...announced that there would five minutes to review and ask any questions before the test. I decided to review with Ally, who was still shaking like a leaf and kept forgetting simple formulas. I hugged her and told her that she was the best student I knew, in the top 5% of the class and that I had faith she would do well. Then, I took her notes and helped her review over them. When it was time to begin taking the test, I gave Ally an encouraging smile and went back to my seat to take the test. The test was twenty-five questions and five of them were open-ended once asking about terminal velocity where we had to use formulas. Yet, the test was not as hard as I thought and I finished with ten minutes in class remaining. When the bell rang, hurriedly I gathered...

...How Deployment Stress Affects Children and Families Keith Kovach Daymar Institute BMG 124 December 11, 2013 With all the frequent moves of military families, absence of either parent to a combat zone represents a challenge of a different magnitude. The one that stays behind (usually the mother), more responsibilities, finances, loneliness, and fear for the deployed soldier’s safety can cause anxiety, isolation, sadness and feelings of being overwhelmed. In my experience during my deployments, my family has felt isolation, loneliness, and stress of handling daily tasks without me. My son has taken his anger out on his mother because I wasn’t there to be with them. Studies have showed that Post-traumatic Stress Disorder not only hinders the soldier’s wellbeing, but also the spouse and children for soldiers with families as well as that of soldiers that are single because they take their frustration out on girlfriends, boyfriends, friends, and family. In Archives and Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, children, whose parents serve in the military have different reactions when one of their parents deploys. Stress varies with age and presence of preexisting psychological or behavioral problems and how one deals with the problem. Young children can show separation anxiety, tantrums, and changes in their eating habits. Older children can change in how they perform in their academics and develop some behavior issues or physical complaints...

The divorce of one’s parents can have a long-term effect on everyone that is involved. Relationships may become pivotal assuming the different facets that impacts each child. The end of a marriage can be very tragic, especially when children are involved. It can go on to have a rippling affect and affect children in different ways. Children are very vulnerable and may be impacted by the now divided family. It is the theory that when one’s parents become divorced, they have a higher chance at becoming divorced as well. It is clear that divorce can has effects and can cause long-term issues later down the road. If parents fail to handle the situation properly and with care, children could have feelings of alienation, abandonment, issues with insecurity, and confusion that could adventure in relationships into adulthood. These circumstances could cause children to feel...

...It was two weeks before the 2014 Junior Olympics and I had qualified for 4 events. The only thought that was going through my mind was whether or not my injury would allow me to compete or not. The doctor entered the room with x-rays showing my injury, which she told me was bilateral tibial stress fractures. I was told not to run or participate in specific activities that would place stress on my legs. I was devastated and felt that my hard work was all in vain. I was afraid that I would not be able to run with the same speed, endurance, and stamina which made me one of the best in the nation. Similar to the words of Wilma Rudolph’s doctor, my doctor looked at me and said, “If you do not give yourself a break, you will not be able to run...

...Unit 6 Project Veterans Having Trouble Finding Jobs After the Military Mark Everhart Kaplan University Professor Sandra Fontana Veterans who have served this country by going to war are quickly realizing that America is not appreciating the sacrifices made for our service members. Veterans are being passed over for employment for many different reasons. Some of these reasons include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), lack of job skills for performing civilian jobs, and the inability to cope with the transition from military to civilian life. The unemployment rate for veterans is 6.9 percent (Norman, 2012). The government and the employers need to work together to make the transition out of the military a smoother process. The Department of Veteran Affairs cannot process the applications for the G.I. Bill fast enough to accommodate the veterans. Veterans lack the job skills necessary to perform jobs in the civilian sector after the military. All military veterans should have special training, skill and mind set for the transition from military to civilian life, provided by the government and employers to ensure employability after serving their country regardless of how many years of service one has served. Veterans lack the special training and skills that are necessary to compete with the civilian population. Veterans often have jobs that cannot transfer to the civilian world (Hefling, 2011). For instance if they are an infantryman, they cannot get a job as a mechanic....

...Hernandez Foundation for General Education and Professional Success GEN/200 April 28, 2014 Jillian Folger Values and Responsibilities Everyone at a very young age has values and responsibilities instilled in them. They are life lessons, principles and rules we are expected to live by. Ranging from how to live, what is right from wrong, how to treat ourselves and one another. Notwithstanding, as each lives their own lives each develops their own values and duty, amending old and creating new ones. Taking ownership of the consequences from the choices, decisions and actions one makes is considered by many as having personal responsibility. Traditional versus Non-Traditional Students Nowadays, it is more common to see individuals well in their years returning to school after having their own families and having professional experience under their belt. For many weighing their professional ambitions and family duties. Forbus, Newbold, Mehta (2011) conducted a research that reflects on the differences between the traditional and the non-traditional students’ expectations for the college experience. Noting that the non-traditional differ in interest, social activities, and levels of motivations from their counterparts. For the most part any college student, be it the traditional high school graduate or the non-traditional, have set goals entering postsecondary education.

...first, while the mind is freshest and most receptive. In his experimental study on the effect of learning, Winter stated that the first and probably the most important thing needed was to acquire the habits of studying effectively. Effective methods of study consisted basically of those fundamental principles which under laid efficiency. Doing one’s work regularly, staying at it until it was done and not getting behind in it should be the general guides for successful study as well as in any field of endeavor. It was assumed that the pupils had ability enough to cope successfully with the academic tasks. The success of the responses to the task depended in great measure to their efforts. As postulated by Credé and Kuncel (2008) in their research at the University of Albany said that Study habit, skill, and attitude inventories and constructs were found to rival standardized tests and previous grades as predictors of academic performance, yielding substantial incremental validity in predicting academic performance. The meta-analysis examined the construct validity and predictive validity of 10 study skill constructs for...

...Chapter 1 Title: Pranic Healing and Meditation, its effectiveness against stress and anxiety for University of Makati second year nursing students. Background of the Study Pranic healing is a type of complementary medicine or therapy that uses energy or prana to harmonize or transform the body’s energy processes. Prana is a Sanskrit word that means life-force. This life-force or energy helps the body to maintain homeostasis and a state of good health. In some other complementary medicines like acupuncture, this energy is called as Chi. It is also called as Ruach in Hebrew. It is said that pranic healing is a simple yet powerful and effective system of no-touch energy healing. It is based on the fundamental principles that the body is a self-repairing living entity that possesses the ability to heal itself and that the healing process is accelerated by increasing this life force that readily available from the sun, air, and ground to address physical and emotional imbalances. Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of pranic healing, says “Life Energy or prana is all around us. It is persuasive; we are actually in an ocean of Life Energy. Based on the principle, a healer can draw Pranic Energy or Life Energy from the surroundings. But above all of these, how do we measure stress? One way is the Perceived Stress Scale. This instrument is a measure of the degree which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. Items were designed to tap how unpredictable, uncontrollable...

For some people, stress becomes almost a way of life.

...Alston Globalization Globalization is the process of increased interconnectedness among countries most notably in the areas of economics, politics, and culture. Put in simpler words, globalization is growth on a global scale. A more common example of globalization is the fast food industry; sweeping across our nation especially, fast food, which has quickly become one of the richest corporations in the world. From first-hand experience, one can prove that through the years eating out, or eating on the go, has become far more common amongst American citizens as well as those in neighboring countries. The strength of need, or global demand for a product or service plays a major role in its global distribution. There is no exact date when globalization was said to have started but most studies claim it started around the 19th century. Although there is no set date, the history of globalization can be broken down into three waves or periods. The first wave began in 1870 and ended at the beginning of World War 1 in 1914. It was characterized by a decrease in trade barriers and an advancement in transportation technologies. This resulted in a major migration of about 10% of the world’s population. The second wave occurred from 1950 to 1980 during which multiple trade agreements occurred between developed nations, which left out the developing world. One of these agreements was the European Free Trade Association, which opened up free trade among the countries in Europe. The third...
