When We Were Very Young

Today was my first day of Community Health clinicals at Lanier County Health Department. When I arrived, I meet the nurses then was oriented to the facility. I was surprised how many patients arrived first thing in the morning to see the WIC educator and the nutritionist. I was apprehensive as to what my day was going to entail. The first patient my preceptor and I saw was a young African American female with a 1-year-old. She was at the Health Department to receive her 12-week shot of…

getting my STNA. I was only a young pup when I wanted to help people. I started working at a nursing home when I turned 15, and I loved it but I couldn’t do hands on care just yet. I had to take a four week class and take a state test to get certified. My class started the Monday after my last day of Junior year. The teacher was a friend of my family, so I’m glad I knew somebody. I marched down to the basement to begin my learning. I knew some of the things that we were being taught, but I…

Emily by William Faulkner, the main character, Emily, is very interesting. She lives in an alternative reality where the rules of the world are not applied to her existence. There is a principle in philosophy that states that the way a man thinks is strongly influenced by the way a man lives. This seems to be the case of the protagonist of the story. Emily Grierson seems to be mentally disturbed, but even when in her family mental illnesses were not uncommon, she was not born that way. Her…

civil war, advertisements were still depicting people with black and brown skin in a negative way. The image above was presumably released in the 1940s for selling fairy soap. In that period of time, black people were usually treated as necessary characters on advertisements to sell household goods. Image one shows, the young black girl looking very nervous (she grasps her dress tightly) and looks glum (she slightly looks down without a smile and watches the young white girl very carefully). In…

Why did this all of this have to happen so soon? I was only 6 when my brother passed away. I was young at the time, so I didn't really know much of what was happening. My mom and dad were the ones who were definitely more effected by this than I was, because they witnessed it themselves. So for this to happen, it changed them. I was sitting on the couch watching Camp Lazlo with my sister, when both my parents started screaming. They were running to the home phone with my brother in my Dad's…

the little fox cubs were watching their mother hunt for the first time. The foxes had such little faces that were slim and fitting to their small bodies. They glided near the ground the mock their mothers movements. The mother’s head swung back as a little noise escaped her black lips, as if to say to quite their steps. I had taken notice that foxes were elegant and gentle as they hunted. I have seen this behavior in my own world, a human mother would spark curiosity in their young infants mind…

The Documentary “When Kids Get Life” was very touching and personally made me tear up. I watched each young man share their stories. It was easy to sense they all were fighting inner demons. They speak with acceptances of the situation which is understandable due to the fact they can not change anything. One of the main people in the film, Erik had no chance at life. He seemed to have it all… good parents, beautiful home, seemed like a generally a good person. It was very heartbreaking to see…

relatively profound picture of a young boy and his father violently dancing throughout the house. Putting the prime focus on the aspect of emotion we will vividly discuss the young boy and the struggle with his father, the dance or waltz suggests power, fear, and love. Regardless of the power and fear that the father represents the boy still is clinging to his shirt…

29 percent. For some reason though, the usage of tanning beds has skyrocketed over the past couple of years. Us, parents must be “totally uncool” if we do not let our daughter tan before her homecoming dance. Going to a formal dance “pale” must be considered social suicide nowadays. People find new excuses to go indoor tanning everyday, especially young girls. They find an excuse to go before vacation so they can arrive with a “base” tan. They want to soak up the rays prior to special events and…

They have a very similar style of using a first person perspective. Though this we saw how the characters saw the people around them, and learn from experiences. “Humanizing “ both human and nonhuman characters. Though they do share some similar features they do have few big differences. Firstly Both “Black beauty : The autobiography of a horse” and “The Georges and the Jewels” , a first person perspective is used to humanise the horse. Though in “The Georges and the Jewels” a young girl is the…
