The client I chose to interview is a woman older than myself, however, someone I have a close personal relationship. It was within that closest as to why I asked to interview her. I felt it would be the least arkward in taking a sexual history of another individual. We have known each other for many years, though, not to the extent of our individual sexual histories. In the beginning of the interview, I thanked her for her time and candidacy, she was happy to contribute to my studies. Opening with her history, she is a woman of 56 years, in which, has completed menopause. Her partner died 5 years ago, she has been single, without sex ever since. As a child, she is the 3rd of five children, having two older brothers, along with a younger brother and sister. Though they would be her playmates at times, she mostly played with other children within her neighborhood. With that said, the client expressed how she experiencing her first loss of death, age 10, it was one of her childhood friends. In which, the girl was of Jewish decent, as her family where non-practicing Christians. As for her education she attended public school, nevering participating in any sports due to a car accident, injurying to her knees at the age of 8. Along with that she recalled most of her childhood as freguently being hospitalized for kidney issures, this went on from 5 years of age until her condition improved at 12 years old. At this point in the interview we began discussing first sexual
The last of the characteristics of childhood trauma are changed attitudes about life, people, and future possibilities (Terr, 1999). The traumatized child may lose hope of a fruitful future, may despise a particular gender due to abuse, or may even desire close contact with the same gender of the perpetrator. A last example demonstrating a traumatic characteristic is through a 16-year-old female client. A male family member sexually and physically abused this client as a child. Although most sexual assault victims may avoid persons of the same gender of the perpetrator, as described above, there are also victims that try to gain the attention of persons with the same gender of the perpetrator. This client demonstrates just that. The client is exceedingly flirtatious with male peers and staff of her residential facility. She has been caught several times attempting to perform sexual acts with her male peers and at times becomes very angry when she is not given the attention she desires from a male peer.
The messages that I grew up with when talking about sexual issues were confusing and shameful. My father was a sexual person, having created on my mother, involved in chat rooms, exchanging of pictures, touching himself and grabbing other guys genitals, explaining that it was common for guys to do. I was always uncomfortable being around my father out of fear what he may do in front of me which would embarrass me. Honestly, I did not know what was normal when it came to sexual messages, all I knew was that it appeared to be natural but I was still ashamed of it.
She spoke openly about sex with my sister, and told me that it was because my sister was honest with her. If I made a comment about the difference in treatment, my mother would say I was making it up – that if I had just been honest, she would’ve been more accepting of my sexuality. Growing up, my privacy was non-existent, with my parents rifling through my stuff for proof that I was hiding a scandalous lifestyle. I was constantly accused of hiding things, because I didn’t speak openly about my private life. I wasn’t open because I wasn’t given a safe space to do so.

I started the interview with straightforward questions. I asked her about her health and I asked her about her pain. She is currently taking a medication that is controlling her diabetes. Since she has been diagnosed with diabetes for more than ten years, I wanted to know more. I asked if she remembers why or how did she develop type 2 diabetes. During that time, Maria was under a lot of pressure. Her mother and her sister had recently died and her husband was making less than $70 per week. She was constantly worried that her life was falling apart. When I asked her about pain, my grandma told me she has chest pain. Due to her pain, she recently found out that she is diagnosed with
The assessment was conducted on a patient who was forty nine (49) years old bisexual, a white female and single, a Roman Catholic and who didn't have any child.

I think we need more people in the industry like Rich Homie Quan. I think this because Rich Homie Quan makes good music and doesn’t care about what anyone think or say about him. Rich Homie Quan is known for rapping and singing. Rich Homie Quan mostly raps about his life story and all the things that he been through. Like going to jail and talking about all the things he went through during his childhood.
I spent a lot of time with Julia's interview. She completely detests campus food, and appreciates the fact that she lives off campus this year and no longer has to depend on campus dining, as evidenced by her quote, "I don't eat on campus at all anymore because I live off campus and don't want to spend my money on overpriced food that is subpar..."

Determined attempt to gain an understanding of the “life course” of an older adult and what it means someone who is in their older adulthood, my main question is gathering and analyzing information about their personal experience in their stages of aging.

Being able to pick the right family was more difficult to do than I had originally thought it would be. I reflected on the readings from Leigh and one important thing that is said reminded me that during the interview, I needed to make sure that I was going to be able to not only understand what they are saying, but really hear their points of view without losing a sense of who I am as well as the beliefs that I have. In being able to hear and understand what is being said, I also needed to make sure that I was not passing judgement or categorizing them while they spoke. (Leigh, chapter 3, pgs 17-18). I feel that emotions can be raw without even starting the interview. I had no idea what their situation consists of, what some hidden struggles were, and to be
