“I can’t wait to be a senior” was something I would say whenever I walked into my anatomy class full of seniors who did nothing at all but every time I would Jesslyn would stop me, cock her eyebrow, make a ‘you are kidding me right?’ face and say “be careful what you wish for” and I’m now understanding what she meant. Learning responsibility, independence, and how to deal with stress is the most difficult for me coming into senior year.…

According to this test my communication style under stress consists of avoiding and controlling. From the accompanying table I find that these two less-than-perfect strategies of handling crucial conversations only affect me slightly. When it comes to avoiding, I do not ignore the real issues; however, I sometimes avoid subjects that are not necessary to solving the main conflict. For controlling, I do like to get my point across, but I will not force my ideas and opinions on others nor will I actively encourage people to share their ideas. None of the methods for controlling pertain to me.…
I am under so much medication on a daily bases, I can not care for myself at times. Some of the medications make me dizziness, nausauas. I have to wait until the medication is working before I begin any chores. Between the arisitis and the nerupathy, I am limited , I cannot walk, or sit upright any length of time. I believe when the weather changes, especially during the rainey spells, I wait up in pain and for the most part I am in pain most of the day and…

Time is winding down and the past thirty nine weeks has been nothing short but amazing. It has been full of different emotions and feelings. From the stretching of the skin to the sudden movement I have never felt before. It was all a new experience, but the feeling was indescribable. After a restless night, the sunrise appeared before I knew it. The pain was unbearable, but after several hours and a couple of good pushes you were here. I was extremely exhausted, but the relief was absolutely amazing. At first sight I fell in love with you. Not for how you look, just for who you are. I never thought I could feel affection like this. What is this? Is this how it's assume to feel or even resemble? It's kind of insane how you, only one individual,…
Fatigue greatly affects the patient’s quality of life, which can lead to depression and illnesses. In my opinion, the review included current knowledge, including essential findings about the non-pharmacologic management of fatigue. The study provided a great overview of the existing literature on a topic. However, the review mostly contained evaluation and findings from previous studies. As mentioned in the study, further research study is needed to evaluate the non-pharmacological intervention of fatigue. It is my belief that the review supported the need for study. Likewise, the review is an eye opening suggesting new research directions, to strengthen support for existing theories and identify patterns among existing research studies.…

These days I still value my grades, but do not value my personal worth solely on them.…

Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.…
The dark rings under Issac's eyes showed his fatigue as a man in with a checklist checked the damages that were done the previous night. It was strange to say the least, a door being knocked down and split in two, a window being blown out along with most of the wall, and it seemed like someone that ran a lawnmower in the garden.…
