Personal Experience : A Personal Narrative Experience In My Child

My Virtual Child experience: I was in labor for 8 hours and my son was going into distress. I had an emergency C-section but after 10 minutes I delivered a healthy boy. His Apgar score was great and I was able to bond with him. I named him Phil because I enjoy the Rugrats cartoon. He does not look nothing like me or dad, he is light brown and bald. My babies eating patterns are consistent he was gaining weight. I was asked if I was going to change my feeding style but I believe the baby will cry

children in her class. She and my father, Paul, met through a mutual friend while attending Northwestern. She was going for her teaching degree, while he was going for management. I was about three when my parents decided that they were content with only having one child. My mother would be surrounded by more than 20 children, all day and my father would often be working. My parents got a gray cat, Oscar and a corgi, Frank when they first got married. I was reorganizing my desk, the sticky notes in size

In my short 34 hours of volunteering at Espial Child Environment, I was able to gain so much knowledge; not only through my mentor, but the children as well. Being able to spend so much time with the children has really been a great opportunity to see them grow both physically and mentally. While assessing how developed the different ages are, I was also able to see how similar they are. Although it was difficult trying to find time, and manage it; developing my project taught me how to be more organized

Autoethnography means a way for me to provide meaning of my experiences at a in-depth level and “opportunities to cast a critical eye on aspects of own practice” (Lambrek, 2005, p. 230). As I looked into the research paper which used autoethnography as method people expressed that it offered them a way to expand their knowledge, to achieve reflective insights that would not have happened through other methods of research. During (2009) L. Alwin stated that autoethnography enabled him to “get at another

Scholarly personal narrative (SPN) was developed by Robert Nash who integrated the personal story into resect. SPN study tells a story that can clarify an issue beyond a specific case studied (p. 127, Brookfield). SPN is a research method that brings the researcher’s personal experience as a legitimate study form (p. 1, Heidelberger & Uecker). Since the beginning of history, humanity acknowledge the value of sharing personal experiences is a handy efficient form of passing knowledge. Storytelling

Personal narratives have deep origins in ancient history. Narratives and personal essays were used by ancient writers and philosophers like Cicero, Seneca, and Plutarch to reflect on their individual experiences. The actual idea of the personal essay was named and perfected by late 16th century writer Michel de Montaigne, who attempted, or essayed, to describe his experiences in the context of the world around him. He claimed that “the subject of my work is me.” In other words, the purpose of the

The purpose of this study is to resolve the what-about meaning of my life from past to present through discovery in my solitary journey on “Exulansis” through the lens of existentialism. Other than the theories like relfective practices, self-narrative research and autoethnography I use a narrative inquiry approach to track back the significant experiences in my life. Autoethnography is a qualitative research approach which informs my inquiry. Although there is not one precise definition to this evolving

Life Experiences and Specific Issues My personal philosophy of life and my philosophy of counseling has been deeply affected by my life experiences as a young child and also as an adult. I am fortunate that my life has been a good life and I consider myself to be fortunate to have to have good parents and many loving family members. I do not recall having any events in my childhood that I would consider to be abusive or neglectful on the part of my family, and for that I consider myself to be

My philosophy of education is that every child should receive high quality education that is inclusive, relevant and meaningful to their life. I am a firm believer of making pedagogy relatable to my students. My vision is driven by my personal experiences with the American school system. I was what is thought of as “A child at risk”. I am an immigrant, black, Muslim student. My life is complex as I am a part of multiple marginalized groups. Most of my teachers looked at me in a pity way. They always

CHILDREN AND TRAUMA A STUDY OF SELECT TESTIMONIO LITERATURE OR NARRATIVE Literature has allowed us to explore beyond the limits of this world and also the human psyche. Among that are certain literary works which is capable of posing a social challenge by setting out to explore the pain, suffering and trauma through self narratives, testimonies and flashbacks. My thesis will throw sufficient light on the self narrated traumatic experiences of children under various oppressing situations. Trauma is
