Short Term and Long Term goals Short term and long term goals are goals that are set by an individual to help him/herself achieve success in life. Setting goals can be difficult and most of the time are different for everyone. The goals a person makes are often based on their background, capabilities and character. Two characteristics that I believe are essential in setting admirable goals are integrity and determination. Before I list my short term and long term goals, I would like…

This means that in order to understand the family one has to examine the whole family to understand its dynamics. When applying wholeness to my practicum cite, at Lumberton School, it can be applied when we are working with individual students. Students with identified concerns are often brought in to be evaluated. When interviewing the students, after we have…

list, is the athletic director and head women’s basketball coach at Eureka College, and his name is Steve. Steve came to Eureka during the middle of my junior year. Through my athletic training/kinesiology courses, as well as my athletic training practicums, I was able to talk to Steve and slowly build a work relationship with him.

Thus far, I have learned many important aspects of becoming an effective therapist. One of the major parts of training involves evaluation and feedback from supervisors or peers. I think evaluations are an important part of training because it provides feedback to areas, which you are doing well in, and areas in which you will need improvement. I believe that without evaluations, we as therapist cannot grow into effective therapist. To date I cannot think of any job or career that does not use…

Nurses are the backbones of any clinic or hospital sites. They provide health care in the best of their ability to help their patients but also be there for them as a person.

Nurses are just as important as any physician, just because they didn't earn a PhD, nurses are still just as helpful as any doctor in the medical field. I will want to…

Welding can be very fun and empowering. Watching the sparks fly from the metals, and seeing the world’s strongest metals be made into what a welder wants for it to become.
