By taking advantage of many of the opportunities that Kettering has created for their students, I have learned an array of things unmatchable by any other community. From working with younger swimmers on how to flip turn to teaching Fairmont Industries kids how to play “Go Fish” to helping a student with their Algebra homework, I feel as if I have touched the lives of many students in different ways, simply because I was offered a chance through the community. The reward of giving back to Kettering will stay with me forever. I am so thankful to have had all of the opportunities given to me through Fairmont High School. I will proudly wear my ‘Firebird Pride’ into college next year, along with all of the redeeming qualities I have learned from all of my experiences.
Erika Casas English 121 2/11/12 Struggling Through Cancer “Cancer”, it’s a disease that has claim the lives of millions, it’s a disease that so far has no known cure, and it’s a disease that has many different forms. As for my situation I wasn’t the one diagnosed with cancer; unfortunately it was my dad. My father had been complaining of a very uncomfortable pain in his lower abdomen; major weight loss, and very fatigue. We never expected it would be something more serious than just poor diet, or just a small bug he was getting over. The news was out my dad was diagnosed with “Colon Cancer”, life changing for him as well as for our entire family.
Medical professionals and scientists initially blamed the spread on the filth and overcrowding in the immigrant neighborhoods. Immigrants then became the scapegoats and the slums of the larger cities were blamed. However shortly after that Polio spread to the wealthy and again the fear was heightened. Parents were terrified
My first report will be on the failure to protect Baby P. He suffered horrific abuse, yet the same social work department that was criticised in the Victoria Climbie case never took him into care despite a number of warning signals and injuries. The failure to protect Baby P was because of poor practice by health professionals, social workers, police and lawyers rather than systematic breakdown, a serious case review found. Professionals in the London borough of Haringey saw the boy 60 times before his death, caused by his mother and stepfather, and the inquiry found agencies communicated with each other and procedures were largely followed. However, there was a poor flow of information in some areas. Despite being on the child protection
When I first went to fight, mom I didn’t know what to expect at all. They made it seem like if I defeated the enemy I would be a hero, but no one ever proved how dangerous it really is. I can’t even explain the feeling; you would have to be in my shoes to understand. Most of us definitely learned the horror of trench warfare as we lost the war by being the victims of the first poison gas attack. More than 6000 Canadians lost their lives, I’m just thankful that I am here today to write you this
Odle had been specifically designed to guard students against the disease which had ruined may lives. It was the most feared disease and it was the reason as to why Principal McDonald had built the impenetrable fortress that Odle Middle School was. But now, the fortress had been rendered useless and the presence of the Red Calculator was publicly acknowledged. The Red Calculator had profoundly affected the Odle community. And one by one, its pupils dropped off to their miserable sorrows in the bloodied halls.
Soon the government invested money just for the research of the influenza epidemic, it wasn’t much and the studies for it didn’t begin until the pandemic was over and a lot of Americans began to loose interest in what caused it. (http://www.pandemicflu.gov/general/greatpandemic2.html) The short term effect of this pandemic was that it killed millions of our people not just in the U S but all around the world, which is never a good thing. The long term effect was that it gave scientists and physicians cause to research and learn more about what caused this pandemic and rectify it or at least ensure that this won’t happen to the extent that it did. It also opened up the doors for research into other fields of medicine. Another problem that I reflected on was the way African Americans were still being treated in the 1900’s.
Because of the injury I will never run, surf, stand for longer than 10 minutes, or hike again. These use to be my favorite things to do but the outcome far outweighs what would of happened if the clerk would of just filed my shot records correctly. Because of this injury it has saved my life a couple of times that I know of. The day I had my hip replacement surgery is the day that my unit left for Iraq. Of course I was upset to not be able to go and be with my brothers and sisters but the injury held me back and that’s life not much I could do about it.
HLH 201 Sicko Paper Sicko is a documentary film by Michael Moore. The film explores healthcare in the United States and compares it to those healthcare systems in other countries. The film showed many of the people in the United States who are uninsured and how injuries, the cost of medication, and diseases have altered their lives. One of the scenes that really had an impact was when the mad had cut his leg open and was stitching it up himself. I have been fortunate enough to have healthcare through my mother’s job all my life, however I did have problems with my ankle about two years ago.
