Stress has been defined as ‘the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed on them’. (Finlay et al., 2010 page 141). It can affect everyone at some stage and is part of everyday life. Whilst moderate stress can help people react more quickly ‘prolonged or excessive levels give people no time to recover their strength, and this can lead to exhaustion, depression and physical illness.’ (Finlay et al., 2010 page 142).

The fear of losing everything Craig Nasvik worked for, was the hardest part of his college experience. “It was the feeling of not being in charge,” Craig says, recalling back to his sophomore year when he blew out his right knee. The factor that led him to believe he could never play football again, and miss some of the most important years of his life. Craig attended the University of Minnesota Duluth on a full ride athletic scholarship. He was recruited out of the state of Wisconsin, where he was born and raised.

Women today in 2016 couldn’t last two minutes living the life of a woman in the 1900s. 100 years ago, females were known as the weaker gender but more virtuous and were not allowed to do anything unless they had a husband. They didn’t have any rights, authority, or opinion about ANYTHING! It was illegal for women to do a lot of things, and here we are 100 years later, we can do whatever we want, when we want, however we want without anyone’s permission.

Haven taught me how to become an effective listener, a fast learner, and an effective deliberator within a healthcare setting and serves as the foundation of those skills in my upcoming medical…
