Surviving Dorm Life Without Your Mom

When one of us gets sick, we try to adjust our diets to meet the best road to recovery such as increases in vitamin rich fluids and cessation of ingesting refined sugar. These techniques aid in both boosting the immune system and in starving many of the viral infections that prefer a sucrose rich environment. We also consult the internet to see what infectious agents may be making the rounds in our area and what is most effective against them.

Going back to college after you have been out of school for quite a few years, had three children, been married, and divorced is a lot harder than I ever imagined. It takes hard work, dedication, and missing out on the little things previously taken for granted. I miss taking naps the most. I believe if you can tough it out through the worst days, you can finish school and provide a better life for your children and yourself. You need a lot of willpower and a large sense of humor.

My Baseball academy was very supportive and received I many get-well-soon cards that helped gain my confidence and lighten my mood. Also my teachers were very supportive of my recovery, allowing me to do school work at home when I was sick and being flexible on test dates so I could do them when I was healthy again. Having a group of supportive people around taught me that I should not get depressed about being sick. I learned that I must be positive and fight in order to recover. I also learned that your true friends are the ones who help you through the hardest times. Being sick allowed me to see the good in people when all they wanted to do was help. The friends that stayed with me during my sickness are still my closest friends to this day and I have a much greater appreciation for having them as friends

When a person feels sick and takes action with the end goal of characterizing that sickness and looking for help from it this is known as illness behavior. An illustration of this is looking for therapeutic treatment versus overlooking or self-medicating. It is likewise monitoring substantial changes in your body, which is imperative. At the point when individuals have no experience and or know-how to continue, they seek medical care from specialists.

As a child, my family believed that lots of loving care, plenty of rest, increased liquids, and chicken soup cured any ailment, and for the most part it worked. As an adult, not much has changed. When my family is ill, I rely on my personal experience and implement the same loving care, sufficient rest, increased fluids, and faithful chicken noodle soup that I was given when I was ill. While I know that the chicken noodle soup doesn’t necessarily cure the illness, it certainly warms the heart.

“She thought it was just the flu. We all did. But she didn’t seem to be getting any better. Her parents made her go see a doctor, which was a good thing. It turns out she didn’t have the flu. It was something much worse. Something more dangerous, something more contagious, something life-threatening, something scary,” said my friend Ashley. I was on the phone with her talking about her roommate at Elizabethtown College. It turns out that her roommate, Jocelyn has been diagnosed with Meningitis.

Being a mom is hard, and being a teenage mom is even harder. Most teen moms will drop out and not continue further with their careers. “By age 30, only 1.5 percent of women who had pregnancies as a teenager have a college degree”(“Teen Pregnancy Statistics”). Nowadays, schools like Santa Ana College can help these young mothers attain a profession and raise their kids at the same time. Now thanks to colleges like SAC, that percentage can increase, and young mothers can strive to better themselves. Giving them support is essential because it will give them a place where they feel secure and supported; it will help them realize that it’s never too late. In our postcard for Santa Ana College, we use the strategy of support to attract teen moms.

If they aren't around you much, and they're not constantly seeing you sick, then they may not know the extent of the condition. This can be extremely stunting to your diagnosis or even to your ultimate healing. If you get this one a lot, soon you can begin to accept it. Slowly you think to yourself, "Maybe it really is all in my head." They have shown that especially with mental illness this can slow healing because no treatment is being acted upon. (Link 3) I think a big part of this with friends and family members is the science of denial. (Link 4) Denial is something that I see a lot. People don't want to accept change, they don't want to accept things that affect them. Sometimes this is just their way of not wanting to take responsibility, or other times it can simply be that they don't understand, usually because of my next

Being chronically sick is like being on a roller coaster. When you first get sick everybody's there but once they realize that the ride never ends. They wait until it gets back to the easier part of the ride and they jump off. Some stay by your side helping you when it gets to top knowing that you're afraid of heights but after a while they expect you to get used to it. What they don't know you will never get used to

Take prescribed medicines exactly as directed by your health care provider. Finish all of the medicine even if you start to feel better.

Over the past two weeks there has been a tremendous increase in the number of cases of students in the infirmary with flu and or diarrhea symptoms. Our records indicate that we went from seeing 3 cases per week to 63 cases in the past two weeks. This data lets us know that we have a severe strand of the flu present on campus. This “bug” leads to the obvious problem of sick students easily infecting other students, but another issue that could potentially be a problem is the class pass rate due to students being sick. If students are sick they are not going to be able to be in class. This could adversely affect their drive and determination to successfully complete their courses in a satisfactory manner.

Due to high amount of stress between school and family, Mia’s immune system became suppressed. Her parents expect a lot from her since she is the first one to attend college; however, they could not understand Mia’s heavy school loads. Mia also has to help out with her family business. Sometimes Mia has to wake up at 4 a.m to prepare food then go to school. Last but not least, Mia also worries about her parents’ health status.

Within the growing number of women in higher education, there is a growing population of students who are also mothers. Mothers attempting to obtain a degree contend with home and family demands that affect their degree completion rates (Carney-Crompton & Tan, 2002; Home, 1998). These postsecondary education students, unlike their traditional peers, are not developing into adult identities that are supported by a traditional college setting (Arnett, Ramos & Jensen, 2001; Arnett, 2000) but instead already have an adult identity as a mother (Wilsey, 2013) with a different set of needs and because of the familial responsibility motherhood brings with it these women are no longer “traditional” students (Cross, 1981; Bean & Metzer, 1985, 1987;
