One of the three highest scores I got was discovering your God given talents and I have noticed that I am looking and recognizing my talents that I was blessed with. I’m also trying to use the gifts to the best of my potential. I believe that God blessed me with the talent to become a teacher so I am studying to get my degree in education so that I may use my talent to teach students. The second highest score I received was the service which is being concerned for my community and taking action and I do think that I try to be concerned with any community that I may be living in that may mean when I’m in Salina living there for college or when I’m back home in Downs trying to make each of the communities to be a better place that may be helping or participating at a community event that may be taking place at

As a response to the client’s symptoms the nurse checked his vitals, and performed an assessment with emphasis on the neurological exam. One of the assessment findings were that his left eye was slightly drooping, he had significant vision loss in his left eye, high blood pressure, and slight muscle weakness on his left hand. Concerned with the findings, the nurse reported the findings to the doctor and the physician was concerned that he might have had a stroke so her ordered a head CT-scan as a diagnostic tool to evaluate for conditions such as a stroke, trauma, tumor, or head injury.

In reading for this assignment, I noticed that one of the first points had to do with thinking critically.

In the beginning, the text gives an example of the United States being based on a system of civil rights, and questioning the outcome of an alternative system: a society that instead values human rights.

First of all, ask Questions. Be curious. Because Asking Questions is the most important thing in critical thinking. For example, I ask myself why the artist used a certain color, note that the colors are the emotional language. Secondly, I will choose. Avoid an emotional response. In critical thinking I have to think with my brain, not with my heart. If I let my heart involved in the process this will block vision, it will not help to see the truth about any kind of art. Thirdly, describe the object. I have to classify each piece of art. Colors, harmony of colors, lines, method of drawing and painting size. Everything in the painting I have to classify it.
