WOWWW! What an experience, I really enjoyed this class. It was a breathe of fresh air after the tension of last semester! I really enjoyed learning the different techniques Alis and Sara shared with us. I feel really privileged to have worked with such an awesome group of colleagues, I especially enjoyed taking what I learned to the youth. This was my first time interacting with the teens in DC and it was great, and welcoming. Working with the youth at Metro Teen AIDS reconfirmed that I am definitely in the right profession. Seeing their enthusiasm encouraged me to bring my best to them.
What interests me about the topic “Adolescent Health Promotion”? Is it different from what you reported at the start of the class?
The youth are really relying on us to relate a clear and powerful message about HIV and AIDS. I also realized that I am not as disconnected from the youth as I thought I was. I just got to remember not to call them "children, babies, little people"! LOL! They are youth on their way to adulthood, but they are clearly not adults...BUT they do face some extremely adult situations unfortunately. :-(
How did this class impact me as a health professional? Where do I go from here?
I know I have my limitations as in what I will and will not teach, but the things that I am confident in addressing in this health issue will bring forth positive change. I am confident that the faith I posses in God will shine through with each message I present to the youth, if its about HIV/AIDS, Teen Pregnancy, Violence or whatever! So where do I go from here? I know I can do it, now I have more strategies to bring these messages across. Team Impact you ladies were awesome as well! After working with crazy groups and teams throughout my first year at GW, I honestly found it a blessing to work with you! May everyone keep the faith and be successful in all your future endeavors!
