Rocking chair

the smell of her peppermint perfume mixed with the rose was a one of a kind scent that I could only smell when she was around. Her roses were always beautiful and as she continued to get sick I would keep tending to the garden and she would sit in a chair outside and watch me and smile as I continued to do the things that she loved to do with me. This reminds me of the story we read in this course “Give me Five More Minutes” written by Christy De’on Miller. My Grandmother continued to get sick…

Nonverbal communication is more important than you would ever imagine. This type of communication can vary from facial expressions all the way to touch. According to the book, “Nonverbal communication also influences how individuals interpret messages, especially those related to feelings, moods, and attitudes.” If you are upset with a friend, family member, or significant other it is very unlikely that you are going to tell that person. You would keep your distance from that person and probably…

A heavyset man who would go clobbering around in his boots and overalls, basically glaring at anyone who came around him, is what some people remember of my father. All his friends and family remember him as a man with too many jokes to tell. My father was very intimidating to people at first glance with his bulky 6’4’’ frame. His salt and pepper hair contrasted greatly from his dark olive complexion. Behind his think glasses hid a stern face, but soft, tired brown eyes. Even though he was…

A. Summary of my experience My first experience in the wheelchair was Sunday September the 25th when I made a trip to Wal-Mart in Nacogdoches. I got out of my truck and walked to the back and let the tailgate down. I then retrieved the wheelchair out of the back of the truck and then sit down. There was five people standing four cars up from where I parked. They glared at me and I knew what was going through their minds, as I passed I could hear them talking although I do not know what was said…

Introduction Limited range of motion often incapacitates individuals from living a full life and often requires time and the resources of caretakers to pander to needs to physically handicapped patients. With the maturation of the ‘baby boomer’ generation, there is a sudden onset of the need for specialized care for the geriatrics, but without the labor force to match the demand. With the advancement of technology, new needs can be met. Standard wheelchairs are bereft of motion without…

PERSONAL NARRATIVE: I feel the lights hit my face as I nervously make my way to the Steinway at the center of the stage. Sitting down, I adjust the bench and start to warm up. The judge sits adjacent to me, staring over her paper. She says, “whenever you’re ready,” and I start with the first few notes of the Chopin prelude I’ve been working on for an entire year now. Feeling the music progress exactly as I’ve practiced it for months now, I finish and bow. I hear the applause in the background,…

buildings indicated that the physical college environment was not accessible by all learners. Some of the physical facilities were not accessible by a particular group of students, for example, students with visual impairments and those who use wheel chairs. Some offices at the administration and nearly all toilets were not accessible by students on wheelchair (see appendix 10). Not all classes were specifically designed to accommodate all students. These results were substantiated by data from…

If you're handy with a sewing machine, there are lots of ways you can recycle what you already have to make beautiful and inexpensive home decorating items. I rarely buy ready-made bedding, window treatments or decorative pillows, cushions or couch covers. I have done some fun decorating and created a decorator touch by recycling or adding to home décor items I already have. In one project I redid our spare guest bedroom. I love the toile pattern which can be quite expensive when purchased in…
