Holding hands

I chose to observe a young Asian girl who was about five years of age. Her birth date is on June 14, 2011. She was slightly above average height and seemed to be of average weight compared to her classmates. She had long dark brown hair that was pulled back a hot pink headband with a flower on it. She had an identical twin sister that wore the same hot pink dress with white and pink leggings and sparkly pink shoes. The only difference between the two physically was that my child wore leggings…

My overall conclusion of Shivanni’s development is that she has stayed the same through out my clinicals. She still acts the same as she did the first observations given some exceptions. She still needs help with her morning routine and washing her hand. But she did increase her vocalization. She has become much more talkative and participates more at circle time. She has started to mimic the teachers and repeat basic words. So overall Shivanni’s development has stayed very similar to the…

anything to her. After we sat down our feet literally stuck to the ground, before opening the menu my hand and arm got very sticky from some substance on the table. I opened my menu with the inside inserted upside down from it not being stapled together and see dried BBQ sauce that is an inch thick from top to bottom right down the center, I walked to the front to exchange it and I politely hand the hostess the filthy menu and…

I am not a boxer, but I got a boxer's fracture. A boxer's fracture is a fracture of one of the metacarpal bones in the hand. The fracture occurs when a person hits an immovable object with a closed fist. That is exactly what I did about one year ago. My ex boyfriend's collar bone was the point of contact. It was just a regular day at Calvary Baptist Academy. I thought it was atleast. As I was walking down the hallway, a friend stopped me to tell me that my ex boyfriend, Christian, had done…

Why blame a mentally handicapped person for their actions when they don’t understand what they are doing? In John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and men Lennie causes something to happen everywhere they go, and does things that always have a bad outcome even though he doesn’t know any better. He either tries to cause something bad to happen or do something he shouldn’t do. George always tells him what to do and what not to do and most of the time he does or doesn’t listen.…

Today’s goal was to introduce me to the site, the people that work in my department, the resources available to workers, and current projects. My volunteer supervisor, Geraldine Baptist, showed me around the hospital, specifically where I would normally sign in and sign out, the cafeteria, and the Occupational/Physical therapy outpatient department. Upon arrival at the OT/PT department, Ms. Baptist introduced me to the front desk secretary, Mauracell, a sweet, openhearted young lady. Mauracell…

enough or do there best to work for a team win. All children need to be taught that if you work hard, set goals and do their best to accomplish things you will then be a winner. Winners in turn receive a trophy. Participation trophies on the other hand, do not necessarily bring out the best in sportsmanship or in teamwork. My third grade soccer team is a prime example. The girls were not focused on setting goals or winning games. They knew they would receive a trophy in the end and never put…

test. My dad gave my sister and I words of wisdom before hopping into the car. Once we got into the DMV, all I could smell were tires. I walked to the desk with the study book in my hands feeling not confident whatsoever. The lady asked me for my name, birth date, birth certificate, grade, and she asked for my I.D. My hands we shaky and sweaty as I handed her all of those items. She pointed her finger towards the waiting room. As I sat, trying to study, I couldn’t concentrate. I kept looking…

The idea that parents are to blame for our faults and failings is one that does not sit well with many, but in Philip Larkin’s “This Be the Verse,” he goes on to declare just that. From victim to offender, people pass down their faults and wrongdoings from one generation to the next. Human nature will never change, and misery will forever thrive. Not one generation can be blamed for the faults they have, yet each generation passes down their faults and wrongdoings to the next.This means…

On February 15th, 2017, I had the opportunity of being a guest at The Village Preschool located in Visalia, California. The classroom that I was assigned to had a total of twelve children that all ranged from the ages of four to five years old. Specifically, the classroom had five female students and seven male students. Upon arrival, the teacher introduced me to the children and explained to them that I was a guest from Fresno State University and would be observing them. To allow the children…
