Sunday‚ August 28‚ 1968 Dear Diary‚ I know it’s been a while‚ but I knew I needed to get some of the stuff out of my head. And I won’t mention that I might be in trouble with Momma‚ so I decided to come to my room to get out of her way. This has been quite a busy and hot day Sunday afternoon here in South Carolina. My family and I attended church services this morning and had a great time. The church was crowded and the music and sermon were quite uplifting. The minister preached for nearly

The year 2014 has been a significant year for me. I have received the encounter of my life. I’m lost for words but my heart is full.

A peek of His eyes has become my secret place of worship. Jesus said anyone who has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:9) and that He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation

Would these hands be tainted by the blood of the very person of my existence? All these rotten thoughts inside me are drifting me away from my manhood.

As a young child I almost never heard my mother raise her voice to my father. They have been married for over twenty years now and I would consider all of them to be happy. She had gone to college to become a journalist and that’s where she met my father. The two fell in love and got married before graduation. I suppose priorities or even interest changed because she never became a journalist. Selfishly‚ I’m glad she didn’t as I have had her full attention since I was born. A couple years ago I was

During the first day of my clinical‚ I had the opportunity to shadow my preceptor because of some technical problem I did not have my login‚ so I couldn’t have access to the patient records and all the information’s I needed. Consequently‚ I shadowed my preceptor. In fact‚ it was a learning since I did observe how she does her charting‚ reporting‚ how to start‚ organize and prioritizes during a shift. The culminant point of the day was the admission of a patient from the PACU. Before the patient

I dreamt of the rain. The same rain that filled my entire childhood. The same cold rain that showered down on the alleyways that I hid in‚ sloughing the grime off the walls and into whatever small crevice I would have been hiding in. I dreamt of the same drops of rain that poured like stones‚ the same stones that were thrown at the many beggars‚ like myself‚ living in the winding narrow streets of Aquillum. I found myself walking

The second week of my preceptorship brought many new experiences for me‚ and I can honestly say that each day I spend with my preceptor is better than the last. This week I focused on time management of a full patient load with continued documentation practice as well as admission and discharge procedures. I’ve had brief experiences in my past rotations assisting with discharge teaching and admission assessments however I have never been able to fully take charge and complete the process from start

November 17‚ 2015 was one of the most memorable days in my life. After eleven long years I was finally going to see my family in New Orleans.
