...are needed. One of the health career in particular that are vastly increasing its numbers are Medical Assistants. In order to pursue the life of a medical assistant, education for the occupation must be sought out thoroughly and efficiently. To be a medical assistant, forms of educational experience vary from vocational schooling, on-the-job experience, or obtaining an associate's degree (Online Medical Assistant, 1). On-the job experience are usually obtained by those who want to get into the field right away and in most cases with no additional schooling. The highest form of education must be a...

...holy sites. For far too long, Harjo argues, Native American people have been seen as nothing more than a people ripe for exploitation and plunder, especially since relics and bones can fetch hefty prices at museums or amongst collectors of such rare items. Harjo's intended audience is a lay one; she assumes that most people have been very uninformed and passive about her topic; as such, she makes concerted efforts to inform and persuade her audience that the desecration and exploitation of her people must stop.Ultimately, while Harjo's essay does a very good job of establishing an ethical and emotional warrant so as to support her initial claim, I contend that she fails to completely convince me as to why studying Indian relics and skulls on the part of scientists is a useless endeavor. She raises up a point about the futility of such ethnographic / scientific studies on the bones, but does not include sufficient counterevidence to support her view. I would argue that the bones and relics do serve a vital purpose--yet Harjo seems to give up halfway through her argument about the issue of the relics' utility. | Rhetorical Analysis First Draft by Mr. KHarjo, Susan Shown.

I have always been the type to work hard at what I do. I try my best to get what I want. I thought of my accomplishments and I figured I was missing something. I had a job, but I knew it was going to be a dead end one. I was already a high school graduate, so I thought why not go back to college and further my education. I was on the road to success, after that idea. Choosing my program was not hard for me. I have a long line of family members that are in the health field. So why not I thought, I would be following in the footsteps of my elders so they can feel that they have set an example for me. I decided on becoming a Medical Assistant.

...on television is not always reality. Take the shows Law and Order: SVU and Hawaii 5-0. These shows reveal the aspects of detectives’ everyday lives inside the job. They have a high tolerance for violence and depict an unrealistic representation of certain occupations. Methodology: Reading two essays, researching television media and genres, observing two shows and participating in a Roundtable Discussion on American Media Images (RDAMI) were the steps I took in putting together my ideas on television media. “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie and “Where Have All the Parents Gone” by Barbara Dafoe Whitehead were the two essays I read for this paper. They develop ideas on what has an impact on American people and culture. I observed two episodes of two different television shows. Law and Order: SVU was one of the shows. Law and Order: SVU is a show about sexually based crimes, SVU meaning “Special Victims Unit”. “Friending Emily” and “Manhattan Vigil” were the two episodes with the main characters being senior detectives Olivia Benson and Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, detectives Nick Amara and Amanda Rollins, Sergeant John Munch and Captain Donald Cragen. Hawaii 5-0 was the other show I observed. Hawaii doesn't have its own state police force but the Governor has set up a special task force, which becomes known as "Five-0", to investigate serious crimes on the islands. “Popilikia”, which stands for misfortune in Hawaiian and...

...Jasmine Lofton Delta GEMS Presidential Essay Collin County Alumnae Chapter Delta Sigma Theta, Inc Jasmine Lofton THE STRONGEST WOMAN I HAVE EVER KNEW, AND THROUGH IT ALL I HAVE LEARNED “You can never give up, always believe in yourself and you can become anything you want to be.” This is something my mother always says to my sister and I as inspiration. The most important person in my life who has impacted it completely is my mother. She is my inspiration, she is even my hero. My mother was diagnosed with Discoid Lupus in the middle of March in 2007. Discoid Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that is limited to the skin, caused by the autoimmune system. Along with Discoid Lupus, she was also diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis also known as RA; this is also an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints. After finding out the diagnoses, the doctor tells her she won’t be able to work anymore. This was devastating for my mother to hear. Working was another life for her. She loved her job. She was a Pediatric Medical Assistant. She had been a MA since I was born in 1992. She loved working with pediatricians and fulfilling the needs of infants and children in the mist of having a cold or maybe even a tummy ache. Being given this news was terrible. All I could do was fell my heart pounding in my chest and my head spinning in the mist of confusion. I knew my mother was very independent and strong. She loved doing for herself, and other people.

...above mine. I told her I didn’t know anybody in our class and she said “You do now.” We’ve been friends ever since. Most boys think Liz is cute. She has long red hair, cascading over her shoulders. She laughs about everything and when she does, you see about a hundred white teeth – so bright, you almost need sunglasses. When she laughs, her eyes grow wide, glowing emerald green. Liz likes to dress kind of skater-ish, in camouflage pants, sweatshirts, and wristbands. But, she’s unpredictable, too. Sometimes she’ll wear overalls or a fancy dress. She must have three closets full of clothes, because she barely ever wears the same outfit twice. Liz is the most lively, animated character I’ve ever known. She’s always rushing around, trying to get the latest scoop on everybody. It’s like she’s in the FBI. Right before she shares important news, Liz tosses back her hair, takes a deep breath, and quickly looks side to side, to be sure the coast is clear. She never says anything mean about people, she just wants to know what’s going on. She always supports me in everything I want to do. Not many girls in our group of friends play sports, but when I told Liz I wanted to go out for basketball, she said “Go for it.” Now, she comes to see almost every game I play and cheer me on. Not only is Liz a tremendous supporter, she also trusts me to give her my honest opinion and to say what I feel. Last year, she thought Mrs. Jones gave her a lower math grade than she deserved. I told her the...

...To completely understand how William James got his start in Psychology, I think must first start with his father. William's father, Henry James Sr., was 1 of 13 children. His parents were Irish immigrants. Henry inherited wealth from his father before his own children were even born. When William was born, Henry and his wife Mary lived in New York City. There, Henry studied theology, philosophy, and mysticism. William James was born in New York City on January 11, 1842, to a deeply religious family. Henry often took the family for extended stays in Europe. He was a very devoted father. He wanted his children to have the sort of education so they might out-do others in knowledge. He enrolled them in fine schools, hired them gifted tutors, and made sure they went to museums, attended lectures, and the theater with regularity. William and two of his siblings would follow their father's educational efforts. His brother Henry became one of America's most famed novelists, and his sister Alice also acquired a literary reputation of her own after her diaries were published. Mary James complained of William that "The trouble with him is that he must express every fluctuation of feeling, and especially every unfavorable symptom, without reference to the effect upon those about him." It seems this introduction to the great philosopher and psychologist William James. It is also appropriate, his was life a reconsideration of spirituality and consciousness in relation to physiology and neuroscience...

...Health p. 1 Health Care Neonisha Terrell Introduction to Sociology Soc 101 Willie Whited March 8, 2010 Health p. 2 Health Care The research topic I have chosen is the United States healthcare system. There are about twenty percent of all Americans that lack any form of healthcare insurance, and then we have the ones that are underinsured. Consequently, a great number of Americans, many of these people are women and children; receive little or no healthcare at all. Many of those uninsured are actually working families who are not offered insurance through their employer, they cannot afford coverage, or earn too much to be eligible for Medicaid, the state's healthcare provider. The United States healthcare system should be just as good as or better than any other country because of the money we invest. Every industrialized nation has some kind of basic healthcare system for all of their citizens (McIntosh, Michael 2002). In a country like ours, it is a shame that we do not provide something that should be a basic human right to every citizen. The quality and amount of healthcare should not be a privilege to some while making others go without it. The amount of money you have or do not have should not dictate how you are treated when going to the doctor or hospital. The lack of healthcare in our country is one of the greatest social injustices of our society. Whether everyone has an ethically justifiable right to healthcare is debated in the United States...

...Real Essays From Stanford Medical Students Comments Regarding Plagiarism The essays contained within this document were written by current Stanford medical students and have been carefully read and reviewed by file reviewers, interviewers, and admissions staff and officers at Stanford Medical School as well as dozens of other medical schools across the country. We must emphasize that you need to be honest in writing your personal statements. If you borrow material or use quotes from other sources, make sure to credit them appropriately. Not giving credit where it is due is not only disastrous to your essay, but it is also illegal. Admissions officers read hundreds, and even thousands of personal statements each year, and have developed a fine tune sense for detecting plagiarism as well as remembering the essays they’ve read. You owe it to yourself to be hones, open, and sincere in writing your personal essay as it is a reflection of yourself and what is important in your life and your decision to pursue a career in medicine. Stanford Essays The following essays were written by real Stanford medical students in preparing their applications. We suggest that you read through all of the essays to get a diverse view of the types of themes and styles which have been successfully used for personal statements.

...This essay aims to reflect on an incident that took place during my six weeks practice placement on an elderly day care hospital. I chose this incident because it had a big impact on me due to the fact that I was not aware of the serious nature of feeding patients diagnosed with dysphagia as would be demonstrated in the critical incident. The model I have chosen to use is Gibbs (1988) reflective model because it gives a framework which I am able to follow in order to develop my understanding of the situation. Reflection is a process that involves gaining practical knowledge, the ability to get used to new situations, developing self-esteem and satisfaction as well as valuing professional practice (Taylor 2006). For the purpose of confidentiality and to protect the patient’s anonymity I have called her Tee, these measures are in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (2008) guidelines regarding consent and confidentiality. I was assigned to help feed Tee during lunch time, Tee had suffered a stroke, resulting in very limited speech, suffered from dysphagia. Dysphagia is a medical term for difficulty with swallowing and is common in patients with neurological disease, dementia and parkinson’s disease (Chang and Roberts 2011). Tee has a pureed diet and thickened fluids. I collected her meal and dessert from the trolley, sat next to Tee then started to feed her. After the first helping I proceeded and gave her a second helping while she still had food...
