This is my review on the book Shattered Lives; This book was written by Camila Batmanghelidjh the founder of Kids Company; the registered charity was founded in 1996 with the aim to provide support to deprived inner city children. The author was born into wealthy family in Iran and arrived in England aged twelve where she attended private school. The book is sectioned into ten chapters, with an introduction and appendix at the end explaining who is who in the therapy world, and a guide to substance misuse. The book consists of several letters written to victims of abuse, which seem to be in the form of apologies to children who have been let down by the system.…
I find that this book, especially the last chapter, taught me not to take things at face value. I believe that I will be more cautious as to form an opinion based on just what the outer appearance is. In addition, it taught me that life is a copulation of events that continue to form and shape us to deal with challenges in the future. Each of these seamless events creates a stronger ability to deal with both the good and the bad adventures we…
Finally, I thought that the way the book was formatted was excellent. It really gave you a good idea of the different steps in the process, although I feel like that if it was a little shorter it would be better. I say this because even though the author explained herself in a great and detailed way, it was very long. Sometimes when I was reading, I got a little bored and wanted to move to the next event in the…
Through my courses, I have learned about research being done that involves generating and processing large sets of data, which require the assistance of outside facilities such INBRE, and have noticed a growing demand for people who understand the techniques necessary to process such data. However, there is limited resource available at university to learn such techniques, which is why I’m excited to learn more about the techniques at the internship. I am currently working in Dr.Cripps lab where I screen for transcriptional regulators of adult myogenesis in Drosophila by RNAi, and determine transcriptional factors of extradentin; my research has led me to dabble in the use of position weight matrices in the prediction of such factors, and I…

“Life is a wall; you help others by pushing them to climb and you’ll get pushed as well” Bernard Clive. In life when you when you help others you are also helping yourself. It is better in life to seek guidance, because other people can be older and smarter, they were in our shoes at one time and have experienced what we are going through now, and If our way does not work. Sometimes in life you need to seek guidance, because people are older and smarter than us. Other people have done things that you haven’t…
In my life I have always gone above what was expected to help others, whether I am holding a door open for someone coming in or giving someone a smile that may make their day. I have always wanted to help others whenever opportunity approaches. Helping others reminds me of when it rains and after the rain comes a rainbow. At this time I started with medical assistant being that I would be able to help many people with such things like making an appointment, recording what is needed for the physician to care for the patient, or taking someone’s temperature. While these are a great way to help patient’s further education would allow me to help patients even more.…

The author’s approach to helping the readers understand these basic concept and principles for success is simple—Whatever you do, you must apply that 10 times more in order to ensure you reach your true success and…

College is stressful for the majority- managing your time, then balancing out tests, quizzes, extracurriculars, projects, etc. The word itself creates mixed emotions of the unknown. From early on, it’s viewed as an exciting chapter in life until you reach the age of decision making, identifying your necessities, filling out applications, writing admission essays, and anticipating the possible letter of acceptance or rejection. In 2016, the book, Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be by Frank Bruni, an American journalist, gives a new perspective on a brutal and deeply flawed competitive path. He wrote the book after constantly hearing frantic conversations over where to attend college.…
Vision is my inspiration. I wanted to understand how vision affects perspective and allows for every person to be unique, to mold their own personality, and to have an individual outlook on life. It is what led me to pursue optometry. The more I learned about optometry the more I came to appreciate the profession and its goal in improving patients’ vision. Now, most people take this to mean that an optometrists sole job is prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses.…
