first desktop computer in 2009 when I was able to afford purchasing all the components myself. In March of 2012 my desktop had a power surge and short-circuited the motherboard‚ rendering the rest of the components useless. I tore apart the desktop tower and inspected all my components to see what would be reusable. The power supply‚ video card‚ CD optical drive‚ and hard drive could all be salvaged. I placed all the salvaged components in an anti-static bag and stored them in a dry and relatively

The most thought provoking subject was Chapter 3 in Cross-Tower‚ which discusses poverty in America. In my clinical lens‚ I believe the one major risk factor amongst clients is the inability to provide adequate daily life resources for themselves‚ which perpetuates long-term physical and psychological problems. The inability starts with “seeking” assistance from systems that keeps individuals locked into a cycle of “seeking” to provide. The seeking can be food‚ clothing housing‚ and community resources
