Titusville Project/Presentation,[object Object],Tonya Thomas,[object Object],ucfmom1@hotmail.com,[object Object],04/24/2010,[object Object],EEX 4070,[object Object]
Introduction to the Setting,[object Object],The area I chose to volunteer in is an area that I grew up in: Titusville, Florida.,[object Object],The people I choose to assist are individuals who vary in their degrees of  inabilities. But undoubtedly excel in many other areas of their lives. ,[object Object]
Titusville,[object Object]
Demographics,[object Object],A,[object Object]
Demographic Continued ,[object Object]
Fact: ,[object Object],There is a near equaling of races throughout (Titusville) Brevard County.,[object Object], However, the economic and educational differences in these ethnic groups  are polar opposites. ,[object Object]
Disability Status of Individuals in Titusville (NONINSTITUTIONALIZED),[object Object],5-20 years old     726 or 8.7%,[object Object],21-64 years old  4,347 or 20.2%,[object Object],Over 65 years old  3,228 or 41.1%,[object Object]
EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT,[object Object],Less than 9th grade 1,163 or 4.1%,[object Object],9th -12th no diploma 3,259 or 11.5%,[object Object],High school Graduate (GED included) 8,632 or 30.4%,[object Object],Some College no degree 7,316 or 25.8%,[object Object],Associates Degree 2,585 or 9.1%,[object Object],Bachelors Degree 3,766 or 13.3%,[object Object],Graduates or Professional Degree 1,684 or 5.9%,[object Object]
Personal Demographics,[object Object],My name is Tonya Thomas, and I am Senior at the University of Central Florida. My major is Interdisciplinary  Studies, and my minor is Education. I have four beautiful (aggravating) children and I am currently working as a HR Coordinator for a mid sized company in Rockledge, FL.  I have always known that my destiny would be to serve others in some captivity.  And after completing this project I have no doubt that that is what I will succeed at professionally. ,[object Object]
Participant Demographics,[object Object],The Participants in this project were African American ranging in ages 10 to 65 years old. ,[object Object],All were residents of Titusville.,[object Object],Disabilities included ADHD, a double amputee, and woman who suffered a brain aneurism which left her right side immobile. ,[object Object]
Engagement Activities ,[object Object]
Engagement Activities,[object Object]
Reflection,[object Object],        My heart has always been open to helping others; and I’ve always felt compelled to the field of educating through sociology.  I love the feeling of giving to someone a gift that cannot be bought with any amount of money.  This experience enabled me to do just that; to give priceless gifts.,[object Object],         This experience effected change in my priorities.  After graduation, I have vowed to devote at least a few hours each weekend to people like those involved in this project.  One would be amazed at how much a person’s mental state can change with just the thought that someone in the world truly cares for them. ,[object Object],         I’ll have to admit that in the beginning I only had the mindset of satisfying a course requirement.  However, as time went on, I realized that me, an average woman with nothing uniquely special about me was creating anticipation and joy in the lives of others.  Now that is something I will never forget. By far the biggest impact on me was created by the people who I thought I was helping, who were in essence helping me. ,[object Object]
Reflection Continued ,[object Object],Reading to a child who may only hear stories at school makes a difference, taking time out of my busy schedule to listen to a disabled widower reminisce of her days of glory makes a difference,  taking a disabled person to the grocery store or getting their grocery list and going to pick up the groceries for them makes a difference, tutoring a child makes a difference, doing a disabled woman’s hair makes a difference.,[object Object],       I will take away from this experience the knowledge that I can make a difference in the lives of     others;  and no matter how insignificant I may think a half hour of my time is, it can be truly momentous to another.  ,[object Object],       No matter how small, I can make a difference.  ,[object Object]
