Throughout five semesters of Leadership Byrnes, I have done quite a lot of community service. From volunteering at Ashlan Village, The Carpenter’s Table, Middle Tyger, Duncan Elementary, Reidville Elementary, and many others, I’ve learned a lot and I’ve seen a lot. The feeling you get after doing any type of community service is something you can explain, but you cannot truly understand how it makes you feel until you have done it. I believe the most meaningful community service that I have done…

A public space that I observed is Walmart. The lighting inside Walmart is very bright and florescence so that people can see what they are buying and are able to read all of the small labels that are placed on the containers. Walmart does not have any furniture because they want the people to be walking around looking at product and buying items. This is how they rely on making a profit. There is excellent organizational flow to the store. The way they have their product layout draws the…
My short-term goals are to first begin by completing the Associate Degree Nursing program at Mississippi Delta Community College. Once I pass my boards, the goal is to ultimately obtain my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. After completing school, I want to work in small rural areas around Mississippi that are in critical need of nurses due to shortages. As I became older, I realized that I wanted to stay in Mississippi so I can uplift and contribute to the place that I call my home. After…

It's 10:00 PM, and a woman is walking home alone. She has her keys clenched in her fist between her knuckles because she knows she always has to be on guard. "1 in 4 women," she thinks to herself, "it's only a matter of time." It's midday, a black man is driving to work when he sees flashing lights in his rearview mirror. He pulls over, keeping his hands where the officer can see them. "I don't want to be another hashtag," he thinks to himself, "I don't want to die." It's 2:00 in the afternoon,…
Having worked in the field of human services for over 20 years, I've encountered people having various barriers that are impact people’s lives due to developmental disability, mental illness and/or substance abuse. While many of the barriers presented are fairly concrete things to address, a significant one, and one that is a bit harder to manage is the lack of understanding and compassion regarding the experience of homelessness. Many of us take our daily activities for granted, like having…

Australian women nurses involvement began in war, 1898 with the formation of the Australian Nursing Service of New South Wales.
