Personal Narrative: My Life As A Vietnamese American Patient

"Professors have ceased to expect genuine engagement from students and often give good grades (B or better) to work that is at minimally adequate." (Gutting 454). Although students are doing the minimum work, are students truly engaging what they learning? Last semester, when I took Math 124, knowing that math was the most frustrating subject for the most students, I would do the minimum work to pass the class. However, the

Less social disapproval coupled with increased competition for admission into universities and graduate schools has made students more willing to do whatever it takes to get the A (David L Jaffe)” Cheating also effects the students that are doing the right thing. Cheating affects everyone around you “Students who cheat often feel justified in what they are doing. They cheat because they see others cheat and they think they will be unfairly disadvantaged. The cheaters are getting 100 on the exam, while the non-cheaters may only get 90's (David L Jaffe).” I Trevor Patrick Murphy do promise Professor McCann that I will not cheat in college. I fully understand what cheating is and the consequences that carry with it.

There is diversity even between families and the reason is because we are all different and unique. Health providers must have this in mind when attending people from different cultures. Avoiding to do so might cause mistakes and unfair treatment. Individuals go to health care providers in order to heal, however over the course of history injustice has happened in the health care system. By doing so it affected her personal belief she could have been cared for better, and also they failed to communicate and inform the family thus inflicting pain in them for years.

My personal perception of nursing is an occupation that requires lots of love, patience, empathy, care for others, dedication and skills. A nurse is the one that stays by his/her patients’ side as they are experiencing pain or even death. Nurses do more than bathing the patients or offering them pain medications. They are there to provide comfort and emotionally connect with their patients. When I was young, I was hospitalized for appendicitis.

When I did the interview to Miss. Zuleth Lucero I learned that she wanted to go to law school but when she walked into her first law political science class she was discouraged because of her gender and race. Zuleth’s comment made me realize that many women in America are probably in the same situation as her. What I also learned found in this interview is that Miss. Lucero is well educated women whose dreams were shaped because she was discouraged when she realized that she was not going to be able to do well in Law school.

They have to fight against the other minorities that are depicted poorly, and Asian Americans have some advantages in their work fields, but racism is ignored and discrimination is too.A majority of other minorities one will come across has the negative stereotypes of being lazy and stupid attributed to them unlike the Asian Americans. Violence has broken out due to this issue, and many children are prone to bullying by other minorities when they are seen as being smart because of their race. Racial nerds is one term that could be given. Most Asian Americans are victim to the prevailing stereotype that they are at the top of their fields in all aspects of life. In school, they are supposedly most proficient at math and science which are the top subjects in need of strong minds today.

Having to take on this role instilled the quality of compassion and empathy within me as I carefully observed the physician’s kind and professional treatment of their patients, including my parents. It also exposed me to role models to look up to as someone who aspires to be a knowledgeable and confident physician. Thus, my parents’ dependence on me inspired my love for practicing medicine as a means of helping people in need and spurred my interest in volunteering and shadowing at hospitals and

My race and gender being a Vietnamese female played a role in how I adapted at Toro Middle School. Because I am Asian, it seems like the students didn't mind much but if I were to be colored-skin, the boys may have connected to me more. My gender also helped me connect with one of the students and that student taught me what inclusion and exclusion looks like. Lastly, my age affected how I react how I think a friendly act should be between the students. I realized that I should not expect the students to act how I want them to act.

It drastically decreased my grade point average since I had enrolled in this course with other difficult courses in my schedule; however, I did end up learning a lot from this experience. It taught me to be very aware of what I choose for my courses as a senior in high school and possibly as a freshman at Purdue. This experience also taught me, even though it is a human instinct, not to compare my intelligence to other people, regardless of what grade they are in, what grades they have, or how many more AP courses they are taking. I have also learned to make my own decisions instead of letting others make them for me because if I let others control what I do, then I will risk missing out on following my own unique path and expressing my individuality. Classes are different for everybody since every person has strengths and weaknesses, and everyone is intelligent in a unique way.

Although many students feel stressed out and too busy, most admitted that some of our busyness is within our control. We have the option to be connected 24/7 and although in some ways in makes our lives more stressful, we still do it. Additionally Chapter 8, which focuses on organization, also deals with the role of the specific technology that is in our lives. Although most of the students in our class are of a younger generation than Powers, most of us agreed with his low-tech organization methods. Just like Powers talks about writing things down in his Moleskin notebook, a majority of students stated that they prefer writing lists and schedules down on paper, even though most of us have

The first couple times his mother brought him into the hospital she was told that he was just teething, then they took x-rays to see if he had any broken bones and he did not so they again, sent him home. After about almost two months of Kian still not getting any better his mom; being from Newcastle, brought him to the city’s Royal Victorian Infirmary. When he got there the first thing they did was draw blood, but it was very difficult because his blood was colting instantly. Right away when Kian came in the doctors thought that it was a bone infection that Kian had so they kept him in overnight for observation. After the blood tests came back the doctors discovered the horrific truth that Kian had cancerous cells in his body.

However, Lyddie then finds out that terrible working conditions, long hours, and even harassment are key reasons why she shouldn’t work there. But Lyddie is then faced with a petition regarding those issues that might even end them. Lyddie should not sign the petition because if she does, she could get blacklisted if she signs the petition. Also, she wouldn’t be able to support her family if she signs the petition. One reason why Lyddie should sign the petition is because she could get fired or even
