Okay so my life has been pretty fucked up ill admit. One of my first memories that i can recall is cheyenne being born, but i only remember looking at her through the tubey box thing. But if im being honest my true first memory is when cheyennes dad molested me. Then my life just turned to a series of family related drama. I learned to be head strong and independent very early on. Also i learned to pick my battles to subtly fight for survival. All in all my childhood was pretty good. Grew up in the rurals of west tennessee, had summers outside, friends, family, and i never fell for my troubles. well things started to change at what seemed like an incredulous rate. My mom started dating, but it wasnt really dating. She was hoeing around im not …show more content…

Ill never forget how distraught he looked. I then wake up once more with one of jasmines family members putting a pillow under my neck. After this there is some gaps in my memory, but ill try my best.i wake up and suddenly everything fades away, there is no wreck, theres nothing except for the sky and peace. i think i imagined this but i thought i could even see the miniscule details of the rain drops. I remember my mom being there telling me everything was going to be okay, but i already knew that i was just worried about jasmine. I wasnt in pain or anything just there. My mom kept staring below my waist line, but unfortunately i couldnt move my neck to see where or what she was so furiously focusing her attention to. Although i remember trying to move my leg and it felt so surreal, its quite impossible to accurately explain. It felt almost as though there was a hole in the ground and when i moved my leg it went below the ground into that …show more content…
The next day Haley and them came to visit. I had never wanted to see haley and patrick so much in my life. Haley even went with me for my...cat scan? I think it was a cat scan. I also felt pain then but it was very brief. I dont clearly recall anything after that...only blips and moments. I remember when they made me get out of bed the first time and it was incredible. I knew how to walk obviously, but i just couldnt get my muscles to cooperate with my know-how. I had muscle memory, but weak muscles. I also remember worrying about jasmine alot. And i was in a wheel chair and we went around Vanderbuilt. I remember the stage which had flowers that had something to do with dolly parton. And i think what i liked most was the koi fish. And the historic statues and memos that were included. One thing that stands out to me was that whenever i would here my grandmother i would amost be in tears her voice just annoyed my nerves to no end. She just yapped so much i couldnt handle it. And then they told me that i could go home. We had to wait for nanny to get the car and i felt so weird. I was in a vulnerable situation against able

Doctors, nurses, surgeons, really anyone in the medical field spend their lives, changing people's lives and may not even know it.…

    I awoke to the sound of beeping, a constant yet rhythmic noise that made me feel a sense of being alive. As my eyes adjusted to the light I noticed the windows weren't like the ones in my room; a wave of panic washed over me. " Good Morning Baiju, do you know where you are?" a soft voice asked in an calming tone. It was the nurse from before the procedure, which triggered my memory.…

    Essentially, the research suggested that children suffer from Childhood amnesia and were in general not able to remember events that occurred before the age of seven due to the increase of new cells in the hippocampus called neurogenesis. This neurogenesis in the hippocampus created newer and more efficient networks that overwrite these old childhood memories. The early brain of a child is working, in that they are storing memories, but it is not as efficient as an adult brain is at storing memories. Therefore, the natural process of making their brains more mature and efficient overrides the old childhood memories and hence you get childhood amnesia. They also suggested that early memories that are remembered later in life are memories that…

    First Recollections Second grade was my first recollection of race. Prior to this event I obviously knew that I was African American, but never seen it as a disadvantage or advantage. My friends and I were playing basketball and I accidentally elbowed one of my classmates in the nose. After elbowing one of my classmates I remember being very apologetic, but the kid that I elbowed totally blew up. I do not remember exactly what he said, but it went something like this “All you black people are fucking stupid and like to fight..…

    Essay On Historical Memory

    • 2175 Words
    • 9 Pages

    WEEK ONE- Introductions After attending class for the first time on Wednesday, August 24th, I can honestly say that the topic of historical memory had never crossed my mind. In previous thoughts I had always imagined history and memory as synonymous. In order to better understand my thought process, I have broken down memory and history and what they meant to me before and after our first class. Before class started my definition of memory by itself was simply remembering thoughts or actions from the past. In class we all made a mutual decision that memory was the recollection of past events, but after reading the article by David Thelen I would add something about how memory, unless classified, is an individual recollection and is susceptible…

    When one thinks of memory, they usually think of past events that happened or something that they had learned. Although one can recall certain memories, can they recall every single detail? This semester, we were asked to recall the events of a day that happened six weeks prior to the beginning of class. While some students could explain some details of what they had done that day, not all could be certain. Details may not seem to be that important when telling a story from a childhood experience or maybe the retelling of a joke, but what if a person was made to recall a memory that took place six weeks ago?…
