I never had a father figure and being a young boy at the reservation I really needed his advice. I needed his guidance and protection. Oh, man I wish I could have had him in my life. As far as my mother, that also brings pain and sorrow to my heart. She died while giving birth to me.
In Axelrod’s book we can see how the spread of public schooling in Canada served to extend literacy to all, and thereby to preserve British civilization, to prepare youth for work in an increasingly industrialized economy and after Confederation to help build the new immigrants to Canada, who needed to be Canadianized. In some provinces Blacks were educated
The first session is often spent conducting an intake interview, which includes collecting basic demographic information about the client (age, marital status, number of children, ethnicity, etc. )” Martin, M. E (2003). Once again dealing with a large population that even miles away from their native land, can’t seem to pass the idea of going to someone other than family or friends to resolve their problem. It’s a battle to get people come forward to talk about abuse, rape, sexual orientation when in their mother land it’s a big taboo a delicate situation. As an immigrant I know and feel very sad to not been able to educate others to come forward it’s not the same in America help is there for all and the system for most case will come
I also made life-long friendships, and I am still meeting new people at our meetings that we have during the school year. The summer before my junior year of high school I attended my 10-day residential Junior Conference at Christian Brothers University. Entering the program I had mixed feelings because I was so excited to meet new people, but at the same time I was extremely nervous because I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
For my Senior Project presentation, I will provide a completed and signed off log recording the number of the hours and days I volunteered during this summer program. I will also provide pictures of me completing assigned tasks and assisting the kids in their needs as I will do so with the permission of the each student’s guardian. This is not so much a stretch for me as it is more of a challenge. I’m treating this summer program almost as a job. As we grow older, we learn we have to take on responsibilities in order to show that we are ready for what life

The experience that has given me the biggest sense of ‘Firebird Pride’ is my time in National Honor Society. I truly enjoy giving back to the community and school that has given me so much. Through working with students my own age to senior citizens to citizens of Dayton in homeless shelters, I have realized how blessed I am to have all of the opportunities that have arisen during my high school career. I am a stronger leader, a better community member, and a more patient and understanding person because of the service I have provided throughout my time in NHS. Through the tutoring hours put into this group, I have formed bonds with students I never would have otherwise been around and the relationships with these kids and their parents have made me feel like I have had my own impact on the community.
Also, he points out that the parents were not allowed to get to close to the children, showing us that the children had no type of affection. The parents were not supposed to get close with the children because in most cases the children were going to die and they wanted the parents to be able to move right along. The author uses Aries’s Centuries of Childhood: A Social History of Family Life, a study of European attitudes toward childhood. By doing this enrichment assignment it enhanced my thought of how the Puritan children were treated. I never knew that the Puritan children did not have any childhood until I took this class.
Youth Rights Media is a nonprofit organization in New Haven that helps youth learn, understand, and educate their peers about their rights through the use of media and video production. Over the summer I took a chance and a new kind of excitement began. My experience was life changing. I first became involved with Youth Rights Media during my junior year of high school for a 3 week internship. Through my internship I participated in Media Lab, a program that teaches youth communication strategies and how to create productions used in community educational events.
Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation This summer, entering my senior year, I was able to spend it as an intern at one of the greatest cancer organizations in the nation, the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. It was an opportunity given by my magnet coordinator, in order to keep us busy and learn what political leadership is really about. As an intern, at this outstanding organization, I captured so many memories that I will treasure for the rest of life but I also learned many things that have changed my life for the better. To start off, I believe that all of my years as a student in the magnet program have been preparing me for this, my internship because it equipped us with all the necessary tools to be able to handle the job as an intern. All of my magnet classes, from the beginning, taught me all the necessary things in order for me to be ready for my “job.” The teachers, especially, helped us be ready this internship had in store for us.
