Morning sickness

On August 17, 2014, I was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, a spinal deformity most common in female adolescents. Before meeting with my orthopedist who officially diagnosed me, I had noticed my torso doing abnormal things.

fixed on her body. Smith-Stevens illness made her feel she was no longer a creature that she knew but a monster and a cage and a supersonic train taking me to a destination over which I had no control (par. 5). Smith-Stevens yearned for a time that sickness would leave her so that she would continue writing the memoir as it was over a year now since she had written the new chapter of the memoir.

A kid in a corner (candy) store I like to think I loved every kid’s dream… I got to grow up in a candy store! Granted, it wasn’t just a candy store; it was called the “Active corner store”, and it was created and ran by my two newly immigrated parents, Straight Outta Ethiopia, all in their first few months in Canada. So what, the location wasn’t ideal and the area was basically dead; this was Canada in 1996! This is where dreams come true! This beautiful and opportunity filled country is where…

I am a twenty-four-year-old female of Hispanic origin. At the beginning of this course I looked into my personal wellness using Lab 1.1 from Fit and Well. Before I started to understand the concepts of personal wellness, I had an understanding of where I stood in regards to where I should be. I was overweight, with a BMI of 28.3, I had an inadequate diet, no exercise routine other than work, and was not at a mentally state of mind of being healthy with my personal wellness. Physically, based…

that he cannot do this again. I became fearful of all older men, including my own father. After I was released from the hospital, I was able to talk again and started going to school again but from time to time I would leave school because of my sickness. The epiphany that this incident had on me, is that it made me hate the world and not accept myself again. It also affected my education because most of the time I could not go to school because I was sick or I would fall sick in the middle of…
