Emblem

This emblem is a great representation of mystory and my writing process because it sums it all up in one quote. Throughout mystory there is a repetitive theme of hard work which has led to success over time whether it being learning English, dissecting a pig brain, or the work in my community. These successes are stepping stones in reaching my short and long term goals. It represents me as a person because everyday I am working hard towards something which i don't always achieve right away but over time. This can be seen through my writing in the class where my use of grammar and analytical skills have dramatically improved although I am not fully where i want to be but I am a step closer than i was yesterday. One quote that i would also associate is "Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon." This quote ties in with my emblem, mystory and life because i don't see anything as too big for myself. I may fail at first but i learned from that failure meaning I am that much closer to conquering whatever I am working towards.

Challenge Check-in 3

The challenge enhanced my knowledge of Hip-Hop because it allowed me to realize how general the term Hip-Hop is. Each of the different options viewed Hip-Hop in a different aspect whether it being through music, graffiti, dance, film, neighborhood, literature, community, and fashion. Moreover, specifically recognizing my community as a Hip-Hop community helped broaden my view on the definition of Hip-Hop. It helped me understand that Hip-Hop is not just the music videos and rappers and singers but more of a movement and expression just in a different interpretation. For example, parks with basketball courts are a version of Hip-Hop because it is the showcasing talents to one another. When it comes to art forms in Hip-Hop whether rap, song, dance, or poetry, Hip-Hop is basically a talent show of people expressing their views and feelings through the style of Hip-Hop being upbeat. Likewise, sports on the community and underground level is the same thing of athletes showcasing their talents without any external monetary benefits or but rather just the showcasing of raw talent. Some difficulties i had was translating my views in the essay in the sense of getting the audience to see my interpretation of things.

Community

A Literacy sponsor that supported my educational endeavors as a child was a man named Mr. John. Mr. John was a tutor at the local Little River Public Library for one of the library's education enrichment programs on Saturdays. Eager to learn English i registered for the tutoring sessions and Mr. John became my Tutor. After a few Saturday sessions Mr. John grew fond of my hunger for knowledge.Mr. John and I developed a loving relationship over time in that he loved teaching especially since i was so eager to learn everything. Mr. John became so dedicated that he started picking me up from my home, feeding me, and dropping me off home each and every Saturday. I admired Mr. John very so because of his extra dedication to genuinely help me become a better English speaker.  He went above and beyond the call of duty by making sure i had the right resources to succeed even if it cost him his out of pocket earnings. Through my hard work. determination, and Mr. John's motivation i not only became English proficient enough to stop taking ESOL classes, but i jumped right into gifted classes. As a young boy who's parents were immigrants he guided me throughout my years in elementary as a mentor on how to succeed. One gesture that really showed how he cared was the fact that on Christmas he went out of his way to not only buy me several gifts but my siblings. One consequence from that experience was the mindset of thinking that's how all or most American teachers were which proved to be highly wrong. He helped instill that "Sky is the limit" mentality in me of me believing in myself and my determination.

Solutions

1. In order to help prevent and bring this epidemic to a halt there needs to be a united monitored program in place with the proper mechanisms like minimizing transmission through direct contact with proper  use of equipment like hand washing and glove use.
2. Controlling environmental factors like temperature because some bacteria grow in certain conditions.
3.  Surveillance of infections data taken by proper personnel as well as monitored.
4.  Enhancing staff practices with frequently updated Continuing Education Units CEU’s of teaching and making sure proper certifications and techniques are obtained as they become available.
5. State and Government officials should provide incentives for decrease in infections for monthly and yearly reports.
6.  Media use like the 2012 film "A Silent Epidemic" that was produced to bring awareness to the general public.
7.  Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) which is making sure tools are being sterilized with the proper cleaning agencies as well as the hospitals.
8.  Microbial Typing which is analyzing the new strands for the bacterias and trying to develop a cure for those because the cure like penicillin and others are becoming non effective because the bacterias are becoming resistant.
9.  

Problem Statement

Every day, 1 in about every 20 hospitalized patients has an infection caused by receiving medical care. This is often referred to as a H.A.I.  (Hospital Acquired Infection) or a Nosocomial infection. Nosocomial infections are defined as infections occurring within 48 hours of hospital admission, 3 days of discharge or 30 days of an operation . This can be perceived as very ironic because the hospital is a health care facility that is meant to be safe and treat patients of infections, diseases, and etc., not a place to obtain one while being treated or being discharged. Nevertheless, through the proper awareness tactics, Continuing Education Units (CEUs), Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), and etc. this epidemic can be severely minimized although never fully destroyed.

Nosocomial Infections are said to come in a variety of sites from surgical, urinary, respiratory, vascular catheter, septicemia, microorganisms and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP)). Urinary infection sites can be classified as positive urine culture (1 or 2 species) with at least 10 bacteria/ml with or without clinical symptoms. They are said to be the most common infection site with 80% of them being associated with an indwelling bladder catheter. Although urinary infections often causes less rate of illnesses than the other nosocomial infections, it does lead to bacteria and death. The gram positive bacteria from the gut flora is usually responsible for either normal Escherichia Coli or acquired in hospital Multiresistant Klebsiella.

 Nosocomial Infections is an epidemic that inadvertently affects most of the population. Patients are directly infected because of the hospital environment while the rest of the population are infected through direct contact with the patients depending on the infection. This epidemic is a topic that should not be overlooked at all because of the fact that millions of people go to the hospital every day. As a result the statistical data of deaths and infections has a chance of increasing every day. This epidemic can be severely minimized although never fully destroyed. But this is an epidemic that affects everybody so in order to help achieve this mission of bringing it to a minimized demeanor, everybody from the hospitals, staff, patients, states, to even the government will have to be involved working as a team

The problem being investigated is the high rate of HIV/AIDS infections among adolescents age 3-19 although the education tactics,and  high risks of mortality and morbidity. The overall solution to this epidemic is using a different educational approach in music. The further methods include target population, program development, program implementation, program evaluation and the final program. This approach was based on the idea that music plays a huge role on adolescents so why not appeal to their interests to get a very important concept across.

Antithetical means directly approached or contrasted, mutually incompatible.
