During my day at the Goddard school, I had an opportunity to observe the schools loose nutritional practices. The morning starts off with parents bringing the children in and having breakfast from home. The teacher mentions that the parents choose what they’d like their children to eat for breakfast and they have no specific restrictions. I was able to see this first hand as one of the children had chicken nuggets for breakfast. One main practice that the school did stress and implement was having a designated peanut free table. If I child is allergic to peanuts they were to sit at that table for safety reasons. For snack time the children were provided raisins and dry cheerios. The teachers rational behind the snacks is that they have a low sugar content and incorporates grains. There aren't …show more content…
During my observation throughout the day, I was able to learn many different ways to interact with children that I will take with me in my practice as a nurse because of you. You have a way of being able to be caring and loving but, professional at the same time. When you walked into the class room and all the kids were excited to see you and wanted to leave their breakfast you simply redirected their attention by explaining the importance of finishing breakfast. It was something small but I would have just let the kids get up not but using a remembered like “breakfast comes first always” helped ease what could have been a chaotic situation. Another, observation I had made was the way you always gave the toddlers a choice. In class, we learned that giving toddlers a choice was very important but seeing you put it into practice really brought it home. From asking them what sink they would like to use to wash their hands to what book they would like to read before their nap I was constantly seeing you give them a choice. Thank you so much for letting me observe your
Having different food can affect a child health. There are milky ways, cake, cookies, pizza and lets just add some French fries in there and call that lunch. Don’t forget the drink sweet tea, pop and milk that one doesn’t choose to drink it. The students would go back to the class rooms after twenty minutes and be hungry at the end of the da. Garland said, “Instead, we allow school cafeterias to dispense the same junk food that kids could buy in any mall” (621). There has been so much junk food and soft drinks in schools that makes the student health unsafe and a distraction to their education. Garland mentioned that the students are filling up with fat, salt and sugar rather than filling up with fruit, whole grains and vegetables. Schools should be about healthiness, and well balanced diets. With having Students eat healthy can boost up their energy and ability to learn. With that being said when I was in high school it was nothing but junk food for three years. When Michele Obama changed the law on the school lunches my senior lunches have changed. It was nothing but healthy food like whole grain, no sweets, two scoops of fruits and vegetables. At Odessa they had a school store loaded with junk food that would be sold out by forth period. When the law came to the school there was nothing but baked chip and replaced with other baked nutrition food or we had nothing at all. The drink machines were changed out

Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside Emma Bliss, both as a
Ever wonder what happens if everything changes in a blink of an eye? On June 3rd, 2016, I graduated secondary school. That night in my middle school gymnasium, the administrators had organized a celebratory party in the graduate’s honors. I remembered dancing the night away with the people I held so dear to my heart for nine years. The strobe lights shining and music blaring while we were staring at each other with content. We parted ways at the end of that cheerful night. We were sad to say goodbye, yet we didn’t know that some us were saying goodbye to each other for ever to go lead different lives apart from each other. At the time, I knew that moment will always be a highlight of my life but later I came to know that it was also a catalyst for change. Although freshman year and half of sophomore year brung hardships that have come and go, the experiences have changed me for the better throughout the year and a half.
Lunch is one of the most important meals of the day and is consumed mostly in school cafeterias for children and adolescence. Wholesome lunches are vital in maintaining a healthy metabolism and give children energy for the rest of the school day. Children are advised to eat healthily but do not always do so because the choices of tastier, fatty foods offered in school cafeterias. The National School Lunch Program, NSLP, which is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools set nutritious guidelines for lunches served in school cafeterias (USDA). However, school campuses still offer foods high in fat as well as selling candy, chips, and soda in their vending machines, as well as their school shops. In order
The regulations passed by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act make it harder than ever for schools to provide adequate nutrition to students by having such rigorous guidelines. While some schools have had no issue following guidelines, not every school is able to source viable food while staying in budget. It is vital that cafeterias are able to successfully meet guidelines, but it is also important that they provide food that students will eagerly consume as well as help them become better students.
Education plays a dominant role in the lives of students all over the United States. Since most students spend roughly eight to twelve hours in school, it is important to make sure that they are provided with a healthy and nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack.
Throughout my high school experience, I've been able to obtain knowledge that I can use to better my life. Some of the classes I've taken have been a blessing in disguise. For example, I never expected to learn as much as I did about writing and literature by just simply reading. Many of my teachers have pushed me to my limits and inspired me to think differently from my peers. In general my best English experience was reading "MacBeth" by William Shakespeare in Mr. Elwell's class, where I also realized I had many English skills to improve on.
On my trip to Churchill Middle School I was paired with a sixth grader named Finley Kane. Finley takes eight classes every day and it placed in Accelerated English and Accelerated Math. These classes are more advanced classes for the students that are ahead of the rest of the grade.
When I was three my mom threw me into the cruel frozen tundra of school. Eleven years later I walked into worst place for anyone can go… HIGH SCHOOL. Tucker High School was dark and gloomy with many creatures roaming the halls some were good, but most were evil. Within the good were my squad: Ebaa, James, Grant, and Sam. They could be compared to my eyes leading me to my destiny. Students in the schools are the same as coal in many ways. They have dark minds, ruin the environment, and are very combustible if you light a match (gossip). Another similarity is that there are patches of diamonds, one in a million coal's that were refined enough over time to become beautiful. Those diamonds are my squad, but were going to have to dig a bunch of coals to shine our light. Gosh, it's going to be a pain!
In my time at Haddonfield Memorial High School I have choose to take some of the hardest classes and pack the most into each year. With six to seven classes and very few study halls or electives, my days are filled with academically challenging class after class. I always come home in the spring after picking schedules with the excitement that I have picked the hardest classes and have one of the most rigorous schedules. For some this may seem daunting, and at times it can be, but I also love learning, and because I have taken every class I can and pushed my self there are so many interesting things I would have never learned if I haven't done that.
The day has finally come. Move-in day for Johnson C. Smith University “Home of the Golden Bulls.”I marked my calendar every day faithfully. I dreamt of this glorious day after I proudly had walked to stage at my senior graduation for high-school. I was fresh out of high school, ready to pursue my dreams and become a step closer to reaching my goal in hopes of becoming a doctor. I made constant lists and like, Santa Claus, “I made my list and checked it twice.” I endured lack of sleep of packing and filling my living room with of the necessary and miscellaneous things for survival. I would be the first child (even though I am the middle child of seven) to be the furthest away from home.
There I am, starting my first varsity basketball game while only being fourteen and a freshman at Ballard High School in the suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky. The loud and rambunctious crowd driven by the rowdy student section yelling chants and jumping up resembled the same atmosphere as a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium. As the other team comes up the court, I run up to to the ball handler to try and defend him. However, about three steps before I get to him, I heard a pop in my knee and fell to the ground in immense pain. As I grabbed my leg while squirming around, I was scared because I had no idea what had happened to me or what was going to happen. Fast forward a few months, I am laying on a table in a doctors office while facing the bright ceiling lights, I couldn’t keep still and desperately trying to ignore the dreary situation. I was trying to focus on staying warm in the oddly cold room, but the events from that one night kept running through my head— The pain, my overwhelming fear, and my mothers frantic face when i was being rushed to the hospital. The doctors told me I had torn my ACL and part of my meniscus. I can remember the innocence of my response to the news: “So
Growing up in apartments scattered about the city of Los Angeles, I never understood the close-knit communities I saw represented on television. I was conditioned from birth to avoid neighbors, never speak to them, and understand that our relationship was maintained only by the walls we shared. All of the informational materials from my current institution, Hollins University, promised a small community and a great sisterhood. Settling into this school was a jarring experience, to say the least, because the school so aptly delivered on its promises. Doors were left unlocked, trusting hands left phones on cafeteria tables, and smiles were openly exchanged with strangers on the way to class. While I have grown fond of this small community living in the Hollins Bubble, I need to reconsider my place here for several reasons.
Luckily, I am very comfortable with patients, which made providing care very easy. I was not afraid to go into other patient’s rooms if they rang for help. I would try my best to help the patients; however, if I needed help I was not afraid to ask a fellow student or nurse on the staff. It is very important to be able to talk to patients and work as a team with fellow coworkers as it made the job easier. On the other hand, I need to go over mother and baby assessments to become more familiar with both. I was able to complete the assessments; I now need to do so in a timelier manner while ensuring I do not forget any key areas. Lastly, it is vital that I continue to go over patient teaching prior to clinical. Being comfortable with the patients made the teaching easier, though I need to become more familiar with all the material that needs to be taught.
