Describe the inspiration behind the design of your own mission statement.

These four at-risk issues poverty, child protection & child maltreatment services, homelessness, and students at risk are challenges for a large percent of our communities. I have a heart for all of them. The course assignments played a big part in my inspiration. My love and compassion for children and single parents have been my inspiration for a better generation. I was looking for a design that would signify and resonate in the hearts of others.

Discuss the changes made to your working definition of at-risk and how you believe the changes improved upon your original draft. If you made no changes, explain why not.

Constructing my website was very difficult for me, and although, I thought I was adding content to the section heading, it was not on the actual website when I previewed it; I found out that it takes time to replicate. I have huddled across obstacles while making corrections to the website this week.

Explain where and how you made revisions to any artifacts and/or the design of your website based on the feedback previously received from peers or your instructor’s evaluation of the work.

In my efforts to revising and adding artifacts was difficult because I was going back and forth with the selection of pictures for my website design. I am looking forward to my feedback from my peers and the instructor's evaluation of my work.

Introduce peers to the Child Maltreatment Brochure you developed during Week Three by briefly describing what you learned about the topic and about designing an effective brochure while creating it. Discuss any challenges associated with designing the brochure as well as what you like best about your creation.

I enjoyed creating and developing my Child maltreatment brochure. I use to think that child maltreatment was related to malnutrition, but I have learned that there are four types of maltreatment; physical harm or abuse, psychological abuse, neglect and sexual abuse. Child maltreatment is an action or behavior that brings psychological or physical harm to a child. My design was off a little bit because the format of your brochure requires slight editing (some words run over columns and font/sizes are inconsistent). I need to expound on my discussion on the policies or program in the resources, and my statistics require a small description for full understanding.  I like the artifacts within my design and the graphics.

Introduce peers to the School-Based Efforts: A Plan to Support At-Risk Youth assignment you developed in Week Four. Briefly discuss some of the most important concepts learned while researching and preparing this assignment. What do you like best about this creation or the process of creating it?

One of my young adults' dreams was to become a social worker. Taking the role of a social worker and the process of researching for the role was a great experience. The most important concepts learned while researching and preparing for this assignment were the Youth at-risk indicators and behaviors associated with being at risk. I have had a personal stake in these matters, especially with youths living in stressful family environments, youths lacking social or emotional support from family members and youths associating with delinquent peers. Having received comprehension of this information has allowed me to provide knowledge to the parent involved in ways I did not think possible.

Describe what you like so far about the process of gradually adding to your website and sharing to participate in reciprocal feedback.

The learning process was okay for me, and to be honest, I did not like constructing a website, but at least, I have experience creating a website on my own. Participating in the reciprocal feedback was a good experience for me to see things from a different perspective.
