Decent Essays
2.1

Due to the fact that the agency is tight knit, I have felt very comfortable and will be able to have at least a little bit of experience in any area of work that I desire. It is very likely that I will get some experience with foster care, and possible even the refugee program. Thus far, the agency has had a positive impact on my field placement. I have been introduced to everyone working on the same floor I am at, as well as meeting the individuals from the foster care program. Everybody

Both, Herbert owned a grocery store a few blocks from their home (born in 1905; died in April of 1984). Clara was a stay at home mother (born in 1907; died in February of 1973).…

    I would be an asset in the program because I love interacting with people and learning new ways to improve their lives. I quickly discovered my passion for children and this field through the past two years of work experience at the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home (LBCH). I am fortunate enough to be the recreation leader, lifeguard, and math tutor of a diverse group of kids with heart-wrenching upbringings, circumstances, and for some, communication setbacks.

The knowledge I am obtaining at ULM, the child-interaction skills I am gaining through the LBCH, and the God-given love and compassion for people all contribute and work simultaneously towards thriving…

Another example in the scenario was when the mother was holding the child during x-rays this enabled the mother to participate with the child’s care, empowering her.…
