Lauren Brooksby is Resident Assistant for 2nd floor New Heritage building 29. Not only is she a beautiful person inside out but she is also a great RA- someone that us residents greatly respect and love. Last month Lauren with other RAs and hall advisors organized a spa night for the whole building. Understanding that the residents have to deal with so much stress from midterms, she organized the program so that girls can have a fun night with friends and take care of themselves. It took Laurent and her coworkers 3 weeks to plan and organize the event. Based on the facility and decoration, I can tell they had put so much effort into preparing for the night. I was not disappointed when going to the program. It was a true “spa night” with face masking, foot massage, healthy food and photo booth. It is a good opportunity for residents to liberate their mind from homework and relieve their stress. Lauren massaged our feet and chatted with us personally. Since she is a hilarious person, we always feel so good talking to her, listening to her interesting stories and funny jokes. Around 10 and 11pm when everyone was gone, she still stayed to clean up until everything was tidy, although as anyone else, she had so much …show more content…
Last month a girl I know was having a hard time. Lauren, without hesitation, told her to come over right away and carefully listened to her struggle as well as giving her priceless advice. She is such a good listener and a mature older sister. Not only did she listen to every single detail of the story, she also shared her opinion to the girl and told her about her personal heart-breaking story to deepen the bond. Moreover, she brought out ice cream and made brownies for the girl, because ice cream can compensate for negative emotions. Thanks to her cheerful but mature personality, it is absolutely easy to talk to her. She is a great, trustful friend who anyone can confide
Fortunately, there were not many other guests. Blanche took one room with the kids, and we slept in the other room in one single bed, almost like camping out. The next morning we woke and went to the lobby for breakfast. I looked at the menu and was aghast at the prices.
Finally I was capable of going alone and even being the leader of our group. As the leader, I answered the phone and gave the patient 's room number, name, and what was needed. It was a wonderful experience because I had a chance
Our short talk turned into an hour long discussion about which courses to take, if she needed to sign up for summer school, or if a fifth year was necessary. This conversation helped solidify our friendship. Now, I feel most comfortable sharing any problem with Stephanie during our strolls to Blenders. On the other hand, if I am meeting an acquaintance, Blenders is a great ice breaker and study break. While conducting interviews, I would invite our sorority pledges to Blenders.
I was pleased with how caring, resourceful, outspoken and helpful every individual was. One of the major reasons why I attended, “Dinner and Dialogue” was to get aware of what facilities were

She was 11 years old and was not deaf. She was very good in ASL. She taught me new signs such as major, yesterday, and a new way to sign Pensacola. I learned so much from Rebecca. Next, Kim and I met Brad and Dianna.
I really enjoyed every bit of the experience with the ladies and their beautiful children. The Hope House is the epitome of compassion and support for these women and has a wonderful program for addiction and substance abuse recovery. I felt as if the women within that community were like family and really were getting better and doing better for themselves and their children. Without the Hope House, they would not have as many opportunities or advantages. It felt really good to be apart of something that was bigger than myself and I will definitely be going back to volunteer there in the

They arrived a bit late and Shannon got right to it on asking each of us what our plans for that weekend, as well as for Halloween. Halloween was a new sign for me, and I was thankful to learn it, because of my next Deaf event where many people asked what I was doing for the holiday. Sense there was a good amount
I had a fun, busy, and learned a lot kind of day. Nurse Lily was very pleasant, informative, and she wanted to me to do hands on nursing care with the students. That day was Puberty educational day for the 5th graders. There were parents that we showed the Puberty video separate from the students. I was shocked to see that there were only seven parents that showed up and they were all female.
When I arrived, I received a badge to be able to get through the building since it’s a locked unit, which means that you must have badge access to be able to get into the operating rooms or any areas that aren’t patient rooms. When I walked in the nurses were doing their daily huddle. That when they talk about how many surgeries they will have that day, and if they are missing any nurses or doctors. I got to meet all the nurses from both the post and pre-operative side. I had previously worked with a few of the nurses before at
There are many times when I know that I would not have made it through a situation with my sanity intact without her advice and

Simone Van Iderstine was 16 years old when she became pregnant with her first child, Eve MacKinnon. Eve was an accident, she was not supposed to be a result of what happened that night at the party. The first person she told when she found out she was pregnant was Jessica MacBeth. Simone then had to face what she would find the most stressful out of the whole pregnancy; telling her mother, Tanya O’Connor Flynn. Tanya was not very happy with that news.
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.
