...| | Introduction Mr. Smith is a young man attempting to change his life for the better. The purpose of this paper is to inform, applying critical thinking, and communicate professional judgment about youths in a rural setting. The youths of YouthBuild Mississippi Delta face many obstacles in everyday life and strive to become better citizens. Client System Andra Smith is a 23 years old, African American. He is the youngest of 5 children raised in a single parent home in rural Mississippi. His father was never around to guide him into becoming a man and his other siblings did not complete high school either. The value system is living and surviving from day to day. The mother is a cook at the local restaurant and makes just a little more than minimum wage. She is a functioning alcoholic and I believe that this disease runs in the family.

The Wal-Mart Store has revolutionized the way that Americans shop for groceries, household supplies, clothes, and even home repair items. Sam Walton’s vision for a place that people could come to purchase a variety of items in one location for a reasonable price, began in 1940 when he started working in retail for J.C. Penny.
