...Majority of the professionals get a sense of approval when helping others whether offering direct or indirect assistance. I chose to enter the helping field because so many around me have children with disabilities or dysfunctions within the home. Frustrated with not knowing what to do or where to turn to. I want to make a difference with them and help them to have that support and peace that I have learned over the years with my sister and my son. By learning more of how to help them and how to find the best way to support them I can help many of the families around me to understand what they are going through as well as learning techniques to help themselves with their child or children. Find them resources and the right doctor and helping with them handling the environment around them such as church and school. I chose this field because it hurt me after reading about so many cases of child abuse from parents of infants, small kids, and children with special needs that were assigned to case workers that knew the kids needed some type of help and they falsely signed papers saying they checked on the child but the children passed away. so my thought was I could be one of the many case workers that actually do care of the outcome of children. I wanted to enter this field for many reasons. Being that my daughter has Asperger's and until recently programs and services were seriously lacking. I have a family of people with alcoholism and drug addiction issues. Being in a thirteen-year...

...Define what "good" means to you. Being good does not mean only by outer goodness . You have to consider being good straight from the heart i.e purely . Ultimately, you have to decide on your own code of ethics, and what matters is that you follow through with what you believe makes you a good person. At times, this may conflict with what others believe is good, and they might even accuse you of being wrong or evil. Consider their views-either they know something you don't, in which case you may learn something from them and update your morality, or perhaps their experience is limited, meaning that you should take their views with a grain of salt. Ad Be Good Step 2.jpg 2Be good for its own sake. Don't try to be a good person because your parents told you to, because you want recognition or respect, or for any kind of reward except your own satisfaction in doing what you believe is good. Never act superior to anyone else or brag about your "goodness" or "righteousness". Your dedication to a particular creed, ideology, or set of guidelines does not make you better than anyone else. Do what you believe makes you a good person on your own terms, and remember that it's an individual journey-everyone's path is unique. Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.[1] Be Good Step 3.jpg 3Be proactive. It's tempting to infer that as long as you avoid doing the things you know are bad (stealing, badmouthing, lying, intentionally saying hurtful things, etc.), then that means you...

...Analyzing a Web Page Amber Mousel June 23rd, 2013 Instructor: Norma Swales BSHS/352 The website that I chose to evaluate is the United States Department of Health and Human Services or (http://www.hhs.gov). This website is about helping the American citizens get assistance that they need by putting the information on their website that will guide them in getting help. After reviewing the materials on how to analyze a web page, I realized there is much more to the website than what most people see on the surface. According to Widner University and Wolfram Memorial Library, there are four ways to properly analyze a website to make sure that the information that you are getting is legitimate and credible. The first one is checking the Authority of the website. This means that the website should have it clearly posted the person or persons who are responsible for the information that is posted on the website. There should be a name of the person or group and/or some kind of contact information for that person. On the website that I chose, there isn’t a name of a person, but there is contact information including the name of the business as well as the address, fax, and phone numbers. The copyright of the website is also clearly stated at the bottom of the page. The second thing that they talked about was accuracy. Making sure that the information is indeed factual as well as the sources being listed is also very important. Including...

...Workers Michelle Humble BSHS 471 December 11, 2011 Deborah Machold Skills and Characteristics of Mental Health Human Services Workers Working in the human service field can be a very trying job for many people. I believe that there are those that were born to be that way and those that have been taught to be caring and compassionate. While not every person is cut out to be on the front line of this field, those that are become very special people. Willing to give up their lives and time to help others and not make allot of money doing so. This group of people has a unique personality that is not taught or handed out to everyone. The people that work in the human service field are a special class of people and help to make our current world a better place. Training and knowledge is just the beginning of what is needed to be successful in the human service field. A human service worker must be able to put personal prejudices aside to be able to help his or her client in the appropriate manner. Putting aside personal prejudices does not mean putting aside common sense. Ethics are another key point to be successful, without this then one truly cannot freely see the entire big picture. Not being judgmental is another key point, you are seeing them or helping them for a reason, the last thing your client needs is to be pointed at continuously be told that what they did was wrong. Education is an important key too, this does not always mean by the books either. Some...

...Volunteering – The personal benefits Prewriting – For Prewriting this essay, I chose to use brainstorming. I wrote a list of what I felt the benefits of volunteering were as well as different things about volunteering and then used them to create my essay. Draft Are you bored with your life? Do you feel that you want to do something new or more for your community? Volunteering can be a great way for you to meet new people, get involved with your community and feel good. When you volunteer, whether it’s helping others or volunteering on a project or program, what you are doing will benefit an individual person or many people. Volunteering can be a short or long term situation, but whichever you choose, you should make sure that you are able to commit to the time involved. I volunteer at my church. The program that I volunteer in is called Friendship Ministry. With volunteering for the Friendship Ministry, I share God’s love with people who have impairments and help them become an active member of God’s family. Each mentor is assigned a “friend” that they will develop a relationship with. We sit with our friends and have lunch with them and play activities and sing with them while teaching them that we were all made special and are God’s family. We do this the third Sunday of each month. Each mentor interacts with their friends differently, but makes them feel special. I developed a special relationship with my friend Susan. She lives in a group home run by the state...

...being individuals who experience and are living with mental health issues and the second being those individuals suffering from substance abuse issues. After giving the two some careful thought and consideration, I selected the special population of substance abuse. The population of substance abuse was selected because it was the one that I had the most interest in and also because I have more knowledge and experience as it pertains to this topic than I do with mental health issues. I have had first and second hand experience in dealing with this problem and I know how it affects those around the individual who is abusing the substance, whether it be alcohol or one or more of a various amount of drugs. I’ve known my fair share of people, both friends and family members who have suffered too long with this issue either from the inability to afford help or from...

...“If you don’t know who you are, powerful people can make you who they want you to be.” 1.) How do you respond differently to moral vs legal obligations that are presented to you? I have always believed that even though sometimes I am torn between two options, If I am being honest with myself that I would pick the more moral outcome. For moral obligations I imagine myself in the other persons “shoes” and imagine not what would benefit me, but what would benefit them. For legal obligations I try to look at the whole picture and figure out what would benefit the majority of the group. Even if this option may not be better for me, if it is better for the larger sum that is usually my decision. 2.) What kind of leader or mentor do you tend to follow? Why? I tend to follow someone who inspires me, usually through verbal speech or by their actions. I have always admired people who take action and go against the grain of whatever everyone else is doing, but chooses to do whats needed or right. I have made it a priority in my life to make a difference wherever it may be. 3.) What kind of person tends to choose you as a mentor? Why do you think? All throughout school I have always been comfortable stepping up and becoming the “leader” of the group. Mainly because I don’t want us to fail and unfortunately most people are a little shy or bashful with speaking up. I enjoy helping people become engaged with the group and feel comfortable using their strengths to benefit...

...someone donates a handful of time, the difference made is tremendous and it shapes a community for the more preponderant while the experience amends the person who donated the time. It is what makes a community because it assembles people to work on a goal. Whether it is a fundraiser for the research to remedy a disease that affects the whole world, or to avail a local family who has fallen in a time of calamity, volunteers make it transpire. Community life is amended by availing others and lending an availing hand to get a job done more efficaciously. More people working equals less work for each person and less time for the project. When I was a young boy and it was brought to my attention how others did not have anything or anyone. It was Christmas time and my family packed up 30 lunches, scarfs, T-shirts, blankets and we drove down to Washington DC. I was told to pick out people who I thought needed to eat and looked cold. I remember thinking everyone had a home, family and food for themselves. It never occurred to me that people lived on the street with no food, shelter or support. That day we handed our food and clothing to people who truly had nothing. As a direct result of giving and wanting to help at that moment, I was inspired to lend a helping hand and contribute to my own community. We donated our time and gave hope to someone who required it. A volunteer conjointly benefits themselves because they get to optically discern how their contribution has made a difference...

...that has taught me to not be carless with what I have, and know that I can lose it all again in the blink of an eye. I am happy. I enjoy life. I have lived my life in dark places for so long. I love life so much now. I enjoy family and friends and all of the time I have with them, knowing that every day I wake is another blessing to me. I have to say I believe myself to be both independent and interdependent. I think independent because of all that I have achieved in my life because of all of the heartaches I have endured. I have brought myself to this point in my life of my own free will. I also identify with interdependent because of who I have become and the happiness that I have found; I am now able to be a social person and talk to people. When I was abusing drugs I was not able to do this and was hiding from the world. I feel now that if I lost the connections that I have made with the...

...elect a new president or a prime minister. It opens curtains on every private peculiarity about the candidate: with whom he meets and what he eats. Sometimes the information is becoming ridiculous. Do we need such a close look to someone’s private life? Most of the information is just riveting but not useful. But peeping Tom journalism becomes more and more demanded. Famous people deserve privacy and respect. First of all, we should admire what they do, not who they are. Of course we are interested to know what they do, whom they meet and what they eat around the clock but we should not invade their family or private life through the media. Secondly, the children and family of famous people should not be affected. Some stars have to hire security for their children or spouses because of media attention. Scrutiny may be the price celebs pay for fame. There are several cases in the history when people lost the privacy and got anguish being hounded by media. For example, Richard Jewell a security guard in Olympic Park in the US was at first hailed as a hero for discovering the bomb and helping to clear people from the area. Then news accounts in the Atlanta Journal named him as a suspect. And his life totally changed. Because he was convicted in the court of public opinion. He couldn’t find a job and meet his friends, he was under scrutiny around the clock being a prisoner in his home. Although, generally speaking, the media should not interfere in people’s private lives, there...

...My Philosophy I have never lived by one solid philosophy, but rather rose to live by three. I like to believe that all three have different meanings, but in general they basically stand for everything that I think I am made up of. My three philosophies are: work hard, take pride in myself and the accomplishments that I make, and also everyone is on this planet for a reason. The people around are a big role in how you view things. For example, my mother was a dancer, and I am a dancer, but my sister believes that dancing is one of the most disgusting things in the world. This example shows that someone that was raised in the same house as me could view thing depending on their drive for a goal. The first of my three philosophies, to work hard, can be very easily explained. In my few young years of living I’ve come to feel that if money or a gift given to me by another person because I earned the reward is much more valued. In other words, knowing that I worked hard, did a good job, and deserve a reward makes me feel good inside. I also feel that all persons should have to work and support themselves. My grandmother taught me young that, if a person doesn't wish to put forth any effort and work hard to support themselves, then that person deserves nothing. This philosophy that was taught to me showed me that nothing is hand given anything that I want has to be earned. The next of my three philosophies is to take pride in myself and the accomplishments that I make. Not...
