A Message To Garcia “A Message To Garcia” was a story that dated back to the Spanish-American war of 1899. The story tells of a messenger named Roman whom was tasked with taking a letter to another soldier named Garcia. The general knew that Roman was the man for the job because he was very loyal and instantly and willingly obeyed orders without question. Rowan lived up to the Generals expectations. Rowan traveled four days by boat to Cuba and once he reached Cuba he traveled three weeks through the jungles of Cuba.
Highly idolized in Cuba Jose Marti became a figure of liberty and a symbol of the ongoing struggle to gain independence from Spanish rule. A poet, martyr, and a genuine patriot at heart Marti undertook the responsibility for political change not only through his vivid revolutionary writings, but through his daring strategic, organized, and unified the movement. A true native hero-- the Apostle of the Cuban Revolution, Jose Marti, dedicated his life to Cuban independence and a free and united America. Built and donated in 1958, but not erected until May 19, 1965 due to many political struggles between Cuban groups and American authorities, a statue of Jose Marti mounted on a horse now stands at a height of 37 feet in New York’s own Central Park. Made of bronze the equestrian statue was sculpted by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington; however, the monument’s dark granite pedestal, which was designed by the architectural firm of Clarke & Rapuano was donated by the Cuban government.
Although Jose Marti died fighting for the independence of Cuba, he was also a fighter for human rights. He lived in an era where Cuba was governed by the Spaniards. At that time, slavery prevailed. In his book “Simple Verses”, Jose Marti described in one of his poems the slave’s barracks. It is not until the end of the poem when he mentions himself as spectator of the murder of one slave and he “swore to wash the crime with his blood”.
It is my hope that through the learnt therapies I will be able to provide my clients with a greater understanding of their feelings and behavior and the help I can give them will hopefully lead to the client living a more fulfilled and meaningful life without the need for constant support. I have always had the ability to put myself in other people’s shoes and I am told I am an excellent listener. I do believe that no one knows what’s best for us than us, we are all unique and all need to find our own way but sometimes we need some help and guidance doing this when it feels too much or when maybe we can’t see a way out. This course and hopefully the following level 5 diploma will really help me hone my therapist skills and give all of the knowledge and skills to best support and guide my clients.
To work in a person centred way you have to develop a clear understanding about the individuals you are supporting. This includes their needs, their culture, their means of communication, their likes and dislikes, their family and other professionals’ involvement so you can promote and provide person centred care and support. There are eight person centred values that support person-centred care and support. INDIVIDUALITY: Assumptions should never be made about an individual. They should never have to fit in with you or your employer.
The USA played a big role in Cuba’s economy after 1875. From the time of the 1898 Spanish-American war until 1959, the U.S. also played an important political role in Cuba's internal and foreign policies. During 1898 the USA declared war on Spain. In 1898 the USA manages to defete Spain which gives up all claimes to cuba and surrenders it to the US. In 1902 Cuba becomes independent with Tomas Estrada Palma but the Platt Amendment keeps the island under US protection and gives the US the right to intervene in Cuban affairs.
Mr. Pacetta would take the never quit attitude from his mother and the business and people savvy of his father and combine them to make one outstanding mentor and leader. Mr. Pacetta did not try and reinvent the wheel when it came to the leadership principles that he adopted to become a successful leader. Here are just a few of Mr. Pacettas leadership traits, what they mean and how they are applicable in a military environment. He is a lead from the front person; he will not simply give orders and expect his minions to comply with them. He will go out and show them how to act and perform.
A life that achieves prosperity has no clear-cut line. A person must find his or her own way. However, It is quite possible that a clear mind is the best medicine for sadness and the first step to happiness. As a person who battled doubt and guilt my whole freshman year of college, I know this all too well. In my very first year of college at Morehead State University, every time I would get a moment to think to myself I’d find that only troubles were waiting to reappear.
Since having no college degree, I knew that good jobs would be hard to find. I decided it was time for me to make a life changing decision. I started with returning to college to earn my degree. Even though returning to college will be a life changing experience for me. Returning to school has been a dream of mines since I graduated from high school.
Why College Education is Important to Me For most individuals, a college education is merely the next step in the road to a successful career. For myself, the importance of a college education is more of a personal goal. Eight years ago, one of the last conversations I had with my mother prior to her passing away was her wish for me to attain my Bachelors Degree; a goal I had made for myself back when I was just entering High School but never attained as planned. I was one of those numbers who contributed to the statistics of having to drop out of college early on due to pregnancy. As a single parent, I had to put my educational goals on the back burner to raising my family.
