Music players are a distraction to the listener and possibly people around them. I say this because if you are really deep in the music that you are listening to, then you are probably not fully paying attention to what you are supposed to be doing. Lets face it, if you have music in your ears while you are trying to do a homework or work assignment, then you are not focusing on that task. This is because you are listening to your music while trying to do other things, and dividing your attention between music and whatever it is that you were supposed to be doing. Music can be a big distraction to others around the listener because while most people use ear-buds or head phones to listen to their music, a lot of the users now-a-days have the volume maxed out to where people around them can hear their music.
Growing up as a child, I would always depend on writing as a getaway from society. I would write whatever came to my imagination and bought it to life with just a paper and an ink pen. Writing was a tool that was very beneficial to me during my teenage years and even now in my adult years. I have had some experiences that were both good and bad when it came to writing, but nonetheless, writing became my forte in my English courses. The feeling that I have when writing is a very joyous one because it is my nonverbal communication to express my emotions and thoughts without the critism of the outside world.

While reading the novel My Sister’s Keeper it took me back to the year my mom died, just like Kate she too needed a kidney but wasn’t as fortunate to live long enough for it to happen. More depth into the book I began to put myself in all of the characters shoes, Kate and Anna were both brave. Anna was brave because she kept undergoing surgery for her sister donating stem cells, bone marrow, and blood which were all not easily done. Kate is also brave because she never once complained; she loved her sister more than herself and she already knew her fate was decided. ”My sister’s the one who’s always had to imagine life without me”.
Her patient turned her down a few times in a row but this time her patient turned up and we were both very happy. Despite of doubting her patient would turn up or not, she is always fully prepared to treat her patient. The way she communicates( to obtain more informations about her patient) with her patient was kind of cool? She talked to her patient like they are friends, yet maintained her professionalism, no doubt, she successfully built a rapport with her patient. This will be the hardest part in which I struggle the most to achieve in the future.

Throughout Vivian Bearing’s entire life, she has been a dedicated scholar and professor. She studied John Donne’s poems religiously, so much that in her eyes, this idea of intellectualism and wit is the most important thing life has to offer. She takes pride in her knowledge of seventeenth- century poetry and often comes off as harsh to students who simply are not on her intellectual level. However, as Bearing’s eight-cycle cancer treatment comes to a close and the realization that death is on prowl, Bearing no longer puts Donne on a pedestal. As Bearing’s death approaches, she realizes that wit and intellect are not the most important things in life, but instead, kindness and humanity is what brings a peace of mind.
There are plenty of times patients and family member will either bless me or curse me but I will carry my job to the fullest. I see people at their worst and at their best and it ceases to amaze me the capacity people have for love, courage, and endurance. I have seen the delivery of newborns and I unfortunately have seen patients pass away and I try my best to hold onto them. I believe by attending Saint Paul’s school of nursing I will receive the best education Saint Paul’s school of nursing has to offer
In order to fully demonstrate the immense affect that defining herself has on her well being and on her life, Mairs uses strong and very descriptive language. This is extremely evident throughout this section because she uses empowering words to emphasize the power she feels from defining herself. Although she is able to easily call herself a cripple, she “would never refer to another person as a cripple” (30) because she believes that each person should define themselves. Mairs then goes back in time and explains, using imagery, the story of how she was informed of her disease, MS, and how it impacts her life. Although she is not ashamed of her disease, she still feels that “one never finishes adjusting to MS” (36).
