If someone have asked during my childhood what would you be, I would said A Doctor, if some asked me during my teenage, I would have said A Banker, as these changes with the time because of the people who I meet and how they influence my decision making.

...think about where will I be in five, ten, and twenty years. To me, it is surreal thinking that I will be finished with school in 5 years because I have been in school for such a long time and I am only 18 years old. I hope to fulfill each and every milestone that I set for myself, but it takes a lot of hard work. Even though I anticipate my life to be a certain way, anything can happen and I never know what the future holds for me. In 5 years, I see myself finishing my Master’s, having a job that can pay my bills, and being in a relationship. Identifying milestones is not difficult. Effectively fulfilling them, is the hardest part. For me, motivation is key. If I am motivated, I can do almost anything. I will push myself above and beyond. In order to complete my Master’s, I have to be motivated to effectively finish on time. I am motivated to finish school because I know I want work with children and have a good steady job. If I would not be motivated, I would not be in school and working hard to finish. Working on a job is important to me because it helps me pay for school and bills. I need to work during school because I need to support myself during my time in school. In 10 years, I see myself finished with school, working with children, and being in a relationship and maybe even married. 10 years is a long time and so many different things can happen and occur during that time. Whether or not I am going to go into occupation therapy or speech pathology, I eventually want...

...In the job searching I have done over the past years and the research I have done this week I have discovered what I found 7 years ago and what I found out today remains the same. Most companies like “Turn 5” are looking for you to have your AA or BFA in Graphic Design and 1-2 years’ experience to become junior staff designer. I qualify for most job but most are looking for someone to have their BFA and at least 2 years of professional experience. I have a lot of free-lance experience but not professional and I am very behind on software updates. I feel as soon as I brush up on my skills with the new software and show these companies that I am taking the initiative and going back to school it will vastly increase my probability of getting a good job. At this moment I feel almost unmarketable on paper but I know I am more than able to do all the specific skills that are requested. Turn 5 American Muscle is seeking a designer that has core graphic design principles that include; typography, composition, and color theory.

...Hard Look Inside Jason Pharr As I write this essay, I can say I am completely and utterly stressed out. Between all the calls from debt collectors, the tickets I am having to pay off, and all of my other bills and medical expenses that I am unable to pay, I can honestly say that I am concerned with where my life has gotten to over the course of the last year. Around two years ago, I was completely debt free, had a great job, and had never even taken a drink of alcohol or recieved a single ticket for anything. I had no worries, no stress, and no concerns what-so-ever for where I would be within a year or two. That's when things started heading downhill entirely. I began drinking, and completely let it take over my life, with all the stigmas attached. I became more and more reckless, and my decisions became more and more rash. I had never had much pressure in my life, but started feeling it from all directions. My recklessness carried over to the way I drove, and spent money, and handled social situations. That's what lead to all my current financial pressures. Between the tickets, the court fees, and all the expenses I had incured through my lifestyle, I had dug myself into a hole so deep that I couldn't see myself getting out of it any time within the forseable future. I know now that in order to address these bad habbits, I must change my lifestyle entirely, and know my weaknesses well enough to know what destructive habbits I should stay away from entirely. My...

...After we reviewed their chart we were to sit down and have a therapeutic conversation with them. I had a very pleasant lady who had Alzheimer’s. She was sitting on the piano bench by herself when I approached her and ask if she minded if I sit down for a while and talked with her. She was alert and orientated times four she was dressed appropriate to the weather. She can move around with a walker but is very unsteady. She was able to tell me about more recent events in her rather than about her past. I could clearly see that she had long-term memory problems. After reviewing her chart, I went over and introduced myself and asked if it was okay if we sat down together and talk for a while. Client | Nurse | Analysis | | Good morning. My name is Jennifer and I am a RN-student. How are you doing this morning? | I introduced myself because I thought it would make the patient more comfortable knowing who I was. I used open ended question. | My name is MS. Doing okay just sitting here. | Well that’s good. Is it okay if I sit down and talk to you for a little while before lunch? | The patient was sitting on the piano bench; she smiled and told me her name. She seemed to be relaxed. I then ask her if I could sit down and talk to her. I was offering myself to her to keep her company. | Okay that’s fine. | How was your morning? | She seemed very happy to have someone to talk to. I then asked her about her morning by using open ended question....

I had friends that I was forced to hang out with and some that just grew with me and now we are in same school or classes. 2. Tell about a time when your friends’ opinions were different than your parents’ and how you felt about it. There have been a lot of times where my friends made fun of me because of my parent’s decision to not allow me to do specific things.

How did your ability to manage your emotions change from elementary school to middle and then to high school? Well, I have managed my emotions to be truthful by knowing that I only have a few years left to living with my mom, then I can do anything I want to. I will be 18 and not have to worry about what I am told by my parent or sister. 4. Was your parents’ or your friends’ view of you more important to you when you were a teenager?

...I have always been sure of myself. Since I was a young child my parents instilled in my brother and I that we always are sure of whom we are and be confident in that as well. Knowing that I was taught to always be sure of myself, I developed a sense of confidence about my self. Something like an aura, when I would walk into a room. With that sense of pride there also came a sense of entitlement. I felt as though I was very special and that I should be praised for the things I did growing up because I was so original and so unique. I remember in pre-school I got an award at our graduation for being the bossiest person in the classroom. Some people would have been offended by that, however, I was so proud that I got that award. Even today, when someone says I’m bossy I should be offended but often times I’m not because I have accepted the fact that it is who I am regardless if I like it or not. So after that introduction it should be no surprise that Narcissistic Personality Disorder was the highest rank personality disorder that I ranked for. Understanding that I narcissism is something that could easily be seen in me it is almost a most that I keep myself in check, meaning I maintain my humility while in therapy. Not to think too highly of myself and ensure that I will continue to have empathy and sympathy towards to clients that I will see in therapy. However there are some pros and cons to having a tad bit NPD. I could easily become a role model because I think high of myself...

...the questionnaires I will give a summary of what I came to realize and my scores on the questionnaires. This will allow you to get an idea of what I have learned about fitness and how it relates to everyone differently and how it related to me. It will be a brief summary but it is what I feel is the most important part of this assignment. Upon completion of these questionnaires and the weekly reading I learned a lot about myself and where I am physically. One thing that caught my eye was how the book talked about the different stages of motivational readiness for change and how we move through them. After reading about this and doing the questionnaires I realize that I was in stage 3 “Doing some physical activity” (Marcus & Forsyth, 2009 p. 15). That meant a lot to me because recently I start going to the gym again and also the fact that I was making progress in a healthier direction. I knew I was making the right choice by going to the gym but would get frustrated because I was not going 5 days a week and was not seeing the results I wanted but this showed me I was making progress in the cognitive section of the stages. So it lifted my spirits a bit more and gave me more motivation to keep going. Questionnaire 4.1 and processes of change and this was 40 questions about my level of physical activity over the last month or so. I realize that I do stay active for some part of my life but I do not go above and beyond in ensuring that I stay active. I do not set up reminders...

...to my scores, I am most comfortable with ‘modeling the way’ which I gave myself a score of 25 and it was my highest self-rating and observers rating. I believe this is the case because I always try to set the best example, one that is easily understood and to follow so that others can be successful as well. I set clear goals and plans in my initiatives and often implement plans to help me achieve those as well as regularly review my progress and success to see if there are noticeable improvements to be made. I have strong beliefs regarding leadership and make them known to others. From taking all of the Leadership classes with Wayne Hogue at LSUS, my belief that everyone should act with honesty, integrity, and ethics has only strengthened over the years. I know that I make mistakes, and that occasionally I make a wrong decision, but it is how you react and handle the situation that matters most and shows who really are. I am comfortable with ‘modeling the way’ largely because of my work ethics. I truly do love working and am okay with working more hours or working harder than others because it is one thing that I can control and be proud of. I believe that everyone has room for improvement and that by keeping an open mind, and by always continuing to learn that I can continue to become a better person and role model. Areas for Improvement According to the chart my lowest percentile score given by myself is ‘encouraging the heart’. With a self-score of 24, I fell roughly in...

...DAY OF JUDGMENT By Amr Khaled Start thinking about Judgment Day! But I don't want to be just telling stories, I want you to start imagining, with all your senses that you are there now. I'll try as hard as I can to draw a picture just as if you were really standing there. But please, forget that I am giving a lecture now, I'm not. We are just sitting together, imagining together what will happen on Resurrection Day (Judgment Day). My aim today is not to scare you. My aim is to tell you the facts about that day. How will it begin? "The Trumpet will just be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then a second one will be sounded, when, behold, you will be standing and looking on!" "The trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! From the sepulchers (men) will rush forth to their Lord!" Today we will only speak about one topic– the standing on resurrection day waiting for judgment. After the trumpet is blown, your body parts start to join together, and your bones start to merge once more. Your brain starts thinking, your eyes open and you start to have life back again. Imagine what this great blow will do? It will bring back all the sand of earth that you were made from thousands of years ago. Imagine the greatness and power of this blow? The trumpet width is like the width of earth and skies together. Your grave cracks and opens from the mightiness of the blow. Are you visualizing this great...

...June 1997, Born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa. Yes I am white, and no I don’t have giraffes or elephants in my back garden, but to be really honest I wish I did, unfortunately the world isn’t a wish granting factory. I am, if you haven’t realized by now, a photography loving, hair whipping, nail biting, toe pointing, tongue rolling, tea drinking, music listening, beach living girl with a pale face and pretty much zero confidence, I guess that’s about enough about myself for now. Why am I homeschooling? Well that’s not exactly a trick question, I’m home schooling because well quite frankly, I screwed up in mainstream schooling but that’s a whole other story for another day, that hopefully will never come. So besides the fact that I messed up, I am homeschooling because I am able to work at my own pace and not have to worry about competition between myself and other students, as well as the fact that, I actually get to spend 9 hours with people I actually want to be around, how kiff is that? Not bragging or anything, but our school is way better than any mainstream school. Diana’s homeschooling academy has not only given me a sense of responsibility and independence in a way, but it’s also given me hope. A hope that one day I’ll be able to achieve great things, things that I would have never been able to discover in any other environment. This school has also given me the opportunity to start finding myself, the true me, not the me that teachers, students, parents...
