chirp our players. After this went on for a while some of our players started chirping back and we got into a vocal battle in between and during the innings. After a few innings of this there was a play at the plate with their biggest player coming home and I was catching. I caught the ball and went to tag him only to have his shoulder rammed into my face as he tried to run me over just to be safe. I was taken out of the game and had to sit out the rest of the tournament from a…

The term midwife means to me is ‘with women’. It’s about being a guardian of normality whilst being able to recognise deviations from the norm. It means that I am and will be an expectant parent’s voice during their vulnerable stages of labour; I will be there to empower and educate her during her pregnancy and post-partum. Midwives are health care professionals with the academic ability to provide a high level standard of care for women and their families through the antenatal, post natal and…

Falling a Little Short Most young children grow up recieving participation medals with pride while listening while their parents tell them that they tried their best. I guess that you could say that I was not raised like most children. Ever since I was able to walk my father had me running bases and playing catch. When I was 7, since there were not any softball teams available for me to join, my father even signed me up to play for a boys baseball team. It might have been weird that I was a…

What I was looking forward to doing my senior year, was leading my team as a senior to the best we could be. I was working harder than I ever had all winter long leading up to this. I had one goal that I did not see happen any of my four years there, which was getting to the state championship. There were a lot of things that had to go right for this to happen. The team had to be good, they had to work hard every day, they had to win districts, they had to win regional’s, and the most…

In this case some of the assumptions made when viewing the provided image included, that the photograph had been taken in an elderly residential care home. The lady standing in front of the hoist may be either a Nurse or Health Care Assistant (HCA). However taking into account the clothing she is wearing, the assumption she is a health care assistant seems more correct. The HCA appears to be of Pacific…

If you live in a community which participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, you are eligible to purchase flood insurance. There is one notable exception to this, which is homes which are located in the Coastal Barrier Resources System. In 1982 Congress passed this act to discourage people from building homes in fragile costal areas. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) department of Federal Insurance Administration manages the National Flood Insurance Program. Communities…

that you never knew about MLB! Number Eight: The Da Vinci of Sports Deion Sanders is known as an amazing, athletic tool of all trades. Mastering the arts of both profession baseball and football, he is the only person in history to have ever hit and home run in the MLB and scored a touchdown in the NFL in the same week. In addition, he is the only person to have competed in both the Super Bowl and the World Series. Number Seven: A…

jabin was pitching. First pitch a little outside but i still swing and i connect. I run to first as my brothers race to the ball. I step on first and I hear and feel the rock crack under my foot. A chill goes through my body as i'm walking back to home plate followed by a pain squeeze in my foot. I look down to see my foot in a blanket of blood. I rush inside to find my mom and behind me follows the trail of blood. After we wash it off and wrap it in a towel my dad rushes me to the ER. He pulls…

However, I actually really enjoy it. Going into the first day I was extremely nervous. No matter where you go, you hear horror stories about how horrible nursing homes are. I went into clinicals thinking that I was going to be horrible, and that I was going to witness something horrific. But I didn’t. My first day was easy. The CNA that I was assigned to for the day didn’t have very many patients that required a…
