Veterans Need The Help



It is important to have empathy towards social issues that impact our community, because as we may think that it won't happen to us or to our families, we life in a community that things  like veterans are not given medical attention. That many of them are dying from the medication delays. The veterans medical situation is one of the biggest problems happening now. 


Why are there more than 7,000 veterans in the block list to be attended ? Why isn’t the government doing something to help the 2.4 million armed force men and women that have come back from serving and join the civilian life. These veterans are not getting the attention they should after all the hard work they have done to maintain American citizens safe. 


The VA is the one hospital causing medicals delays. More than 125,000 U.S. veterans are being denied mental health services by the VA. The VA have also manipulated lists to hide real health care wait times. A total of thousands and possibly far more have to face the same fate. The waiting, and dying, at the hands of a company that does not care to does who brought peace in the hardest way someone can. The VA is not only making veterans wait for medical attention that is urgent but at least 19 veterans have died because of delays in simple medical screenings like colonoscopies or endoscopies, at various VA hospitals or clinics. Who as to fill out a 23-page claim to get care, or wait months, even years to get an appointment at the VA. 

Veteran dye  waiting for medical attention. The VA data shows that those who receive mental health care from the VA are less likely to commit suicide than those who don't get care. But is the problem, that many veterans are not receiving mental health care. Many veterans attempted to their life. For example, veteran burned himself alive outside VA clinic. Situations like this happen when veterans are not given the attention they need to get better. And let's not talk about the dozens of veterans that had died while waiting for care at the Phoenix VA. Which was, unfortunately, just the tip of the iceberg. In 2014, 20 veterans committed suicide daily. 

Less stop ignoring what is going on in our community and less start helping does veterans that need medical attention as soon as possible. Less make the VA acknowledge the help, does that have fought for the safety American citizens have.

Encouraging


Americans parents many times they  do not have the strength to tell their kids that they have done wrong, and they do not show them how to amend it. Many parents think that if they tell their kids they have done wrongs they would not be able to do better on the future that they would be vulnerable to do better and be successful in the future.

When you tell a kid “ You must be very intelligent.” You make them believe they are and they would many times chose the hard problems so they look good in front of others. But in many occasions the kids that have been told they must be very intelligent, they tend to do good to start with, but they end up doing worse. After the kids do bad, they tend to doubt their self, and start thinking they are not as intelligent as they have been told.


In other hand, kids that parents tell them “ You must work hard to do better.” Many times tend to do best. As resource has shown kids that know if they do bad they can fix it by looking into the problem. Kids that have been told they must work hard on a problem, they take the easy problems which would give them more intelligent and learn more about them than the problems that are hard to do and they learn nothing about it. They can take many tests and do bad in the first try but  after they look over it and learn what they did wrong they do much better than the kid that had been told that “ they are very intelligent.”

Giving kids a  label of being smart does not prevent them from performing at their best, many things is why they end up doing bad.
I have experience that many times when you tell students that they are very intelligent. They stop training their best and just focus in the part they are good at and not the ones they can improve, students that have been tell they are intelligent they do the things they are good at, many students are good at reading and focus all in that subject. But in courses that they are not so good they give up when they can not do a simple problem, like a math problems.

Since i was little my mom has always tell me to try my best, and keep trying until i figure out. It does not matter if i am or i am not intelligent, if i try my best in problems that seem difficult at the end i would figure out what was i doing wrong.

Parents have to have the courage to tell their kids in what way they have done wrong and in the ways they have done good or even the best. This does not mean that you should not tell your kid that you love them, this mean that parents should have the strength to tell their kids if they should keep working to do their best or that they did good but can do better.
