Chairs

On February 3rd, 2016 I went to the Essex County Welfare Department. Essex County is located in the northeastern part of the state of New Jersey (essexcounty.org, 2016). There, I completed an observation on the atmosphere, the diverse population entering the facility, how the staff reacted to their customers, and gave careful consideration on somethings this division could enhance. This paper will include a detailed overview of my experience when visiting this department. I decided to car pool…

A. Summary of my experience My first experience in the wheelchair was Sunday September the 25th when I made a trip to Wal-Mart in Nacogdoches. I got out of my truck and walked to the back and let the tailgate down. I then retrieved the wheelchair out of the back of the truck and then sit down. There was five people standing four cars up from where I parked. They glared at me and I knew what was going through their minds, as I passed I could hear them talking although I do not know what was said…

counter. The warm and sugary scent in the atmosphere took over my sense of smell. The feeling of comfort and safeness arises in my body as I settled in the microfiber couch. After she poured her steamy cup of coffee, she situates herself in her leather chair beginning our colloquy. As I consulted her about my struggle in school, she sat there with open ears, truly listening to my problems; only offering advice for my best interest. As I struggled to understand where I went wrong, my mom shook…

It is January of 2005, and I am on my way to Columbus for my first chemotherapy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of last year. My two sons, Jeff and Jason are coming with me. Jeff driving, Jason sitting in the passenger seat and I 'm in the back seat of the 2002 GMC Envoy. I glance out the window and watch as we pass the Shoe. It is chilly outside and the winds were powerful on this winter day, snows covering the trees and the ground, it’s a beautiful sight of a winter wonderland.…

Going back and forth Carolina pleasantly sits in her rusty rocking chair as she tells her pregnant niece about her lost childhood and knits a crochet scarf for her. Suddenly, she wants to finish the scarf before the sun goes down but she can’t avoid drifting her eyes towards the window and looking at a giant tree dripped by the early morning dew. The tree has aged immensely and it somehow resembles her, she thinks the texture of the bark looks like the wrinkles on her body. Fifty years living in…

Introduction Air travel provides the best value of comfort and convenience in long distance travel. If you are a corporate figure, you are likely to make more than a dozen flight trips annually. Flying may be fun and fast, but at that high altitude, the body has to acclimatize and adapt to a new environment. Frequent flyers experience jet lag and fatigue, side effects of the flight experience. While these two are the most common, flying carries other health risks. Failure to address these risks…

as important as the seats. Lastly, think of the other decorations that will make for an optimal home theater seating experience. Do you want a classic feel with leather seats, dark walls, and sconces? Do you want a modern feel with bright colored chairs and wall paint with some unique artwork on the walls? Although you can create any look you want, browns, blacks, beiges, and creams are the most universal looks for seating in a home theater. You don't want the look of your home theater seats to…

the smell of her peppermint perfume mixed with the rose was a one of a kind scent that I could only smell when she was around. Her roses were always beautiful and as she continued to get sick I would keep tending to the garden and she would sit in a chair outside and watch me and smile as I continued to do the things that she loved to do with me. This reminds me of the story we read in this course “Give me Five More Minutes” written by Christy De’on Miller. My Grandmother continued to get sick…

If you're handy with a sewing machine, there are lots of ways you can recycle what you already have to make beautiful and inexpensive home decorating items. I rarely buy ready-made bedding, window treatments or decorative pillows, cushions or couch covers. I have done some fun decorating and created a decorator touch by recycling or adding to home décor items I already have. In one project I redid our spare guest bedroom. I love the toile pattern which can be quite expensive when purchased in…

As I walked down the hallway of the Memorial Union, I search for the staircase that will bring me to my haven for the next hour and a half. After I expressed worry to my friend that I would have nowhere to go during my long class breaks, she told me that Sparky’s Den is where she goes to hang out between classes. As I descended down the gray staircase, I pictured what the room would look like; with a name like Sparky’s Den, I saw a crowded room with dark brown wooden paneling on the walls, dim…
