Personal Narrative: I Am Middle Brain Dominance

I started my education in Erie, Pennslyviana.I attend McDowell High. I would say that we were one of the richer schools were I live. I am going to talk about my first assignment Brainology. I thought it was very interesting and it thought me a lot about how some people have different mindsets.

The brain-dead seldom seem like they’re dead. The rise and fall of their chests is so convincing, the ventilator seems like an ornament rather than the single source of oxygen that keeps their hearts beating. Their skin is warm to the touch, and condensation clings to the inside of the catheter from the fresh streams of body-temperature urine. Despite how peaceful they look, their bodies are undergoing progressive autolysis, utter and massive self-destruction. Without the helm of consciousness, my father and all of the patients in his section of the intensive care unit seemed adrift in a tiny boat on a wild, infinite sea – yet unconcerned about finding their way back to

All I remember is waking up in a complete blur, every muscle of my body felt as if it had been drained of its energy. I was exhausted and perplexed and in absolute darkness… What was happening? Why couldn’t I move? And more importantly, where was I? With any bit of strength I had left, I began to pry my eyes open just enough to see the ceiling of what looked like an ambulance where a man dressed in a navy blue paramedic uniform stood before me. He was rushing around gathering medical supplies when he must have noticed me because he stopped immediately and asked if I remembered my name. What kind of question is that? Of course I knew my…. Oh my god. I couldn’t remember my name. It

Your organization can distinguish itself by establishing a partnership with WRiTE BRAiN BOOKS. Mid- and post-program culminating events will draw attention to your efforts, increase opportunities for fund development, and trigger student retention and enrollment.

Dean and I stroll through the corridors visiting with each other and him generally showing me around the school and telling me where every one of my classes will be at. “ Yeah looks like we have the same class together. We should go ahead and over that way” Dean leads the pack and we wind up in a room that looks entirely like the past one, aside from this room is loaded posters dealing with the brain or other subjects such as how to defeat depression. The holo board showed Psychology: Brain-Wavelength Phenomenon. The teacher's name was Professor Killigrew, she was there before any of the other students it seemed and on time, unlike Professor Tyre, Golden bunched up hair slightly reveals a lean time-worn face that contains wide gray eyes. She was a fair skinned woman that showed she did was indeed a professor that spent many hours most likely in her study.

The three categories are very assertive, in the six to eight range, slightly above average or average, if scoring four to five, and preferring the tried and true, if in the zero to three range. I scored a five on the assessment; which would place me in the above average range.

During my sophomore year, I received the word of a neuroscience class offered at the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey. Although the school was an hour drive away, my gifted teacher and guidance counselor both agreed that it was an opportunity worth going after. After taking their advice, I decided to apply to see if I’d be eligible for the program. A few weeks later in early May, after the thought of the program slipped out of my mind, I received an email saying I had been accepted and classes would be starting in September. After scanning the email a few dozen times, the sense of accomplishment and pride rushed over me. Neuroscience has always been a topic of interest for me, and after receiving my acceptance, I was excited to finally dive into the world of the nervous system.

Right before July 4th it was one of the best memories with my family. It was a nice day and their was a breeze that I felt on my skin and the sound that made me feel calm. We were all laughing and everyone has a smile on their face. I was with my mom, dad, sister , and my godbrother. That day we went to Water Tower in downtown Chicago and went to my favorite store called Marbles The Brain Store. They have cool games and gadgets. After that we went to get food from food life and I had a really good pizza. It smelled like a freshly baked out the oven and when you bite into it cheese started to ooze out of the good pizza. It tastes really cheesy and the bread was baked just right.

I knew a person who went to school with me was born with a communication disorder and she couldn’t say her first words until she was in the 1st grade. The doctors told her parents that she had a neurological lag, but she was unsure what that meant. As of today she is 23 years old and she said that she doesn’t know what her diagnosis would be in today’s world but she does know the impact of what these early struggles had on her life. By the time she reached elementary school, she felt her differences. She felt like an outsider and that her school performances were poor, But it’s clear to her that she had both an expressive and receptive language disorder that impacted the way she processed and organized information. She said that when teachers

The results of the visual DNA test said I am a “Harmonizer”, a lover and hugger, sympathetic, reflective, sometimes reserved, deep thinker, with clear values and well-informed views. The results say that I am diligent, appreciate life, that I am fair and look at the big picture, I am loyal and supportive, and appreciate communication. According to the TAT test, I scored higher than the average person on achievement (9.38 vs. female average 5.6), need for power (4.17 vs. female average 1.8), positive emotions, (4.17 vs. female average 2.1), and on social words (13.54 vs. female average 12.0). I had zero percent on both self-reference vs. the female average of 0.8, and on negative emotions vs. the female average of 1.6.

To deal with the problem of dysfunctional families, Vance proposes a solution of stable family. The author’s grandmother took the decision that he will live with her to have a stable family environment which he was not getting from his parents. This stable family bonding helped him a lot in succeeding in his life. It helped him in his studies as well as in his social life. He was very satisfied from the home environment and thus able to concentrate all his attention towards his studies and positive behavior. Later when he was married, he formed a stable bond with his wife and stated that he is leading a better and happier life.

The test revealed I am equal in the areas of leadership and conscientiousness with a score of 67%. This is the only assessment where I scored in a low percentage in area of leadership, but maybe it is due to the number of questions. My score for sensibility is 83% and agreeableness is 100%. My feedback states that having equal scores in both conscientiousness and leadership makes me a leader whom others view as seeing the big picture with the ability to think strategically. In addition, I have a healthy concern for rules, but be aware I may seem careful and too inflexible to others. This is an important assessment where improvement is needed if I plan on motivating others to follow me. My last two scores were in the areas of sensibility and

Thinking of my future has always made me wonder and at times brings me great stress, but it is stress that arises in the mind in such a fascinating way. The human mind has always intrigued me in its complexity and functions. Neuroscience has been the major I am most inclined to and during the second semester of my junior year, I came across a medical explorer program listed as a community service opportunity in my area. I had taken the initiative in finding an opportunity in which I could experience something new and gain exposure into the medical field. I sought more information and made an appointment with Meg, the volunteer coordinator of the program. After an interview, I attended the first meeting conducted by the organization Pathways

Just thought I would point that out before any misconceptions were made regarding the results. According to the “Personality Spectrum” there are four areas that “define” an individual’s personality. Thinker, Organizer, Giver, and Adventurer. Here’s what I scored for all four areas: Thinker: 24, Organizer: 23, Giver: 17, and Adventurer: 16. Now I’m not an expert therefore I won’t even bother trying to explain those results in great detail. I will however tell you the basic information provided on pg. 68 of the Keys To Success: Building Analytical, Creative, and Practical Skills textbook, Thinker: Solving problems; Developing models and systems; Analytical and abstract thinking. Organizer: Responsibility, reliability; Neatness, organization, attention to detail; Comprehensive follow-through on tasks. Giver: Successful, close relationships; Making a difference in the world; Negotiation; Promoting peace. Adventurer: Courage and daring; Hands-on problem solving; Active and spontaneous style. (Note: this basic information is as stated basic, therefore not all possibilities are

I scored high in tall hierarchy and total score/mechanistic. I scored medium in formalization and centralization.
