Lowell V's Gilchrist-Personal Narrative
I remembered the moment when I was faced with a dire situation, when I was assistant coaching our local Jr. High Football team. The game was Lowell v.s Gilchrist. It was early in the 3rd quarter when we witnessed one of the players falling without getting hit. The coaches on the other team scrabbled to aid the young athlete, yet they didn’t understand was wrong. I came over to assistant, yet was pushed away, probably because I was only 16 and didn’t look like I could really help. Then I noticed the 6th grader twitching and realized that he was in anaphylactic shock. That’s when I suddenly asserted my place and started barking out orders. Within moments I was in charge and I took over on the care of the child. A woman that came over (I assumed

    In the groundbreaking case Gideon vs. Wainwright we are given a prime example of a Supreme Court case and its impact on federalism.

    Appalachian Service Project Analysis

    Her home was nothing more than a shack that was not safe for her or a newborn. We met the homeowner’s mother and learned that Hope had worked very hard her whole life, but it was obvious she had not received many of the blessings we had been given. She was a single mother hiding from the abusive father of her child. During our week we worked very hard making improvements to her home. Possibly because I was older, or because of the adult crew leaders, I was working with very little instruction and thinking on my own to find solutions. I was problem solving, leading, being creative, and didn’t even think a thing of it at the time. It wasn’t until after this week of accomplishments and hard work were over that I realized I was no longer a child any longer. I could impact the lives of other who were facing life and death, strength and weakness, sadness and…

    Personal Narrative: Keegans

    It was the middle of an away sophomore baseball game against DeWitt. My brother, Keegan, was up to bat. The pitch came, he swung and down he went. The baseball came off his bat and drilled him in the left eye. There was only one parent there, one of Keegan’s teammate’s dad. He drove Keegan to the hospital and called my parents. At the time, I was at a softball game working the scoreboard for the varsity West Delaware Hawks team. My mom called to tell me my grandma would pick me up when I was done and that her and my dad were on their way to the Iowa City hospital. My dad was at work at the time and met my mom there. They would explain more later. After they got down there and I got home with my sisters, I called my mom. She gave me an explanation…

    Summary: Operational Readiness Inspection

    I was only two and a half years in the military, but I was far from having anything close to that type of responsibility placed on my shoulders. In the same instance, I also felt extremely appreciative that she would open up to me. Considering her leadership position in our squadron and all the dynamics that go into maintaining effective authority, she would have been well within her rights to reserve any need to vent in order to keep me focused on the all too important task at hand. But instead, and to my benefit, she decided to acknowledge me as a peer on some level. She gave me the gift of perspective and the understanding that there is always a micro and a macro point of view of looking at any given situation. I’m certain that I had been told this before, but I believe that I truly absorbed the concept completely after listening to SMSgt Gibson that…

    Jean Watson: a Caring Moment

    Whenever I think about nursing, caring and the fundamental reasons I became a nurse, I always think of “Gary.” I was in nursing school and working as a nurse’s aid in a nursing home. I tried daily to apply the new knowledge I was learning to my interactions with the residents. Gary was very tall, had suffered a stroke, and a total care resident who had limited use of his arms and legs, and unable to speak. He had crystal blue eyes that seemed to speak for him. Every time I took care of Gary I always talked to him like there was nothing wrong with him. He would smile and try to help me more than any other aids. One particular afternoon I was sitting at the nurses’ station and could not do any lifting because of an injury, Gary was sitting there in front of me. He started to tap his fingers intently staring at me with those eyes. I looked at him and said “Hi” to him. The nurses told him to stop the tapping as they seemed irritated by it. I touched his hand after the third request to stop, he just kept tapping. I was told to take him…

    Gideon V. Wainwright

    Since time immemorial, history has always recorded in its annals that man is by nature both a rebellious and dominant creature. Because of these two innate traits, it seems nearly impossible for men to cohabit or coexist without having any channel or medium through which one man does not feel the urge that he can trample on his fellow man at will. Henceforth, the birth of this new term or ideology called civilization. Although civilization has its merit, nevertheless, it did not nor could it completely heal men of this pompous idea of superiority or dominance over his fellow men and women. By itself, this new ideology could easily be compared to a fort guarded by unarmed soldiers. In the military world, such an order for the soldiers guarding this fort to bear no arms would have simply been a suicide mission. To prevent this inevitable forfeit or coward act, should enemies reached the shores and conquer the fort with no retaliation; these same soldiers armed themselves with a gun called law. In spite of the contrasting feelings about the criminal justice system, many people can attest however that it brought forth or produced more possibility for men to lead a more peaceful and stable life amongst his peers using law as their compass. On the other end of the spectrum, some people like Clarence Earl will argue that the criminal justice system, in their opinion, did not pave the way to a more peaceful and stable journey for him, as he never seemed to have reaped nor tasted the good fruits, emanating from the criminal justice system tree. The right to a fair trial, the right to due process, and the right to have counsel present when being interrogated were some of those legal fruits guaranteed in the constitution that were taken away Mr. Gideon when he was…

    Reflection Assignment 4 Following Johns Model of Structured Reflection

    Mary (changed name) was admitted with right cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and was now just waiting for residential placement. One of the side effects left over from her stroke was that she had a drop-foot for which she had a splint and a walking stick; she had declined to use a frame. Mary was one of the patients on my team so I was getting to know her quite well during my first two weeks on the ward. I was working with another patient when I saw Mary twist on her ankle and try to steady herself on her stick. This had the effect of spinning her round and she fell to the floor onto her left hip. I ran to help, she was in a lot of pain and slight shock, I called down the ward for help several members of staff came to help saying "do this" and "do that" all at the same time, I was quite over whelmed. Mary was rolled back and forth onto a sling, hoisted up and placed on her bed, all the while I was looking after her head, I did not know what else to do so I talked to her to calm her down, which was difficult due to all the commotion. On initial examination the senior nurse on duty said it looked like she had broken her femur, which was later confirmed. Her residential placement was cancelled and she was transferred to stepping hill.…
