...Dear Mr. Williams, My name is. I recently applied to Your University eager to jumpstart my learning experience in a Christian atmosphere. On October 18, 2010 I learned that I had been rejected due to my low grade point average with the previous University I attend earlier this year. I also learned that I could write a letter of explanation of why my grade point average was low. On March 13, 2010 my mother was rushed to the hospital. After a series of tests, it was determined that she was having multiple stokes. After she was stable, she was transferred to the Neurological Intensive care Unit, where she was closely monitored. Still in the ICU, she had an allergic reaction to the medicines used to treat the strokes, the medicines increased her heart rate to 228 beats per minute and subsequently she coded. Within 5 minutes of being revived her heart rate was 242 beats per minute and once again she coded. After the team of doctors and nurses revived her for the second time, the Cardiologist came to me and stated, " I'm sorry, we've done all we can do." The doctor informed me she had 6-8 hours to live. I immediately began to crumble. My mother is my best friend, the thought of losing her would be devastating. When I came back to reality it felt as if the weight of the world was on my shoulders. Funeral arrangements needed to be made, school work needed to be done, my 14 year old brother needed to get to school, I needed to work, my husband of 3...

...The Honorable Margaret Gayle California Superior Court South West,Courthouse CA 903625 Re: Case no. NSFWFTW-69 Dear Judge Gayle, My name is James Lee Roman. I was charged for driving under the influence of alcohol on April 14, 2011. The DUI offense stems from my unfortunate decision to drive myself home after a birthday party. With my senses impaired, I eventually misjudged a turn and hit a tree straight-on. The incident caused my left leg to be fractured in several places, shards of glass also pierced my face. My injuries are extensive and the hours of physical therapy still come in very long, painful strides, but the lesson I learned here was invaluable. I truly realized that I was very fortunate that I did not injure anyone else, to have caused the same kind of damaged and pain on someone or even horribly death. I learned all of these things the hard way, the weeks I spent at the hospital and seeing my mother in tears of which such heartbreak cannot be undone. But I stand to correct myself and my ways. I would like to submit myself to an alcohol treatment program as soon as possible or on any rehabilitative program the court deems proper. I would like to plead for leniency your honor, please allow me the opportunity to turn my life around, I believe the possibility of imprisonment is a huge factor for change alone. Still, I would like to be responsible for my actions and accept the consequences of my offense. Inside me, I believe is an indvidual who wants to...

...of the assignment is all about. You will briefly refer to the FLC and state which therapists developed it, explain the 6 stages and some of the relevant aspects of this model. The first part of the assignment has nothing to do with the couple you interview. It offers explanations and definitions only. It sets the scene for applying theory to the couple you interviewed. 2. How many words/ pages does this assignment need to be? Would you prefer us to write till we have covered all the topics and made our conclusion? Response The actual essay will be between 10 to 20 written pages and 8 to 12 typed pages. The questionnaire is one of the addendums and will not be included in this length. 3. Do we need to add the questions we asked the couple and their answers in our submission? Or do we use their answers as a general guideline to add to our understanding of the life-cycle theory. Response You have to know the theory well enough to be able to extract parts of the interview that confer or contradict the theory and demonstrate that you actually used the answers of the couple in your discussion of each section. It is best to use a formula such as this…..give a review of theory- provide definitions, an explanation in your own words, then apply the practical quotes or information gathered from the couple. This will demonstrate your ability to apply practice to theory ( integration). So you use their answers as a general guideline to demonstrate your understanding of theory. 4...

I do understand that as a native speaker to English, this course may be a bit difficult for you, however please don't worry as I am always here to help you. This week we are putting our focuses on the "Word Power" conference. This conference has been set up for students to participate in a fun new way of introducing new words and phrases. These words and phrases are English culture specific and may be difficult to learn, however with my help I am hoping you will understand the definition of the word as well as understand the phrases that this word provokes. In this conference we are discussing the word "Joe". Joe is a simple word, yet is used in so many ways to refer to so much. The word "Joe" in its simplest form is a noun and refers to a person, place or thing. Its most common reference is to a person; "Joe" is a name or nickname. It has become an easy way to refer to other phrases that mean more than just a name. The word is very informal and is used in a casual context. The military community has also adopted the word "Joe" and it...

...our stomachs too full to suck in, we all had one thing on our mind; sleep. The three of us pilled into his old green car and drove to Richard's. He had most of the upstairs to himself, so there was plenty room for us to be the bums we were. "Ya'll, I'm sick of being worthless, let's do something," he would always say after we had acted like bums for a couple of days straight.

...Code of Ethics Analysis There are many obstacles one will encounter in the human service organizations. One of the biggest issues is trying to explain to the clients that they need to give informed consent. Human service organizations tend to forget about the rights of the patient to give consent on treatment plans or methods of treatments under certain instances. For example, if a patient has a mental illness, it may be hard for a social worker to explain what is going on in a way that the patient will understand it. This situation may lead to the patient to not fully understanding that they have just given consent to be treated or not treated. The NASW, or National Association of Social Workers, had a Code of Ethics. This Code is to help guide the social workers on how to behave in a professional matter, how to handle situations in an ethical matter, and it gives a list of standards that are to be meet in an ethical way. These codes or rules may affect how a social worker will obtain consent from a patient because the patient could have a hearing disorder, a mental disorder, or they could even speak a different language. The goal of NASW is to take each situation and outline a way in which the social worker can get the consent they need. For example, let us say that the client is illiterate, or cannot understand the main language being used. The social worker will then have to verbally explain everything in a way that the client will understand them. If the...

...Vos, E and Kelleher, B: Mergers and Takeovers: A Memetic Approach. Motivation & reason for the paper and how it fits into the overall context of the literature: In the following paper the authors describe a new understanding of the motive phenomena for manager’s initiating M&As. Previous research strongly agrees with the stance that M&As are not a financially sound investment for companies, however, it seems that managers are willing to continue to practice M&As regardless of the negative long-term effect it will have on both the acquiring and target company. This goes against the theoretical view that managers are there to increase the value of shareholders. If managers understand this, their human behaviour to continue with M&As is irrational and can’t be explained by some mathematical model. Vos and Kelleher agree that the traditional theories and models of finance are irrelevant in describing managerial motives (particularly towards M&As), as it is the human behaviour that we must study. Their thesis is that managers are not acting so as to maximise shareholder wealth (agrees with agency theory) and their primary motivation behind M&As is to gain power. The data and methodology used by the paper: This diagnostic paper provides a literature review of previous research and then looks forward by applying behavioural ideas of ‘memetics’ to explain the motivation behind managers’ actions. The results of the paper and meaning of the results, in...

...Lynda K. Ilea CJS/230 Instructor: Margaret Peck What is your opinion of probation? What should happen with probation programs in the future? Do you think it would be appropriate to increase restrictions imposed on probation? Explain your rationale. Probation is a good concept and does work for the most part. When I was put on probation I really did not understand the true meaning of what Probation really meant. After being violated because of dirty drug urine's, I was returned back into the court system, later I was sentenced to time in jail. My real opinion on this, having your lawyer drill into your head the importance of what probation and rehabilitation truly means to the accused and the addict. Probation programs needs to concentrate on the rehabilitation of the individual that has obviously lost their way. If we spend the time to find out what is going on with the accused, we will find that there are usually some serious underlining issues that have caused them to do the things that they have done to land themselves in jail. Programs should focus more on the rehabilitation of the individual; everyone deserves the education on how to fix their problem. I do believe that the state should not always pick up the tab, so it should be treated as if the person is applying for a student loan. Promising to pay back to society what they have taken out of it. I never understood the error of my ways until I maintain a substantial amount of clean time. The longer...

...Chad Conger Mrs. Yoakum English105 17 October 2012 Summary In the article “Working Life” the author, Nisha Ramachandran, explains how working during your time in college can affect your life in many ways, but ultimately being a student should come first. Ramachandran opens up by elaborating on the average cost of college and how it can be overwhelming at times. She says, “ 74 percent of full-time students juggle work and school.”(292) Additionally 46 percent of those students work 25 hours or more in a week, and 20 percent work full time. Ramachandran also states that students should look for co-op programs that employ students into fields of their studies. The article explains that these carriers often pay better due to the amount of skills needed. Along with money, these co-op programs offer a look into the actual life of a possible future profession for the student. Ramachandran informs on the benefits of tuition reimbursement to student-employees. She states that these companies help a student with their school costs as well as money in pocket. As well as filling your pockets the author explains how building a solid resume while in college is also important. Ramachandran sums up her article with explaining how important your schoolwork can be. She states some helpful tips; do not expect to pay off college while still in college. The author brings everything into perspective by explaining that students that work 10 hours a week on average have a much better GPA...

...Explain informed consent and confidentiality to the client. Informed consent involves the counselor explaining the benefits and risks of counseling as well as its alternatives. It also allows the counselor permission to record counseling sessions in writing, and via video and auditory means. In an educational institution setting, informed consent allows students to observe counseling sessions. Once these issues are explained to the potential client, the client is asked to sign legal documents that state the client understands and agrees to the services to be provided and their potential dangers. When counseling minors, informed consent must come from a parent. While explaining the pros and cons of counseling to the parent, the counselor must also explain the necessity of confidentiality in the therapeutic relationship with a minor. A confidentiality form is presented during the discussion of confidentiality. In adhering to counseling ethics, the counselor must explain that confidentiality is a promise not to discuss matters that are shared by the client with a third party unless under pre-determined exceptions. The exceptions to confidentiality include reporting information the client reveals to the counselor that suggests he or she is a danger to him or herself or others. For example: If a client talks about killing himself and identifies that he has a plan and the means to execute that plan, it is the counselor's ethical responsibility to inform appropriate...
