It was a normal Memorial Day weekend in 2017. My family went to our house in Sea Isle City and we were all getting ready for a good summer. I brought my buddy Evan down for the first time and we were having a great time; fishing, boating, and going to the beach. One of our other friends, Cole, was down with his family, and we all met up one night. Evan's girlfriend (at the time), Tori, was also down in Sea Isle with her friends from school. On Saturday night, May 27th, Evan, Cole, and I went to hang out with Tori and her friends. It was a fun night, we all hung out and had a good time. The next three weeks, though, did not fare as well. On Sunday, May 28th, Evan and I were going to go out again; but I did not feel too well that night. I figured I could just take some medicine, get some sleep, and I'd be ready to go. I told Evan to go out that night and if I felt well enough, I would meet up with him. I was asleep the whole night. Later, the next day, it was time to go home. I still didn't feel too well, but I didn't want anyone driving my car home, so I pulled through. …show more content…
I still did not feel well and was in and out of a fever. Our high-school graduation was on June 6th, and I needed to be better by then. Luckily we were out of school, however, we had mandatory graduation practice for the next couple of days. I felt like I was dying. One minute I would be shivering, and then my fever would break and I would be sweating an ocean. Unfortunately, my fever would break at school during our practices. I walked into school like I just got out of the shower with my clothes on. On Thursday, June 1st, we had our final practice with a breakfast afterward. After the breakfast, there was this program where we got to go back to our elementary schools in caps and gowns and see our old teachers. I just walked through my school, high-fiving all of these little kids, infecting them with my sickness that felt like death. Everyone ended up
I felt terrible. My head wouldn't let up, every broken bone or bruise in my body seemed to be on fire, and I was extremely dizzy, even though I was just sitting. And I really, really wanted some water, but the kitchen was too far away.
Finally, it’s June 3rd. Laura is going to be graduating from Silas University today with her whole family present. With Carmilla still in Toronto, Laura couldn’t wait to see her girlfriend after not being around her for a month. School kept Laura busy, while Carmilla had to deal with work. They’ve had skype dates and Carmilla even managed to help Laura with some homework over the webcam. Finally, she gets to see her girlfriend face to face and she couldn’t be happier. Carmilla apologized most of the time for being busy, Laura felt the same since she had to work extra hard just to make sure she could graduate with honors. She is and she couldn't be happier.
He lifted me up and helped me to the golf cart. I slowly stepped on and sat down on the cushioned seat. He was telling me to go home, but I thought I can’t drive I can barely
It may mark the kickoff to summer, but Memorial Day is truly a day for honoring those who sacrificed their lives while defending the United States and its values. It’s a day to build awareness about the country’s freedom and the significant price for this freedom. Every year soldiers in addition to their families have to pay that price, which is why it was declared a national holiday by Congress in 1971.
After about three days of this my whooping cough was not getting any better and my parents started to get worried. My two older sisters had not suffered as much as I had and they decided to call my doctor. He came to our house that evening and as soon as he saw me and heard me cough he told my parents I needed to go to hospital that night. I was terrified. I had never been to a hospital; well not since I was born anyway.
Moral distress is defined as “when one knows the right thing to do, but institutional constraints make it nearly impossible to pursue the right course of action,” (Butts & Rich, 2022, p.76). In Five Days at Memorial, moral distress certainly occurred among nurses, as Hurricane Katrina brought up a lot of tough situations and choices to be made. The nursing staff all had the desire to give the care they normally provide to their patients, but limited resources and staff made this impossible at times. “The heat and a shortage of diapers and fresh linens had defeated the nursing staff's efforts to keep patients dry and clean. Her skin was raw,” (Fink, 2016, p.193).
On the Saturday of the 10th our dad woke Ethan, Owen and I up really early. We made sure everything was packed and we drove to our grandma’s house. My dad opened up his car door and the cold air flooded through. Ethan got out of the passenger seat and joined Owen and I in the back. Our grandpa sat in passenger while our dad drove. Owen and our grandma sat in the way back while Ethan and I sat behind our dad and grandpa. We got there a little bit before Lincoln, Logan, Marshall, Aunt Janette, and Uncle Steve. When they got there we did all of the boring security stuff and were on our way to Atlanta, Georgia.
For over a hundred years Memorial Day has been celebrated in the United States. Memorial Day was originally called, Decoration Day and it was meant for people to recognize the veterans for their bravery and sacrifice for our nation. Memorial day became a Federal Holiday in 1971 but it was celebrated since 1890. In 1890 Memorial Day was a day to honor only soldiers who took part in the Civil War but after World War 1 it became a day to remember all of the soldiers who have fought for our country.
When they got me down there I fell asleep again, I woke up about another hour later again the nurse was in there waiting for me to wake up just to see how I was feeling. When she left I looked over to my parents and started talking to them, then I turned my head the other way and I saw my mom. I was really happy that she was there because I do not see her much. I talked to her for a little bit, then laid back down. I realized that I was in good hands and I would be taken care of, and that was my new years. So thanks for my parents looking after me at the hospital and thanks for the hospitals for taking care of me and getting me fixed up. The morale of this story for me is if I feel like I am going to fall while snowboarding and getting really good air bring a video
It all began on a Forth of July night filled with intentions for fun and fireworks. Although, the only fireworks we ended up witnessing were the reactions of our parents. Mason, Hunter and Maisy came over to my house to discuss plans for the night. In the mids of discussion, they elected me as their designated driver. After we figured out all the details to our night, we headed out to my car and jumped in to go out to
I thank god I made it home.I was in no condition to drive and should have died. I was up for 23 hours with little to no sleep. I started hallucinating and couldn't focus. I should have never stayed out. I don't know how I even stayed up that long. It was worth it.
That day was the worst but it didn't stop there for about a week I could not eat , think , or talk to anyone my nausea was too strong. As the weeks went by I had a set schedule and got used to my surroundings, the symptoms stopped. I noticed the symptoms coming back when it was time for a pep rally or semester had ended and it was time for a new class and new people. It was becoming a major concern. I did not know why I felt the way that I did.
December 1996 was supposed to mark the end of my high school education and since I had consciously prepared for my core and elective courses, I had nothing to be afraid of; the future looked promising. Then December 3rd came, the day that marked the beginning of my final exams. I woke up that morning feeling hopeful and a little anxious which was perfectly normal. Then we went to the exam hall and settled to start the exam, then all hell broke loose; I started feeling dizzy, cold and sick. I remember vomiting which was accompanied by a throbbing headache but I didn’t remember much after that.
On June 13, 2011, I woke up a happy and excited 17 year old for it was my graduation day and that meant no more high school, no more nagging teachers, and no more drama. I met my friends and my boyfriend Andrew in the school parking lot and away we went to practice graduation. After we had practiced walking and getting our diplomas we all went to lunch and discussed what we had wanted to do with the rest of our lives. After what we had thought to be one of the last lunches together I went to Andrews house to hang out for a bit. We talked about him going away and me staying here and all of the normal stuff that applies in a relationship when one goes away.
It was just another day of my life. The fourth ring of my alarm woke me up. As usual, I was not feeling to go in school. I slept a couple of more minutes.After while, the shine of the sun coming from the window woke me up.I slowly stretched my arms and slid out of bed. I brushed my teeth and took the shower. Downstair,my mother was calling me for breakfast.I was still undecided what should wear for school. After browsing for while I found something to wear,and finished getting myself ready for school. When I checked the clock, I was running late as usual, which was not a surprised. I quickly ate my half sandwich and left the rest of the sandwich on the table.I took my car key, jump in my black Lexus and made my way to school.During my way to school, I got a call from my friend John. John is my best friend since when we were in middle school. He told me that his car was broke down and he needed to ride to school. Fortunately, my friend house on my school way. I told my friend. I am on my way to pick you up from your house. As I got there, john come out from his house and jumped in my car. With sound of Drake singing and music blasting, it was a
