Anita and Me

and the way I can improve upon my relationships. I will learn how I communicate, why I communicate the way I do, and what I can do to improve my communication with others. Interviewing these three people, my sister, boyfriend, and teacher, will help me learn more about myself and how I communicate with others in different types of relationships. Open Self Oftentimes I will reveal a lot of my open self to those I am consider…

My face would be blank as I stared into the emptiness of a white wall thinking, “I swear to god it’s making fun of me if it could talk.” I could feel my brain sautéing from all the depression. The sharp agonizing pain that never went away in my lower abdomen would make me cringe and cry. It felt as if a knife grazed the inside of my muscle, then didn’t take the time to warn you as it pushed down. In all reality it was hell, fiery burning hell;…

you come across something-a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things-which you thought special and particular to you,” (Hector , in The History Boys, Alan Bennett) I personally love reading, for many reasons but the main reason is that it makes me forget about my problems. When I 've had a bad day and feel like my world is turning upside down, I take about half and hour go to my room, pick up a book and get lost in it. There is just no words to explain it. I loose track of time and…

because my family always exposed it to me. I believe music is a great way to heal and that lead me to choose the article, “The Healine Power of Music.” by William Thomas and Gottfried Schlaug for my essay. This article explains the healing powers of music and it can be used for disorders, therapy and other disabilities. When I was little, I was diagnosed with ADHD and turrets. During school, I always struggled to pay attention and my diagnosis prevented me from happiness. The symptoms I…

THE WORST TAUGHT ME THE BEST Triggered by the ethnic cleansing policy in Bhutan, my parents fled the country. I was born and raised in a Bhutanese refugee camp in Nepal. I still remember the nights in the refugee camp when we slept without eating anything because there was simply nothing to eat. Our family, like most others in the refugee camp, relied on aids provided by different humanitarian agencies. We also relied on the kindness of local people who would sometimes give us clothes. The…

We all have a calling and a purpose in life, and mine became evident to me when I read the book, Mistaken Identity. This book is about a girl who was involved in a serious car accident and suffered serious injuries, including head trauma. Part of the book focused on the demanding therapy she underwent, to be able to carry out tasks we all take for granted, such as simply writing her name with the occupational therapist. This part of the book inspired my interest and I felt this overpowering…

This again made me feel better and less nervous as the whole time I was there it was indeed more of a chat rather than an interview which I believe went well. I kept calm and answered any questions clearly and joined in with the discussion as there wasn’t that many questions for me to answer as it was a chat. We discussed the placement and what I would be doing, I was given examples of what past students…

trade those goods with another tribe who had plenty of corn and cotton to give away. This part of history really captured my attention when I was younger and I still find the idea intriguing. I think this concept is brilliant and makes more sense to me than the similar…

told me I was never going to get bored because every day was going to be different. My boss lied. Every day is about the same. Sure the people are different but, they all pretty much fit into the molds of their clones from yesterday. Day after day, after day, the customers make my life a living hell. When I first started, I loved my job. I was always happy to be there, at that drab grey clothing store with its concrete floors and warehouse like interior. I probably loved it because it gave me a…
