I have known Enerest Cooper for six years now and have interacted with him extensively in his capacity as an instructor in Law Enforcement and a coach on the football team. During law enforcement class, I have come to know Mr. Cooper very well, and therefore can comment on some aspects of his coaching and teaching. Mr. Cooper was being an amazing teacher and coach at Military Magnet Academy. Enerest Cooper is a kind, caring, hard-working and creative teacher, and it has been a horror working with him. For example, Coach Cooper established a want and desire in each person that he came in contact with on the football field and in the classroom.
My first day here at Job Corps seemed very long. When I first arrived in the front I had to sit in a little room close to the front office I had to sit there with a couple of other kids. After sitting there for a while security came and took all of our bags to the security room to check for anything we couldn’t have. After that, we had to follow some staff who took us to get our uniform which took a minute because everyone took turns to use the bathroom to change. They gave us 3 pairs of polo shirts and 3 pair of regular school slacks.
I interviewed my neighbor SFC Vaca for my veterans essay. SFC Vaca join the Army in 1988. He was only eighteen years old and straight out of high school. He did his basic training at Fort Dix in New Jersey. After completing his basic training he headed off to AIT, in Ft Eustis, Virginia.
I chose to come to Job Corps was because I felt like there was nothing constructive for me to do in life. I felt as if I was just sitting around doing nothing all day long. After I completed my sophomore year in high school, I went job hunting that summer. I filled out multiple applications and every last job I applied for and attended an interview with never return my calls. I realized that without a high school diploma or trade related skills, my future would be dark.
Working in partnership with others is a fundamental aspect of my role as a healthcare assistant. Collaboration and teamwork are crucial in providing holistic and high-quality care to individuals. By fostering strong partnerships with patients, their families, and the wider healthcare team, I aim to create a supportive and coordinated approach to healthcare delivery. Firstly, I recognize the importance of building a collaborative relationship with patients and their families.
For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there. I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm.
The first thing I would do is confront her about it. Though I hate confrontation, the worst thing I could do in this situation is avoid addressing our differences; I cannot just assume that she knows that I have an issue with her different habits. Being the practical person I am, I would have us settle on an agreement. If she were to break this agreement, I would visit my residential advisor for assistance. If it were to happen again, I would, again, reach out to my residential advisor and request a roommate
I have amassed 1200 hours of patient care experience at my first CNA job at The Elms of Cranbury. My experience at the nursing home was challenging but rewarding at the same time.. My duties there included bathing, feeding, washing, transporting, dressing, toileting, changing and dressing patients. I also had to record the amount of food they ate, how much they voided and the size and consistency of their bowel movements. I had to report any abnormalities, complaints, or medical requests to the nurse.
My hour of code was fun! I played the Christmas tree game, the snowflake game and the “make your own yeti” game. A lot of people in my class needed help with some of the games, but I thought most of them were easy. Last year I remember I did not know what to do… but this year was different. I hope we do hour of code next year too!
In this role I have been able to practice a variety of aspects related to patient health. Much of my practice is related to occupational injuries and recovery. I also offer acute care, minimal chronic med management, a lot of health education, health/wellness/preventative issues and on occasion
At all of these clinics and hospitals I have learned a variety of techniques, while completing the fundamentals of cleaning, organizing work area, securing patients with therapy equipment and motivating patients. Having to work under different physical therapists has shown me how to assist licensed physical therapists efficiently from their long hours of hard work. These educational experiences have taught me to go above and beyond my dreams and to expand my
Social work is a profession that dedicates its efforts to ensure the well-being of individuals and the well-being of the society as a whole. The primary mission of social workers is to meet the fundamental needs of every person, especially the ones with special needs such as those who are oppressed, vulnerable and the people living in poverty. As a social worker, I intend to use these core values such as service, integrity, and dignity as guidelines to my work to make a difference in the lives of as many needy people as I can. My main goal will be to offer services to needy people to help them solve and overcome social problems that they encounter each day in their lives.
1.Describe, in your own words, how occupational therapy helps people. Occupational therapy allows a patient to work towards the goal of being able to perform basic everyday functional tasks. Therapy will differ for each patient, providing purposeful tasks that will allow the most growth for the specific individual needs. Being able to be an independent individual that can perform functional tasks is something that most people strive for, and if something happened that altered this way of life, it can be very stressful and even feel dehumanizing to the patient. Striving for independence and working with the therapists is something that will positively affect the patient's quality of life.
I always hated helping other people because I never thought it would help me go farther than where I was. Although later in life I learned how to help others and that if you help others it does come back just in a different way. I have learned the joy of helping others so and that if I was in the same situation somebody would help me. Also after they help me I hope I can go help somebody else. That is what I think about that topic so I will go to the next.
