“It is my belief that all young people have the ability to achieve at high levels, and it is our responsibility to ensure that they do… This includes having high expectations for students to succeed academically, socially, in their college and career pursuits, and in life” –Antwan Wilson Superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District Community To Be Served For every seven students that earn a diploma from the Oakland Unified School District, three of their peers will never make it to graduation day. In a school district that educates more than 37,000 students, a graduation rate of 67% means that more than 12,000 will drop out before graduating from high school.

One of my tasks while volunteering for YMCA California was making decisions on the layout and type of activities available during camp, thereby helping ensure that everything ran smoothly. As well as making sure health and safety regulations were kept in line and other factors were addressed. To make this decision I reviewed the range of options available in terms of budget, existing activities, what other YMCA workers were trained to do in terms of specialist activities. I also gathered information from the YMCA Youth members and other sources to see what is currently in the public’s interest. I considered and developed a provisional layout and itinerary and then review any decisions made.
I served my two years in what was called the Great California Ventura Mission. What an experience it was for me to labor and work in such a beautiful part of our country. The weather on average year round was about typically 75 degrees Fahrenheit. This is due to the ocean breeze that cools the desert landscape to become a paradise.

Harry Edwards, known as « The Great Healer », was born in 1893 in London. Originally, he did not pursue a career in healing. When he was a young man, he did a printing apprenticeship and in 1914, he enlisted to serve during the First World War, and then in Iran (which was called Persia at the time). It was during his service that he first began healing. Many injured and ill locals came to him, despite the fact that he had very minimal training or resources.

TODDLER Toddler Social - Emotional Development What is the one most important skill that is needed for us to socialize with each other effectively? Is it the need to have language or is it being able to understand other’s as well as one’s own emotions? While physical development as well as language development (which we will look at in the next segment when we talk about cognitive development of a toddler) is important, it is also important for a child to not only learn how to interact with others and understand their emotions but also to control one’s own emotions. This will largely determine how many positive and rewarding relationships the toddler would be able to maintain growing up.

The America justice system is necessary to assure the needs and rights of Americans is protected. The system is created to promise equality for all and recognize no life greater than another. However, in some aspects of the criminal justice system fall short of its initial objectives. Such as the injustice of placing children in a correction facility to be rehabilitated.

California is the “beauty of the eye of the beholder” since all people who come from different background, race, and religion are able to set their own dreams without being criticized. People especially immigrants have viewed California as the “land of opportunity,” which influenced them to leave everything behind in their hometown, to sacrifice their time and to focus on their dreams. Despite the fact that California was lauded as a utopian society, people soon found out that they were going through endeavors and couldn’t overcome them quickly as possible. In fact, Mr. Rawls wanted to express the grievances, struggles, and success that people endure in their rise to the California dream in his short essay, “California: A Place, A People,
If I could say one thing to the youth, it would be this: Never Give Up. Keep trying and pushing and struggling, even if you don’t know what your goal is or why you would want to achieve it. Make a point to succeed when a person says you are not capable of doing so because when you succeed you are proving not only to them that you can but to yourself. Respect the person who is doubting you because that will let them know that you are not effected by what they are saying. People will recognize you as someone who won’t give up, and they will get out of your way.
