Manual Dexterity Essay

Decent Essays
Some activities I am proficient at that require manual dexterity include: sewing, nail art, coloring, typing and pottery. The ones I am most proficient at are sewing, typing and pottery. My grandmother in Venezuela taught me how to sew when I was 10 years old, and I has continued to do it since. My grandma lives in Venezuela so over the years I have typed many e-mails to her in Spanish, which I believe has also helped me with my manual dexterity.
But the activity I enjoyed the most is pottery. Ever since I took pottery in high school, I have continued going to pottery classes and have continued improving my manual dexterity.

    I can also agree with your opinion on soft skills being far more of importance that the hard skills. Without the true relationship of getting to know your patients and showing dignity and respect amongst them, it could cause an incredible set back on problem-solving, especially during ethical dilemmas. This could also mean that the status of the patient’s health could decline and cause a longer hospital stay. At that point, the hard skills would not have as much of an effect because of the social skills not being used in the manner as they…
