I love working in ob/gyn department but it doesn’t stop me from helping in primary care, the rehab facility or the pride health. I might be more sensitive to a certain population but I am there to serve and help all clients. Growing up was not easy, since I was raise by my aunt with her in laws I do understand been alone, hurt, unwanted, been verbally and physically abuse, mistreated or been jealous of. In that case having an abuse family member can have me take the case a little at hear due to what I been through in the past year .I learn how to forgive and use what I experienced to be a good cause. I see me as a family and child counselor, an advocate trying to help and prevent kids, adolescent, young adult not to carry anger, pain, hurt or more towards the person that mistreated them.

In this case study I will be expressing my opinion on where an advocate would of helped Sam and his daughter (Lucy) from the movie “I am Sam”.

Sam had a few people in his life during his journey of parenthood on his own.
ALLEYAH JEANELLE KNIGHT-PARENT REFERENCE LETTER Being Alleyah’s father, I must first admit my obvious bias of her being an absolutely wonderful young woman. As a physician, however, my training has conditioned me to be non-biased in my assessment of what makes an individual healthy and successful. I have also had the misfortune, yet the advantage of being the non-custodial parent for Alleyah the past six years. These circumstances have forced me to parent more from the “outside, looking in”, which I believe also contributes to a less biased point of view concerning Alleyah’s character and successes. In my opinion, Alleyah is quite mature and accomplished for her 18 years.
A way of challenging someone's expectations is by having support from friends, family, and teachers. Christy Brown was born with Cerebral Palsy, many people saw him as a failure but his family was always there for him. When people told the Brown’s family that they shouldn’t see him as a part of the family and should just send him to an institute they didn't listen.
