Personal Narrative: Picking A Partner

My current job is an ABA therapist for the school district. Last week, one of the children on my case load was having a lot of behavior issues in the classroom. In order to help shape his behaviors, a collaboration took place. The classroom teacher, the lead therapist, the autism specialist, another line therapist and myself brainstormed possible strategies to put in place. We all had to observe the behaviors and try to determine the antecedent. From there, we sat down as a team to decide what behaviors we wanted to target first and what strategies we would use. We have all begun to put the strategies into place and we are seeing significant improvement in some of the behaviors. We have all taken turns in dealing

Last month, I asked a student named Kris in my government class to be my partner for a group project. After I asked him, he looked at me with a blank expression, My heart was racing with the anticipation of his answer. I thought to myself, “This was a mistake, I should not have done this.” Then, as soft as a whisper, he said “sure.” I was not sure what to do next. Awkwardly, I nodded and went back to my seat.

I, Emily White was one the parents of the white students at Little Rock High school. My Husband,”Bruce“and I heard about a group of African American students enrolling in Central High School in Little Rock. I Remember his expression as we spoke about this, he groaned with a loud voice uttered, “Oh here we go again with another brown v. BOE(Board of Education) situation!!”. Brown v. BOE was a landmark U.S Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing segregated public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional and won the case,therefore integrating most of the schools in the U.S.Unfortunately we didn’t speak very fond about the conversation we had on the night before the Little rock Crisis happened.We

I went to Central Nine as a medical assisting student. We did a lot of things such as taking vital signs, venipuncture, and doing injection on different parts of our bodies. When we do those things, we always needed partners. Every time I asked my classmates to be my partner, I had a hard time doing that because I was a deliberative person even at that time. I was afraid that they might be annoyed by me if I asked them constantly. In our class, not everyone was not friendly and some of us were

The clouds were black, immeasurable, and grotesque. I still believe it was because my best friend was leaving for war. My friend Nicholas was the only person that I could have reliance and certainty with. He was the person that when the stresses of the world got to heavy on my shoulders he would pick the world up of my shoulders and carry the burden of the stresses of reality for me. In the end there are no words to describe the signification he has in my life and there is no comfort that can fix the loss that I feel in my heart because of his absence. So for the time being my heart will be in two places, half with me here in Denver, Colorado and the other half in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

It has been two years since I joined the Partner's Club (Special Needs Mentoring Club) at my high school. I had no way of knowing my accomplishments of helping the club expand as well as gaining invaluable skills and knowledge would be the most exciting experience I had during my years in high school. This has led me to become one of the head volunteers at the club. Volunteering and mentoring through this club has definitely changed into the young, blossoming woman I am today as well as an aspiring doctor. As a volunteer and mentor, my duties were to facilitate with various classrooms and outside activities,collaborating with other mentors, and facilitating with the annual Special Olympics. As a mentor I wanted the best for my mentee QB, however,

In this era when collaboration is vital to succeed as a scientist, I have active collaborations with Emory University School of Medicine and Texas Tech Paul Foster School of Medicine. I actively participate in departmental and college-wide services, as well as professional organizations and scholarly journals. I sought as an advisor and consultant on scientific and technological programs and problems, which extend well beyond my area of specialty. These experiences demonstrate that I have the skill in providing scientific advice, collaboration, and consultation.

When I came back to Waterford last year the last thing I thought was going to happen was that I was going to get a boyfriend. I was 13 years old when me and my Ex first started dating, and my mom was really against me dating, I mean she and my dad were SUPER anti-boys, but at that moment I didn't really care what my parents had to say because I wasn't really happy with anything at the moment I was really depressed and I thought having a boyfriend would make me happy. Just like the tacky love stories we said we loved each other right away without really thinking. It was a very awkward with nothing but smooching and literally no talking, but we continued to say we love each other. My mom found out right away that we were dating and was furious,

Our class was organized by reciprocal groups of four, where my teacher, Dr. Perry arranged groups to be with friends that were compatible. Because I was compatible with everyone and he believed in me, Dr. Perry assigned me to be in a group with three other lazy gamers couldn’t find the potential they had. One group mate, Stephen Tan, had transferred from the B class to

Of the characters in the video, I would speak to Steve if I had the opportunity. I would tell him that it's not his fault that you and Kim are drifting apart, and I think you should try to work things out with Kim. It's not entirely his fault because they were both drinking and she led him to the car to have sex. I believe he should try to talk to Kim and re-establish a relationship. I think that Steve and Kim could at least be friends in the future and forgive each other. If Kim never forgives him, then I believe he should try to move on. Hopefully being in that situation taught him a lesson about drinking and sex and how he should be more careful and think about the consequences.

For the partner discussion, I had someone I rarely talk to. We did not have any other class together besides key. My partner for the discussion was Drew. He actually is a cool guy once I got a chance to talk to him more. For the assignment we were given questions to get to know each other more and talk about our goals.

Often times, I would have to explain to my friends why I was single. I'm good looking, independent, sexy and smart. They didn't understand why I didn't have a man... like they did. They would give me all kinds of relationship advice like they were the experts. I had to bite my tongue many days to stop myself from saying that anyone can have a relationship like yours. You and your man fight all of the time; you complain all of the time that he doesn't do this, and he doesn't do that or you whine about what he did do. Who needs that? Well, I definitely do not.

To me, Jill is not only my older sister but my best friend, my partner in crime, my teacher, my role model, my biggest supporter, my parent and my cautionary tale.

It was Tuesday, July 18th. I was a nervous wreck. In desperate need of clothes to wear to impress... her. I begged my best friend Todd to join me at Woodfeild mall. He gave in and we went. Todd and I shopped for hours. Nothing looked good enough for...her. We were running out of time. I made-do with four short sleeve shirts from Champs and two pairs of sweatpants shorts from h&m. The total came out seventy dollars. We walked out and got into Todds car. I was shaking the entire ride home. Will she like it? Am I going to look fat? What about my acne? What if she doesn’t end up liking me? Nothing else crossed my mind as we pulled up to my house and I was dropped off. There was around an hour and a half until I had to leave. I walked inside

Our love line was beginning at work, where I never could think of, that I would find my man who loves me unconditionally. Arun is a very supportive person whenever I felt down and depressed. I usually get depression from all university works and from my job because I had been living in Australia by myself. But he came and always is the only one by my side and cheers me up. It happened after I got a job by a good friend; her name is Jessie, who I studied with in Kogarah High School. Then, I started working at pizza hut in September 2011 as a kitchen hand. Anish, who was our boss at the time, on the day I came for training, he introduced me to Arun. To be honest, I did not have any impression or attraction from my partner and even his name. Until a first one night shift together, we were doing closing. Arun was asked by a manager to drop me home, as I am a girl and lived far away. We got chance to talk more on the way, he told me that he is from Nepal. In fact, I never ever heard of that place before and I was a bit surprised because I thought he was Chinese because he was always around with Jessie and Jiabin, who is her boyfriend, they are both Chinese. On the way, he asked my Facebook. He started liking and commenting on my photos.
