Shadowing In High School

I have always had a high admiration for the impact that physicians have on families. At an early age, my younger sister had major heart surgery. Being four, I was too young to fully grasp what this meant for my family, but I quickly learned the grief my parents endured thinking their only daughter would not live past two. Dr. Jane Doe saved my sister, giving me a friend for life. I have set my goal to be like countless doctors who save lives daily and improve the quality

What began as mere admiration for my childhood optometrist quickly evolved into a fervent aspiration when I began working as an optometric technician at Eye & Vision Care. Having been myopic since the age of 6, I have always had an interest in the inner workings of the eye and decided to apply to this job, without any concrete career plans in mind.

child. From one emergency physician I saw the face of medicine that I wished to practice. While in the

After the holiday was over, it was hard for her to get back to the institutional life in residential school. There was strict discipline at the school. For example, there were certain times of the day when students had to adhere to the rules of the bell: to get up in the morning, to go to chapel, to go to eat, to go to the classroom, to signify playtime and recess, and to go to bed. In addition, each of the students had chores to do. Everyone had to clean the school. When the principal came to the school, the students had to know how to set a table properly with damask table cloths. When the students did not follow the rules, they would be punished brutally. Some of the penalties led students in the school to dead. There were also a lot of health problems in residential schools due to the large number of students. (2011, 2)

Getting into a program can help the student relate their problems with others. Jeanette’s struggles in The Glass Castle can teach students how to build resilience through reading elements that construct support networks, teach perseverance, and develop a sustaining work ethic.

It starts with the patient and their needs as a student. While undergoing treatment in our facility, your child will be encouraged to take part in an academic program. The program focuses on teaching basic study skills and helping them integrate back into a college environment after they have completed treatment. Once they establish a solid recovery and reestablish a desire for their education, they will feel a great sense of pride and accomplishment.

What drew me to the field of optometry specifically is the fact that our eyes can be considered one of our most precious gifts. Growing up my siblings always needed some sort of corrective lenses, leaving me in the dark so to speak. When I was younger I suffered a corneal

“I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me, and not terrify me”. This quote, by Ellis Ross, paints a very good image of how I want to take on these next few weeks of the Summer Transition Program. I have always wanted to be a better student than I actually am, but my disabilities influenced my studies immensely. I am currently diagnosed with dyslexia, dyscalculia, depression, and anxiety. Struggling in high school has only encouraged me to continue my education at UW-Whitewater to reach my goals. After graduating college, I hope to work with adolescents who have the same issues as me, or to work in an area similar to child protective services. My disabilities have held me back in high school in multiple ways, but I am very grateful to have the opportunity at UW-Whitewater to work past my difficulties in more areas than just education. Although I have weaknesses, I take pride in my reading skills, writing ability, and social dexterity.

In my time volunteering at Adams Camp, I have received the opportunity to be able to know Jordan Ficke. Jordan Ficke is a brunette, young woman who has devoted most of her life to helping other people. While she has spent over a decade of her life helping people with developmental disabilities, she has also worked at schools and a rehabilitation center. She stated that “if you love what you do, you will never have to work a day in your life!” She truly has lived by this motto, as her life has been lived for the benefit of others. Prior to moving to Colorado, she lived in Baltimore, working at a day habilitation program. She “served clients with dual diagnosis in mental health as well has an intellectual disability that

I had my job shadow at West Liberty Middle School and I chose this school because I have been there previously. I spent the whole day at this school and learned a lot throughout the day. I am a family friend with the teacher who teaches seventh and eight grade English. Although I do not plan to teach middle school I still enjoy and learn a lot going to this school, because there’s a very diverse group of students from my different backgrounds. I feel like shadowing this school is much more realistic to the difficulties I may encounter as a teacher, therefore I benefit from shadowing this teacher and school.

I had noticed that her eye moved a little slower and reflected light differently, so, consumed by curiosity, I let her continue. “When I was about four years old,” Annabelle elaborated, “I had cancer called Retinoblastoma and had surgery to remove my eye.” I was stunned; we had known each other for over a year and never had she indicated that she could only see with one eye. Fascinated by her resilience and inspired by her continually positive attitude, Annabelle marked the beginning of my decision to become a Pediatric

I have seen many aspects of medicine than i feel many people my age have. I understand how it feels to be comforted by a friendly smile and confidence from a doctor. My family history is what sparked my interest in medicine at a young age and my recent interactions with doctors has kept it alive.

Adam’s senior elective is serving as an aid to the school psychologist, and he escorts Julian to her room twice a week. Adam soon learns, however, that a lot has changed in the past five years, and Julian may need more help than a few meetings with the school psychologist. This is because after

When I was first awoken before 8:00 a.m on a Monday morning in July, it is not hard to imagine how unamused I was. My mom had signed me up to volunteer for two weeks at the Munroe Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Their summer camp for kids with special needs ages three and a half through twenty-one had become my home for the next week. This camp provides an summer camp experience for kids who would not otherwise have one. The campers are divided into groups with staff and volunteers as well. A volunteer at Camp Monroe has a new buddy every day they help their buddy with tasks, offer encouragement, and give simple direction when needed. The activities for the campers include: swimming, cooking, sports, creative

After going to Summer School Rita herself has changed because before summer school she was just a normal student going to Frank to learn and she felt too ashamed to be outspoken. Now that she has returned she has learnt that she needs to be more confident in herself and she now trusts herself more. Rita feels now that she has been educated and is now able to relate and have meaningful conversations with people. '
