Personal Narrative: Dealing With Children With Disabilities
One of the common factors that I decided to focus on was children who have disabilities. I definitely understand how it can be a challenge because as a CSW I watched a family with five children, three of them had autism struggle most days. Though they struggled they still managed to give those kids the nurturing environment they needed. Dealing with kids with special needs can be very hard because everyday is different, some days things are going great, then one day the child is having a meltdown and nothing you do seems to help. So for parents who aren't prepared for this life style things can seem overwhelming and frustrating. Sometimes parents who aren't well informed about their child's disabilities can confuse normal set backs as disobedience

    Growing up can be challenging even with the ideal surroundings. Your teen years are even more puzzling because you seem to be stuck in between being a child and an adult. Throw in not having a father or mother around and life gets difficult. The year 2001 was a difficult year for my family and the nation. My life growing up wasn’t picture perfect, but in one very long month I learned that kindness from those around will help you endure and survive.…

    When asked to write about a childhood experience most people think of the time they lost their first tooth when they were 6, or about the time they started school when they were 5, however, I’m going to write about summer. It wasn’t just any summer it was the summer that I went to the lake with my Dad and Papa. I was about 4 and couldn’t be any more excited about what was going to happen…

    In the piece by co-authors Paula Fernandes, Nelson DeBarros, and Li Li, as well as the piece written by Georgina Kleege, we can see how these authors use rhetorical devices in order to draw in and persuade their audience on the topic of disability. Through a deep and thorough analysis of the texts, we will be able to understand how their focus on certain rhetorical elements and techniques creates flow in their writing, how the ideas motivating their writing are expressed, as well as how these elements combined create an effective narrative on the topic they are trying to discuss. The topics, though surrounding the topic of disability, use very different approaches and have very different targets with their works, with one being especially…

    She was born on a busy summer night on September 13th 1918 in Brookline, Massachusetts. I always had the feeling that Rosie was a little different from the rest of us. On the day of her birth the midwife arrived late, and my theory is that this action deprived her brain of oxygen. We were proven right when she failed to advance from kindergarten and was deemed to suffer from intellectual disabilities. When this happened our parents began to conceal their third child from society.…

    While they may not be able to control all of their circumstances, they can learn to manage his or her response. My goal is to make sure my students understand that they matter and that they are worthy and have a choice. I say this because it is human nature not to readily take responsibility and place blame when things don’t go well. While I understand some students may have tumultuous circumstances, I still must try and encourage them to choose a positive path. I believe we become what we believe. My goal is to help students experience a shift in thinking so they can begin to see themselves and their situations differently so that they can begin accept the reality of the current circumstances and try and work beyond those perceived limitations. You experience a change in thought when you begin to know and value yourself and take responsibility for your own…

    The issue you tried to cover is really unique and good. When I was a child my siblings used to help me study mats, physics and chemistry. They always used to show me step by step and then, they let me practice with several similar questions. That helps me for my present knowledge. I remember there were other children’s whose parents will do their home works for them. For sure they used to get a better grade but I am not sure if it helped them. There for from my own experience it is better to guide them and let them to try and fail; since it won’t hurt them to fail instead it will teach…

    Growing up, I was unalike from other kids, I was "imaginative". During class, I would always by myself, writing bizarre stories with preposterous characters and with an unpredictable plot, while the other kids were playing with their friends. Many of my classmates would be entertained by loony stories, while other kids thought that I was just some lonely nitwit writing absurd stories to make up for not having any friends. In that year I was relocated to a different school, which I didn't want to go because I didn't have any friends at the school, I was currently attending and it would be much more difficult to make new friends. In the following year, I was still that shy girl in the back of the classroom not interacting with anybody, but it…

    10'000 hours, WOW! When thinking of these hours it seems like an such a long time doesn't it? It seems as if it will take your entire life to finally reach these hours. However, in all reality it will only take you a max of 10 years if you are a hard worker, dedicated and passionate at what you do. I personally do not think I have yet to reach these hours as an Early Childhood Professional. Although, I believe I have yet to reach these hours I am certain that if I do the math I will either be at 10'000 hours or somewhere close to it. The reason being because I have been in my profession for a little over 7 years. I started out as a Education Aide (five years) working 30 hours a week and worked my way up to Assistant Teacher (one year) and Head…

    I have volunteered at Woodland Park After School Care Program, where I was a counselor for kindergarten to 2nd graders. During my time as a volunteer, I helped children with their reading homework. I helped them read stories and answer wh- questions according to the story. I have worked at a summer camp in the summer of 2015 for two months. From the morning until the noon, I was a counselor for children in 5th grade to 8th grade. My mornings consisted playing a sport with the children and then arts and crafts. From the noon until the end of camp I was a one-on-one counselor for a child with Autism. I was responsible for planning out her afternoons specifically for her. I made sure she had time to play in the playground, sandbox (which she loved),…

    Have you ever felt God call you to do something, and yet brush it aside as though it was meant for someone else? I became enchanted with American Sign Language in high school, when I befriended a Deaf group of students. I now realize I was fascinated by the language because, unbeknownst to me at that time, I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. Any time I saw Deaf people or Sign Language Interpreters in the community, I couldn't help myself but to watch them. By the time I was a mother of two I knew I wanted to be fluent in the language, although finding the time seemed out of the question. After four children and seventeen years of marriage the door to my future career was opened. My marriage had ended and I was responsible for providing a financially stable home for my children.…

    Working with kids didn’t seem like a big deal at first. In fact, the idea was really intriguing. However, as the time began to bring me closer to the moment, I could feel my heartbeat… every single pound in my chest harder and louder than the previous one. It beats so hard, I thought it might escape my chest. The thud began to echo in my ears, louder than my footsteps against the marble floor. I paused at the doorway, letting my eyes roam the room before anyone noticed my appearance. One last time, my unsteady hands quickly ran down my thighs through my faded light blue jeans. As the door stood towering above me, I let out a shaky breath, closing my eyes. I grasped the doorknob, the cold metal sending a shiver up my already quivering arm. I…

    Growing up as a little kid I really didn’t have any toys or friends to play with. My dad works in construction, I asked him one day if he could built me a little play house for me, he told me that he would think about it. Until the next day he brought in some wood, nails, paint… so on and so forth to build the house. Now, this house was like no Barbie house, this house was a life size house for a little kid. I remember helping my dad drawing and building it to make it looked all pretty. The house look like a real house, it had a door with a door knob, and a window. The house could even fit in my blue chair with letters on it so I can go inside, sit down and eat my snacks in there. I loved it so much I would usually take my naps in there.…

    My favorite age to work with is preschool children. However, I can deal with kids up to about eight. After kids turn eight they just become awkward and annoying lifeforms that argue. Older kids morph into mini little teenagers and I just cannot unless I absolutely have to. I find it difficult to motivate older kids and even harder to find things that they don’t already know or hold their interest.…
