Personal Narrative: Six Step Dad

Decent Essays
About a year ago my step dad came home with a dog. It was probably six weeks old I'm not for sure. When he brought him home I had a holy-cow-look on my face. We did not have a name for him so we decided to name him after my great grandpa his name was Harvey. My step dad told me he had bought it for me and him to go hunting so he could be our hunting dog. So every day I would try to take him outside and play fetch with him but he really didn't understand the concept of bringing the ball back he would run a after it but not bring it back. So we stopped that and he would just play inside all winter he would run down the hallway then slip and slide the rest of the way down the hallway. He would like to try and bite people. That didn't go over

    As I was observing the relationship between the client and his daughter, it made me recall feelings of my relationship with my father. I found myself creating biases to form connections. Through this experience, I realized that I need to learn specific language skills for counselling in Punjabi as well as learn ways of appropriately showing an understanding without the focus on self-involvement. I also found learning about PTSD in older adults and the effective interventions used, such as CBT very useful for future practices. It is important for workers to acknowledge beliefs and to be sensitive to age-specific issues (Clapp & Beck, 2012).…

    My life in 800 words… It seems like an impossible feat to describe someone’s lifetime in such a small amount of words: the good, the bad, the days of adventure, the days of crying, and all the days in between. Throughout my life I have been blessed to have parents who saw the value of education and pushed me to do the best I can. They suffered greatly for my education and by sending my to St. John’s Prep, they both suffered financially as well. My childhood can be argued as the opposite of the stereotypical American family dynamic.…

    I believe that a majority of my generation engaged in ‘quiet or secret’ delinquency – it was not brazened and just out in the open as you see now. And, it was NEVER the type of trouble that involved the law! Quite frankly, my daddy would have beat me to within an inch of my life if I had embarrassed him in that way! Raising my own children – eleven years between oldest and youngest – I experienced a considerable difference in the attitudes of ‘children’.…
