PERFORMANCE TASK: Narrative
I’m sitting in my office in my pajamas as I get a phone call on my cell phone. I had just gotten a new one so the contact didn’t pop up. Who might this be? I think to myself. I click on the answer button. I began to speak, “Hello it’s Bryland. Who is this?” “This is the school. Bailey passed out during class, we need you down here immediately!” The lady says sounding very freaked out. “I’ll be there as soon as possible!”
I pulled my long black hair out of a bun while running up the stairs. What happened?? Why did she pass out?!?! I think to myself. Almost tripping on the last step i finally got to the top of the stairs. I ran into my room grabbing pants and a t-shirt.
After getting dressed i ran back down the stairs and grabbed my purse. I jumped into the car hoping that it would start because we had been having some car problems. It started and I pulled out of the driveway. Racing down the road I finally made it to Bailey’s school. I jumped out of the car. When I made it to the office they told me to go to the

“Are you sure? She’s only sixteen, don’t they-” The lady cuts me off, “Listen, lady, I just go where they send me.” The man tells me why Bailey has to stay in the old people wing. I was furious. After they kicked me out I went to the neighbors house and picked up Andrew. I didn’t want too much on my mind so I had Andrew stay the night at his friend's house. When I got home it was about 9:00pm so I went to my room and went straight to bed. My german shepard husky and I all curled up in my bed. BEEP BEEP BEEP!!! I jumped right out of my bed and got my clothes on. I ran down the stairs and made myself some coffee. It was 7am, very early for me. I rushed myself out the house and to the car.I tried to start the car and it shut itself off. I kept trying but it still wouldn’t work. After trying for a while to start that car I decided I would borrow my neighbor's

    I have worked with many families in the past, and I believe I have applied some of the humility, compassion and positivity that the textbook talks about. I believe that the knowledge that is gained through textbooks and by attending classes is important as well as the skills that are gained through practice when working with families. In my personal experience, I come from a very poor family, which allows me to be humble with those families who are in need. I have experienced the separation of parents, the absence of basic needs, like clothing or food, and I have also experienced the anxiety of being undocumented. I think that as I gain the knowledge and skills, I will be able to integrate it with my personal experiences and I will be able…

    In the Human Services field I am very passionate about working with people in the deaf culture. I am passionate about working with this population because I know American Sign Language and I feel a connection to the community. Learning ASL took a long time and allowed me to be engaged in many events in the deaf community. I believe people in this population are not given nearly as much attention or opportunities as they should be. The lack of equal access to education, jobs, and basic interactions that hearing people take for granted is not fair and puts this population at a disadvantage therefore making it important for people to want to work with this group of people.…
