Cerebral Palsy: A Personal Narrative Analysis
On this day 11 years ago, I was blessed with my 2nd princess Trinity Asia. When Trinity was 7 months old she was diagnosed with a severe case of Cerebral Palsy. When I asked doctors how did this happen they replied "that's just the way God made her". At that time I thought my world had come an end... I then asked the doctors " well what do I do ?" they replied "take your daughter home and teach her how to adopt to the world". I can honestly say are journey through the years has been far from easy. However, Trinity's medical condition has taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and has pushed me to go further than I could have ever imagine. For the past 11 years I have worked tirelessly to ensure that my daughter has a quality life.

    Personal Narrative: The Hidden Child

    She was born on a busy summer night on September 13th 1918 in Brookline, Massachusetts. I always had the feeling that Rosie was a little different from the rest of us. On the day of her birth the midwife arrived late, and my theory is that this action deprived her brain of oxygen. We were proven right when she failed to advance from kindergarten and was deemed to suffer from intellectual disabilities. When this happened our parents began to conceal their third child from society.…

    Personal Narrative: A Career In Physical Therapy

    Everyday in life people make decisions, whether we realize it or not. Everyday individuals are faced with adversity. For example, feeding their families, bringing home money to pay expenses, etc. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.” (Proverbs 2:6) Individuals must take steps to reach their potential and family success. To be a physical therapist, people must complete several courses in college and earn degrees. According to the American Physical Therapy Association, “The length of professional DPT programs is typically 3 years.

    A Summary of a Mothers's Newborn Baby

    On March 9, 2010 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She weighed six pounds, eleven ounces and was 21 inches long. Her beauty took my breath away. Once the doctor spanked her bottom and I heard her cry it was like music to my ears. As they placed her in my arms all of the pain I felt from my 14 hour delivery vanished. I felt as if I had just won an Olympic race and I came in 1st place. My trophy was this beautiful bundle of joy. My husband and I decided to name her Adrianna Renee. The emotional bond or attachment that I felt for my daughter had me speechless. Then the nurse told me they had to take her briefly to do some type of test on her called Apgar score. She explained to me that the test was a standard scoring system that allows the doctor to evaluate Adrianna’s condition quickly and objectively. At first I was skeptical because my daughter looked perfect in my eyes. So the nurse takes her from me to go have the test done and while they are gone the other nurses tend to my needs. It seemed like forever but it only took 10 minutes and they were done with the Apgar score. Adrianna had done great scoring a 10 the highest an infant can get meaning she was perfect like I knew she would be.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Deaf

    For my first deaf event I went to the coffee house in Boiling Springs next to Gardner-Webb University. I decided to go with Josie and Latrell, when we arrived the first thing we saw was Will, we all said hello and talked about whether the coffee was worth four dollars or not. As we were going to sit down I saw my principle at the event we chatted for awhile and I taught him a few signs before he had to leave. Later that night I met a girl, she was really friendly I don't remember her name which I am sad to say, but I remember her telling me about how she was there with a friend and how she attended Gardner-Webb and was interested in learning more about the Deaf community. I taught her a few sign and she did the same for me, we had a struggle…

    Personal Narrative: Dealing With Children With Disabilities

    One of the common factors that I decided to focus on was children who have disabilities. I definitely understand how it can be a challenge because as a CSW I watched a family with five children, three of them had autism struggle most days. Though they struggled they still managed to give those kids the nurturing environment they needed. Dealing with kids with special needs can be very hard because everyday is different, some days things are going great, then one day the child is having a meltdown and nothing you do seems to help. So for parents who aren't prepared for this life style things can seem overwhelming and frustrating. Sometimes parents who aren't well informed about their child's disabilities can confuse normal set backs as disobedience…

    Personal Narrative: My True Role In Special Education

    As a paraprofessional myself, I find that I sometimes question what my true role is in a classroom. As much as I would like to modify some of the teachers’ teaching practices, I have to remember that I don’t have that authority. I have been a teacher assistant for 15 years; I have worked with general education students, special education students and from Pre Kinder to 12th grade. In every single general education classroom I’ve been in, the teacher would take over all forms of instruction and I simply helped with discipline. When I entered the special education classroom (current placement), I was given so much more responsibility. Not only am I expected to assist with discipline, completing assignments, but I am also expected to help…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To Physical Therapy

    I was a gymnast for thirteen years and currently a diver so my body has been through a lot. Last year I obtained a back injury that put me out most of the practices. I was diagnosed with a Double scoliosis, Sheuermanns disease, Sheuermanns nodes on my spine, arthritis in my vertebra, and collapsing disks. When I first found out what all the test had meant I felt like it was over. The main reason why I picked west minster was for the diving, and it's what I have done every day for the past four years. I began to panic and think I will never dive again. So, for months on months and still continuing today I went to Physical therapy every day. I went to multiply doctors to do everything I could to help my back from laser therapy to acupuncture…
