Teachers and social workers have two different lens in which they see a situation. If I was the practitioner instead of the client I would have seen red flags before the client would have approached me. First is that I would have inquired as into why the student barely showed up to classes. If I was the practitioner, I would have created opportunities for the client and I to meet individually and acknowledge that I am there as a support. Social workers…

1. A curandera, “is a healer in the tradition of native New Mexican healers” (pg.x). Curanderas use ancient methods learned by the Native Americans in order to heal people and help them. One of the main characters in the story “Bless me Ultima” acts as a curandera; her name is Ultima. Ultimas role in the pueblo communities of New Mexico was to basically be the doctor that the people didn 't have. Curanderas made people teas, cured broken bones, mixed medicines, and healed illnesses, but…

classroom and building. All around me, kids hurridly packed up their backpacks and scurried out the door. Everyone wanted to get out of this dull school as fast as they possibly could. I took my time. The white classrooms and halls of school existed as my only relief place; it was the only place I could relax. At home, real stress weighed down on me. “You’re really in a hurry.” I glanced up from my assignment book to see my Algebra teacher, Mrs. Read, smiling at me. “I don’t have anywhere…

What really makes us happy? Many people believe it is wealth, family, and fame. Do those factors really affect happiness? Studies have shown that excessive wealth (over $75,000) has no additional effect on happiness, and along with fame may, in fact, decrease it. What really does make us happy? I have been happy when doing volunteer work, spending time with friends, and while working on an interesting project. The definition of happiness that I get from examining those experiences is this:…

they were my adoptive parents. They took me in when I had no one. I never had a great relationship with my actual parents. I had come out as transgender when I was 20 and ever since things had gone downhill. These two individuals not only listened but they let me stay for a month or two when I first got to the state. When I visited I had felt like I was at home. They took me to Manitou Springs, I met people that understood my circumstances and welcomed me. Being, a transgender man I never really…

myself I would say, “Mom I’m confused, and scared and isolated. I’m sorry for all the trouble I have caused, and I’m trying to do better. Be patient with me and know that I love you.” So the parents should know that they should be considerate to treat there child as a blessing and not as a burden. When my Mom was going through a rough patch dealing with me, she found a website on the Internet that was created by two young men who had Asperger’s syndrome. The website is called Asperger’s Experts.…

Fresno, United States on August 12th, 2012 after 20 hours flight all the war from China, feeling sore and ache all over. When I came out from the terminal, the bright sunlight made me squint, the fresh air made me feel relaxed, I told myself “It is a new start!” Some Chinese students picked me up in the airport and drove me to atrium to check in. I felt my lips adhered and I couldn 't get them apart. I was so nervous that I cannot talk to resident assistants. I just nodded my head, signed…

the influences of others. I will be examining the assessment of impact to be able to convey the goals that I want to achieve and state world issues that could potentially affect my passion in some way. Examining the assessment of knowledge encourages me to research and provide the knowledge and skills that I will need in order to make an impact with my passion. Finally, in the assessment of reflection, I will look to make reflections on the Whole Life Concepts Project and describe my commitment…

an office, I could possibly fill an office manager’s role. At an insurance company, I may work with patients claims. However, I could also end up being a glorified secretary. I’m not very good at making coffee, so this option would be a problem for me. Working with patients on a daily basis is always a…

On the 17th October 2015 we went to watch the performance adaptation of Anita and me at the Birmingham REP by Meera Syal and adapted by Tanika Gupta. The performance starred Mandeep Dhillon as Meena and Jalleh Alizadeh as Anita. The play is a touching example of a beautiful coming of age story and follows the tale of a British-Punjabi girl growing up in the Black Country during the 1970s it explores Meena’s struggle to fit into local culture. She soon develop friendships with both Anita and Sam…
