My head bobbed in the water while the calm water moved up and down and back and forth in a constant wave. Before I could react, my head went under, held down by two large hands wrapped around my neck. Screaming, clawing, and kicking, I fought whoever pushed me farther down, my efforts futile. My hands latched onto those of my attacker; my hair swirled across my field of vision. The air escaped as water filled my lungs, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. More and more water weighed me down, hundreds and thousands of feet deep. My body gave out; fighting back became a lost cause. Tighter and tighter, the hands squeezed. Breathing was impossible. Awakened by a cold shock through my body, my hands immediately flew around my neck, panting …show more content…
The swimmers, my second family, saw another part of my personality; however, that side connected to the empowered self more than the vulnerable one. After school practices allowed me to escape the terrors I faced at home, and I desperately needed them. Unfortunately, avoiding home came to an end as soon as swim practices ended and as soon as I stepped foot out of school. Anna and I walked out of the locker room like any other day, waiting for my father to pick us up. When I spotted his car, I gathered all my belongings and led the way to our ride home. Eerie silence filled the drive the entire way, with only an occasional word or two—asking about school, pointing out construction, noting the places we passed. When Anna exited the car and walked through her front door, my father pulled out of her driveway and looked at me through the rearview mirror. “You never listen to anything I tell you.” He shouted with his voice only growing louder with each word. “If you don’t listen, you’re not going to do anything again.” It wasn’t the first time he raised his voice because he disapproved of my doings. “Your friends aren’t going to help you. They’ll abandon you just like what I’m going to do to you if you don’t
The systems review is a term used where the physician conduct a system review to assess all body systems starting from the ear, nose, throat, followed by the cardiac status, and so on. The therapist does not use the same system as the physician because s/he does not assess the medical issues. The best term of the system that the physician used is “Systems Review” which is a brief or a limited exam of the physiological and anatomical status of the cardio/pulmonary, neuromuscular, integumentary, and musculoskeletal systems. Whereas, the therapist uses the “review of the systems” in the screening process by looking first for any characteristics of the systematic diseases form the history and the clinical presentation. Then the identified symptoms and signs are well reviewed to find the most system involved. This may provide a guide for the physical assessment either diagnose the upper or lower quadrant. Review of the systems can be applied

Dope boy had an older brother, but, he go shoot a couple weeks ago. Dope boy was reckless, everyone was scared of him even his own mother feared for his life .Shaddy was the slickest one out of all of then, he would get away with everything he did.Shaddy was a only child ,no mother, no father living with his grandparents and living in the worst part of town.
"I'm so glad we can finally move into an actual house than an apartment." Kyle Sapienti, soon to be Stump, smiled and said. He traced the date on the calendar behind Patrick. September ninth, two thousand fifteen. Kyle moved away from it then grabbed the last bag of his from the apartment and packed it into his car. Patrick was taking Kyle's car with him because his car was already at the new house.
As I walk through the revolving doors at the airport in my hometown, I feel the anxiety begin to spread through my body. I have never been away from my parents for more than a couple days. How am I supposed to go nearly two weeks without them in another country? I greet my classmates, and we check in our luggage at the counter. The agent hands me three boarding passes one for each of the flights I will board today. When I check to make sure they are correct, it finally sinks in, ‘I am on my way to Costa Rica.’ As the final member of our group finishes with the agent, I hug my mother goodbye and step into line to go through security. It is time for me to be responsible for myself.
I have no idea how this all started. Seriously. Some people call me some sort of wonder boy. Others say that I had this big, hairy plan. Nope. It all started like this…
Five minutes before the bell rings Kelsey comes back and we head to my next class which is math, hopefully this entrance is better than my last blocks. We head in an a young blonde short teacher with thick glasses is writing formulas on the board, we walk in and she looks our way and grins she says welcome to her class and her name is Mrs. Williams and then she walks to her desk and hands me a folders with a bunch of papers,she said to keep those I will need them. She says my seat is next to the window in the back,good because I don’t want none of these skanks behind me. The bell rings and minutes later the room fills with students. As they are walking in they stare at me like i’m a alien or something, as class goes on I notice a few of the
Everything was load and I was backing away, new to this all. Not sure if I should stay or go. Ready to go home. Wasn’t sure what was going on. I took a seat in the corner of the room. After the bell had rang, everyone was getting quiet and making sure that they can get hear their name getting called for attendance. It took a fews days to adjust to. Then everyone became like one big family, even on the hottest days we stuck together, getting ready for competitions. I had stayed in band, and love it. I had learned to play violin later that year but for my fourth period. Then I had went to band class for seventh period. I didn’t learn how to play another instrument in band but what I did do was Color guard. It was a chance going into a high school
Ring! Ring! The school bell dings and Stan gets up and goes to his locker. He walk over to the water fountain and someone push his head down and he got wet. It was his friends Kyle and Eric. He says” hey what was that for” and Kyle responds “ It was just a joke.” They then exit the school and went their way home. As they walk through a back alley Stan trips Kyle. Kyle falls and hits a garbage can, and the can tips over. In the can was a brown bag filled with money. The boys were astonished and took the money.
Have you ever thought what it would be like to grow up? Over the past 9 months or so, I see change “growth” every single day. I recently just started high school, at Piedmont around 14 years old. My school year will end May 25th 2018, and by that time I could share over what feels like a million lessons learned. This school year I’ve spent my all time worrying about school, grades and the pom team i made. The life during high school is something you’ll never forget until the day you die. Everything to me about high school, is fun and enjoyable but then I realized I’m actually growing up and becoming more independent.
If someone would have told me five years ago that I would be going to college to become a teacher, I more than likely would have laughed right to their face. I have nothing against teachers it just never seemed like a career, that I would purse and enjoy. I actually did not plan on going to college because I honestly had no idea what I would pursue in college. I did not make a final decision about my career path until my last year of high school. I just had too many things going on in my personal life to even think about my life after high school.
When I was five years old, all of my friends were starting Kindergarten. My mom was trying to decide if I would be too; so I told her I was going too. I think that was the beginning of being outspoken and saying what I thought.
These are the people that I swim with day in and day out, they are not only my teammates and best friends, but each and every one of them is my role model. My team is so diverse, a band of intellectuals, artists, geniuses and prodigies, all brought together in one place. Each and every one of these talented swimmers has inspired my inner curiosity, to help unlock my inner potential. Thanks to their guidance and support I became self-motivated to become the best human being I could possibly be- a renaissance man. I devoted all my time and energy into building myself. I studied biomechanics and physics to help me understand swimming and make me faster. I learned how to draw and paint realistically. I studied fashion and reworked my entire wardrobe after years of only wearing camo. I taught myself how to cook and manage groceries. My coach taught me how to be mentally strong and how to endure pain and stress. I learned conversational skills by talking to random people I meet during competitions. I learned about sportsmanship and being humble by shaking hands with competitors after races. Most importantly, I learned how to be a leader when I took over the position as team captain. These skills are some of the most valuable lessons I have learned in my entire life. These skills had values are often not taught by schools, however they are more important than any other subject they could
Like most people, I didn't grow up knowing exactly what I wanted to do as an
