I am currently in The Hispanic Business Student Association. This organization has opened many opportunities as a college student. HBSA has provided me with some of the best mentors that have gone beyond to prepare me for my future endeavors.

It has allowed me to network with many Fortune 500 companies, as well as go on company field trips to get a personal experience with different companies. In additional to the professional aspect of HBSA, HBSA has given me a home away from home. I have made more that just great friends, but a family that I know will always be there for me.

They put us on the spot to solve a real world business problem. They brought multiple people from their company though who advised us on how to approach the situation. It was so an incredible experience that I enjoyed. I never considered consulting, but after this event, I wanted to do more. During their presentation, they mentioned their case competition in which they were partnering with Habitat For Humanity to solve a real life problem for them. I felt this would be an incredible experience for me to gain more of an insight in their company and in consulting. I decided to go through with it, and that was one of the best decisions I made.

Meaning, we received our problem in the morning, and only had a few hours to come up with a viable solution. In usual case competitions, you have a week to prepare. Also, we did not know our group members before that day. In most case competitions, we are able to pick who is in our group, so it was an intriguing experience working with strangers to solve a real world

The Hispanic community encounters various barriers to treatment that lead them to not seek, drop out, or have less effective outcomes than other social groups when receiving treatment for substance use. Therefore, the access of treatment for Hispanic immigrants, documented or undocumented must improve. This section of the paper will introduce some ideas that research provides on how to improve access of treatment for the Hispanic community. One aspect that needs to improve is to increase the body of research about this population. Research addressing various types of interventions that are effective with the Hispanic population can be beneficial to develop a more effective treatment approach for substance use disorder in the Hispanic community (Alvarez et al. 2007; Amaro et al., 2006).

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund is a student group on campus that aimed to provide support and resources to Hispanic students at Columbia and Barnard. I was responsible for keeping minutes at meetings, sending out weekly newsletters, and planning events. I joined this group because I wanted to be more involved in the Hispanic community on campus and wished to be in a position to benefit this community as well. I attended weekly Saturday meetings and helped in the planning of at least 1 event every month. I left the group due to personal problems that forced me to focus more on my mental health and school.

During my two interviews my with my two people of the Hispanic culture I came to find they were both had a good level of health literacy from a quick glance. It’s interesting I came to this conclusion fast after asking them each their questions, because I barely know these two on a personal level. Raul I met last year at comicpalooza, where we bonded over love over television and movies and came in contact since, mostly having conversations about show/movies; but never had conversations on anything like this level. Francis I met over swim class this fall at UH recreation center, so I came to the conclusion to pick two people I didn’t really know to ask these questions for this paper.
