Personal Narrative: New Born Babies

I had been in gymnastics for 3 years before the incident. I loved it and it was always really fun for me. My favorite part of practice was going on the trampolines. I had always been afraid of the bars, especially when we had to stand up on the smaller one and jump to the bigger one, I always thought I was going to get hurt. I went to practice one day

What is maturity? Psychologically speaking, it is the ability to appropriately respond to a set environment. From childhood to adolescence, people are faced with the many challenges of life. In defeating these obstacles, the moral understanding and perception of value obtained sculpt a person’s character. Let’s face it, challenges are called challenges for a reason.

SKATEBOARDING Why do I love to skateboard? When I was twelve years old I had a good interest in skateboarding and it looked like it was a fun cool active sport. The first professional skateboarder I looked up to was Nyjah Houston he was an amazing professional skateboarder on element skateboards.

2.2.7. Challenges of caring for preterm newborns at home. Caring for a preterm newborn is a herculean task with so many challenges in the form of psychological, physical and financial due to the extra care it requires. A healthy term baby born is always a joy and called for celebration by both immediate and extended family members but in the case of preterm birth, parents are left with feeling of fear and grief due to the anticipated challenges that they may face.

Imagine having a baby, but not being able to hold it because it is too small, or too weak. Imagine not being able to feel the touch of a newborn child. Imagine seeing her hooked up to different cords and machines. A premature baby, or preemie, is any baby born before the 37th week of pregnancy. Premature birth occurs between 8 percent to 10 percent of all pregnancies in the United States.

Becoming a Single Mother Becoming a single mother was one of the hardest things to do in my life. I was only nineteen years old and new to the world. I had just gotten out of a five year relationship when I met this guy on social media, a few weeks later we finally met in person. Fast-forward about four months later, I was still working as a manager at one of our local fast food restaurants and just wasn’t feeling the greatest. One of the employees suggested that I could be pregnant, I didn’t think that it was possible since I did my part and was on the Pill, and still currently taking it.

Throughout the documentary Babies, the main focus consists of documenting the similarities and differences of the lives of four babies from the time they are born until they grow into toddlers. There seemed to be more cultural differences than similarities between the infants when viewing this documentary. One of the main differences I want to draw attention to is child care. The families that reside in Tokyo and San Francisco, seem to have both the mother and father caring for the child. In Namibia and Mongolia, it appears that the mothers are the main care givers for the children, going so far as to notice that not a single father was shown throughout any of the scenes in Namibia.

As I lay on the couch, I ask myself the question that probably plagues so many teenagers today: “Should I go and get myself a pumpkin spice latte?”. I have the ability to go out and get myself one, so perhaps I will. This sense of freedom doesn’t come from the immediate rights granted to me in the Constitution; I get my sense of freedom from Baby Blue. Baby Blue is what I lovingly refer to my truck as, it may not be a light shade of blue as the name would suggest, but it is a vibrant blue, and I actually consider it my baby. A Ford F-150 that replaced my families rusting Ford Ranger about two and a half years ago, has become my ticket to a life of freedom.

My problem started when I was a ripe young age of 12. Young and innocent I was who adored and loved food. Unfortunately, I was a child with a very low metabolism rate, which means I was always on the heavy side. Growing up in an Indian family, we always believed that tall and slim is beautiful. I grew up chubby

On December 12th, 1996, the greatest day of my parents life happened. Their very first child was born and my grandparents first grandchild. I have a younger sister named Haleigh that just turned 16. I am learning more and more about myself the more I glance in the mirror and look back at my past.
