Hello everyone!

# data[].attributes.body
Hello class, my name is Roslyn Williams. I was born and raised in Flint, MI, and spent a few of my early adult years in the East Lansing/Lansing area before transitioning back to Flint.

My goal for this class is to excel while gaining a deeper understanding of health care policies and how they impact the overall outcomes of the U.S. health care system. By the end of the semester, I look forward to being able to say that I am one step closer to earning my degree.

Three words I would use to describe my personality are kind-hearted, organized, and stubborn. I can highlight my strengths, but I also believe in being honest about my flaws.

In my free time, I enjoy reading the Bible and talking to God, getting lost in a good rom-com or investigative book, and, at times, simply doing nothing at all. I currently work in Administration at Hurley Medical Center.

P.S. I had every intention of creating a video as the assignment requested. However, when I turn on my camera the screen is black.

Hello everyone, my name is Jessica Milledge. I am currently working toward my bachelor’s degree in health care management, and I have already earned an associate degree in Biological Science. I decided to continue my education because I enjoy learning about healthcare and helping others, and I hope to eventually own my own business in the future. In the past, I attended two universities while also working two full-time jobs, which taught me a lot about responsibility, discipline, and time management. However, I have learned the importance of pacing myself and creating a healthier balance between school, work, and personal life so that I can fully focus on my education and long-term goals.

For this class, I hope to gain a better understanding of the course material, strengthen my skills, and learn information that I can apply to both my academic and professional career. I also look forward to connecting with classmates, participating in discussions, and having a positive and successful semester with everyone.

Hi everyone. I am just getting home from attending or chaperoning my special-needs daughter’s prom which was today. I checked my email and saw that Canvas was back up and that I had a message about not seeming engaged in the course so I quickly jumped on here. I already had plans to attend her prom. I told the school about two weeks ago, so I hope that I can be excused. Very tired now after walking her around the dance floor and trying to do the Cupid Shuffle while pushing her in a wheelchair…So my plans for the summer and the fall are to spend time with family. Things have been very busy and stressful so I definitely want to spend more time with my kids and my loved ones. I have some people that I need to be there for and be supportive of that are having some health issues. I just attended a graduation ceremony at Detroit Mercy for a very close loved one. Things have been very busy this week a lot of graduation stuff. My major is psychology. I plan to pursue my masters degree in the fall at U of M Dearborn. Before starting that program, I wish to enjoy the summer with my kids and loved ones and reflect on everything that we’ve been through. I hope that we can spend that time slowing down and taking some deep breaths and looking back at life and where we are. I am also in the process of starting a new job which is in the field where I will be hopefully working for a very long time, which is ABA therapy. So I’m now a behavior tech and I’ve been doing about two months of training and it’s been going good. I enjoy working with the kids, getting a good laugh, and being silly. Prior to this I was working as a substitute teacher. I will miss that role and I have not let go just yet. But this is me and this is the direction I plan to go. So good luck to all of you on your endeavors and your futures. May peace be with you. Take care.

Hello everyone! I made several attempts to record a video, but the reverb was horrible! I tried to troubleshoot the issue, but there's apparently nothing wrong, according to Microsoft. Insert eye roll. I did not want to subject all of you to the warped sound. :) Apologies for the lack of video, but I did manage a picture. :)

I live in Holly and currently unemployed, but seeking a part time job that complements my schedule as a full time student.

My expectations for this class and school in general is to be the best student I can possibly be and absorb as much as I can from the experience.

Although I don't have much free time and there's so much I like to do and enjoy, I focus on spending time with my girls and appreciating small moments every day, like drinking coffee on the porch or hanging out with my chickens on their backyard walkabouts. This summer, I'm going to set up a backyard camp so I'll be able to fall asleep to the sound of the wind in the leaves and wake up to birdsong and still have the ability to concentrate on my studies every day.

Although I always find it hard to describe my qualities or personality, I have given it serious thought and came up with determined, resilient, and compassionate. Those are qualities that have definitely helped me through life to this point and will continue to be important ones in the future.

I wish you all the best this semester and in your educational and personal pursuits!

Hello, my name is Ruth Tate, and my major is Health care Management. I live in Taylor MI and am a full-time student, and this class is a requirement part of my program.  My anticipated graduation is between 2027-2028. My long-term career goals are to earn my bachelor and hopefully continue to pursue my master's.  I used to work in the hair salon shop, so I have somewhat of a marketing experience. My main goal is financial security and finding a great career that fits my skills and aspirations.

My hobbies are cooking, dancing, listening to old school music and afrobeats music and I love to travel.  I am a transferred student, and it is my first time taking the fall classes at the UMV.

One major problem in the healthcare system we will face is not having enough doctors, nurses and other medical workers. As we all get older and need care, clinics and hospitals will need more staff, but many workers are quitting or retiring.  This could lead to longer waiting times, stressed-out workers, and lower quality care.

We can fix the problem by using better technologies, and less stressful work by hiring more people, training people properly and creating a positive environment.
