Personal Narrative: My Distorted Foot
My Distorted Foot

The Story of My Search Three years ago I was told, to have flat feet, high arches and an extra bone in my foot. Me being my curious self, I was wondering what this all means and what this could cause in my life? “Could I continue playing soccer?” “How long have I had this?” “Can I still do physical activities?”
I already knew that I had an extra bone, because of the everlasting pain that it would put me in when trying shoes that were not wide enough for my foot. I also knew that my flat feet case, seems to be genetic because my half sister, and dad both have flat feet as well.
Since I am on a soccer team, as well as pretty physically active, I wanted to find out more about what it really means to

Or is it a long and tedious job that takes hours to do and lots of precision? This led me the urge to look it up, and let me say I feel that I was close with my prediction. The surgical treatment for removing the Accessory Navicular from the foot, involves separating the tendon from the navicular and removing the extra bone. Then the tendon is reattached to the correct ligament and the wound is sutured. In conclusion the surgery can take anywhere from thirty minutes to around an hour and a half. Finally, what is this so called “Accessory Navicular?” Turns out that the accessory navicular is indeed an extra bone or piece of car tiled get located on the inner side of the foot just above the arch. Reflection on My Search
While doing this research project I learned a few things, I forced myself to write small on Notecards which I am not good at, making myself try something new which was interesting. I noticed that I am getting better at organizing my Notecards and information that I wrote down. In addition, I got a lot of information that will help me lead a fulfilling, enjoyable life, despite having flat feet and high

    My insider/outsider partner was Alicia Garcia. As you can tell by her last name she is Hispanic. I don’t have many Hispanic friends and I am not use to their culture. Starting on the project Alicia told me a little a bit about her heritage. One of the things I asked her was, “Do you celebrate the day of the dead?” I know that might seem like a crazy question to ask, but I the only thing that I truly knew about her culture is what I seen on TV. Alicia said that they do celebrate it to some extent. They don’t actually go to a grave site and light candles for their fallen relatives, but instead have a feast in honor of them. Alicia is the first generation American Hispanic.…

    At birth, a new born infant has around 300 bones, whereas the average adult has only 206 bones (this can change depending on each individual). The difference comes from the small bones that fuse together during the growth period; an example of this would be the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column. The sacrum consists of five bones which are separate during the early stage of a child’s development, but these will fuse together into a solid structure in the later years. An infant will be born with zones of cartilage, these are called epiphyseal plates, and they are segments of bone that allow further growth. Growing is usually completed between ages 15 – 19, at which time the epiphyseal plates of long bones close off, allowing no further growth.…

    I was 6 years old and my brother was 11, it was a normal day in the Gomez family. My mom was at work and my dad was watching T.V. with our baby sister.

I remember we were sitting on the kitchen tile floor throwing stuff back and forth to each other occasionally looking at the T.V. in the other room. We were throwing balls, toys, erasers; just about anything that was in reach.…

    Sky’s legs are about two times the length of her torso, and her arms fall past her hip well into her mid-thigh in length. According to our textbook, “Much of the change in body’s proportions and appearance is due to the lengthening of the long bones of the arms, legs, and fingers (Olsen, Reginato, & Wang, 2000).” The bone development process ossification plays a critical role in the strengthening, hardening, and generating new tissue by the growth plates of the bones which are critical in children’s growth. Some of Sky’s other visible characteristics are her black curly hair, and large almond shaped brown eyes. She has a big grin, and although her front tooth is currently loose hasn’t lost any baby teeth…

    For as long as can remember I have had problems with my knee. It all started back in middle school, when we were playing basketball in our math class. My teacher at the time, Mr. Siem, would play with us. On this particular day, we were on opposing teams and he was bringing down the ball. When I went to defend him, he never stopped and he ran into me. His knee landed on mine with all of his weight. I knew right away that something was wrong.…

    The game of soccer has always come natural to me. Competing in the game of soccer is what I love to do. Being physical is something I’ve never been scared of.

Being physical in the game of soccer always comes with the risk of getting hurt. Two years ago I took that risk of getting hurt, and getting hurt is exactly what happened.…

    When I was in second grade I learned that I loved competing with people and being good at things. I joined a gymnastics gym near my house in second grade when i was 9, and started competing when i was 10. My mom told me that I have to do well in school if I was going to be focused on a sport along with school, or she would take me out of gymnastics. Soon enough, I wasn’t doing so well in social studies and comm skills. I was scared my mom would make me quit, But I worked as hard as I could so get back up there. Focusing more on school than outside activities, I got that grade back up and I continued with my favorite sport. I love gymnastics, but I don’t let it get in the way of school because school always comes first.…

    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,…

    Week six was another amazing week that brought new experiences to my plate. On Wednesday evening, my clinical instructor and I ran Sr. Barn Buddies. This is a group of six teenagers that have autism. These individuals are great, but need help with appropriate social interactions and some personal care. Four boys and two girls attend the one and a half hour session every Wednesday evening. I was not really sure how to feel about doing this session because some of them can have behaviors and they are twice my size. These kids were awesome! They each seem to be somewhere different on the spectrum and all have something to offer to one another. These kids need help with socializing with each other, when they are at school or in the community. We worked on a project together, making sail boats that we could have a discussion about. If one of them needed help with part of it, they had to ask nicely. They could ask Duane or myself for help or ask one another for help. It was pretty neat to see them ask questions, offer advice and for myself to witness the positive interaction throughout the evening.…
