Personal Narrative: A Day In The Life Of Senior Lacardy

For winter the mayor is moving the deprived off the streets and into the hospital. “The New York Civil Liberties Union is watchful. They question whether the rights of these people who live in our parks and doorways are being violated by involuntary hospitalization.” “I think the mayor’s notation is humane, but I fear it is something else as well. Raw humanity offends our sensibilities. We want to protect ourselves from an awareness of rags with voices that make no sense and scream forth in inarticulate rage. We do not wish to be reminded of the tentative state of our own well-being and sanity. And so, the troublesome presence is removed from the awareness of the electorate.” She agrees with the mayor, but sees a fault; we just want the poor out of the way, out of the streets. We want to get them out of our sight so that can stop bothering

Interviewee 3, Mrs. Homemaker, another native of Guyana, is a mother of four, and has happily relocated to South Ozone Park three years ago. Now that she’s been living there she says she doesn’t have any major complaints. She loves the neighborhood and so does her family. All of the neighbors look out for one another, and that’s one of the things she says she looks for in a neighborhood. Mrs. Homemaker tells me she sees no change in the crime in the area. The most she sees are fights and arguments among teenagers and young adults. She says this is only likely to occur when the weather’s nice, because that’s when everyone heads to the park so there’s a lot of people walking to and from passing by in front of her house. She has never seen any gangs or any type of criminal related activity in the neighborhood neither. There was another news story

Firstly, she went right into the dialogue that you have, and build off of with a patient (especially substance abuse ones), and how difficult it can sometimes be

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

I have been challenged by all of my professors to continuously go deeper with my work. However, this week something different came about because when a visiting artist and curator visited. The curator said “A lot of my students are good at showing things one way but not multiple ways.” This affirmation settle in my spirit because currently I am working to find different ways to express loneliness and examine it from the many angles and avenues it has to offer.

2014 Fall Semester in the begining was going pretty good i was excited to began school , adapting to the new college life, and interacting with friends and new people. I was attending all my classes on time , studying , and completing the required assigments that needed to be done. I also was working a full-time at Gensis Logistics it wasnt easy trying to manage my schedule , but i tried to make it work the best i could. MTE 1 , 3 , and SDV was a breeze to me I was completing my assigments , studying , and understanding the information that was given to me. Now on the otherhand ENG wasn't hard for me i just didnt understand the content that was teached by the teacher. English was always the strongest subject for me so i couldnt understand why it was such a problem in college , maybe it was the teacher and her teaching methods. I never understood any information that was given it seemed to me like our class was always off topic one class period we would talk english, and then another class period we would talk about something else besides english. Then she assigned papers and assigments that was unfamilar to me it seem like everytime she assigned the class papers

The neighborhood has been so peaceful and full of joy, that’s why they choose to stay around and build there because they loved the neighborhood so much even my grandmothers brother lives in the neighborhood. Most recently my grandparents had a bullet come in the house from the roof and they have never had this problem before. My grandmother was sitting only some steps away from where the bullet had landed, so we were scared out of our mind. We weren’t expecting anything like that to happen to us because we don’t have any problems with anyone. So we called the Ferguson police department, and they had come by and they told us it was nothing they could do. They told us that some people had called about people shooting 4 or 5 blocks away from us, but we just didn’t understand how it had come across the way and hit the house. That was the only problem we had with Ferguson.

I am from a little town call Laplace. It is about 40 minutes away from New Orleans, Louisiana. I am a single mother of a beautiful daughter that is two years old, and she is very active! We love to go to New Orleans and visit the zoo, the aquarium, the children’s museum, have picnics at the river front, and more! She is also enrolled in dance classes, which leaves me with little time for my own hobbies. When I found out I was pregnant, I had quit my job, move a hour and a half away from home, took a break from school, and became a stay at home mom. While I enjoyed spending all my time with my daughter, I grew tired of staying home all day and just cleaning and cooking. After a year and a half, I decided to go back to work and found a job as

life is sort of like a huge football game. I believe this because to win a football game it takes diligence, dedication and motivation. This is often true in life and so for , you need to work vigorous at what you are doing, and love what you do. It takes dedication because you would like to be a perfectionist at what you're doing otherwise you can never get anyplace in life. It additionally takes motivation as a result of what you require to possess the state of mind to begin something, and follow through, time after time, to get it right, even if it’s something I may not wish to have to do.

Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love as the people say, but is it full of love? That’s the question everyone thinks about nowadays. On the northside of Philadelphia, the cost of speaking out against violence might be risking your life. But keeping quiet has a steep price too, in this part of the city. Having to live in this neighborhood may seem like any other neighborhood, kids running around playing but, that's to say the least. Homicide is the topic that is mostly talked about in this community where gangs, drugs and gun control are talked about in the community as well as, their freedom of speech. A community where someone's death is talked about than what they are planning to do for summer break.

This day today is a hard one for all of us. Losing a loved one is the saddest event in our lives. When you lose a loved one, your heart feels heavy and sad. And that’s what I am going through right now.

My grandma was born in 1944 on Finnoy a small island outside of Stavanger on the southwest coast of Norway while Norway was still occupied by Nazis. When she was four years old her family immigrated to the US. They came to the US to save up money after the bad economy in Norway post WW2. She started school in Seattle until halfway through her third grade year, Her family moved back to Norway. Halfway through her sixth grade year her parents decided to permanently immigrate to the US. Among the reasons for immigrating permanently to the US was education only going through the eighth grade in Norway. Almost all of her relatives stayed on the island and in Seattle they had no relatives.

Dear Mr. Parrish, When I joined AP English I had no idea what I was signing up for. I would love to be able to say that I ‘gave this class my all’ and went ‘above and beyond’ in a strive to succeed to the best of my ability. Unfortunately, I can’t. I slid by with C’s, procrastinating my major essays until the night before they were due, turned assignments in late and binged read the articles right before a quiz. When given the prompt for the major essay’s I would have an array of ideas flash through my head. I’d hold on to those ideas for a moment, then next thing I knew the motivation was gone and I was sitting at my computer at 1 am preparing an essay that I could never feel proud of. In my attempt to reflect on my time in this class

My grandfather recently passed away 6 months ago. So I have personally witnessed my grandmother go through the grieving process as well as deal with her own sickness. Unfortunately my grandmother will have to enter a nursing home because my mother can no longer tend to her needs. This is a difficult time for my family because my grandmother doesn't want to go into a nursing home, but she requires 24/7 care. For my interview I chose the neighbors mother who’s situation, age and lifestyle are very similar to my grandmother’s. Her name is Lucy and she is 82 yrs. old living with her oldest daughter. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome to the questions I asked her.
