Student Case Study I have chosen an eleven-year-old Hispanic American female student for my case study. Anna is in my homeroom class and in the 6th grade. In the classroom, she has various seating arrangements due to her behavior issues; talking, touching, eating, not in her seat, etc. She sits at the front of the room and next to my desk.
The hispanic student from a low income wakes up at 6am and groans Trying to make a name for himself but held back by student loans Seems like every night he falls asleep as he wept Plunging deeper into the abyss of student debt Walking in a dark tunnel and at the end a light Such miracle he realizes his dreams in sight The dream to give his family, posterity, and himself a better future Held together so tight like a surgical suture Determination in his face trying to achieve his dream by any means But when it’s all sewed together it isn’t what it seems
The Hispanic Student Association, or HSA for short, was founded in 1999 by Nestor "Ito" Rodriguez the former president of HSA. Who is now currently the head of the Hispanic alumni council and married to Jaclyn Rodriguez. The organization is located on the main campus in the university center (UC) through the involvement zone in room 221. The purpose of HSA is to spread and demonstrate to other students the marvels of the Hispanic culture and to enrich their minds of the cultural diversity that is around them. To accomplish this HSA does many social events and gatherings, such as the St. Jude walk/run and Hispanic heritage month, which allows students of any background to come and enjoy the Hispanic culture in a safe and discrimination free
Hispanics, initial drawbacks frequently come from their parents ' immigrant and economic position and their sparse knowledge regarding the United States education system. While Hispanic students navigate through the school system, insufficient resources in schools and their awkward rapport with teachers continues to weaken their academic achievement. Initial drawbacks continue to mount up, causing the Hispanic population in having the least high school and college degree accomplishment, which is counterproductive of having a possibility for stable employment. According to Portman & Awe (2009) school counselors and comprehensive school counseling programs are anticipated to play a dynamic role in addressing the discrepancy between diverse
American Counseling Association (ACA) stated that ‘Counseling is a professional relationship that empowers individuals, families and groups to accomplish mental health, education and career goals.’ Most of the people will face a lot of encounters throughout their life which need some inspiration, advice, support or counseling.

Despite improvements, racial minorities and people that suffer disabilities often face more health care disparities that lead to health inequalities including forced sterilization and an increase in cervical cancer. For instance, the American Indian/Alaska Native population is a prominent minority community that faces health disparities. In the United States, there is currently 567 federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and 2.9 million individuals identify themselves as American Indian/Alaska Native natives alone (Dugi, 2017). These individuals continue to die faster than other Americans in many categories that can be attributed with the health disparities this population endures (Dugi, 2017).

One of my biggest supporters are my parents. Their support and conviction about the worth of acquiring an education has shaped my beliefs, values and ambition to continue higher education and use my career in a progressive way to give back to my community. Unfortunately, not everyone had the same support system like I did. Many of my peers struggled whether to continue their education or financially support their family. This is a very dangerous reality within the Latino community that needs to be addressed and resolved immediately.
While the critique of ideologies of American exceptionalism are necessary to reflexively decouple nationalist myth from empirical analysis, the inverse alternative of conceiving of the United States as ontologically racist is also problematic. First, such a conceptualization has difficulty accounting for changes and variations in racial inequality and racial identities. While racial inequality has been an enduring reality throughout U.S. history, which groups suffer from racialized inequality, and the forms such inequality take, vary across time and space in ways that the notion of a singular underlying structure has difficulty grasping. In particular, in the case City College, the racialized status of Jews varied over time. As will be shown
Females involved in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics otherwise known as STEM should be better understood due to the decrease of women in high demanding fields because of pretentious gender gaps. Stereotypes and misconceptions mislead the hard known truth to individuals and groups around society. One might stereotype due to assumptions leading them to categorize individuals in group membership. However, not all stereotypes and misconceptions are bad, they can be positive or negative. For example, in the article “About Men” written by Gretel Ehrlich she explains “The physical punishment that goes with cowboying is greatly under-played”(42).
In fall 2015, Hispanic students at Belmont started the Hispanic Student Association to bring awareness to campus. About 4.7% of Belmont students are Hispanic and they find many students are unaware of what Hispanic culture is and how difficult some Hispanic students believe it is to fit into Belmont’s culture. “I wanted to start the Hispanic Student Association because it was time that the Latino/a community on campus had a home and family to root themselves in,” said Alyssa Aloyo, president of the HSA. During her freshman year there was the Hispanic Student Alliance, but had died out because the members did not make it a priority she said. “It is my hope that we can create this presence on and off campus that shows that we want to educate ourselves and our peers on our culture, while also showing that we can
According to the CDC Hispanics of Mexican origin make up approximately 17 percent of the population in the United States. They are the one of the largest cultural populations in U.S. has risen dramatically over last four decades. There are a variety of reason that lead to health disparities for the Hispanic community these reasons then lead to the individuals not obtaining healthcare. First, it was reported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2012 that 29.1 percent of the Hispanic do not have health insurance. This usually prevents the majority of Hispanic people from receiving health care.
According to a Pew Research Center survey “among Hispanics ages 25 to 29, just 15% of Hispanics had a bachelor’s degree in 2013” (Krogstad). It is great to analyze the lack of Hispanics higher education in the United States and in the State of Kansas something that one cares about by using statistics and information about the racial gap in completion of a degree that explains the lower rates in Hispanics. Hispanics lower incomes contribute to the Hispanics lowest rates of a college degree completion in the State of Kansas. Lower Incomes The Central American immigrants’ low income contribute to the low rate of Hispanics college degree graduates in the State of Kansas.
The educational system in America contains numerous racial disparities that affects the very core of the children who is suppose to benefit from education. This disparity comes in many forms in primary schools, a teacher’s attitude being one of them (Epps, 1995). A teacher’s attitude in a classroom consisting of a racially diverse children is a large contributing factor to the academic success of their students, more specifically, the minority African American students. It is a given that all schools should employ qualified teacher who are passionate about their students and the quality of education they provide to these students. Unfortunately, that is not the case for many urban schools that house a large proportion of African American students
Studying the development of minority ethnic groups is vital if researchers want to understand how they may differ from the majority. Personal and environmental factors interact to either leave a positive or negative effect on adolescents of all ethnicities. However, ethnic minorities, such as Latinos, deal with certain stressors and risk factors more often the majority ethnic group. One particularly high risk factor is discrimination, which is very prevalent in minorities and can be highly stressful and leave lasting effects on those who experience it. This study focused on Latino adolescents, and wanted to find out whether social support provided in schools could offset discrimination.
Dawn, you said many things that resonated with me. I found it surprising and refreshing for you to write "I grew up in a racially diverse school from sixth grade on and I am more comfortable with a mix of people than with all European Americans; so that part of the equation works well for me.". Actually you are one of the first people I can recall who has said they grew up in a racially diverse school from sixth grade on and feel comfortable with a mix of people. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and most of the students I attended school with first grade to 12th grade were minorities. When I went to college, I saw a racially diverse group and that was my first experience with people of many racial groups.
