WHEATMORE’S FIRST DANCE

MENTOR
Mr. Scott Hager 5 years in Mental Health as a clinical Social

10 years as a Social Worker with Randolph Country Schools
20 years working in Experiential/Adventure Education Developing and Administering Outdoor Programs.
PRODUCT/MENTOR I learned that time management is very
important. You can’t take on to much at once because if you do you will get every stressed out and nothing will turn out right. I learned if you find your self getting to over worked then you just need to take a step back and chill down. Take a break and relaxed, and then take a fresh look at work you are working on, it helps out so much.
PRODUCT I spent 35.5hours working on this
product I felt it connected with my topic
because we were not just learning about social work we also got to help an organization that helps those families. It felt like we made a small impact on a family. Which was a great feeling
OBSTACLES Time management, writing a proposal,
working in a team, organizing an event One fact is that there are some many
different types of Social Workers and they cover a huge rang of occupations
Also that in 2007 42% of abused children are under the age of1
That it takes a lot more work then I thought to plan a high school dance
