Inside Me

in a general sense. During the second quarter I took an Art Studio class, which helped me to understand more about the art therapy aspect of trauma treatment. In the future, I plan to take Psychology classes to create more understanding behind the types of patients and individuals that I may encounter at my future clinic. In talking to my academic adviser, I have been told of the various pathways that can help me in reaching my goal of helping trauma patients. By majoring in fields like…

to my family. The old Arian wouldn't have cared about what my family thought of me. I was too busy roaming the streets trying to find more money than I had as a kid. I guess nothing much has changed since then. In my opinion, everything happened too swiftly before I knew it, I got used to bargain for clothes, food, etc. One thing that I was not prepared for was the tantalizing that I would get from the people around me. No, not just, that but how otherworldly homeless people can be compared to…

this fantasy, but I gained more knowledge on how I wanted to influence the world. Funnily enough, I discovered what I really wanted to do when I started working at Chick-fil-A during the summer before my sophomore year. All of my friends had warned me against working in fast food, quoting horrible smells and ridiculous customers and tons of grease. But I had a sister who had been working at that Chick-fil-A for a few months,…

questions in class makes me nervous. As we have progresses through this semester I have noticed that once I take the first step and start actually talking I get more comfortable. The longer I talk and the more times I do the more comfortable I am getting. Although I feel more comfortable…

business up and ready I will start my marketing around my neighborhood since everyone know me. I will walk around my neighborhood to gain leverage, information, and a very good relationship with my neighbors. Some people might not like strangers knocking on their doors or even talk to them. Since I’m from the neighborhood/community I will a nice advantage then a stranger will. I know people that will help me get my name out there because of my character. So my neighborhood would be my first…

was unrecognizable, even to myself. My eyes continued rooming down the length of the mirror, lingering upon my reflection. I looked like the lost, rag doll you keep in your attic, after realizing she's no longer full of life. My depression had altered me, for the worse. I knew I needed help, but I was too afraid to ask for it. I lived in an illusion, choosing not to acknowledge the elephant in the room. I continued walking around like a lifeless zombie, smelling like one too probably. I…

intensely watching my every move, and continuously bringing me food, they sat me down and confronted me on the issue at hand. They began with saying that some of my friends are concerned with my health and eating habits and asked how I was doing. At this point, I am in complete shock and infuriated that my so-called ‘best friends’ would disregard my feelings about the situation and tell my parents. I denied the whole thing and chalked it up to me just forgetting to eat a couple meals because of…

when on of the moms used to always thank me for watching her little son Elijah. She was so kind to me, she did not have to be kind. She was going through a lot, and she took her time to be kind and have conversations with me. I have not seen her for a long time, but I remember her appreciation. Another one of my favorite parts of my service is seeing the moms at church. A lot of them recognize me and thank me. Some of the kids recognize me and smile at me, which is thanks enough for…

would like to accomplish. Once the members have their goal, I will ask them that the goal will represent what they want to accomplish and not feel pressure by others. As a member of the group, I will be open to agreeing to a contract. In order for me to see a difference with my current problem, I need to make a contract to help myself. My…

Before explaining the setting of the interview for the ethnography, I must first introduce my friend Roger, who will be my main participant in this process. Roger and I first met at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg during my first semester and we soon became friends, due to the fact that the both of us loved critiquing movies. Although his major is in Anthropology, he stated that the Big Bang Theory was one of his favorite sitcoms. Despite the series based on the physics and associated…
