For the future courses I embark on, I will have to add grit and time-management to my best self. Throughout the course there has been many great topics we have discussed but grit and time-management have stuck to me the most. Having the grit to go through a situation is all we can hope for because life is full of unwanted and tricky situations. As we count down the final days of this class, I have already been assigned my next classes. I will admit, I was pretty overwhelmed just like the first time few days of this course. I stuck it through and learned how we can adapt to almost anything in life. I’m sure my fellow classmates and I will do great as we continue to take on classes as long as we keep moving forward with a positive mental attitude. In the time I have took this course I have made a variety of schedules until I found the one that suited me well. I took the lessons learned from the time-management module on how to help me surpass this class and I am confident I can do the same with future classes. 

Reflection on the past is how we move forward in life and make better decisions. Having a clear vision for the future is only possible by understanding the past. As I stated earlier, I have adapted now to the class modules and time-management. I can only understand how far I will go, by understanding how far I have come. When I encounter a great challenge, I can reflect on my past and how far I have come to encourage myself that I can succeed in future obstacles. 

When Greg Fowler stated the series of questions, all of them were great, but one touched my soul. “Am I being the person I want to be?”. Everything that motivates me now is becoming the person I have always wanted to be. I hated who I was in my teenage and early adult years until I learned that I can break free of the shackles people had on me. People around me told me that I wouldn’t amount to anything and that stuck with me and played a big role on how I saw my future, but not anymore. I can become someone who my nephews and maybe even my future kids look up to and come for help because I never had any one to be there for me. I want to be someone my family can be proud of for their sacrifices because they didn’t get the chance to all these opportunities that they have blessed me with. 

What are the four types of needs that you believe should always be considered in a community health assessment? Consider those needs in your own community. How do you see them interacting with each other?

REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS)

                                               CLASSMATE’S POST

The four types of need that should be considered when conducting a community health assessment are:

1) Expressed – demand for services (who requires the service, how many people require the service, how often is it used, what is the service) 

2) Normative – used to determine is a need exists. It could be the lack of a service, inadequate services, or excess service (this need is viewed through the eyes of the observer)

3) Perceived – what need does the community feel they require (this need is viewed through the eyes of the person requiring the need)

4) Relative – Is the identified gap that is identified through the contrast between the disadvantaged and advantaged populations.

In Franklin County where I was raised, it has been identified that there is an increase in deaths by guns and an increase in drug overdoses. You can see the needs interacting because local officials have expressed the need to decrease gun violence and drug use. The community members feel that the local government should step in and gain control of the problem. The deaths resulting from gun violence and drug overdoses are occurring at alarmingly higher rates than in neighboring counties All needs have to be considered to determine the root cause of the problem, which will allow planners to implement a solid solution.

The concepts of leadership and management are somewhat of a controversial issue. Some believe the concepts are very much the same, while others think they are completely different.

Leadership is often thought of as an influential force–for instance, one who possesses the ability to change organizational culture, create opportunities, and inspire. Management, on the other hand, enforces the change. There’s an old “proverb” that says leadership is doing the right thing and management is doing things right.

Based on this information, compare the concepts of leadership and management and whether leaders are born or made. Discuss if you think leaders are born or made. Why or why not? Think about the different responsibilities and duties of a leader and how those responsibilities correlate to a leader or manager.
