There are many different types of friendships. There are some that are short lived and some that are long lasting. For me, I’ve had several people that have come and gone throughout my life. However, there is one friendship that has lasted for 14 years. The person who has made this happen is Jennifer. She is my partner in crime and friend for life. Our friendship officially began in the third grade. However, before we became the best of friends, she told me that in second grade, she used…
The second thing I wish had been different is that I wish that I had learned more about how to talk about sensitive subjects, when I came back from the session I took a minute to read the chapter in the NIA booklet “Talking with your Older Patient” about sensitive subjects, but I did not seem to find the answers I wanted. When talking with our resident I realized that she had experienced a lot of loss in her life, her son, her grandson, and her sister. Although she played it off like it was…
I believe in true love but sometimes there is no love. When I was attending to Bellevue Elementary School through kindergarten to second grade. I felt like nobody cares about me because everyone treated me like if I was their trash. When I was younger I was more talkative to everyone. When I was in kindergarten my teacher always screams at me or get me in trouble for no sense. Back then I was more careless with my education because nobody told me how important was for me. In first grade, wasn…
It was the night before I was to begin my first job and I knew I needed a good night 's sleep. However , I was a nervous wreck ! Every time I closed my eyes, I envisioned the disasters that could occur the next day at my restaurant training. Just the thought of talking to a building full of people almost paralyzed me with fear , let alone taking them glasses full of liquids or plates of steaming food. Needless to say , I am hardly ever in what would considered “ normal” situations with everyday…
When I first read the criteria for this semester long project I was imagining it to be busy work. After the first assignment I quickly realized it was more than that. This project and class showed me that medicine is not just how much biology, chemistry, or anatomy is known. Rather, in order to be the best possible health professional I need to be able to communicate with others. I found this project to be a precise description of reality, even though my client was my father and I had a personal…
The Impulse Society The first chapter of The Impulse Society discussed a number of things relating to how the market was working and how people just wanted more and more things to feel better about themselves. The first idea that was discussed was about the feeling people get when using little clever gadgets that Apple has put into their iPhones.

Personally, I feel like race is a difficult subject to talk about. I never want to step on anyone’s toes, and I feel as if I don’t have the right to talk about race. I have never experienced a disadvantage because of the color of my skin, but I am aware that I am held at different standards because I am white. I realize that racism is an issue that many people deal with on a daily basis. Therefore, I try to be aware of my biases and try learn more about myself. The presentation and the film…
Communication in close relationships works when people take time to listen to each other without judgement or interruption, feel valued and supported, and show they care about another’s ideas and feelings. The idea of confirming communication is being able to share you value someone either through a touch, personal acknowledgment, or recognition (339). In contrast, disconfirming communication indicates that someone is not important or has no value to us (339). Typical examples of this behavior…

By using second person point-of…
