Personal Narrative: Becoming Apart Of The National Guard

I was always told by my parents to live life, and enjoy every moment I got. Like every other kid, I am a reflection of my parents values. Through various means, my parents taught me to be mature, optimistic, and cooperative.

Death is the hardest thing to get over especially if it’s your family members. In the course of my life, I’ve had four people passed away. My mother 's dad and my father 's two brothers and sister died. I really didn 't know much about my dad 's sister but, she died from a brain aneurysm. My dad and his siblings always said how pretty and smart their older sister was. Death can be devastating to a person 's life because they 'll never get to see or talk to them ever again.

Being a military dependent is something I have known my whole life. My dad joined the Air Force in 1988 at the age of twenty-four. He initially joined the military to help people, but wasn’t sure what he wanted to do, this led him to fighting fires until 2010. I was born in the year 1999; I grew up with him working twenty-four hour shifts and then being home for twenty-four hours. My father’s time in the military shaped who I was by his instilling in me responsibility, love for people, and the core values of the United States Air Force.

To me Reverend Maclean’s final sermon in A River Runs Through It means that everyone will have someone the love go through something terrible, but we don 't know how to help. There are multiple ways that you can think about this. The issue at hand could be mental, physical, short-term, or long-term problem. Reverend Maclean 's sermon means that giving help can be very frustrating and at time hard to figure out.

By the end of Confronting Elderly Abuse in America, I was crying and upset. I felt so bad for the victims, and I couldn’t believe that so many people could hurt the elderly. I believe the state stated in the documentary was that nearly 90% are abused by someone they know. It’s devastating to know that those being abused put so much trust in the ones they love without knowing their loved ones are abusing their power. Although, the majority of elderly abuse cases are caused by a loved one or caregiver there are those cases that person abused was picked at random like husband’s grandma.

There was a slight cool breeze at the top of Mt. Cardigan during mid Fall, the landscape was a beautiful painting made by the earth and sky. I could see blue ponds reflecting the clear sky like a giant mirror, some trees had begun to turn orange, yellow, or red, while other trees still held on to their green. It was a very popular day to hike and we had a spectacle of thirty plus people watching to see what our daring plan was. Three of my friends and I were out of place on this mountain because we did not come up with a dog or even hiking boots on. We brought helmets and bikes with us.

The case I decided to research was ‘Prison Term in HIPAA Violation Case’. This case is about a gentleman that was pulled over and was found to be in possession with a patients record. He was working at hospital n East Texas when this case took place on August 28, 2014. He was sentenced to three- years supervised release and an order to pay $12,152 restitution.

Hey Issac, I hope all is well. I enjoyed reading you little story about your elderly petite morning patient, it was cute. You made a lot of good points about first impressions and how it can help make the therapist sessions much smoother. This I believe is important because just like you and I, we can tell when people do not want to deal with us of are impatient or are just having a bad day. This energy sometimes rubs off on us and we treat this person just how they treat us and at the end of the day no one is happy. I believe as future therapist nonverbal communications can make or break you. I have had patients that wanted to give me attitude and wanted to be hard to deal with, but I always made it a point to redirect them and change the session around in a positive way.

About 7 years ago my husband and I went to someone’s house after church that our good friend

Everyone has a story and a place where it all began. My story began in New Brunswick, New Jersey shortly after my second birthday. When I was two years old my parents finalized their divorce. This ignited a series of events that would teach me to be the independent, compassionate, and resilient young woman I am today.

The quote that Otto Frank told Anne stated “ Good people and bad people have one thing in common. They both make mistakes.” This quote is every true because I have seen it with my own eyes. There was a kid that I know and he was a every good person and would always help my mom and he would always help me with stuff that I needed help on. We was a straight A student until one day he made a bad choose to join a gang. He also had made that choose because he thought that a gang would be his family because his mom would never pay attention to him and he thought that join in a gang would help him get away from his mom and they would treat him like family. He would always ask my mom if she can adopt him, but my mom would say playing around yes and

When you first walk into the district court building, you get the feelings of authority and resoluteness. If I was not just an observer in the court hearings, I would have felt very uneasy, and nervous, because of the atmosphere that surrounds the building, and the employees of the building. Even before entering the courtroom you get the strong feeling of discipline and authority. I believe this feeling comes from the knowledge of knowing that your future is in the hands of the judge, and knowing that you made a mistake and now have to deal with the consequences. When we finally entered the courtroom The room was set up so that the judge was in the center of the room with their desk raised higher than the rest of the furniture. This set up gave me the feeling of power, the judge was meant to be the center of attention, and was definitely meant to be taken seriously. Throughout the hearing we were able to see the judge in action, and it was definitely a very interesting process to watch from the sidelines.

Jackie Robinson once said “During my life, I have had a few nightmares that has happened to me while I was awake…”. It is tough having a family member that you love dearly go through so much pain. My grandfather had a stroke about 4 years ago. Ever since then he has been slowly dying. I have got through this barrier in life with persistence just like Jackie Robinson did.

I was born in Fort Polk, Louisiana, an infamous army base, however I cant remember this period much because my family relocated back to Houston before I could walk. So instead of growing up as a typical military kid, I developed the habits of a city kid. As one would expect, coming up in America’s fourth largest city I was a very small fish in the ocean, so my childhood was very competitive and extremely fast paced. With so much happening around from minute to minute I generally didn’t have the pleasure of sitting around to contemplate my reality. Even in school I remember having to constantly compete with my classmates just to receive the least amount of attention. One trait that I did inherit from being a military kid is my adventurous spirit.

R.I.P Randy! Christ Jesus sometime calls home good people early that the world would become aware that a light has left; you were one of those lights. You did not suffer as a thief or a murderer, henceforth, your family and friends are not ashamed. We know that you are in a better place, so don’t worry about us (family & friends) we can only hope to laugh with you again. Randy, I don’t believe that the young should go and leave the old, therefore, I am so sorry that I was not there to protect you from that depraved boy. May he listen to the Holy Spirit calling him and mend his ways. I am so sorry that I was not there to protect you, I would have gladly given my life for you, but even stronger is Christ Jesus’ ability to keep you. Ephesians
