From the scale of 1-10, my internship is about 4. As a nonprofit organization, Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center waste a lot of money for breakfast and lunch for mappers. For example, from Monday to Friday, we have about 30 meals for breakfast and lunch, which at the end of the day being thrown away. Our supervisor tells us to throw the food away every afternoon. In Harlem, many people suffer from hunger and the Mount Sinai throws around 30-40 meals every day. As a result, I question myself, do I really want to work for this organization? Field and site coordinators emphasize health consequences of junk food and raise awareness of health risks produced by consumption of junk foods. However, nonprofit organization Mount Sinai orders unhealthy food, such as pizza, cheese sandwiches, Chinese food, sugary drinks, etc. Adolescents who eat too much sugar, fat and processed food and too few vitamins are more likely to develop chronic health problems over time. These might include obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Does this nonprofit organization want to help at-risk populations? In addition, several employees who work as Health Educators and responsible for creating and implementing health education programs do not have …show more content…
I found very challenging to communicate in a culturally appropriate way with the young mappers due to differences in age, ethnicity, and education. For example, on August 3rd my supervisor and I had an issue with one of the mappers. A young girl who is from a dysfunctional family verbally abused me and my supervisor. Due to the fact that the young mapper is only 18 years old and was not able to manage her feelings properly, I told her that I will not argue with her and let my supervisor handle the situation. However, due to repetitive verbal and then physically abused one of our securities, the young mapper was expelled from the Mount
Walking into Walnut Hills High School right now would have anyone thinking the just walked into the middle of a tornado. Everyone you look there are students running in and out of doors, in and out of cars, and most certainly either turning in missing assignments or retaking tests. There is only one way for you to explain all this ciaos, Senior Year, the year that all teens await with so much excitement and ambition and the year that every single hour long study dates pays off. For the class of 2021 this isn’t just their final year at Walnut Hills this is the year that friends separate and head off to their different university to follow their dreams.
Administrative Waste in U.S. Healthcare Regardless of technological advancement, life-saving skills and abilities and first-world resources, the outlandish cost of healthcare in the United States far surpasses any other country in the world. From price gouging, to double billing, to overbilling, to inefficient and expensive operations, the United States wastes $750 billion every year through our healthcare system. According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), $200 billion of that astronomical number is due to nothing more than administrative waste.
For the duration of this clinical experiences my intentions are to gain experience in leadership and develop those skills by establishing a partnership with R.K. She is currently teaching a leadership development course which I would like to develop a partnership with her and complete a community project.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, “Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years,” meaning that America’s children need to start eating healthier, including healthier school lunches. The National School Lunch Act is a fairly recent addition to American society. For, as the world waged war a second time, the United States began to worry about the strength and health of the country’s soldiers. However, in the beginning, selling excess agricultural goods was more important than building a healthy, well-balanced meal for students. Unfortunately, many children coming from poorer families could not afford well-balanced school lunches, so in order to compensate, the School Lunch Program changed its focus to help these students. This program, however, decreased schools’ lunch budgets, and schools had a hard time keeping up with the amount of free meals they had to provide, so they came up with some extra ways to increase revenue. However, in a small town in Massachusetts, one chef makes a difference in the health of the school lunch students eat each day, and proves that hiring a trained chef to cook real, healthy meals can increase profit. Unfortunately, that is not the case in most schools across the nation. The quality of health of the food being served in school lunches is extremely poor and was allowed to decline even more with a new set of rule changes. However, there are some improvements currently being made to increase the quality of health of the food being served to students, including teaching them all about food and its nutritional information, both good and bad. In order for students to eat healthier lunches at school, the USDA needs to implement healthier ...
Having only been a nurse for about 3 months, the only technological advancement I have experienced was as a student nurse. In some clinical sites paper charts for documentation were being used and in others Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR).
Even though this increasing awareness of the multicultural issues, many supervisors are not being trained how to deal with this issues in the daily practice. As a school administrator it is important to be a motivator for the teachers that are under your supervision, it is necessary to stimulate enthusiasm in all the staff (McNair, 2011). In order to cultivate passion for a change, even when people has the tendencies of not wanting changes (Glickman, et al., 2014). As humans changes are seeing as other’s plans, sometimes feel that they being imposed to someone else’s plans, when communication it is not establish it is perceived as imposition, something that it is imposed on them, feeling threat if they do not realized what they being told. People perceived different when they feel that they are in control and the supervisor is there to collaborate...
In my work with the veterans and the VA, I have served as a counselor, educator, case manager, advocate, facilitator, and organizer. I have worked with veterans and on their behalf to ensure their needs are always at the forefront of my daily work (as much as I am allowed in my role as an intern).
This is the miscellaneous section of my autobiography. I’m going to write about my time at GCA. My experiences at this school were pretty good in my opinion. During 7th and 8th grade at certain times in mostly math the other people in my class would complain about us not learning the stuff that we get worksheets and tests even though they would be loud and disruptive the entire time. At some points this and last year we made our math teacher mad to the point where they threw markers at the floor. I will agree about last year because most of the time the class was loud enough to sort of mask out our teacher and he wouldn’t do much about it and instead just click his radio and put it on that person’s desk as a threat to send them up to the office. He would only sometimes end up sending people up for talking and being disruptive.
During my meeting with Ashley Christ I can appreciate more what Resident Life does and what they expect out of their Resident Assistants. First, I focused the first part of my interview on the Coordinators and what they do. Now, I asked about what a “typical day” for a coordinator would look like. In reality, each day is different but there were components that occurred on a regular basis. First Ashley suggested that she started her day with her office hours. Then she talked about how she usually goes on OrgSync to see what her resident assistants submitted, because they frequently have work that needs to be viewed. She then talked about how coordinators have great deal of meetings between the bi-weekly meetings that they attend, the professional staff meetings, meetings with other departments, conduct meetings, and maybe more. She put some emphasize on the professional staff meeting (mainly because that will be the part where the resident assistants play), in which, she described that typically these meetings they talk about what is happening is Resident Life and what that means
I am doing my externship at Abeltin & Migoya LLP. Currently, I am assisting the supervising attorneys with drafting and responding to discovery. The first goal I would like to accomplish during the externship is to develop client interviewing skills. The second goal is to develop and learn good lawyering skills. The third goal is to build more confidence in asking questions and approaching new projects. I discussed all three these goals with my supervising attorney on the first day of my externship.
Before the internship, I thought judges were of course humans, but I was hoping they were nice. I thought it was going to be a bit intimidating, but I knew I looked up and aspired their profession. It was like the day I was going to meet my judge I was so nervous, yet I looked forward to it. I remember I was surprised different Judges would run their courtrooms differently. I thought they would kind of have a similar system for things, which they sort of do, but not completely. Generally speaking, the Judges are great individuals and are very unique. Most of the Judges have lived pretty interesting lives and seem to enjoy their jobs. The Judges seem to be very knowledgeable, and very considerate of the Jury, court reporters, and their clerks. The judges of course seem neutral when in front of the jury as expected. For example, Judge Lippitt, does not allow anytime to speak over each other in her court room she is always saying that they have to be respectful there is a human being recording this, referring to the court reporter. Then, she is very considerate of the Jury and their time, she will tell them the trial is longer at times to make them happy if it ends early. Further, Judge Lippitt really cares about the jury instructions and that they are as neutral as possible. Something I have learned from Judge Lippitt, is that you have to be very careful as a judge to notice when attorney’s are acting a little suspicious. Another very significant lesson I have learned from Judge Lippitt is that preparedness and awareness is really important.
Today's date March 3rd, 2017, is a date that I will never forget because today was my first day in clinical. I wasn't nervous when I walked through the doors of the hospital. As a first year nursing student, I thought I knew enough to survive the first day and if I didn't know something my partner can help me out. Nevertheless, the first day of clinical started with me walking around the floor with a cup of urine, trying to figure out how to dispose of the urine. I was so embarrassed when the instructor saw me and said: "what are you doing?". She explained to me that I have to measure the amount of urine first and then flush it down the toilet. However, I somehow managed to mess this simple task also. I started to walk around the floor and
As a 17-year-old female, life surrounded by superior men brings challenges. At first I felt discouraged, thinking that no one in the world likes or appreciates women. Watching the news one day, I saw braless ladies and men with bras on marching down the streets. The mobs of people chanting, shouting, and expressing their love for women inspired me to take action in my life. The encouragement and self-love I felt inspired me to never let men surpass me again.
“It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times.” This is a quote I heard long ago before I had started my four year journey here at Northview. Though I had no idea how accurate and meaningful this quote would be to me back then, it always stood out to me as a something short, sweet, and to the point that sums up what high school is; let me explain. Flashback to when I was 14 and just finished junior high school at Arbor Hills. It was a great three years and I actually learned a lot about people and myself, but I was not prepared for high school courses and the faster more demanding pace of the curriculum. I was very excited however, and became very interested in newer topics and different hobbies. It felt great to be moving on from a stage in life and it felt good to accomplish this, just as it feels now to be moving on from high school.
The thought of being 16 and pregnancy has always weighted down on me growing up. I was scared of my family history trying my best not to repeat the life of my mother. In 2001 I was so happy I made it. I accomplish what no one in my family was able to accomplish. I finished high school and even enrolled in college. By this point I had already set a goal for myself. Right before the fall semester was starting my plan was put on hold due to my family, leaving our land to move to the city. This was a tremendous change for someone that lived on 10 acres of land and the nearest neighbor was miles away. By the end of the year I was pregnant with my first child. I remember feeling like my life was over. Like I am fresh
