Personal Narrative: My Recovery

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

My feet pound the track. I take deep breaths and pump my arms in rhythm with my steps. My muscles ache but my mind is focused, I am in the zone and I feel invincible, moving faster than ever before. Run, rest, repeat. The cycle of intervals in the workout let me just tune out and push myself. The only problem is, as I run each interval I feel a nagging pain in my leg. The pain slowly increases until I realize the worst: I might be injured.

I have been in recovery now for about five years because of my drug and alcohol dependency. I started doing drugs in middle school and kept appearances up until my senior year of high school. My senior year of high school I stopped dancing and other positive activities. I believe that being a part of activities kept my drug use at bay until it took over my life. Some positive factors in my life that helped me not use every day were self-control and teacher monitoring. Also, I kept busy so I could stay on track for the most part. The risk factors for me using drugs and alcohol are having a hard time expressing emotions in a healthy way. I was unable to delay gratification and using drugs so young made it hard for me to mature like the rest of

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

Throughout my clinical experiences I have encountered a large variety of school cultures and environments. I've been lucky enough to work with both public and charter schools and have first-hand experience with grades one through four. While I have taught and observed all of the typical subjects including math science, reading, and social studies, I have also worked in the schools to educate students in theater as well as health and physical education. From all of these experiences I learned that my greatest passion is in working with young students, grades K-2, in underprivileged schools.

Anytime I revisit the memory, I tend to review multiple different times throughout the course of the injury and recovery process. I first come to the exact moment the injury occurred. The estactic joy I was feeling as I reached the 18 yard line box on my opponents side of the field, knowing that it was just me against the same girl I had beaten and scored on during the previous possession, quickly dissipated once I made a spinning move and the girl rammed into me from behind. Almost suddenly, the joy was replaced with confusion. For an injury this severe, people assume that the first thing one feels after tearing a ligament is pain, but in my experience, they are wrong. Rather, one feels time almost stop around them. The sounds surrounding them seem to increase in volume as well.

The first thing that comes to my mind about this clinical experience would be exhausting. I had only three hours of sleep because I had forgotten I had a prior obligation later in the evening, so was unable to leave Alamosa until 2100, so I did not get home till 2330. I had to get up at 0400 to then go to SCCF. Four hours asleep, while sick was not a good idea. It was an extremely tiring day that I feel like I am probably missing something in this journal.

I had a stroke about 2 years ago, I could not see, walk or talk. I almost gave up on being a productive citizen. I was sent to a rehab facility and started therapy. I knew that I have to do something to be gain to astablish my health, I knew that I could not do it alone. However, I always believed that God makes no mistakes, but I would have to put forth some efford in rehabliting myself. God have placed me in a place where I had to take charge of my life. I have always believed in Gods great work, but I would have to do his will. I started praying more than ever, studying my Bible more and establishing a relationship with him! He began healing my body, my mind and my soul. Now, I'm very Spiritual, Healthy, and I'm always finding time to not

For years I struggled with addiction. And even today I still have the continuous gnawing in the back of my mind, attempting to draw me back, I have to continuously remind myself of the destruction it will lead me into. I am constantly tempted with the thought , " You can control it, just a couple drinks and be done it like normal people." However, as painful as it is to admit- out of pride, I am not "normal" in that sense. While I have failed miserably in the past, I have found some wisdom that has allowed me to continue on in the fight for recovery. Liked below are the four things we pursue as human being in an attempt to fill the deep angst in our bones for out of this life. As an addict I can say the failure in these areas led me to greater substance abuse to numb or help ignore that these things were not doing what I taught by society they would do.

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

This paper took me many revisions to complete. I found a new method to aid in completing the revision. For example, once I completed one paragraph, I would go back and rewrite it and fix the grammar errors until I was content with the product. I did this with each paragraph until I was done the entire paper. My final revision included rereading the entire paper and finding errors that I missed while focusing on each individual paragraphs. This method helped me find errors much easier, and I also found it to be a quicker way.

I had two clinical experiences this week, clinical was done in two separate facilities. On Thursday, October 5, 2017, we had our first clinical experience at Ziegler, this is an out-patient clinic for the mentally ill. On the next day, Friday, October 6, 2017, we had our second clinical experience at Mobile Infirmary, this is an in-patient unit for the acutely ill mental patient. My experience, insight, and learning points for both facilities will be discussed

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

I think that if I had to create a reconciliation project with 1.9 billion dollars, I would give them more money for their first payment about 6 000 dollars sounds fair, to start out because they probably need the money to start over again after the schools. From then on they would get 3 000 dollars every year after that until they have gotten money for every year they were in the schools. The reason I am giving everyone the same amount for every year is because I don’t want people to get mad or think I am being unfair because I think that one experience is worse that the next, all of the experiences are bad and none of the people that had to endure it would like to hear that they did not have it that bad, we all know they did. I think you may
