of her own love. I started recording everything in a small black composition notebook. Open the pages and it would look like a personal trainer threw up in it. Every page replete with different workouts, measurements, diets, meal plans, critiques about what I could do better next week, and what I should work on for tomorrow. No one knew where it hid under my bed next to my measuring tape, and elementary school art projects. It still sits there, shroud in the dust, as a memorial of how bad it…
Indo-American Center-Service Learning Reflection Although I have only volunteered for less than two months at the Indo-American Center, I immediately felt a connection from the moment I stepped into the building. It reminds me of home. The senior citizens who come to the center are active, have much to talk about, and enjoy interacting with their friends and relatives. Ageism has a negative connotation of physical, mental, and social deterioration. However, the senior citizens at the center…
shouldn’t have to face at such young ages. There is no reason to just diagnose someone as obese without attempting to regulate and investigate why they’re over weight. Through personal experience I’ve learned that doctors just recommend you to eat healthier and exercise. But that’s doesn’t seem to be a very helpful solution, or in my case at least it wasn’t. Just like myself I’m positive that there are many more children who have grown up stepping on a scale and watching the number rise year by…

This type of nursing includes self-care, self-responsibility, spirituality and reflection, I believe self-care is the most important of these core values.

you and you will succeed, in trade of you giving your life to me. Yes! You are hesitant, but hear my pleading! Anorexia will get easier once you have agreed.” Once I slumped into the sprawling world of Anorexia Nervosa, my life took its turn for the worst. After spending countless of nights loathing in self-pity, I realized my life was becoming a lie. Before my eating disorder took control of my life, I was an upbeat young lady. Being a mere 13 years of age, I had a positive persona. I…

At the very beginning of this personal project I had no idea what I was going to do, I just knew I wanted it to be something I loved. I initially thought I could just do a sport, which led me to wanting to do wrestling. I have not done wrestling for a long time. I have done many other sports throughout my life, including track, cross country, ballet, jazz, and swimming. Even though I have done other sports when I started wrestling, I knew it was the sport that I enjoyed the most because it just…

chronic disease has become endemic, finding its way into new bodies daily. As the biomedical field lags in finding cures for many of these diseases, behavioural and lifestyle approaches to health become increasingly common. The principle that a proper diet, exercise, and mindfulness are key to survivorship for the incurably ill has become pervasive within healthcare discourses.
