HERE we go again. Remember last time how I felt like I had too much on my plate? Well, I have decided that one of my goals for the upcoming semester is to have more fun. In fact, I been forced to miss out time with my friends and people who I want to share some quality time because either a meeting is happening or there is simply too much to do that prevents me from taking a break; from having fun. Remember future college students that college is about studying and working hard, but it is also…

It wasn’t as if I had much of a choice. Actually there was. However, this would settle things once and for all. Although, there were assurances from the legal team (of the best criminal attorney’s in the country) that there was nothing to worry about, but a small chance is still a chance. I did discharged a firearm and my father did thrashed Gilbert something awful in front of a room filled of witnesses (most of which just happen to be close personal friends of the Tilley family). If you…

The client that I had in 3East was Marjorie. Marjorie was a great patient who was indeed a feisty lady. She lives in Des Moines and lives alone at home. Before admission to 3East, Marjorie was taken to the ER by recommendation of a home health physician due to high levels of glucose. In the ER, Marjorie began to get agitated as noted in the ER course notes. While being in the ER, they found that she had a UTI. The principle problem for admission to 3East was for Delirium; the Delirium would have…

I have never had much knowledge on any other religions or ideals other than Christianity because that is how I was raised. The extent of my knowledge of Buddhism was that of the “figurines” that they seemed to worship. Even that knowledge is not completely accurate. Being exposed to an Eastern Psychology class has and will be beneficial to develop my view of the world and the people in it. From the knowledge I have obtained so far from this class and article, I will discuss some of the more major…

When I first began using Investopedia, I had no investment knowledge. I did not know how buy a stock, neither knew how to sell it or trade it. Not knowing how to read stock, I always thought if the numbers were negative, the company was doing bad, and if the numbers were positive, the company was doing good; I didn’t think long-term, but only looked at the short term. This was because I never had an investment portfolio which I tracked or managed and I had no exposure to the stock market. In high…

I never understood myself to be a leader until I had to branch out on my own in a world where I was afraid. I always saw myself as being in someone else 's shadow and having to compete to be heard. What I never realized was that I had an impact on even the people I believed were leading me. As a child, I was definitely the more outspoken on between my sister and I. I adored my father and wanted to be like him; he was a missionary and a preacher, a perfect picture of traditional leadership. He is…

I had never spent much time evaluating my values system before taking on this assignment. I believed that I was wired to think the way I do, and that nothing in particular had to be the cause for my feelings on certain things. By writing this paper and learning about values, I was able to take a hard look at myself and figure out what my personal values stem from. My values relating to the key issues of women’s reproduction, poverty/money, health care in America, and minority groups have blossomed…

While traveling recently, I had a rude shock at the ATM. Due to insufficient funds, the bank wouldn 't allow me to withdraw money. I walked to another bank and tried my ATM card again. Again it was rejected. Now I was worried. Some ATMs seemed to have trouble with my bank card, but I had never been rejected by two banks in a row. And when a third ATM wouldn 't disperse money, I knew something was seriously wrong. I returned to the hotel where I was staying and used their computer to log on to my…

Before I even discovered that I had an intersex child, I fully intend to do some aspects of preparing for a child differently. There are a number of steps I would take in order to minimize the reinforcement of the gender binary: I would decline to have a gender revealing or gendered baby shower, I would have a list of favorite gender neutral names prepared, and if I had a separate nursery, it would have a unisex theme and color scheme. Additionally, my biggest and overarching goal would me to raise…

You know I have had a pretty darn good life my friend. I have met some great people, I married the love of my life, had two wonderful children with her, traveled the world and accomplished most of my goals. I wasn’t born poor but I wasn’t raised with a silver spoon in my life either. There was always food in the table thanks to my hard working father. I had everything I needed when I was a kid and my parents made sure of it. See I was born in the United States but my parents and I lived in Mexico…
