Since I was a kid running around Spiller Elementary getting excited for Run for The Wall I never truly knew the important meaning about it until a few years ago. Thousands of veterans or everyday people ride their motorcycles sometimes across the countries for those who simply can’t. My grandfather J.R. Grubb commonly known as Squeekie is one of those thousands who take the time from his everyday life and rides for the ones that sacrificed their lives for our country and can’t ride anymore. I…

Tuesdays are the best discount days at thrift stores. My mother sometimes took my sisters and I window shopping. Peeking into seemingly ancient items reminded me of biblical stories; bowls with lions and calves adumbrated Isaiah’s prophecy of peace. Noticeable differences of others can be fun way to start conversations, sharing stories and creating friendships. Elongated vowels and straight to the point messages ensued laughter between former strangers. Buying a shirt can now be turned into a…

A failure to acknowledge these symptoms can negatively impact a PWID in regards to developing depression, anxiety, and anger. Within this model, experts alike determined that the mourning process served as an opportunity to find meaning in the loss in which they labeled, “crisis of meaning” (Hooyman & Kramer, 2008). In order to help individuals with an intellectual disability make sense of the loss, a study was conducted in an effort to promote healthy functioning for those robbed of the…

In this paper, I will explain the event of a dog, Leo, hearing the sound of my pouring his dog-food into his food-bowl. I will explain this in an Aristotelian fashion using Aristotle's framework of explanatory schemata - the four causes - and by citing evidence from his theories of (a) hearing from De Anima II.8, (b) perception from De Anima II.12, and (c) potentiality and actuality from De Anima II.5. I will begin with an analysis of the event of Leo's hearing the pouring of the dog-food, and…

For my service project I chose to volunteer at Garvan Woodland Gardens. They just began their Holiday Light’s night on November 22. I signed up to be a door greeter and give directions around the park. I was super excited about volunteering at Garvan Woodland Gardens since I go there almost every year to see their Christmas lights. This year they have over 4 million lights on display. I met with the directed when I arrived and she was really friendly. I was there mostly in the day so I didn’t…

Comparing Nursing Philosophy of Benner and Henderson Main ideas of the theory When comparing the nursing theories of both Patricia Benner and Virginia Henderson, there are many similarities. Benner’s theory is best known as From Novice to Expert. This theory is based on skill performance, experience, education and clinical knowledge development with a focus on clinical nursing (Altman, 2007). It explains a five step level of career progression based on the clinical practice of nurses. It begins…

Conducting a short observational, I will watch students and faculty at South College to see if health care students chose to use stairs or an elevator to go to the upper floor classrooms. Tracking if gender, extra weight like books, and whether they are going up or down floors effects the choices they make. Weighting the results and coming up with the percentages to see if health care students chose the healthy option when it comes to stairs or elevators. Stairs Versus Elevator Usage at South…

My observations began at 9:44 on Tuesday morning, I had to be let in first through one door that was locked at all times. I was then brought to the first room that had two infants and one adult in the room. When I stepped into the room I noticed my host teacher was rocking one of the infants and right after I arrived, she put her down to sleep. In addition, I noticed the other infant was sleeping in a swing and later found out that they do not usually let them sleep in the swing. While the…

I chose to write this paper. I could have made the decision to do otherwise. Seemingly, multiple different courses of action were at my disposal upon beginning this endeavor; as there are now, and will be later. Intuitively, this how we see free-will—as a path leading towards an array of alternative possibilities. It seems evident that that we possess the freedom to direct our course of actions in anyway we desire. But what if this was an illusion? Such a claim is not as outlandish as it sounds…

The purpose of this observation today at Starbucks at the slow period of 2PM is to determine how much crucial time between morning rush and evening rush is wasted by employees just standing around and conversing. We will impose the saying “if you lean, you can clean”. This will further determine if the request by upper management to seek out training is in fact necessary. I will be observing the cashier and the barista. The cashier’s name is Amy and the Barista’s name is Tanner. I am observing…
