Incentive Narrative

One time when hard work paid off for me was a year ago. I was a freshman in a very hard school that's grading scale was a around 5-7 points instead of the normal 10. My grades were sinking and sinking until I learned that I may be kicked out if I don't do better. I was frightened, all the stress of high school made me procrastinate and now it's showing in my grades. So when the new advisory came I told myself I was going to study harder and do all of my work better then before, and it showed. I got all of my grades up and in one of my worst classes, Algebra 1, I got an A on the final. I was so excited because I was now able to stay in my school and that I now have the skills to raise my G.P.A. even higher before senior

I had assumed Jack had gotten the same letter too. By the way I was getting absolutely drenched. Saying that is was pouring that day is an understatement. It was raining like you cannot believe. Anyway, I opened the door to my house quietly because I didn’t want my mom to know I was home in case I received bad news in the mail. I locked myself in the bathroom and peeled open the envelope. On the top in big font it said “Red Bank Catholic class of 2021” My eyes darted down the paper. The letter began by reading “Congratulations on your acceptance to Red Bank Catholic High School.” I could finally breathe, until I started to think of all the responsibilities that came with this acceptance. I had to wear a uniform, not a sports uniform. I can’t just “not care” about school anymore either since my parents were paying $15,000 a year of their own money. I’m going to miss my friends (Alvino) and also I’m not going to have the luxury of being the last stop on the bus going in and first out.After I thought of all the negatives that came with this I thought of the positives, and to me the positives outweighed the negatives by

I knew from the very start when Spinks told us about this field trip, that this would not end well. Now we have crashed a plane into waters, and I can’t wait to tell my parents that I need a new phone, and it’s all their fault for sending me on this awful “vacation”. All I wanted to do was tell mom and dad that I was right all along. Some of the freshman begin to applaud, glad to be rid of the corny jokester. Most, however, seem genuinely concerned, myself only somewhat

It's 3:30 in the morning on a Saturday and I’m awake. I get up and head to the bathroom to get ready for the big day. Today is Arcadia and it's the very last field show I will ever march with some of my best friends. I can’t wait to see them. It’s 4:45am and I’m in the band room half awake but overly excited for the long day ahead. Andrew, Becky, Matthew and I ride together on the way to Arcadia high school to get ready to perform our field show, “The Final Chapter” later on tonight. Once we get there we meet up with the others to go watch the day bands perform and to buy food and pins. It's our last Arcadia. The time finally comes for the Riverside Kingsmen to take the field, all I can do to remain calm is think through my drill and my music we’ve got one shot let's make it count. Before I know it we’re done and I have performed the last field show I will ever be apart of, but that's not a scary thing it's an exciting moment because I played my heart out and and hit every flank like a boss! We’re off to get our scores and see who won Sweepstakes, they announce third, then, second, then first, then Sweeps...we did it! We won sweepstakes and ended our last year with a bang! My friends and I are celebrating, laughing, crying and taking it all in. Weeeee just did it together! We eat, load up and are on the bus ride home, everyone is either playing games and talking or asleep. It's 2 am and i’m finally home and in bed

“ I don’t want to hear one more word from you, now go back to class.” the principal stated sternly as she assured me out the door. I went back to class and finished the rest of the school day. When I arrived home my mom sent me to my room until my dad came home to talk with me and discuss my punishment. After my dad’s lecture

Although admitting, that he wanted his high school years to end swiftly and did not attend his graduation ceremony. Danny continues the dialogue, informing the counselor, “I established no interest in after-school activities.” Danny notifies the counselor, that one of

When I got my first job as a PT aide I met Tali, the woman who would become my mentor and confidant. She was tough as nails with bright red hair, a thick Israeli accent and arms that looked like they were sculpted out of clay. I'll admit, she was the most intimidating woman I had ever met, but she was also very sweet. I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into when I was assigned to her. She had such an unorthodox way of treating patients. It was completely bizarre but also absolutely brilliant.

As you know the reason that for CMS and other health care agencies to come up with quality incentive payments (QIP) to enforce compliance and improve quality patient care because of the rising medical costs, staggering patient safety concerns, rampant malpractice. The increasing burden of chronic disease, health insurance fraud and inappropriate pay become a heavy burden that the health care unable to bear financially and it was the impetus for incentive payments. However, some argue that incentive payments are dangerous pernicious because providers may avoid accepting patients with complicated problems and who are simply incompliant of care. Bonis, (2005) stated, ” A potentially even more pernicious outcome of QIPS would occur if providers,

The Morning of August 3rd began with a "Back to School" meeting, grades two at a time went to an assembly to go over school rules, the dress code, and how to be successful in, and outside the classroom.

Over Christmas break, I mostly accomplished nothing. First, on Friday, I had my birthday. When I got home from the bus, I was already expected a letter from Reagan to see if I got in or not. I first went to the kitchen counter and , of course, the MPS letter was already open, suggesting my Mom opened it. On the top of the paper it showed the name of the High School that I applied to and below it, it showed the words yes or no. A surprised look came over my face when it said yes to all the high schools listed. To sums things up, I got into Reagan, Rufus King, and Hamilton high school. Next, to celebrate my birthday, my family and I went to the 5 o'clock steakhouse, which happens to open at 5 o'clock. Then, throughout the rest of the break ,

Ahhh” I sighed as I sat on the bed of my cabin, “good to be here”.

It is also assumed that the act of telling a story can provide insight into past, present and future events (Espinoza, 1997). By going through this process, individuals can find the importance of certain events and assign roles to people who are a part of their story. This act can allow a client to find new meaning and understanding to their reality (Espinoza, 1997). Not only is a

“Wow you and Cyps actually talk. When did this miracle happen,” Atom joked. Cypruss and I happened gotten along the best since his latest release. He was still pissed about what happened to Y and he refused to every love me again but he wants to still be friends. That was hard to do with Tibolt calling me a whore everything his father wasn’t around. You would think Cypruss’ oldest son would be more mature than that but his father spoiled him even now. Cypruss loved all his children but Tibolt was defiantly the favorite. “Cypruss and I have agreed to be friends so that Benders Academy will run smoothly,” I replied. “So you’re working with the principal to the school you’re not even going to,” he pointed out. I sighed, “Atom you know I can learn nothing from Benders Academy and plus I still have Fossilsalive to look after. I you love to go to school but online school suits me better.” “I get it but you’ll be missed,” he through his hands up in defense. “Well I’m glad to have you all out of my hair for seven hours five days out of the week,” I said

They shook their heads, and I slowly got up from the floor, telling them to go back into class while I called my mom. She picked up on the third ring, and as soon as I heard her voice I began crying again. She freaked out, thinking that I was hurt or something of the like. I assured her that I was fine, and then explained to her what had happened to Josh. She began crying, apologizing for the fact that I had lost yet another friend at such a young age. She asked me if I wanted to be checked out of school so I could come home, but I told her no because I wanted to see if I could find someone who had more information on what had happened. I hung up the phone and got onto Safari, googling Josh’s name to see if anything popped up. There was an article stating that a teenager had crashed on Memorial Road, but they were unsure of the cause of the crash or who the victim was. I eventually gave up and went back into Coach Lovett’s classroom, sitting in the desk behind Shelby’s. I got out my AP Government homework and tried to busy myself, distract myself. The class did not have a substitute teacher since Lovett had left so suddenly that morning, so everyone was surprised when he came into the classroom, talking quietly on the phone. I immediately stood up, walking over to his desk, where he was packing up his things. He told me that all of the boys were at Braxton’s house and that I was more than

It all started at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year. I had Mrs. Walker’s English class for my first period of the day. The semester started off like every semester the first week we went over the syllabus, which was full of short stories and four books that
