...Surgery I was so scared. There was going to be blood, and sharp things going down my throat. I don’t do blood and sharp things, especially in me. I was so worried I wasn’t going to make it through surgery. I wanted all the prayers and thoughts I could get. I woke up early on January 6, 2015, the day we were suppose to come back to school from Christmas break around 7 a.m. My phone was blown up with notifications from friends wishing me good luck for my surgery. After reading every single one I replied back with a Thank you. I couldn’t eat before I had surgery and I had to wear loose fitting clothes. So I wore some pajama pants with a hoodie. I pulled back my hair, grabbed my headphones and a blanket, then I was ready to go. It was me, my mom, and my little brother in the car on the way to the Via Christi Hospital in Wichita, Kansas. This is where my surgery was going to be done by Dr. French, my ENT doctor. As we drove to the hospital, I listened to music to try and calm myself down. But instead I cried my whole way there. I was so emotional and I had no clue why. Eventually I calmed down and I was on my A game and was ready to go. Sooner than I thought, we arrived at Via Christi St Francis Hospital.

My name Allison Soucy and I'm a soon to be graduate of Van Buren Secondary District High School with the goal of attending college to obtain my Ph.D. in psychology. Like hundreds of thousands of the other high schoolers all over the nation time to decide which college I should attend is running out. As I have evaluated each college the main factor in which college I choose comes down to the price tag attached to each college. Unfortunately, my first choice college, University of Maine, seems to be out of my price range. So, this is why I am here today. At first I thought the idea to raise money for college on a gofundme page was a ridiculous idea. I mean, who would want to spend their hard earned money to give it away to some random girl on the internet to help her pay for college? Then I thought, what do I have to lose, right? All I habe to gain is the possiblity of...

...with Jenny Craig then put all the weight back on to promote her own weight loss program. It was a strategic business move on her part. We watch these ads and consider utilizing the products because these celebrities endorse even though most people are aware that there is more to the story. Providing a person does not have any underlying health problems, weight loss is about lifestyle change and not a magic solution or quick fix like fad diets and surgical interventions. Surgical Intervention There are many types of surgical intervention for weight loss with the most popular being gastric lap-band, gastric sleeve, and gastric bypass. How successful are they? In the documentary series, “My 600 pound Life,” one patient who was coming out of anesthesia reached down to feel if her stomach was gone. The disappointment was visible on her features and she talked about not understanding why the stomach was still there. There is a lack of education where these invasive procedures are concerned. In the same series, people routinely talk about being unable to stomach the special diet that these procedures require. Most people who have these procedures fall back into unhealthy patterns because the underlying issues have not been dealt with. These procedures do not change a lifetime of bad habits. Many patients will lose large amounts of weight only to gain it plus more weight back. Preparing for...

Fair to say, Lindsey had always been good with children; that was why she wanted to go for Early Education. Just two more years, and she would start living her childhood dream. It had been a long morning, for both her and Bobby. She hushed him to drive faster. She could not wait to get home, to lay on her queen size bed for the rest of the day. Her stomach started to growl. Thinking about it, she hadn’t had a chance to put anything into it yet. To her surprise, there was an opened box of chewy bars in the backseat. She couldn’t remember how it got there, but it might just be either one of her parents who put it there, so she grabbed the first one that she could get her hand on. Lindsey tuned in the radio; the country station was on, like always.

...Dr. Martin’s Office 1 Seeking a Referral The Professor was not feeling well. In fact, on that Tuesday afternoon, he felt tired and generally “down” physically. During the 15-minute drive home from work, he developed slight nausea and gastric discomfort. When he reached home he headed for the bathroom. For the next several hours, he experienced severe diarrhea and recurring waves of nausea and vomiting. After a few hours, the nausea had subsided somewhat, but the gastric distress persisted through most of what proved to be a long night. On the following morning, the Professor called the office of his primary care physician, Dr. Martin. Dr. Martin’s nurse, Betty, came on the line. The Professor detailed his physical problems of the previous night. “Betty, the nausea is pretty much gone, but the gastric discomfort is quite severe. I really feel that I need to see a doctor.” Betty replied, “Dr. Martin is booked solid all day, so it would be hard to see him.” “Betty,” the Professor said, “I really feel that I need to see a doctor. Suppose I go to the HealthCheck Clinic. It’s close by, and I’ve always gotten good service there. Could the doctor refer me so that the University’s insurance would cover the visit?” Betty’s voice took on a doubtful and clinical tone. “The doctor would not refer you to the clinic. However, I can ask him to prescribe something for the diarrhea. We’ll call your pharmacy and place the prescription.” Slightly perturbed, the Professor said,...

...him. Johnny is an uncommon person to find. He has characteristics that are hard to discover in someone, especially a guy. Readers will identify this because his personality traits are unique and is easily likeable. This book is well written. In a way it is relatable because everyone has their friends that they hang out with, like the gang. They stick together and stand up for each other but there is always someone who seems to not like everyone but still may need them in their group. Maybe only for rides to hockey practice or to help fight in a rumble like in the book. They seem to like each other in the end though, they might not admit it to anyone, or even themselves but at the end of the day they like and need each other. At the start of the novel, Johnny is scared at so many things. He is one of those boys who “jumped at their own shadows.” (Hinton, 179) The Socs ganged up on him and beat him up. “Soda reached him first. Johnny was lying face down on the ground. Soda turned him over gently, and I nearly got sick. Someone had beaten him badly. We were used to seeing Johnny banged up- his father clobbered him around a lot, and although it made us madder than heck, we couldn't do anything about it. But those beatings had been nothing like this. Johnny's face was cut up and bruised and swollen, and there was a wide gash from his temple to his cheekbone. He would carry that scar all his life. His white T-shirt was splattered with blood. I just stood there, trembling with sudden...

Out of the listed typical festive Halloween activities, I participated in quite a good number of them and it was pretty good being the first time for me to observe Halloween and attend Halloween activities. Before I started my Halloween with my family, I had the opportunity to speak to some new people I met concerning the event (Halloween). speaking with them made me see and realize that some people most especially the extremely rich people that are really confused of what to do with money spend so much on Halloween in ways that I couldn't even believe or imagine. People actually spend thousands of dollars making costumes especially for themselves and their families about two to three weeks before the Halloween day. Like just a man that was said in the news that went to a mask workshop to get a...

...“The Blacklist” In season full of mediocre (or worse) new shows, NBC's The Blacklist has been a nice surprise. When I saw the pilot, I thought it had no business being as rock-solid as it was, but I wrote off the show's long-term prospects because I didn't think James Spader was enough to carry the show on a weekly basis, and the ongoing story about Red and Elizabeth seemed pretty obvious. However, after catching up on the series this past weekend and watching Monday's "General Ludd," I realized that I was only partially correct. Spader is mostly up to the challenge as The Blacklist's centerpiece, and the ongoing story is pretty obvious, but the show has done quite a bit of legwork to keep it compelling in the first eight weeks. Although it's likely that the plum post-Voice time period gives The Blacklist most of its ratings juice, I'm no longer shocked that it's the season's biggest hit. Here's why. 1. A good balance of procedural stories and ongoing mysteries I've had a few discussions with friends lately about what it means to be a broadcast drama in 2013. One of the takeaways has been that, more often than not, when people think of a broadcast drama, they tend to focus on shows that are almost exclusively procedural, relegating the obviously "great" examples like The Good Wife or Scandal to a small group of outliers that are more often compared to "great" cable shows. And while I love the kind of intense serialized stories those series can tell, shows like The Blacklist prove...
