Prompt A I am finishing my Cell and Molecular Biology degree and hopefully will work in the health field where I can help to bring about a change in the health delirvy to people who are not as economically well off as alot of the general population. I think the Dream Summer will give me another persepective of the social and legal needs that legal and illegal immigrants are facing on a daily bases. I think the two areas are intertwined because socail and economical needs are influenced by a peoples' health climate/circomstance and vice versa. My professional and leadership should be an outcome of my involvement with the Dream Summer and should defenitely influence how I view and work in the field of public health. There is a big need and Dream …show more content…

What I means is helping to dissolve peoples' inability to have a voice in maters that are crucial for their survival. Many times we see people who are marignalized and stripped of their basic rights. It is not something that takes place in an instance or over night but rather there is a process that entails waiding through a persons prespective of who they are and where they are and even why there are where they are if that makes sense. More specifially, I have had to work with a few fellow students who were not sure that they wanted to/ could stay in school because of the social pressures and family responsibilities. In one instance, one friend was brought to the U.S. illegally by his brother and then inturn after a year or two was left to fend on his own while he was in high school. It took not only me but some family assistance to get him stable in a living situation that he was able to get his high school diploma and to apply for DACA which unfortunitely he was denied. He still was able to go on to support himself.

    I would consider myself moderately anxious about public speaking. I remember the first few communication apprehensions I experienced in my personal and work life.

In both situations, my heart pounded loudly right before I spoke and when the words came out of my mouth, I felt like I had to speak quickly like Speedy Gonzalez!…

    One of the most important social movements in the United States includes the DREAMERs; young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States who have regenerate the immigration reform debate. For years, these DREAMERs have been forcing the Congress to pass the DREAM Act (acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), which especially would allow these young undocumented immigrants the legal right to stay in the United States. The DREAM Act benefits to both the U.S. and immigrant populations. Reducing the significance of the U.S. immigration policies, this will increase the inflow of illegal immigrants.

    Beginning this class, I was not sure what to expect because I did not really know what community health was. I signed up for the class to fulfill the requirement for my minor. Throughout this class, I have learned so much about the aspects of the community health, agencies, drug abuse, health rates, and disease types and control. These were all topics that were greatly interesting to me and I feel like the class improved my understanding of the way in which many communities operate. It also taught me the correct meaning of many terms that I thought I knew what they meant, but I had heard them used incorrectly so often that I associated the wrong meaning with the word.…
