In “Practicing Medicine Can Be Grimm Work”, Valerie Gribben compares and contrasts the uses in which medical textbooks and fairytales have assisted her in the field. Gribben states that her technical, perplexing medical textbooks aided in treating her patients’ physical health, but lacked information to treat her patients’ metaphysical health.

The baby bird starts to observe a family of hermit crabs dig into the sand and duck while the tide crashes over them. The curious baby bird slowly follows, and as the tide approaches the baby bird panics and copies the hermit crabs, digging swiftly and ducking into the sand as the tide came. As the tide flowed over, the baby bird was able to locate all the calms beneath the sand. This excited the baby bird and resulted in the baby bird to start digging quickly and efficiently to not only provide food for itself, but also for its mother and the other birds within its flock. This short exhibits that we should not give up right away, and supports that if we continue to strive towards a goal: we can achieve it and more. About 7 years ago, I began to take interest in photography. I begged my parents for a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera, but they refused to purchase one for me because it was a “starving artist” job. However, I persisted despite their ideology. I reserved three years of birthday and Christmas money and then some to purchase my own DSLR camera. After obtaining my camera, I continued to strive and wondered my through neighborhood and surrounding cities to photograph and capture various environments and mediums. Furthermore, I developed my own website to showcase my work more conveniently to family and friends. I also got myself a photography gig working on the weekends for a
