Recommended: Child growth and development

Why did I just do this? That is a question I ponder all of the time in life when I do things. Regardless of it taking my children to the park or I go to the store on impulse. I had my oldest son when I was fifeteen and at that time I had to learn to think more about my decisions. It started when the doctors told me he needed surgery. They told me the possible outcomes of the surgery and what would happen if I didnt do this for him. At that point I felt helpless because if I didnt do it then my son would have to grow up with an ostomy bag until I decided to fix it and, I for one didnt want him to go through that process of always changing the bag when it was full. I was sold at that point that he needed this surgery but, before they would they

    ...e I knew how it felt when I was younger and no one had helped me out. This decision of mine took place when I was either in 9th or 10th grade, because I see a lot of children being hurt by different actions. It shaped me more into seeing that I want to help children in all sorts of areas. Because children, always need the first care they deserve. If there are more people trying to help today’s children, I feel that they can be in a better place. For me, I didn’t have anyone to talk to about what was going on in my household till I was later on a teen. If it waited that long for me, how will it be for someone who had a worse life than I handle it? No matter what goes on, I feel that helping children will make me feel I accomplished something in my life. That is why, I will continue to get my Master’s Degree and work my way up to help those children that are in need.

  • The Marrow of Tradition

    1474 Words  | 3 Pages

    As the United States developed and grew, upward mobility was central to the American dream. It was the unstated promise that no matter where you started, you had the chance to grow and proceed beyond your initial starting point. In the years following the Civil War, the promise began to fade. People of all races strived to gain the representation, acknowledgement and place in this society. To their great devastation, this hope quickly dwindled. Social rules were set out by the white folk, and nobody could rise above their social standing unless they were seen fit to be part of the white race. The social group to be impacted the most by this “social rule” was the African Americans. Black folk and those who were sympathetic to the idea of equal rights to blacks were targeted by the Ku Klux Klan. (Burton, 1998) The turning point in North Carolina politics was the Wilmington Race Riot of 1898. It was a very bold and outrageous statement from the white supremacists to the black folk. The Democratic white supremacists illegally seized power from the local government and destroyed the neighborhood by driving out the African Americans and turning it from a black-majority to a white-majority city. (Class Discussion 10/3/13) This event developed the idea that even though an African American could climb a ladder to becoming somebody in his or her city, he or she will never become completely autonomous in this nation. Charles W. Chesnutt discusses the issue of social mobility in his novel The Marrow of Tradition. Olivia Carteret, the wife of a white supremacist is also a half-sister to a Creole woman, Janet Miller. As the plot develops, we are able to see how the social standing of each woman impacts her everyday life, and how each woman is ...

  • Surgery: Unintended Retained Foreign Objects

    1708 Words  | 4 Pages

    Retained foreign objects have been a major problem throughout operating rooms, labor and delivery, as well as any other procedural area that perform invasive procedures. Retained foreign objects include soft goods, such as sponges, needles, sharps, instruments and other small miscellaneous items used during a procedure (NoThing Left Behind, 2013). The retention of these items can lead to several complications such as a local tissue reactions, infection, obstruction of blood vessels, and even death (Mathias, 2013, p. 2) According to the OR Manager, the effects of a retained surgical item can lead to patients having a increased mortality rate by 2.14%, an increased hospital stay by 2.08 days, and increased hospital costs by $13,315 (Mathias, 2013, p.1). In response to this, NoThing Left Behind was created. NoThing Left Behind is a national surgical safety project that was created as a system wide policy to help prevent the event of a retained surgical item (RSI). This project estimates that there are 1500-2000 retained surgical items left in patients each year within the United States (NoThing Left Behind, 2013). Furthermore, evidence shows that there has been an increase in retained foreign objects left within patients that undergo invasive procedures that occur outside of the operating room and labor and delivery. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to analyze the negative impact, physically, emotionally, and financially, on patients as well as the hospital, related to retained foreign objects during an invasive procedure. The focus is on areas such as the catheterization lab, endoscopy, emergency room, and other bedside procedures where there is no accounting process in place.

  • Personal Essay On Social Work

    1092 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sometime I have a very hard time with juggling things in life. School, work, field practicum, gym time, being a father, being a husband and still trying to be involve within my community takes a toll. What I use to get my through all of these tasks is my motivation that I find inside me. I believe that as human we all want to be great, we just don’t know how to become great. If you ask a child what do they want to be when they grow up, they will probably say something like a singer, a basketball player or a famous doctor. You will never hear a child say, I want to be a cashier at Wal-Mart or a manager at Burger King. So what happened, what changed, why aren’t theses children what they said they wanted to be when they grow up. Well my theory is because they got hit in the face with life and didn’t know how to cope with it. I got accepted into four colleges when I graduate high school, but I didn’t have the money to go to them. Instead of me complaining about how my parents are not rich and could afford to pay for my education, I joined the military and still wen to college debt free and joining the military was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I have the ability to change lives for the better, I think it would be a selfish thing if I didn’t use my gift to change others people lives

    November 28th 2002, for most was just a normal Thanksgiving but for me it was the day I would finally met my nephew. He was a much anticipated child. He was two weeks over due and we just wanted to him already. That Thanksgiving was different from all the rest. Usually on Thanksgiving the dinner is slowly prepared to perfection and everyone is in and around the kitchen waiting for dinner to be served. But obviously this holiday was different my sister was not there and there only four people at the dinner table this year: my aunt, uncle, the father and me. Midway through the feast we got a call from the hospital that the doctors were going to perform the cesarean section. All I remember is quickly eating my food and then making a dash for the door. When I entered the hospital I became overwhelmed with excitement. I do not know why but everything at that time seemed to be perfect. I do not remember who went into the delivery room but all I remember is that a nurse came into the waiting room, which seemed to be an eternity, and telling us that we could see the baby. We went to go see him, and he lied in the room screaming with his eyes wide open and at that moment I felt a love for a person I never had before. From that day on, all I remember is that I have extreme fondness of children.

    They did not follow through with what the parents ask because a Florida law states you can’t remove organs until the donor is dead. Although it would be sad to kill Baby Theresa to give her organs away, I would agree with her parents and physicians because she does not have long to live and will never be conscious so why not take the good organs and give them to another baby that could live. Ethicist disagreed with the parents and the physician because they said “it’s wrong to use people as means to other people’s ends”, they are saying by taking her organs you would be using her to help other people 's children. When you’re using somebody it means to violate their autonomy, Baby Theresa has no autonomy so there’s no way to violate it. People can’t always decide for themselves, when she could not decide for herself you need to think “what would be in her best interest?” either way Baby Theresa would die so there’s really not a best interest for her. Ethicists also said “it 's wrong to kill one person to save another”, if you killed Baby Theresa to
