If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this post is worth nearly 100,000 words! (Maybe I should have been a photographer instead of a writer.)

Of course, there was a whole lot of studying going on this semester—but also a whole lot of fun. Take a stroll through this album of nearly 100 photos, and you’ll get a sense of what the lighter side of spring semester is like here at Longwood.

And, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of your Lancer living their best life.

The purpose of the project is to inform people on ways to deal with and help individuals who are dealing with elder and disabled persons self neglect. Self neglect is common in this demographic of individuals and we used this to show how to look at potential risk factors and other things which may effect these individuals. The target audience is the families of these individuals as well as the nurses taking care of them. I could have better improved some of the ways I explained the issues at hand but we did well on explaining risk factors which are felt with in these situations.

The key competencies which enhanced my learning were career and self development, critical thinking, equity and inclusion, professionalism, teamwork, and technology. I used this project to look at what I want my career to be and how I can deal with these issues in the future. This project as well helped me with thinking about things deeper than I normally would as well as looking at how to treat other individuals in these situations and including everyone. Professionalism, teamwork, and technology all work together in how I am going to use them in the future. Working with a team showed me how to properly do this as well as how to better use technology in these situations.

I knew this day would come, but it still hurts to say. Tomorow is my last day as an intern at Centra PACE. It’s been an incredible four months, and I have learned so much from every department there. I imagine saying goodbye to the participants will be especially difficult, even though I have told them in advance.

I would like to say thank you to the wonderful staff at Farmville PACE, who made me feel like a member of the team from the very beginning. I appreciate for taking my thoughts into consideration and helping me initiate my own goals with participants. I am especially grateful to my supervisors who empowered mean provided me with so much guidance. I think i am most grateful to the participants, who always kept my days interesting provided me with much needed experience. While I am sad to be leaving, I am also glad to have had this wonderful experience.

Back in March, I attended a luncheon held by the Social Work department. The luncheon was meant to show appreciation to internship supervisors of the juniors and senior level interns. A few people, myself included, gave speeches about our experiences so far. Our supervisors were so happy to hear praise from faculty members and their interns. It’s been a great experience working with PACE, and I hope my next internship will be just as rewarding.

This is a policy from Centra PACE that I wrote an in-depth critique of.

Abstract: The road to Kenya’s first free, fair, and peaceful in 2022 was a long and bloody one. Since independence from the deconstructing British Empire in 1962, each opportunity for the democratic process was marred by ethnopolitical conflict, economic turmoil, and the repression of the dynastical executive branch. As a result of this journey, however, Kenya has launched itself onto the global political stage, becoming a major actor in not only their East African region, but internationally into conflict zones such as Haiti in 2024. This research explores how the lasting British legacy of society, economics, and politics, hindered and then transformed Kenya as a democratic republic. (April 2024 – unpublished)
