anything to worry about and are overflowing with life. The children’s attitudes can change how the elderly feel. The elderly get to live the rest of their lives in a happy and positive environment.

Senior citizens are a key part of our community and function as the backbone to our society. To ensure that seniors have a meaningful contribution to the community we must develop quality relationships with them and also ensure that they have healthy and successful lives. Based on our experience at Taylor Yard Senior Housing Apartments we came to the conclusion that creating and maintaining relationships with elderly adults improves their health and well-being. In the article Building Living Alliances: Community Engagement and Community-Based Partnerships to Address the Health of Community Elders by Kim E. Radda and Jean J. Schensul they discuss how building and creating relationships or alliances not only with other members of your community

Based on my understanding of asset-based community development that impacts my experience on campus are my peers and professors of who I would talk to and in my Senior Care Center near my Jackson Heights neighborhood is my supervisor and the elderlies I would speak to them in a formal and respectful way that I will always respect their language barrier and thick accent. In addition, while I am volunteering at the Senior Care Center so far, I had showed self-sufficiency, hospitality and internal connections at the center by welcoming seniors to enter this amazing care center that they provide support and services by talking to other employees that they will try to help you economically and to talk to the supervisor if you need further information

In my strong opinion, this next semester, I really need to focus on my work. By this, I mean do my work more focused and so I remember more from it. For example, if someone would have looked at my grade, they would easily see that my SIRCATs are where my grade plummets the most. I still have not found a way to do well on them. But, after listening to my fellow classmates, I have realized that they simply remember the book as if it were a part of their body, after reading it only once. I realized that I comprehend main points of the story but not the little details that are also important. This could simply be because I was not used to working so hard in english 1 last year, and this year has really tested my abilities. I have actually

In his book, Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, John Maxwell says that you cannot connect with others if you are unwilling to get off your own agenda. This is so true if you want to build lasting relationships at your new retirement home. The environment may not be what you are used to. You may not even know anyone. However, with some insider tips, you can quickly start to make friends easily.

It was quite challenging for me at first to have conversations with elders. I learnt how to have good conversations with them as they like to talk about their family, their careers and their interests. They were also interested to know what myself which I found surprising. I collaborated with recreationists and I have learnt from them how to be a good team member. I have worked with a recreationist on decorating a spare room to be for music.

At the Camp Kerry Society boutique, I started as a volunteer in the back, processing and steaming clothing. One day, my supervisor asked me to help out with the front of the boutique to communicate with customers and raise awareness for the charity. This was an unfamiliar situation for me because I was accustomed to working in the back of the boutique, and I was not known to be a social person. In addition, I was immensely nervous because I had never been placed in a situation where I had been asked to engage and talk with so many people. Nevertheless, I took on the responsibility and pushed beyond my comfort zone, initiating conversations with people inside the boutique. I spoke with multiple customers and encouraged them to visit the society
