Been in a teenager could make it difficult for Jenna to manage her disease process. Treatment is viewed as a burden and very challenging to keep up which leads Jenna to using her friend’s blood to register in her accu check machine all in the name wanting to please her dietician and mum. Peer support and personal model is very important point to look into for management of teen and adolescent diabetes management.

...In what way(s) does Jenna Wortham follow the Rogerian model and philosophy in her article? Wortham followed the article by presenting both sides to an argument. She is not biased and seems as though she is willing to compromise over the issue of dating apps. In what way(s) does she NOT follow the Rogerian model and philosophy (ie. where does he lose objectivity or empathy/sensitivity to the issue at hand)? Originally, Wortham seemed as if she was following the Rogerian model until towards the end of her article. This can be a very effective strategy to win an argument. This strategy can make the opponent feel as though everybody is compromising so their guard is now down. Once she has established a common basis with opponent then she begins...

...Imagine a guy killing a girl then taking her heart and there is no way to stop him. Jenna Blake is a freshman at college and has seen a lot. She works with doing autopsies and she just did an autopsy on a girl that had her heart cut out. I predict that there will be more murders and will question if the killer is selling body parts. I predict that killer will keep murdering people and continue taking body parts from the victim’s. “Someone who could do something like this wasn’t going to stop after one” (Golden, 41). The killer is really smart and seems insuperable because he got one victim to trust him. I predict that the victim will keep taking hearts from the body because the name of the book is Thief of Hearts. Will reading I question...

...Profile. I arrive on floor twenty-one; fifteen floors above my own. The elevator doors glide open, and I am greeted by a large poster of a friendly looking yellow sponge and a pink starfish. I walk out of the elevator and proceed to my right. My interviewee’s room number was 2123, and I struggled to find it at first. I walk the perimeter of the floor, and discover it in the corner. It was just a plain brown door; there were no name markers on it. I hoped she had given me the right room number. I knock with force three times, and wait patiently. After about ten quick seconds, the door flies open and startles me a little. “Hey! Sorry my room is a little bit messy, I was gone all weekend, and I got back not too long ago” Jennah says. I explain to her that I totally understand, as I was gone all weekend too. I look past her a little bit as I am entering her dorm room. It is a little bit plain, and not equipped with much. As I look to my left at her bed, I do notice something that catches my interest: a Hello Kitty bed comforter. “No way! Jennah, I adore your comforter” I say excitedly. “Hello Kitty is the bomb” she agrees. I am not surprised at the fact that she has a comforter with a character popular among young elementary-aged girls. For the week that I’ve known her, she seemed very free-spirited, and young at heart. I observe her outfit and see something I, for some reason, did not notice when I first entered. She was wearing a Hello Kitty t-shirt. Accommodating her...

...people there, but the kind of people that were bullied. There was a girl named Jenna that was always a bully, because she was the popular girl, with the thought of being better than everyone else, especially with her amazing beauty and physique. Every day she bullied poor little Carlos. He never did anything wrong, but she was just a mean person, with no reason. But Carlos was seen as a nerd against everyone else, being real smart and always doing his homework, which is why he had all A’s in his classes, unlike everyone else. Every day Carlos would complement Jenna, “You have nice hair today Jenna.” But as he was seen as a nerd, she or nobody else really liked him, except he had a secluded group of friends. *BANG* as Jenna pushed Carlos into a locker beside him. Clenching his arm in pain, thinking, “Ah. She actually touched me!” Then the pain slowly let loose. It was this that he kept him pursuing her: him liking her so much, that he even looked passed and ignored the pain she caused him, whenever she would tell him to, “shut up and go away.” Of course he was hurt when she said those things, but he never really noticed it and the effect it had on him. After each day Carlos would go home and deal with some type of minor depression, but he never knew why he had it. To soothe his aching, he played with his toy cars that he loved so much. He was very good with cars and could do anything with them. When Jenna goes home, she does drugs and hangs out with the...

...pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes. As a 14 year old, Jenna displayed feelings of resentment and being singled out in her family. Familial education may have proved beneficial for Jenna and her family.

...and wishes to be a part of; the typical boy next door who all girls drool over; and the nerdy boy who dreams of his dreams girl’s guy. All of this leads to the moral of the story that applies to real life. Although this movie has a very predictable ending, it will still be loved by generations to come. Jenna Rink much like every young teenage girl wishes desperately to be apart of what, or rather who were considered the popular group in high school. In 13 going on 30 the group that everyone wished to be was the “ Six Chicks”. Although Jenna was very different from the “Six Chicks” persona, she still desperately tried to alter to herself to fit in. Jenna unfortunately does not see that her best friend Matty loves her just the way that she is. This specific use of cliche establishes a relatable atmosphere between the audience and main character. 13 Going On 30 appeals to mostly to young teens still trying to find themselves in high school, and who they can truly count on to be there always. Matt “Matty” Flamhaff would...

...Jenna found baseball bats and helmets for both of us to use. As soon as we both had our helmets on and were ready to fight, she was about four yards away from us and she looked as mad as mad could be. Now she was only seven feet away and we were ready to save the entire city, state, country, and even maybe the entire world from a zombie outbreak. We were ready, I thought, well we had to be because she was a raging zombie that is able to take storm and chaos everywhere in the world in just a few days, but we absolutely were ready because we are both made of pure adrenaline now and could shred ten of these at once. There the zombie was, in all her awful discustingness, headed right toward us, thinking that she's taking over the world. She thought wrong because she was most likely going to get destroyed by Jenna and I, both. The zombie definitely did think wrong...

...Haworth-Attard, where the main protagonist, sixteen year old Dylan, is kicked out of his home and has to live on the streets where he meets several “interesting” characters such as Jenna, the naive runaway, and Amber, the belligerent prostitute. Dylan throughout the novel fights against the black hole that is the dark world of homelessness which commonly includes drugs, alcohol, and mental issues, along the way coming up with theories as to why things are the way they are, and how as a coping mechanism. Many of our characters (such as Dylan, Amber and Jenna) if taken from just a vague, stereotypical title of why they ran away, you don’t truly understand more as to why and therefore, judge them for their stereotypical title. First assumptions of Dylan, Amber and Jenna were by just the title of why that I gave them were most likely ones such as “Dylan must have not listened to his parents much.” “Jenna probably did it for a guy.” “Amber probably is a sex addict.” Most of them, are false. They can be true in certain, ironic...
