Alex Wilson is here tonight to speak about how “You Can Have Your Cake, and Eat It Too,” which he cleverly titled his Keynote speech. I have known Alex for quite some time now, and he has been an integral part of my neurology team at the Jacobson Hospital. He will speak about his journey to success in becoming a world-renowned neurosurgeon. His passion and desire for wanting to become a doctor started when he was young. His grandfather suffered from a severe head injury one night after falling out of bed, and his grandpa never woke up. However, while Alex was in the hospital, he noticed neurologists coming in and out, trying to help his grandfather. Yet they were unable to save him from the blood swelling in his brain. Therefore, Alex decided to dedicate his life to helping those in need, especially those who have suffered from traumatic injuries to their central nervous system and brain. In fact, he was the one who developed the early-warning system used in hospitals around …show more content…
However, in his journey to success, he would frequently worry over grades, rather than going out to spend time with friends. One day he came to realize, as Confucius once perfectly stated, “Everyone eats and drinks; yet only few appreciate the taste of food.” He discovered the true importance of life, and now he takes off from work for three months out of the year to dedicate time to his family. Therefore, he bought a motorhome so his wife and kids could spend quality time with him, while still getting to visit some of the most remarkable landmarks across the country. In the end, as the famous adage goes, family is not just an important thing, it is everything. However, just because one is successful, does not mean he has to sacrifice his entire life for it. His speech tonight is about just that, “You Can Have Your Cake, and Eat It
David Hicks was a 34 year old black male. He was on death row in Texas from December of 1987 to April of 1988, sentenced to die by lethal injection for rape and murder, on April 25th 1988, of his 87-year-old grandmother, Ms. Ocolor Heggar. David was only a suspect because he was near her house at the time of the crime. There was no indication that he had been inside¡Xexcept, for DNA evidence. The DNA test determined that similarities between sections of DNA removed from David¡¦s blood and DNA recovered from semen in Ms. Heggar¡¦s house would occur only one time in a total of 96 million people.
In 1893, Simon Pokagon spoke at the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition. He was a prominent tribal leader who was known for this speech. So much so, it was printed and turned into an informative pamphlet. The speech encompassed American history and it’s push Westward, detailing the destruction of the Native lands and culture forever. He begins by telling the crowd about how he cannot celebrate with them in this great big new city, because it reminds him of all that was lost. Pokagon states, “where stands this “Queen City of the West” once stood the red man’s wigwams;” (Page 32). A bold statement follows about how nature was plentiful, until pale face came with their
The aim of this essay is a reflective account in which I will describe a newly acquired skill that I have learned and been able to implement within my role as a trainee assistant practitioner. (T.A.P.) for Foundation for Practice. I have chosen to reflect upon neurological observations on patients that will be at risk of neurological deterioration. Before I begin any care or assessments, I should have a good theoretical underpinned knowledge, of the skill that I am about to put into practice, and have a good understanding of anatomy and physiology, in order to make an accurate assessment of a patients neurological status. I will be making a correct and relevant assessment to identify any needs or concerns to establish the patient’s individualized care, and make observations to determine an appropriate clinical judgement.
He starts his speech talking about family values and how he has never known what it had meant, but since the accident he says he has been able to figure out what it means. He says “I think it means we are all family, and that we all have value.” He also states that some members of our family our hurting, and that we need to help them.
As a result from extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the american dream and pursued it. Today, many recognize him as the president but very few can fully grasp all that he has done in his life. From his start as a real estate mogul, to his impact on media, there are many questions as to how he became so recognizable today.

Surprisingly, from such a high-ranked and honoured neurosurgeon to suddenly falling to a position of being someone who needed help rather than providing it is unbelievable. Paul’s emotions of regret, fear, frustration, and denial of his state resonated with me and got me questioning myself “where do my values lie at this very moment of my life?” This was a thought that constantly entered my mind. Similar to the writer, I am guilty of questioning why we have this concept of life and death, but as living in a fast-paced generation full of technological advances, we do not have time to think about what is most important to us. As a teenager born in this generation, my friends and I are incredibly oblivious to how fragile our lives can be. Living in the 21st century, we are given many privileges such as access to medical care, warm shelters, and nutritious food, yet we consistently get distracted by the appeal of our wants rather than our
(Question) How would you feel if you were bullied? I assure you that no matter how you were bullied, you would still feel belittled and insecure. (Topic Sentence) It’s truly preposterous that millions of students all over the world reside in suffrage because they are being bullied either physically, verbally, or socially. (Background Information) One example was Jamie Nabozny, a school boy who attended Ashland schools and was tormented all through his middle and high school years. This was all because of the fact that he was homosexual. Nobody stood up to the bullies; instead they all stood back and watched. (Thesis) This is why it is so important for people to stand up to bullies and to help
In 2011, Peter Van Uhm gave a speech called “why I chose a gun”. The general was wearing a uniform and quite often referring to the fact, that he chose the weapon to do this world a better and safer place. He also stated: “…today I want to tell you why I chose the gun to create a better world, and I want to tell you how this gun can help...” Nevertheless, the question is whether someone agrees with the statement or not.

On June 26, 2016, Jesse Williams accepted the Humanitarian Award onstage during the 16th annual Black Entertainment Television Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The modern day activist was rewarded for his “commitment to furthering social change,” and his work in raising awareness of the Black Lives Matter movement. Williams acceptance speech took a turn from the cliche “thank you mom, thank you dad, thank you chair, and thank you table...etc.” to dedicating the award he worked hard for to black people in general. Williams spoke out about cultural appropriation, racial issues, and social injustice. The poetic speech was a call to action for black people to stand up and fight for equal rights and justice in America.
People often anticipate their desire to become doctors at a young age. Perhaps this curiosity in the field of medicine is provoked by a natural knack for science or an inclination to help and impact their community. Throughout my life, the wonders of science have always intrigued my inner curious spirit. Although, I never imagined myself in a doctoral position, but after a traumatic head injury I realized that I wanted to help people the way that I was helped and the mind was my ideal focus. With that being said, becoming a physician specializing in neurology is a long, arduous, expensive process that can only be accomplished with great dedication.
Introduction: Have you ever played a sport where something rare or hard to get happens. That happened to me this summer when we battled our way to the world series. The world series is the most difficult tournament to get to.
Many people believe that leadership is simply being the first, biggest or most powerful. Leadership in organizations has a different and more meaningful definition. A leader is someone who sets direction in an effort or task and influences or motivates people to follow that direction. The power point presentation explains leadership is the influence that particular individuals exert on the goal achievement of others in an organizational context.
