Who I Am Today
In the biography above, not all details of my life were put down, but those small and large critical events in my life identify who I am today. I am a first generation Taiwanese and daughter of two Taiwanese parents. I am an older sister to my younger sister, who is three years younger than me, and to Jacob, my six-year old little brother who apparently is a miniature Schnauzer. I am a very family oriented person and I strive to become a family practice/ internal medicine physician in the future.
With the many series of drama that happened in my life, I have come to think of occurrences to be dealt in a reasonable aspect. Everything happens for a reason. After being in the positions I have been in, I am stricter as to making sure my feelings and thoughts are expressed. Sometimes I am resistant to accepting the truth, and deny the truth till I convince myself that there is no way out of the situation I am in. I try to keep myself as optimistic yet real as much as possible, because, according to those people who have experienced the real-world, the real-world is not fine and dandy with unicorns and rainbows all over.

From the discussions I have been in about truth, I think truth is just how someone makes sense of the world they live in. I know I explain myself in a very complicated way, but bear with me. Truth evolved over time. It went from parents telling me what is right and not, but I figured it is just part of the culture and how they were raised. They shared to me their perspective on truth based on their experiences. Since, I have not walked on the path they walked on; I am weaving in and out of the theory of truth and the reality of truth. Then, after courses of sciences and the practical study of empiricism, it went from knowing truth to be something that can be

    In the first place, it is important to keep in mind that truth is an abstract concept, meant to disqualify lie and liars by approving or not a statement. But truth is also linked to reality in the sense of it is a conformity to a fact in which one should trust, it has to be seen to be believed. Finally, it is important to dicover the “true truth” about fact and fiction, between history and the story.…

    How do we know what the truth is if we don’t actually know what truth is? Truth commonly defines as fact of reality. In The Allegory of the Cave written by Plato, individually if what we see is taken as truth, then we merely see a shadow of truth is a theme of the story. In Birds by Aristophanes, we see the theme of society’s truth of reality. Plato and Aristophanes play and story differ with Plato using truth and knowledge with a serious tone, while Aristophanes uses the physical reality to write a humorous story.…

    What is truth? A simply complex question, truth is what we know, what we believe, or simply what is definite. I believe that we have personal truths that drive our beliefs, both of which are ever changing. In these changing truths, there is a common attribute: to further our truth is to strain our own being. For the betterment and continuity of human thought, we must undergo personal strains in the hope of going deeper into our changing beliefs. These strains are not all internal, for looking for truth is to subject ourselves to the possible maleficence of our own findings. The truth is a dangerous necessity.…

    My full name is Christina Kaysone Chantharavongsa and I was born March 23, 1995 in Bridgeport Hospital located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was a little city and a small world since a ton of people would know each other. My parents were in an arranged marriage and were both moved to the United States from Laos during their high school years. But I’m actually half Laotian and Thai since my mom’s side is Thai from Thailand although she was born in an Asian Southeastern country called Laos. I’m the second oldest out of four children with two sisters and one brother. The order goes from Sarah, Christina (me), Kenny, and Anita. From my very first baby photo, I was described as a giant tomato because my face was red like one. My first words were like any baby can typically say: mama. Since my parents spoke mostly Laotian at home, saying mama would be “maeh” (Language Development). My infant years around 2 or 3, I was considered a curious one. I’d always liked to climb on top of chairs to see what were on the tables and I tended to dig through drawers to see what kind of items I would find in there then chew on it. My favorite thing to chew on was a Barbie doll ( Piagment, Sensorimotor stage). I was pretty clumsy as a toddler and my parents weren’t very affectionate towards me (Trust vs. Mistrust). I remember then until now we had strained relationships. If I did anything wrong or if any of my siblings did, they would hit us as punishment. Wooden spoons were usually used, getting our hair pulled, and getting the side of our face smacked or punched.…

    Effective communication within health and social care environments is crucial in order to ensure that care is being given and is meeting the needs of individuals.

Care settings have been adapted to meet the needs of different people, this includes people who speak different languages, those with disabilities, those who find it hard to communicate and those who have limited speaking and understanding skills.
