years‚ I spent the majority of my summer training for football. I didn’t hate it or else I would have quit the team and done something else with my life‚ but at the same time I felt as if we were given no break from football. It felt like it was an all year long sport. To me football didn’t just show me how to run the ball‚ how to catch a ball‚ and how to tackle. Football also gave me very many life lessons and experiences that I will never forget. Especially‚ one experience where I was racially profiled

My best pecan fest experience was this year. It was the best because I got to hang out with my friends‚ I also started to like zipper a lot more‚ also ride all of the rides with my friends. Some of the rides are Pharaohs Fury and the Zipper (best one). I’d say the Zipper is the best because it’s the most fun. First you get put in a cage with another person or two‚ then when the ride starts you go all the way up and start flipping doing front flips and back flips. It’s awesome. When my friends

helping others shouldn’t be something seen as duty or mandatory‚ it should be spontaneous. Through others experiences and hardships we learn and grow as human beings‚ not only did I enjoy helping others but I felt that it helped me with my problems. Having moved around so much and meet so many people and living by myself so many years I came to truly be thankful for my blessings and specially for my hardships.

When I was thinking about writing this journal post a particular experiences came into my head. I pushed it aside for the fact that it didn’t fit the criteria for this journal. However‚ after struggling trying with writer’s block‚ I gave in to my original thought. The experience I am going to be talking about doesn’t fit the criteria of being a patient/nurse interaction because I wasn’t with a “patient” or in a clinical setting.

Throughout my childhood‚ I’ve been exposed to a variety of socioeconomic environments which have given me a broad world view. When I was four years old‚ my family emigrated from Pakistan to Detroit. My parents‚ who were trained physicians in Pakistan‚ weren’t licensed to practice in the U.S. My father became a bartender and my mother a maid to pay for our one bedroom apartment in the projects. It was difficult but my parents sheltered my brother and I the best they could. I remember when the only

When I was in seventh grade I decided to join hockey. I had never stepped on ice or touched a hockey stick before in my life. I arrived at the arena on the first day of practice with a heart full of mixed emotions. Naturally‚ I was extremely scared of the unknown‚ but I was also extremely excited to try this new sport. I was missing most of the necessary equipment because neither I or my parents knew what I needed. The coach was able to borrow me some equipment from the association. I spent the next

My first experience at an alcoholics anonymous meeting was very interesting and in a way uplifting. At All Saints Lutheran Church the home group called “The Young People’s Group” there were people who had come from all walks of life. The group meeting that I thought would have been rather small slowly became larger and larger over the course of the night. I was unaware that the AA meetings had been setup with a set of codes or rules for those who struggle every day to fight this addiction. They
