My dream is to further advance the Hospice model for care, taking care of the sick in their own homes, as a means for a much more humane and compassionate way to tend to the sick and elderly. I know that this dream is possible and I am already seeing the benefits through the work of my own family. My mother currently runs eight Hospices in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Texas and South Dakota. Many of my mother's Hospices are in rural areas. I have witnessed first hand the positive impact that the Hospice has on its' patients by volunteering at my mother's Hospices and by completing a fifteen week internship at a local inpatient Hospice. These experiences were not only educational, but also very personally rewarding. There's nothing more gratifying than knowing that you have helped another person in need.
Through my previous Hospice experiences, I have discovered that the elderly often require more than the physical care that traditional health care institutions are prepared to provide; the elderly needs a "total care" approach that also includes psychological, social and spiritual care. Although competence across all these areas is a tall order, I have faith in my desire...
Already, I have performed well in high school in classes such as Genocide Studies and Social Justice. I believe the major reason that I performed well in these classes is my strong desire to help the elderly in their time of need and the realization that I will need to work very hard to be of real assistance. Further, I am already preparing for college to make my dream to become a Hospice worker a reality. I plan on taking two courses this year at Tompkins Cortland Community College to better prepare myself for college. I have pre-registered for Pre-Calculus and English in the fall and I will take Biology and Sociology in the spring.
I am now seeking a program in Sociology that will best help me perform my future career choice. In particular, I am interested in a program such as the one at your university that can offer me classes such as Immigration and Changing America, Inequality and Development, Comparative U.S. Racial and Ethnic Relations and Indigenous Peoples and Globalization. I believe these classes will better prepare me for dealing with diverse patients.
Laws of ecological science: ' propose to resolve the dilemmas of traps, values, attitudes, and beliefs that lead to exploitation of the environment by deriving an environmental ethic from three basic laws of ecological science' (Bechtel, 1997). The law of interdependence: Everything in the universe is connected in some form or fashion and that makes it impossible to do something without affecting something else (GAIA is an example) (Bechtel, 1997). 1) Diversity:

With the technology available in today's economy, it is probable that education could go back to the days when students received more individualized instruction. There is no refuting that technology will continue to alter education (Cornell, 2007). Socialization is the development of a sense of being self connected to a larger social world by way of learning and internalizing the values, beliefs, and norms of one's culture. During socialization people
Health Policy Values My personal values and spiritual beliefs are rooted in the catechism I was taught as a young person. My family is Roman Catholic and they taught me that values and beliefs of this church and how they should guide one’s life and actions. Inherent in this system of beliefs is the concept of the Golden Rule, which is that you should do unto others as you would like
Therapy Values Challenge Fortunately for both patients and therapists alike, there is not usually a huge source of discord to the level that could impede a counselor's ability to do their job. However, it can and does happen every day. Whether it be a personal connection to the patient (or someone close to them), some other obvious ethical conflict of interest or whatever, there are times and situations where something arises
