Nat, I am lying in bed writing you this letter cause I love you so freaking much and am so excited you are coming to the U. I have missed seeing you and talking to you everyday. I just can’t wait to be in the same vicinity. Whether I see you everyday walking to class or once a month I am so so happy we will be close by. Seriously, I think my mom is getting sick of hearing about how happy I am that we will be at the same school. Anyway, I cherish our friendship so much and want it to be strong…

Introduction I originally was going to interview a girl from Singapore for this paper, but I had to go back home and I was not able to talk with her after all. So while I was back in my home town I interviewed a girl I went to school with, and for the sake of the paper I am going to refer to her as Sally. Before interviewing Sally I knew how our physical appearances differed, but I didn’t realize how culturally different we were. Understanding Others Sally is different from me in number of…

Exactly 17 months and 15 days ago, I left my siblings behind in Springfield, Oregon to move all the way to Flint, Michigan. At the time, Emylee, my sister, was only 7 and Trevon, my brother, was 9. After we moved out here, I met my mom’s boyfriend’s children, Whitney, Logan, and Jacob. Whitney was the oldest, at 20, Logan was the same age as me, 15, and Jacob was 12. I was slightly weary of them at first, I was a little bitter with having to leave my family behind for this new one, but I grew to…

One of the meetings I went to observe took place at Celebration Lutheran Church on 8725 W. Olive Ave at 5:30 on February 15. The name of the Alcohol Anonymous group was Celebrate Homecoming. At this meeting there were not a lot of people that showed up, there was seven people including myself. Within this group there was mostly males and two females that were present. The ages of the people in the group were mostly older like their late 40s and 50s, but there were to gentlemen present that were…

Betz, Gabrielle, and Jill M. Thorngren. "Ambiguous Loss and the Family Grieving Process." The Family Journal 14.4 (2006): 359-65. Web. This article talks about ambiguous grief and how it compares to traditional loss. Ambitious loss can be many things such as a miscarriage, a family member has Alzheimer’s disease, or losing custody of a child. Ambitious loss means there is no closure or clear understanding of what is happened/happening to a family member. This type of closure has a…

Technology has been advancing little by little. Every time it advances something new comes out. It has positive outcomes as well as negative outcomes. Cellphone addiction is destroying human interactions. We don’t’ communicate by talking anymore, we use technology to communicate. When technology wasn’t around, we would wait weeks to get a response from the person we wanted to talk to. “Remember when people communicated with Europe by letter and it took a couple of weeks to get a reply?”…

1. One out of the nine learning outcomes I feel that I have had the most growth in the sixth one, recognize and examine the importance of sexuality across the lifespan. One major thing I have learned and want to do in my career is work with children and with that I want to start to talk to them about sexuality. Before taking this course I used to think that we shouldn’t talk to children about the topics of sex and believed that talking about sex and sexuality is a taboo. However, after taking…

For myself, I asked friends to verify what my strengths and weaknesses are. This is what we agreed upon: my strengths include being personable and friendly, and a good listener; for my weaknesses I do not know when to say no, and my use of sarcasm may offend people who do not know me well. There are a few…

Why are you so quiet? My plump fingers pinched the unruly grain of rice. I plopped the grain onto the top of the correct pile, and then I sifted through the other heaps of rice. The short hand on the clock slipped downward as the stench of Lysol wafted through the air. Adults frantically slathered disinfectants on the surfaces of the tables. The other kids were probably frolicking through the damp leaves, wiping their flu-infested snot onto the sleeves of their sweaters. Inside, I inspected…
