Personal Narrative: Mind, Body, And Spirit

Decent Essays
I was emotionally impacted in a sense of happiness that these individuals have the opportunity to adapt in state of the art hospitals that are more than just a hospital and that these hospitals are in our own backyard. For me to properly analyze the videos and the lesson, I broke the subject into three areas—Mind, Body, and Spirit. Mind: The ability of one to have goals and objectives in athletics creates a therapeutic environment for the mind with unique and unexplainable healing power. It refocuses one’s mindset from self to the needs of others. Athletics creates an environment for motivation, dedication, community, commitment, responsibility, confidence, self-esteem, and over-all mental well-being. Body: People in motion, stay in motion.

The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

A vibrant imagination is accompanied by a crushing pain of reality that trails behind it ; I discovered this when I heard the words “no” . 10 years later, that conversation lingers in my head and holds not a cacophonous nor euphonious sound, but instead holds the neutral tone of reality, an alarm . As routine , at 6a.m., I hear a melodious alarm followed by the pitter-patter of my aunt who is getting ready for work.…
