    The biggest fear, is fear itself.

    +

    “Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.” At some point in everyone’s life there is a time where they are scared of something, whether this may be an object, a person, a thought, or just the fear of failure depends on the individual. With that being said, each person also handles their fears differently: some need the help of others while another group of people may cope with them on their own and challenge their fears to try and get rid of them. Fear has several ways of representing itself as well, this can occur by internal or external thoughts and this also depends on that individual and the fear itself.

    +

    When I was a kid I was exposed to a lot of hunting weapons including knives and guns because a lot of people in my family enjoyed going big game hunting. I was never scared of knives or pointy objects until I encountered my first visit to the doctor’s office. My mom had made the appointment for me to get my yearly physical, which at the time I thought was no big deal, especially since all my friends had told me that you get a lollipop after the office visit. I got out of school early that day so I could go to my appointment; when I arrived is when everything started to founder. I walked in, my hands are shaking, I started to sweat, and this was all because of the word that the nurse had said, “shots”. Although I was never scared of sharp pointed objects before, the fear of being stabbed with something so jagged went through my whole body. As I walked into the observation room my symptoms started to gradually get worse. The amount of sweat that was being produced was insane because staring at me from the other side of the room were two needles. The nurse walked into the room and from the minute she saw me knew exactly what was going on. She talked to me for a few minutes about school and friends and then I remember that she grabbed the needles and set them next to me. Just as I was starting to calm down, all my nerves shot back up and I was right back where I started, a nervous wreck. She tried to explain to me that these were not going to hurt and of course being a stubborn little kid, I didn’t listen. She told me that if I turned my head away from the needles she would show me that it really doesn’t hurt without actually administering the shot. I listened and as I did this I felt a pinch and she told me that’s all it would feel like. As soon as I turned around both needles were empty and a sigh of relief left my mouth. If it was not for that caring nurse, I would probably still be petrified of needles.

    +

    From that moment on, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I may have been young but after that experience, I knew that becoming a nurse would not only be a good thing for my future but I would be able to be that person that helps people get through the tough times in their life when they need someone the most. Having to cope with the fact that you may be dying, scared of a procedure, or just needing someone to hold your hand while you get an immunization is the reason why I wish to help people. Being exposed to such a wonderful nurse at such a young age is the reason I want to continue and be the best nurse that I can be.

    In my senior year of high school I got a volunteer opportunity at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan in the Emergency Medicine Department on the midnight shift; I jumped on the opportunity to go and see nurses and follow them first hand. This activity lasted about 8 months and every weekend I would go into work with my mom and follow the nurses around to see what I was getting myself into. Throughout this experience I learned how to do almost every procedure on a patient that a registered nurse does in the emergency room, and even go do some of the procedures under supervised conditions. I became fascinated with needles. There are so many different sizes, colors, and techniques to every needle and with each one, there is a different way they are used. Some are for people with tough skin, others for people that have very thin skin, and some of them are used to administer different kinds of medicine. It is crazy to think that one little needle can be used in so many different ways, but what astonished me more was the fact that all these nurses knew what kind to use and why to use it. They would show me how to use them and have me practice using them on oranges in order to really understand the concept behind each one.

    +

    Not only did the needles interest me, but so did the preparation of the procedure as well. There were so many steps in getting it all right, even though it did not always work one hundred percent of the time. One of the nurses gave me a tourniquet to try and put on and it wasn’t easy; I couldn’t believe how difficult and time consuming some of the simplest looking steps were. They always made everything look so easy when in reality, it is the complete opposite of what it all seems. By the end of my time there, my knowledge increased twenty times more than it was before, especially because when I started I thought that all needles were the same and in reality they are all different.

    +

    To think that my whole preparation for my career started from a visit to the doctor’s office is impeccable. I was once a scared child who feared anything that had to do with medicine or a hospital of any kind to someone whole will potentially work in one in the near future. There are certain people in life who believe in making a difference, not only nurses but those who help others daily: teachers, counselors, or even the average person on the street. I want to be one of those people that strive to do the best in life, but on a medical standard. Helping kids, adults, families, and others by just being there after they get the news from the doctor or other care giver would make my life one worth living.

    Ok, so i take this class thinking it is going to be the most significant to my career in nursing, but turns out its a class where you write about different kinds of technology. Even though most of my papers are going to be based upon machines in the medical field i dont see how this class in particular is going to help me in my career as a nurse. It is one of those classes where they say you need it but in reality you really don't need it to succeed. It is just a way for them to make you take an extra class; On the bright side of this situation, id rather be writing about different kinds of technology than African culture, or Women in America; that class would bore me to death and its probably a topic that i would fall asleep while writing about. I'm a good writer so I'm pretty sure that this class will be fairly simple for me, at least i hope it will be. I really don't need any more extremely hard classes at the moment. I'd end up going insane or going through nervous breakdowns every night, neither of which is good for mine or anyone's health.

    Today seemed like a pretty easy day in class since all we did was make our online accounts and submit our papers to Eli. The one thing I cannot stand about this class though is the amount of websites that it uses. I miss when everything used to be in a textbook and you would do the work, write the information down, type it up and hand it in. This whole, " I think its a good idea to put assignments online and have my students submit them irks me. Why should I have to go on multiple websites to do different assignments related to the one topic we are discussing? I mean if professors are going to start making us do our stuff online, I strongly believe that it should be on one website or through email. This class alone has Github, Elireview, D2l, and who knows what else is coming. My other classes have online work too and it makes me go insane sometimes because I never know where to go for what class because I have so many different cites to use. MSU needs to reevaluate this concept.

    3 words. I HATE GITHUB. This website is probably the most confusing thing I have ever laid my eyes upon. You have to "fork" things, which I guess is a copy and paste option and I dont understand why they just dont call it COPY AND PASTE. It is a simple concept but they word things completely insane. I personally think it is the most rhetorical concept I have ever laid my eyes upon. On top of that, they have THE WORST set up ever for Windows. The Mac set up is a piece of cake because I saw someone do it at the library but no the windows version must have been made by the devil because there is no way that one person would be able to do this by themselves. My laptop is also telling me that my source cannot be found when I tried to open my blog. Excuse me, but I think that after I spent hours trying to configure this program my blog should be somewhere. It is the simple things about this class in general that I don't seem to understand.

    So I guess that this guy wants to relay a message to his Uncle about how he let him on this Earth without anyone to be there for him because just as he experienced being shunned by the family before killing himself this kid is now too. He is going through the same life experiences that traumatized his uncle before he passed. The video achieves his purpose by the use of a letter and the broadcasting involved. He hoped that some way some how his uncle would see it and he probably did so, but obviously from a distance. This video taught me to make my lived project personal and no one can tell me my opinion is wrong because it is my story, whether people choose to accept it or not. The structure of the message was very adamant. The author made his point very strongly without any vague points at all.

    I turned in my project, without many corrections only because my rough draft was rated a 50/50 which I am extremely proud of. I am confident that my paper will have a positive final grade and that the professor will likethe flow of my paper. It was not one of those generic papers where the beginning immediately runs into what the paper talks about but instead starts with an interesting topic that begins the nice flow on the primary subject of my paper. I am pretty sure that the prof will appreciate my narrative not only because my story is touching but it also shows how much a nerd I really am, which I think is kind of funny how I incorporated it into my paper. I kind of figured that this class would be kind of simple but I am scared that it will get harder as the class progresses. I am almost sure that i will achieve my goal of having a 4.0 in the class.

    The role of women in the tech industry has dramatically increased; earlier in the decade is was primarily a man's job but now women are getting involved in such activities. They have proven that a it is something that not only men can do but women as well, and sometimes even better than the average male worker. Women have been advancing in the world since the beginning of the 18th century ( the 1900's). Even though they are advancing in the tech industry, some employers still prefer to hire men over women because it was originally a man's job and people are still in that specific mindset, which is wrong but will not be ignored by some people. As, a woman I believe there should be no special treatment what so ever and using the tech industry as an example, men still get paid a certain amount more than an average female worker because it was believed that it was a man's job to take care of the household, but no a days we have women that are single parents and women that are living on their won as well so why should men get special treatment? This is something i have always wondered when it comes to certain jobs and their picture of what the industry should look like and how their pay role is set up.
