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.

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.

Misogynous is the hatred or dislike for women or girls.

Antithetical means directly approached or contrasted, mutually incompatible.

A pedagogue is a teacher, specifically a strict and pedantic one.

Gifted Hands

Dr. Benjamin Carson was a famous neurosurgeon who first successfully separated a pair of conjoined twins at birth. He later went on to become an author and accomplishing several other achievements such as receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Bush in 2008. He also went on to hold several leadership positions like professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics, youngest major division director in Johns Hopkins history, and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Craniofacial Center. I have always admired Dr. Carson, and look to him as a role model since seeing the autobiographical film Gifted Hands. I admired it because of the similarities between his adversities and the ones i have faced in my life. Despite their financial adversities his mother never gave up on him and his brother but rather taught them that education was the key. His story is inspirational because he grew up poor most of his life in the ghetto but through hard work and determination went on to accomplish so much. One of his accomplishments was being accepted to Yale University on a full ride scholarship because of his high SAT scores and grades. Furthermore as a young black man he beat the odds and statistics of not ending up in jail but rather exceeding them and succeeding. He also broke the cycle of his father walking out on his mom by getting married to a wonderful wife and having children and teaching them what his father never did. He has also been a role model for me because like him i love working with my hands in performing dissections and hopefully surgeries in the near future. I have dissected an array of specimens such as frogs, pigs, owl feces, starfish, squid, and etc. Moreover, like him i am majoring in psychology because it is such an interesting field in thinking critically with the most important organ being the brain. His story is inspiring in proving that anything is possible with an education no matter the situation. I hope to one day be at least half the surgeon he was when  my opportunity comes.
