    My experience as the lead Spanish-English interpreter at the UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic provided me with the opportunity of being practicing my leadership skills in team working toward a common objective.

    Nicole Talley R.N., the driving force behind Open Hands Health Center, firmly believes that, “God puts circumstances in all of our lives and expects us to use them to glorify Him and to serve others.” So, in 2010 when God placed a burden on her heart to open a free, Christ-centered clinic for the lower-income, uninsured of Okeechobee County, she was ready. Nicole was born with two holes in her heart and suffered from congestive heart failure before she was a year old. Because her family had no health insurance, Nicole would not have been able to have the life-saving heart surgery that she needed were it not for the efforts of a non-profit group who stepped in to cover all the expenses and heart surgeon, Dr. Denton Cooley, who waived all of his fees. Later in life, Nicole watched as her father, who was on Medicare after being placed on disability due to a back injury, experienced several heart attacks and underwent multiple surgeries.…

    Differences between healthcare and social care in the welfare state Health and social services in the United Kingdom, as in many other countries worldwide, provide a vast range of services for individuals that require continuing or ongoing health or personal care needs. However, there is a clear and distinct difference between the two, and this is in relation to government funding. NHS or the National Health Service is a government funded service and thus a patient that requires continuing health care will receive these services completely free of charge. Social care on the other hand is currently a means-tested service, and therefore an individual requiring social care may find that they have to pay partially or in full for these services. (British Geriatrics Society, 2004)…

    However, this raises a question, as many of the previous studies indicated that correction was disadvantageous; Truscott and Magilow (1999) both stated that error correction harmed, rather than helped students in their learning. Truscott, in his original paper, dedicated an entire section to the harm error correction caused. He was particularly vocal that it caused stress and anxiety, and demotivated students. He found that corrected students (in writing) wrote no better than uncorrected students. Instead, those corrected wrote shorter sentences and simplified them so as to avoid correction.…
