Personal Narrative-The Mom's Point Of View

Mrs. Wellington showed me my room, said goodnight, closed the door, and left me alone in an unfamiliar place with 5 unfamiliar people. I woke up the next morning not remembering what happened the day before. I forgot where I was, who I was with and why I was here. I

My life with Epilepsy “People who experience seizures know the storm may come. Still, they embrace each day as if it will not.” This is how I feel in my day to day struggle. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy on August 28th, 2016. My day was supposed to be

For the first parent interview, I interviewed my friend Randy. The interview took place in the living room of my house. His daughter was present but was playing with my sister at the time of the interview. Randy is the father of a toddler girl who is three years old but will turn four soon. Randy was born in 1992, he is not married but is cohabiting with the mother of the child and his parents’ home. In addition, Randy works for a medical supplies company and has only completed high school. Moreover, when he had his first child and only child, he was 21 years old.

I just had a telephone conference with CH mother/Jessica Cahill. Parent inform his physician, Dr. Cardino, MD (GI). Starting on Monday, student will have to take medication before every meal and snack. (5 times a day) The medication is Sucride? Parent was not sure of the correct spelling. Parent was informed that we could administer the medication at school with her permission and physician’s order. Parent will come in on Monday to bring in the medication, doctor’s order and sign consent. There are no diest restrictions per mom, except that he is lactose intolerance and has “short Gut”. Parent is also taking student to a neurologist during the summer for an evaluation ton R/O ADHD, anxiety and depression. Informed parent to share the information

We drove for what seemed hours to my six year old self. When we arrived in the parking lot of the hospital, which I can never remember the name of, he told us why we were there. Lauren threw a fit, screaming and crying like someone was hurting her. She shouted “I never wanted him”. I believe that is still to this day the biggest lie she has ever told. We walked up to the big glass hospital doors, and straight through them to the elevator. I waited and waited for what seemed forever until the big silver doors opened, and my dad showed us which way to go. We walked past room after room listening to the crying and sometimes laughter. Finally, we got to the right room and we walked in. There sat my mother on a hospital bed. She didn’t seem hurt or in pain, but they said it was happening fast. At one point my mother’s father (Poppy) took us down to the cafe, and all I remember is that hospitals have very good spaghetti. My Poppy got a phone call and all of the sudden we were on the move, going through the halls like there was a fire we were trying to escape from. When we got back to my mother’s hospital room, everyone looked so upset; their faces, eyes and cheeks were red and

What does it mean to be a parent? Being a parent means putting the well-being of your family and baby's safety first at all times, and making sure that no one will harm them. In addition, it means to love unconditionally and helping your kids grow to become respectful members

The day I almost died was the day my child came into this world. She came bursting into this world four weeks earlier than expected and it all started a week earlier. A simple checkup that resulted into an ultrasound, labor, and finally the moment I almost died.

As part of my EDUC 2204 class, we are required to go out into the community and create experiences that enhance our own learning. The first lab I conducted was about understanding parental socialization by interviewing a parent. I had absolutely no desire to interview my own parent because I didn't want any questions or answers to feel biased or skewed. (I am sure I wouldn't agree with most of my mom's answers anyway). Instead, I chose to interview a former professor who I admire tremendously. Steven Hall was a professor at Idaho State University in the Department of English and Philosophy. He recently received a new title at ISU as part of the First Year Experience team. Mr. Hall will now be helping mentor first year students and assist them in their transition to university life. While in class, he had mentioned a few times about his young son and when the assignment came up, I knew who I wanted to interview.

An experience that will help me thru my time here has to do with my daughter. Earlier this year I got a call from her mother telling me that my daughter was in the hospital because she wanted to kill herself. She wanted to do this because she was being bullied at school and did want to go to school that day. And if her mom made her she would hurt herself. So her mom took her to the hospital because she was afraid she really would do something to herself and was not just saying it so she would not have to go to school. She had to send a week in a clinic so she could talk about what was going on and why she was there. She told the counselors that she told her teacher about what was happening and she said the teacher told her to not worry about

Mommy’s Boy “Push, push, push! You almost got it.” I could remember like it was yesterday popping out a new born baby and seeing what happens next. My son came into this world with being a crybaby and spoiled as by his grandmother. My son became a big part in my life: Thinking about him before I think about someone else. Becoming a beautiful mother with grey hairs arriving before I met my mid-twenties. Even going to the laundromat because we had so many clothes we had to make two trips. Maybe being a first-time mother it's more to think about and deciding if it's the right thing to do. Becoming a mother wasn't easy, I wanted my son to have the world so, I made my decision of trying to be the best parent every for my son and that's when he became a mommy’s boy.

January 29, 2015, State competition- Out spilled a tiny first aid pack, an extra can of hairspray, two dozen extra bobby pins, and finally, the eye primer. Handing off the baton, my teammate steals the makeup from my open clutch and walks away shouting, “Thanks Mom!” Yes, I have earned the title of Pom Mom. When asked why I always come so prepared to practices and competitions, I simply shrug my shoulders, saying something shabby like ‘You can never be too prepared,’ Omitting how I covet every opportunity to feel needed by them. Throughout my entire dance life I have regularly been Ostracized.

“Today is the day my story ends and the memory of all the unwritten things disappear.”

During this stage my son is practicing self-control. He gets along with others but not if they take his toys away. He defends his own toys since he is not willing to share. So far I try to encourage with sharing but I do not want to force him. I would damage our trust in my point of view. I am authoritative, I allow him to get away with more things. I provide discipline but I support him on his behavior. I believe at the beginning I was a bit stricter with him but I realized he is just a baby and needs to explore and learn on his own. So I have been less strict with his rules. I believe my parenting styles come from my own family. My parents were strict when it came to rules, but I was able to be open with them because they supported me. In

During this conversation, I was able to get right through her and introduce Eve to the concept that all pregnancies are different and that things will be okay with this infant. Breast milk will protect the baby and the mother. Eve started to consider more about breastfeeding. She is someone who can be convinced as long as I work along side her. Therefore, I noted into my notes that I need to check back with her when she comes visit the office, and continue calling her later in the month. Sometimes having the support brings encouragement and stronger bonds. I am willing to make this work! As per other conversations I had, I met with a prenatal mother, who watches a lot of videos about delivery process and reads a lot of information to determine

Mother’s Helper One of the most precious, exciting moment in a woman’s life is giving birth to a healthy baby. Throughout the pregnancy, women have different needs that include loving support, comfort, and facts about what is to be expected. This is essentially a labor doula’s job, to offer emotional maintenance and information to not just the mother, but to the family as well if needed. For many, being a doula is a second job taken up by women who have in interest the best outcomes for birth (Hartocollis). For this reason, the majority of them in the field have a passion for their work, but still one must research for the right match in personality and price. Often times the price can be negotiable as well, especially if it is the doula’s just getting into the position. They do not speak for the mother or give bias views to influence a decision, they are simply around to make a safe, pleasant birth (Perez). To push their views upon a woman is forbidden in the practice and they must make sure that she is as aware as possible. A doula should definitely be considered by an expecting mother, numerous studies have shown how doulas can be extremely beneficial to the family and the infant; they are the perfect additional hand.
