The Pathway

I have accomplished many things in my life that have taught me lessons of perseverance, patience, responsibility and adaptability. The three accomplishments that stand out the most in my mind are my temple marriage, bearing and raising children and completing the Pathway program. I was sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa, Arizona Temple on February 3, 2000. It was a life goal of mine since I was a little girl. Even though I had some setbacks and had to refocus and get my life back on track, I felt a great sense of satisfaction knowing my persistence had paid off. Accomplishing this goal taught me life lessons on sacrifice, obedience, courage and dedication. Even though my 3 children are still at home and I am in the process of raising them, they are included as my biggest accomplishments. My children aren 't perfect but as I see them grow into productive and independent young adults, who make good decisions for themselves, I know…

Reflection of Directed Independent Study at Pathways for Change The Organization and My Role Pathways for Change is a nonprofit organization based in Pensacola, Florida working to service disadvantaged members of the community. The Pathways for Change organization is an off-shoot of a Baptist Hospital program initiated in 1996 to provide psychotherapy to those seeking mental health care, insured and uninsured alike. Four years after becoming Executive Director of the program, then called the…

offspring, although pleasures in the brain are registered similarly, whether that be a feeling of satisfaction after a meal, a sexual encounter, or the “high” from alcohol or drugs. Activation of this reward pathway informs the individual to repeat the act in order to be rewarded with the same pleasures the stimuli had originally given it. Some of the main structures that constitute the reward system include the nucleus accumbens (NAc), the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and the medial forebrain…

usually supervised by someone in the field the intern is interested in. They are performed to create a better understanding of your future career. There are other names for the word internship such practicum or co-op. They can be identified as a part time job, volunteer opportunity, or a summer job. An internship can help with career exploration. During your time of the co-op a person can learn about the desired career field to see if it fits them. Benefiting from being alongside a professional…

Network Topology Analysis (NTA) examines the local positioning of significantly altered metabolites within the pathways annotated by KEGG. NTA estimates a Pathway Impact index using a measure of the centrality (Relative Betweeness Centrality) of detected metabolites in relation to all compounds within a given metabolic network. Centrality is a local quantitative measure of the position of a metabolite relative to the other metabolites by calculating the number of shortest paths going through the…

Within the fifty states, each state has its own different requirements and graduation pathways. Each state has a different graduation rate, and the reason could be because of the different requirements of classes and the graduation pathways offered. Mississippi, Washington, Nevada, and Texas are four states with similar requirements but have various graduation pathways which affect student performance. Mississippi offers four graduation pathways. Each pathway has numerous classes to be taken.…

in the form of foot shock, elevates the dopamine level in the nucleus accumbens and results in more amphetamine and cocaine self-administration (Goeders and Guerin, 1994), suggesting that stress chemicals, such as CRF, glucocorticoids(GCs) , and norepinephrine (NE), have the ability to directly modulate dopaminergic pathway and in turn, response to stress and cue (Johnson et al, 2016). In details, the increase in CRF released during stress and received by the VTA might enhance dopamine release…

Key Points This article is about Practice Pathway how it works with children with ASD. Practice Pathway “is to describe expected practice in relation to children whose needs may fall within the autism spectrum disorder” (leics.gov.uk) it just what it says it is. To practice a treatment for children with ASD until they have found not a cure, but the right treatment for the problem. Two main issues for children with ASD irritability and problem behaviors. It’s a ten step pathway process where…

I consider that you have presented a good argument related to your selected topic. Your argument related to food, especially carbohidrates, and addiction has been well supported by many scholars. If your are going to consider addiction and neurological processes, I would advise you to consider the reward pathway theory (also called the mesolimbic pathway). Many researchers suggests that several types of addictions have similar brain patterns as in the case of drug addictions. To explain the…

Researchers Maurice Kernan, David Cowan, and Charles Zuker used the scientific methods in their study of the transduction pathway of mechanoreception. Their research was mostly exploratory with a focus on building a theory for the molecular basis of mechanoreception. Extensive research has been done on the transduction pathways of the senses, such as scent and hearing, but very little has been found about the rapid pathway that is mechanoreception. This response is a vital part of an animal’s…
