ANSWER
The overall experience at Gage Park High school was great, this school was very diverse. The school was huge on the inside, this school was unexpectedly filled to capacity. The school seemed fairly updated and did not need any repairs, the presentation was held in the first gym. There were an equal amount of restroom on each floor, they were clean and very spacious. This was a good experience by providing information to these teenagers. I can tell from the presentation most of these students did not have any knowledge of STI, and how they can protect themselves, so I was happy to be a part of this experience and explaining any questions that is concerning to them. The most problematic, we were told at first condoms could not be given to students from the educators as well as the principle did not allow a condom demonstration. There were a large amount of students, we were testing each period with a small amount of time. A few students did not take this education serious, some had bad attitudes and were not receptive to learning any of the information, but some students were interested in the information in had questions. The experience could have been better, if the principal would have supported the demonstration portion of the presentation, it just seems like he was just allowing this testing because he had too. The security guard had questions, he really did not understand why students needed to be tested if they were abstinent. I can tell that he really did not agree with the services that was being provided. One other approach that can be used is educating the teachers as well as the students, so they can provide support and answer questions if needed and leaving supplies for students that feel uncomfortable about getting protection. • Fourth Journal: Identify vulnerable populations in your own community.
