Right-handedness

One of the most prominent things that I have realized from my first month of college is the importance of all the small things. Details have been essential for everything and everyone I have come into contact with, ranging all the way from what assignments I have due, to the hours of the dining halls. These first weeks in my freshman writing class we have held discussions on the most random—and what I believed to be at the time—irrelevant subjects. These discussions were just the opposite. After…

I am David Shane Dobyns, twenty-two years of age; I was born in Puyallup Washington, August 17th 1994 at the Good Samaritan hospital. My family consists of mother, father, and brother who live in Germany. Growing up was as idyllic as one could suspect, in my prepubescent years we moved to the states in search of “gods’ plan” for us, starting a church in Texas. The church siphoned our resources to the brink of poverty, but we were happy all the same. Through the eyes of a jaded 5-year-old,…

and months that I tried to find a way to kill the King, which btw I still think is genius now thinking back on it, I came up with this idea to put the knife on my right thigh.

The research I did for both my artworks not only brought me closer to the spiritual side that wood offers, but taught me a lot about the creation of realism. Through researching different artists, I learned the different techniques they use in order to create their master pieces in a realistic manner. Due to wood burning being a nearly forgotten medium, it was difficult to find artists but I managed to find some artists who have made some incredible works. Eric Battaglia represent, in his art…

The CDC estimates that nearly two million Americans are living with limb loss in the United States today. Unlike these resilient people I was able to choose what disability I would live with for a third of my day. Initially I wanted to go without my right leg for eight hours. However making accommodations for this was proving to be a little difficult and time restrictions prevented this. Thusly on January 24th, 2016…

When reading the article “Becoming a Culturally Responsive Early Childhood Educator: A Tool to Support Reflection by Teachers Embarking on the Anti-Bias Journey by Dora W. Chen, John Nimmo, and Heather Fraser,” I learned that I need to be aware that any bias that I might hold even if I am not consciously aware of those biases can affect children’s education.

I’ve often wondered why they changed the hand I was to learn to write with. Perhaps it was because…
