Students identified positive aspects of this placement: I believe this will be an amazing experience since I am a veteran and will not only benefit scholastically, but will benefit me in my own healing process. |
|
Students identified difficulties typical in this placement: I may encounter issues with veterans not fully cooperating with the interview process, since hostility and anger are common among veterans. I will also run into issues where I will not be able to help veterans through no fault of mine or theirs. I will also have to deal with the lower socioeconomic classes and the difficulties involved with that. |
