Rocketkids Situation Speech
Good afternoon Mrs. Hawthorne,
In lieu of our previous meeting regarding the RocketKids incident, I decided I would write this email to you. Throughout our meeting, you expressed your disappointment in Rachael and I, as well as your dissatisfaction with our behavior. I am not writing this to change those feelings, I'm writing this to inform you of my disappointment within this program and consequently, with you.
During our meeting, you reintroduced the hierarchy that is organized within this system. As you know, I’ve been working here for three years now. This hierarchy was never foreign to me, albeit you did introduce several interesting points.
1) The hierarchy establishes a line of responsibility and power, what I never realized that it

You stated that we are all adults and should act like such. Bouncing off such concept, I'd appreciate the logical concept of being treated as an adult. At no point was I treated as such. Everyday feelings, ideas, and safety were jeopardized and ignored, this goes for me and my coworkers. You diminished these concerns, by labeling them as a simple “lack of communication and understanding”. Yet, when these issues were addressed, we were fed a sob story that ended with “this is who I am, so deal with it.” You noted that this is a professional setting, that is not how you professionally deal with complaints and concerns. Being treated as an adult doesn't entitle me too much, but it does entitle me to some sort of truth. That being said after speaking with the supervisor at Jim Ward, I learned that she observed some of our counselors neglecting to do their job at Rocket Kids. She identified Rachael and I, amongst others, as being excluded from that list. She states she told you that on the phone, and will tell you again if need be. While I don't believe that is necessary, I just want to note that you stated something completely the opposite in our meeting. Speaking of being treated as children, you said something to Kayla that didn't quite sit right with me. She asked you for advice on what to say to her mom, in order for her mom not to …show more content…
With that being said, if multiple staff have complained about one individual, shouldnt some sort of action been taken? On multiple occasions you said you are coming to deal with the situation, yet you never came. If you know your staff, especially rehires’, why would you not help them when they need assistance? Or believe them when they state there is an issue? Furthermore, I would also like to know how an individual with multiple DUI, assault, and battery charges, was hired to supervise a children's summer camp? Were you aware on several occasions he reeked of alcohol on the job? Mike, on more than one occasion, has ridiculed his assistant supervisors accent. Exclaiming “Shut that s*** up, nobody cares about that s***””Decide whether you want to speak english or patois”. Summer camp should be a safe space for kids and it's employees, not a place where we must hide our culture in fear of being ridiculed. This is not the message kids should leave each day with, yet it was the one they were forced to

    Professional School Counselors have a primary obligation to the students to treat them with dignity and respect and as unique individuals (ASCA, 2010). The initial meeting between the counselor and the student was at the request of the student’s mother. In my opinion the mother asked the counselor to seek information that was confidential. The counselor did seek the information and reported back to the parent with what she found. I understand that it is the counselor’s responsibility to provide parents/guardians with accurate, comprehensive information in an objective and caring manner, as is appropriate and consistent with ethical responsibilities to the student (ASCA, 2010). However, in this situation I do not feel that sharing the information was appropriate and violated the student’s right to privacy. The mother should have handled that situation at home. She essentially asked the counselor to spy on her daughter and report the information back to her. It was wrong for the parent to ask this of the counselor and it was even…

    When I was a young nurse it seemed like problems I saw were continually put on a back burner or not treated fairly. It’s important to be accountable for mistakes. I have worked on a surgical floor for 16 years. On occasion we will be pulled to another unit if they are really short. I was pulled to an oncology floor when I had been an RN for about 3 years. I was not familiar with the chemo drugs and their schedules. But my med sheet had times listed when to hang certain things so I didn’t ask the charge nurse but went about hanging my drugs. Later in the day the oncologist saw what happened and threw a huge fit. I wasn’t told specifically what I’d done wrong but just that I was incompetant and he didn’t want me ever taking care of his patients again. That was hard to hear because most of the time I was told I was great to be around and a great asset to my unit. I asked the charge nurse what I done wrong. She said certain things weren’t compatible and that I had put the patient at risk but she also told me not to worry, she wouldn’t “report” me. She just kept poo pooing me and told me she would take care of things. It literally seemed like everything was just swept under a rug. Later after my shift was over I went back down to my floor and talked with my clinical educator about what happened. She used to work oncology so I knew she would understand that units procedures. She was upset that I was assigned a chemo patient to…

    On January 28, 1986, NASA Space Shuttle orbiter Challenger exploded just seconds after its liftoff killing all seven passengers on board. In the time of mourning following the horrific space shuttle disaster, President Ronald Reagan delivered a speech that offered condolences to the families of the victims from both him and the rest of the country. Reagan, first, was on live television to give a report on the State of the Union, but he found it necessary to acknowledge the tragedy that had just taken place. President Reagan’s strong use of pathos, tone, and diction allows him to effectively portray his purpose in remembering the astronauts and to encourage future space exploration.…
