Personal Narrative: My Fight For Recovery

My personal goals are centered on healing. In this world of decreasing resources and increasing and ever diverse populations, there are unmet needs, confusions, and misunderstandings—the very stuff of conflicts and wars. It has been my experience and observation that what the world (and especially me) needs most is a transformation that involves healing, which I believe can lead to a greater measure of peace. That is to say, I have come from a heritage that is troubled with addictions and the abuse and generational cycles of violence that so often accompany addictions. However, I am a survivor, and I continually strive to go forward healing from this past. In time, I came to acknowledge my need for skills in conflict transformation and peace

Following an auto-accident, you could face a long road to recovery. The initial effects of an accident can be overwhelming and painful however with treatment, patience and perseverance, you can find a new optimum level of health for you. It is important to keep in mind that you may not fully recover from your injuries. Even minor injuries can naturally heal in ways that could create new problems down the road. For example, some broken bones can heal in a way that produces bony protrusions which, while they may not be painful, can result in bumps under the skin and extra stress on the surrounding tissues. Similarly, sometimes fractures need to be repaired using hardware such as pins and screws implanted during surgery. Many times these can be taken out down the road as your body heals, however in some cases it is most advantageous to leave them in permanently. These may or may not cause aching or stiffness for the rest of your life. Even if taken out, you will need physical therapy to rebuild your original range of motion and strength. It is important to discuss with your

The state of resiliency is the competence to recover quickly from difficulties; resilient individuals are efficient in avoiding anguish. In the past I have encountered multiple situations where there was no option but to be resilient. At a young age I experienced homelessness. My mother could not pay the bills in the apartment, so we were evicted. Imagine being led astray not knowing when the struggling times were going to end and then having to undertake school. That was a very arduous time for me being that I was only a freshman. Living in that position was not a thrill; we wondered from place to place like drifters. The steadiest time period was when my family and I slept on my mom’s coworker’s living room floor that lasted about 8 months. Because of this financial depression

After suffering the past four years from multiple concussions with limited help, you begin to feel that recovering is just about impossible. I have essentially been at the same recovery level the past four years with only small improvements in my well-being. The Doctors I had gone to in the past were very limited in what they could do for me. Until rcently if you asked me if I ever felt I would be able to fully recovery from my concussions the answer would be, no. This answer completely changed after returning from Cerebrum Health Centers in Dallas, Texas. I was very fortunate to have come across Cerebrum when I was looking for information for my website. Shortly after I had found out about the Brain Center I was on a plane to Dallas to go

February 2015 I woke up feeling the need to vomit and I had a bad headache that night I barely got any sleep the next morning my mom made an appointment we got to the doctor's office, with a series of tests they sent me to the hospital to get more tests done the tests took forever later we found out that I needed to go into surgery because my VP shunt broke a day later I was released and on the road to recovery.

It’s been a year since the incident. Everyone is either gone or is trying to leave but the wealthy who are isolated from the rest of the nation, living large. We all thought it was possible, but no one thought it would actually happen. We didn’t think this country would run itself so far into the ground that it is beyond recovery. No one thought he could do this. Tuesday, November 8, 2016. The day it all started, the day he came to power. Everyone was either watching it happen live or asleep in their beds. Once morning came it was official, he became our president.

Parents are protective of their children and at times tend to monitor their child’s every move to make sure they don’t get injured. At times, as kids, we may see our parents’ vigilance as them being overprotective until tragedy strikes. Being the youngest of my family and a girl indicated all eyes were and are on me. At times children assume they know more than their parents until the unexpected occurs. I was once in this situation when I was 10 years old I decided to clown around while my Mom was asleep and completely shattered my wrist which then led to much worse. Although that experience wasn’t thrilling I was able to gain purpose from it. I learned to be patient, remain faithful and be grateful!

When I was 16 years of age, I was put into a rehab program for two weeks. I remember how angry I was that I had to go to this program. It was not me with the problem, it was all my parents fault and they should be the ones that were getting help. I had to attend group meetings all day and speak about my problems. As the week past, I began to enjoy talking in groups and enjoyed being a part of the groups that then became my friends. I was introduced technique’s, like keeping a daily journal to help me cope with the way I was feeling and learned that I am in control of my own life. I also learned that I am responsible for my actions, nobody else. That institution, as well as the counselors/helper gave me something that stuck with me my entire

A patient experience that stands out as significant was the day my evening patient cancelled his or her appointment. On this day, I found a patient at the CSU. When I first approached this individual, he refused to go to the clinic. I explained to him that there is no cost for an assessment and that it is up to him to accept treatment or not. When he came in to the clinic, he looked nervous. I explained everything before starting the assessment to help him feel comfortable. After the assessment I told him about the findings. I explained to him what gingivitis is and what he can do as an individual to help bring his gums back to health. I talked to him about the consequences and the risks associated if he refused to decline treatment. He was

I come from a developing Country myself, which always required for growing the Country. My Family are already refugees from Isreal. I have worked in the seconed biggest refugee camp in the world ( Zaatri Refugee Camp in Jordan since it started chronichally with the syrian crisis with Morethanshelters , teir tents and move their tents and they were reseilent enough to come up with a way to help them carry on with this hardship life and live in a Caravan or a makeshift camp in Jordan. I am an advior for Urbancore which is a Danish start up that Goal is to help refugees and less foutunates to build up their living. We work with archaticts to find the best ways to establish a difnity of living through our Project that will be in Jordan. I am applying

Finding your way out of the problem is not easy. It is just like maze where you have to find the right path to get out. Therapy treatment for cancer does not really work at best unless family member stay strong but it was getting hard to handle her because the symptoms were getting worse and it was hurtful to see someone you care about in pain. Looking at her condition everyday made me want to get her out of this problem more and more every day. It was this sudden moment when I realized that in order for me to be able to help not just her but there are millions of people out there who have same illness and pain. I made my decision which was becoming a doctor. Doctor is the most helpful and correct way of me helping my community and country.

I knew as soon as it happened it would break me beyond repair. Hard enough that recovery seems almost impossible.

I’ve recently submitted my previous reports of my withdrawals from the two courses that resulted poorly along with medical reports. Recently, I’m doing a poor job on a certain class due to the late recovery at the end of the semester. I am aware of my withdrawal limit reached. It was a difficult semester as I was struggling with no official documentation to register for the Students with Disabilities Services. Because of my mental condition from the previous year and wasn’t provided from my difficult mother, led me to make the choice to consult again with a psychologist from the University. After my second consultation, and he provided me a medical to send for review. After this semester, I’m going to go for summer term by selecting non-difficult

Every morning I wake up at the same time, eight thirty with a hangover or a headache. It depends on the fiance. If he gets a fifth, drinking it is, if he comes home with an attitude, headache. I get up, take pain killers, start coffee for Phillip and I, shower, get my coffee, wake Phillip up and, well, get to morning business with him. Ten minutes later, Phillip and I get dressed and get in the car. "Kayla! You drive like a fucking idiot!" he screamed, closing his bloodshot eyes. I know he's high, I am only driving fifty miles per hour. My phone was ringing, i looked at it, but my eyes shifted, I refuse to pick up my phone while driving. It's the right thing, 'Stay Alive. Don't text and Drive', say so, say so. After a few seconds I look at

Messing around when I was little was a very common thing. I would play many games with my brother and sister. One day, I was running and playing around with my sister. We chased each other back and forth. Obviously it took me a long time to catch her because I was younger. Eventually on that day we started running down the stairs. Back then, I was still clumsy. I fell down those two stairs. Doesn't seem that bad right? The real problem was at the bottom of the stairs. As I fell on my face, my two front teeth hit the bottom of the chair at the of the stairs,and at that moment, my two front teeth were pushed up into my
