One of my goals this year was to join a club or take a class that would teach me outside of the classroom. This goal fits under the Acedemic Enrichment portion of the Honors and Scholars GOALS. I took a three hour training that taught me how to be effective in interacting with people who are blind, and how to empower their independent living.

Social Work Community Resources
For my social work class we had to develop a community resource packet for the Franklin County area for about 10 different areas in which someone from your targeted population many need connections to. I enjoyed this assignment because I was able to look at different resources provided around the area I live in, and figure my client. As a social worker, we must be able to connect clients to resources that would help put them in a better position than their current position. And example would be homeless shelters. There may be a time where as a behaviorSocial worker my client has no place to go. As a social worker/ case manager, I can connect them to “ LSS Faith Mission Homeless Shelter & Services” your address is 245 N Grant Ave, Columbus, OH 43215 with a contact number of (614)-224-6617. A description of this service is to provide clients with basic needs of survival including: shelter, food, healthcare, and case management. They provide three meals a day, there are three different sheltering system, and they are open 365 days a year. With this knowledge, I can share this information with people who expressed to me that they are homeless before I become a social worker.
