My Joy Of Life: My First Day At The ABP

The conversation then developed into him talking about his studies and his experiences as an architect. He made us introduce ourselves. I didn’t feel shy, for I had practiced this enough in my Speech class in the summer. After introducing myself, he gave me a mysterious look and stated that I was the first Early College student he had ever taught. I sat down feeling more relaxed and light, and the introductions continued. As many of the other classes, the first day was only of introduction and foreshadowing the works that would be present in the future. It was 6:50 p.m. and the class had ended. I picked up my backpack and pushed in my chair, but as I walked towards the exit, I looked at him but he was already looking at me and he smiled. I smiled back and opened the doors. As I walked back towards the cafeteria, I was reading the syllabus again, still examining the calming detail in it and reviewing the projects and tests. I entered the cafeteria and there were less than 5 students. I walked in the concrete sidewalk again and felt the autumn’s cold breeze hit my cheek. The sun was down but it’s warm and calming colors were still visible. The warm red-yellowish

My second clinical day took place on September 24th, 2015 at Saint Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, New Jersey. My preceptor Maria Brilhante, MSN, RN, allowed me to observe the morning huddle that took place with all the nurse managers that are in the hospital. The purpose of this huddle was to keep the director of nursing informed about the census on each unit. I found this processed to be very uniformed and professional because the DON was engaged. The day went on with me attending meetings on how managers could implement plans to contain cost for the hospital. Maria did her daily rounds on her patients and her nursing staff. She has a folder that contains papers on how each nurse is progressing from the time they get off orientation. Her motto to the nurses is, “You are good at what you do, so when I coach don’t take offense. I am only trying to get you to be great”. This boost their confidence which I thought to be important.

Her ray of love has even brought six kids to this gorgeous state. She had four of them in a life span of six years from the age eighteen to twenty-four. Seven years later she had my sister Chrissy and nine years after that she had me. She would do anything to make this family shine brighter and has shown me to do the same. Her love and affection

In the following journal, I will discuss observations that I made and thoughts that I had during my first night shift at Rady Children’s Hospital. In particular, this journal will address the theme of discernment. According to Jenny Gribble, the process of discerning involves wisdom and experience, as well as observation and biological knowledge. This first shift gave me plenty of opportunities to watch how differently people throughout the hospital employ their own discernment when assessing situations and making decisions related to patient care.

The year started out as expected; girls would come up to me during lunch and ask if I would like to sit with them. I learned names through others’ conversations, but never used them. I never really had taken social opportunity, even when offered to me in such an upfront manner. In no time I saw the mistake. I should have taken their offers; for this school, the staff, the students - were ruthless. Garbage and harsh whispers met my face every day. Prior to attending

I attended school regularly, associating myself with the same group of friends. Social statues were not yet established at such a young age, although there was one girl in my class named Shanese who nobody ever seemed to associate themselves with. She was new to the school; quiet, unobtrusive and she always seemed to have a melancholy attitude. Similarly to many other students in the class, I disregarded Shanese and continued with my normal activities until one day when I decided to pursue my curiosity about this discreet girl. It was time for recess, and I told my other friends to go to the swings without me. Instead of following them, I made an effort to introduce myself to Shanese and invite her to the see-saw with me. She agreed, with a seemingly uncertain response, most likely because nobody had ever approached her in such a way. As we silently made our way through the tire pellets to

When going through life, everyone needs a person that will be there with them every step of the way. A person to lean on to overcome the hard times and someone to rejoice with when life is at its highest moments. Thankfully for me, that particular person came to be a minute before I came into this world. My twin sister Kayla Skye Horton is truly my other half in life for an endless amount of reasons. However, due to the fact of time being a determinant in every aspect of life, there are qualities that my Kayla possesses that outshine the others.

It was the kind of love that would never fade. Even though, she is married to Tom, I knew she could never love that bastard like she loves me.

She is the one I want, the one who’s there for me, and the woman I am going to marry.

So when I left Economics I saw Nykeria (side chick) and I gave her a hug. I asked her “ Do you know why Amani is castigating me because she hasn’t spoken to me all morning.” Nykeria didn’t know. She said maybe she Amani knows about “us”. Later on as the day went by I saw Trinity, Faith, and Chloe who are all my side chicks as well. They also were very cold to me for some odd reason and didn’t want to speak to me. It seemed like I had committed a heinous crime against them. When the bell rang for school to get out I went to the bathroom. As I was getting ready to finish using the restroom, I noticed a surreptitious object moving across the restroom. I was terrified. As I walked out of the stall, almost immediately I was captured by a mysterious person. Someone through a bag over my head so I couldn’t see where I was going. I was also tied and gaged as well. I could feel myself being dragged into a deep dark part of the school. When the fiend unmasked me I was in the school basement sitting in a chair with my hands tied behind my back and one light over my head. Suddenly I saw who captured me step

To this day Maria is my ride or die, we kept growing up and when my father got me a car for my birthday it became even better. We both see each other almost every week and hang out to eat, shop, or simply go over each others house. We both have so many similarities in our lives and personalities, we definitely never take that for granted. She has persistently gotten me through all of my rough patches, with that being said, every time we talk she knew what I need to hear to get me through or get ahead of it in life. Nonetheless, we are very alike, but we still obviously have our differences, yet I admire how we will always cooperate and try to imagine and picture ourselves in the other person’s position. She always gives me her best friend and at the same time her motherly advice. She is kind hearted, but is not afraid to rip the bandage when needed. We both gossip and laugh about everything! Our conversations can go on for the longest time. There is nothing but love to the fact that we will manage our time for each other even if our schedules are a little hassled.

She understood perseverance and the importance of people and she carried on against all odds. The last time I spoke to her, she knew exactly who I was, despite
