Being A Senior Research Paper

I hope to become an occupational therapist after I finish college. I always knew that I wanted to do something with people that involved helping them. I hope to provide support for those who believe that the things they used to do are now impossible. I want to be the person who helps them see that those things are possible, and they just need some help getting there. I also want to be the type of therapist who lets their patients know that whenever they need help I will be there to assist them. People feel hopeless if they are not able to do the things they always could, but I want to take that feeling and make it blossom into the wonderful feeling that hope can bring. People deserve to be happy in their bodies, and they should not feel ashamed

The massacre at Mystic greatly influenced the relationship between English settlers and the Indians would have for many years to come. By demolishing the Pequot, a clear image was set that the Indians and whites would never “live with themselves, each other and the land” said one historian. King Phillips war, an extension of the Pequot war, ended all violent resistance by Indians to English colonization, eventually leading to the continued growth of the Puritan population and expansion of land. As the Puritans spread out, they not only took the natives land, but took the very freedom they had come from England to attain; freedom from religious persecution. Indians were taught to reject their Indian identities and become “civilized” in “praying

Senior citizens are the people who are most likely to take multiple medications due to the occurring chronic conditions as the aging process continues. Given the several medicines they take, they are ironically the age group that is very much sensitive to medication side effects, both therapeutic and negative.

“What do you want to be when you graduate high school?,” my mother asked me. She has asked me this specific question my entire life but today she wanted an answer. I was seventeen, only a month away until my eighteenth birthday, so it was time for me to make a decision. I told her I did not know and she started to list a bunch of career options I could pursue. She continue to go on and on then, she said Occupational Therapist. My mom described to me what Occupational Therapist did and their job responsibilities. That is when I decided that this is the career for me. I am driven to become an Occupational Therapist because I want to provide for my future family, and to grow spiritually and mentally in the process.

The Senior Show is a relatively new concept at Pinecrest High School, where the seniors, and only seniors, who are part of the theater department produce, direct, cast, and star in a single play completely by themselves. This year the seniors chose to work on a play called Almost, Maine, by John Cariani. The show was performed on May 12, beginning at 7:00 pm.

Urban Dictionary states that Senioritis is “a crippling disease that strikes high school seniors. Symptoms include: laziness, an over-excessive wearing of sweatpants, athletic shorts, and sweatshirts. Also features a lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. The only known cure is a phenomenon known as Graduation.”

Senior year turned out to be one of the hardest years of my life. I found myself working extremely hard to do well in my classes and maintain good grades. Granted, this should be done all throughout a person’s academic career, but senior year was one of the most defining years of all. As a high school senior, I found myself making decisions that most definitely affected and impacted my future. I pushed myself to always do my absolute best and excel in each and every one of my classes, while I involved myself in a part of the business world through my part-time job, and engaged in community service, all while maintaining an excellent GPA. Being considered to receive a scholarship for my schooling would be a great opportunity in assisting me in achieving my future educational and life-long goals.

My academic plans are to major in pre-occupational therapy and minor in biology. After graduating, I plan to obtain a license in occupational therapy. I do not plan on leaving my home state. Eventually, I would be honored to contribute to the community that shaped me as a person.

One of my many goals in life, since I was younger, was to major in a profession where I can change the world and make it a better place. I want to help people and positively impact their lives. This is when I decided to major in occupational therapy and focus the profession towards youth. Hopefully, I will  be able to

The allegory of the cave by Plato is a theory concerning human perception. The point of the theory is to distinguish between two types of people. People who mistake sensory knowledge for the truth and people who really do see the truth. The "slaves" are taken into a cave and chained down and the experiment begins. Plato's cave can be confusing at first but once it is considered and researched it starts to become clear. Today there are many different stories that are very alike to the allegory of Plato's cave. One of these stories is the movie The Matrix.

I am planning to graduate with my bachelors in Therapeutic Recreation. I will then take that degree to enter the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program. I have chosen this occupation because it makes me happy to assist the people who want to get back in the routine in life. My patients age from 3 years old all the way to 100. I love being active, and it requires plenty of energy. My patients may have delayed development or may have traumatic brain damage. Patience is an important skill to have. I will have to get my hands dirty sometimes, but not all jobs are clean. My mother is a special education teacher in a PIP class. It is truly rewarding to me to help her kids with eating breakfast, and to simple as assisting with writing their name.

Occupational therapy combines my two loves the medical field and working with special needs children. While being employed in the school system as an occupational therapist, I will be interacting and working with many different people on a daily basis. We will all be considered part of the support staff and will work together to help the children achieve their goals. I will also be keeping the parents updated on a weekly basis of their child’s progress, along with attending each child’s IEP (individual education plan) conference. Becoming an occupational therapist is a very long and hard journey. During the process I will be taking many difficult classes, learning about numerous disabilities, taking lots of tests, learning how to use adaptive

As part of the Honors Program students are required to do an Honors thesis. This thesis requires you to complete a significant piece of original research or creative work in your undergraduate career. Whiles there’s no doubt that this might be challenging and time consuming, it is a great experience overall. This project encourages you to try something new, to expand your knowledge academically, or to creatively do something that you’re interested in.

It brings me pleasure knowing that I will be able to bring awareness about resources and adaptive devices to individuals in need. My immediate goals will be possible to achieve when becoming an Occupational Therapist because I will be able to work with children with mental disabilities such as Autism. One of the reasons this is my desired career choice is because I know that I will be constantly learning in this profession. Each person is diverse and the disability does not define them as my undergraduate

September 3rd, 2013 the day after Labor day was my first time walking through my high school halls my freshman year at Huntington High School in New York. I never thought my senior year would be at Hidden Valley High School back in Oregon. As a child I liked being hands on with things and it helped me learn the fastest, these characteristics showed me that I work best with my hands. My goal is to be a massage therapist because I love working in a calm environment and with my hands, I've always loved giving my mom a back massage and like reading about they way muscles grow. Another goal I will be striving for is to be a certified medical assistant for Asante Medical Center or a local doctor’s in the area. In order for me to reach these goals i designed an education plan. I will graduate in june 2017 and enroll myself at Rogue Community College here in Grants Pass, Oregon.
