 Herbs as Medicine There are various types of herbal medicine that have been used for thousands of years to successfully treat diseases. Why do we still doubt this who really knows? Herbs or plants have a long history in treating disease and health disorders. This started as a traditional Chinese medicine; for example, the history of herbal medicine goes back over 2000 years. We are most familiar with Garlic, Chamomile, Peppermint, Lavender, and other common herbs. The pharmaceutical industry is always looking for new drugs and, more pills that are effective in treating diseases. For some there is very little or no drugs available to make any pain really go away. Herbal medicine is safer and more effective and it’s been around for thousands of years. When it comes to the cost of pills, herbs are cheaper and, does not damage the body as well as drugs do. Most herbs are made with Dandelion, Comfrey, Digitalis, the Poppy, Milk Thistle, Stinging nettle, and many...

The Nursing home I work at is a great home and rehab facility that takes care of elderly and sick. It provides food, shelter and a place where residents can sit back and relax. They have an excellent adult daycare, assisted living, and senior apartments. I first started working there on January 31st of this year. When I first started I was nervous and didn’t really know what to expect. I was not handed any major responsibility during my first week, just entertain the residents, and bring them outside for some fresh air and hoping to get to know a little about everyone. On my first day, I went and gathered all the residents to the activity room where they spend time with their friends, and finally have a chance to leave their room. Everyone gets in a circle and we play cards, catch the balloon or even watch movies. As I was sitting there playing a card game I noticed an adorable lady named Anita. I went up and started a conversation with her. She was very quite and to herself...

             The person who influenced me the most in my life would have to be my  grandmother Maria Borges. She was short, 5 feet tall, with beautiful brown eyes and soft short brown hair. She was always dressed very nicely wearing her clothing, and matching her colors to a tee, with her gorgeous  Portuguese jewelry. She was a loving caring woman, and was a very supportive person on the decisions that I had made regarding any of  my career choices . One thing you would always see her doing was laughing and smiling; she always had a positive attitude towards everyone or everything.                  I visited many different countries with her and my family such as Portugal,  Canada, and Florida. The place I will never forget is one summer I went to Portugal with my grandmother. In Portugal there was many different stores with a w...

          This picture  shows a young boy sitting at the breakfast table enjoying a nice big bowl of Frosted Flakes. He seems very determined to finish that whole bowl by myself. This little boy looks like he can't wait to dig his spoon some more and, take some really big bites. Near him on the table is a big box of Frosted Flakes and a gallon of ice cold milk to pore into his bowl .On all Frosted Flakes commercials there logo is THEY'RE GR-R-REAT! Which gets the children attention and all love repeating. A cereal like this so famous that everyone adores it and, it's just something that no one can really get sick of eating anytime soon  I believe this message shows us that children will always love cereal and it's one thing they will never get sick of. The audience that targets this picture sees that children of all ages love eating this or there own favorite type of cereal they love. Many k...

Family is the most important part in my everyday life. I choose this topic because I know this is something I enjoy talking about and, I can tell stories about my family for days at a time. My favorite time with my family are on Sunday afternoons. This is when everyone heads over to my Grandparents house and enjoys them selves to a delicious meal. During this time we all come together and, laugh and, enjoy one another’s company. If anyone in my family is going through a rough time or, just needs a shoulder to cry on were all just a phone call away. Family is very special to me I love and respect them all. There’s one thing about family, friends come and go but your family is what you’re always going to have to fall back on in the end. Other options:  Technology: Is technology good or bad in some ways? Does it help us learn new things? Can people live without it? Food : Food can bring the family together. The difference  between Portuguese and American cookin...

I’m a very creative writer once I know exactly what I want to write about. One of my most memorable pieces of writing that I did was last semester in my writing class. I had an assignment where I had to write about my major, which was early hood education. I started to jot down ideas about the way interacting with children was important and also helping them understand when they did something wrong. I didn’t really have much to write about and wasn’t that interested in this career I’ve chosen. My teacher pulled me a side and was honest and said it wasn’t that great in seem as if I didn’t have much passion for this career so, she was nice enough to let me chose another option. I went home and started to write about the nursing field and notice that I really enjoyed learning the medical language and helping people. The next day I came in and my teacher reviewed both my papers and realized I had more of a passion for the medical field than working with children so, from that day I changed...
