The One It was almost the end my junior year of high school. I had decided to take Spanish II online because I had taken Spanish I in class and didn’t enjoy my classmates or the size of the class; I also wanted a different experience because I had never taken an online class before. I put my online class as my first period class so I could stay at home in the morning and sleep a little longer and then work on the class at my own pace. Because I stayed at home for my first period I would have to leave my house by 9:20 a.m. to make it to school by the time my second period started. The day was like any other. I was about to leave when I opened the door to the garage and I saw a small flash of brown dart to the back of garage. The first thought that came to my mind was that it was a kitten but then I quickly pushed that thought aside because why would there be a kitten in my garage. The second thought that came to my mind was a baby bunny because I have an outside cat, Nutmeg, and she likes to torture her prey before she kills it. I always try to save the bunnies or any animals that are still alive when they are in our garage. So I head to the back of the garage to search for the little critter. I reach the back corner and there are cardboard boxes everywhere, but I started shifting through the boxes in the hopes of finding the defenseless creature before Nutmeg came back to eat it. I’m looking and I see fur sticking out from behind a box and as I moved the box I see a tiny fluffy white, brown and grey striped kitten with big blue eyes staring at me. I am in aw that there is a kitten in my garage. I try to grab the little kitten but as I reach for it the cat runs away under some more boxes. We go back and forth between the boxes a few more times before I realize I’m going to be late to school. I couldn’t just leave the cat so I call my mom while she’s at work to see what she says I should do. I’m freaking out because I don’t know what I should do with the kitten because I don’t want to leave it but if I did catch it I wouldn’t know where to put it since my mom told me I couldn’t put it in the house. So I give up on trying to catch the cat and go to school since it kept running and hiding from me. When I get to school I start telling everyone about my traumatic ordeal. The kitten was all that I could think about all day. I also was sort of hoping that the kitten wouldn’t be there when I got home because my mom didn’t want me to keep it, but I also hoped the little creature was still there so I could help it. On my drive home I had these two conflicting emotions going back and forth through my head. I called my grandmother because my mom told me she would call her and tell her to look for it. After I called my grandmother she told me that she went over to our house to look for the kitten but couldn’t find it. But then I got a feeling that maybe she just couldn’t find it because it was still hiding under the boxes. So I get home and start my search for the little one. I left up almost all the boxes and I get the last one under a table at the back nearest the wall. I lift that final box and there is the kitten curled up beside some bubble wrap. The look in the kitten’s eyes was saddening because it

One to One Evaluation Describe the interaction which you participated in and include a detailed description of your communication: I had an informal one to one conversation with my Dad about his health. I know that my Dad’s first language is English and that this is the only language he speaks, I also know that his preferred method of communication is oral communication.

P1 One-to-one communication is when just two people talk to each other. One person will be talking and the other will be listening to the person talking. For this form of communication to work effectively they both must have eye contact to show they are involved and engaged with the person talking and to show they are comfortable with the person talking to them. An example of this form of communication is when I observed a one-to-one in the Royal Liverpool Hospital on a ward when one of the staff…

country, Durham North Carolina seemed to be our common place. It was where our heart resided until our heart no longer had a beat but that didn’t change a thing, the distance didn’t change the fact that we were a family nor did it change our love for one another. They are the reason why I am the person I am today because of their teachings and wisdom they have instilled within me. My family taught me faith, how to love, and overall what a real family was all about and with that being said, I strongly…

smart and cunning individual, as well as resourceful. The people in his kingdom long for him to come back while he is away, but they doubt that he is still alive since he is gone for so long. The gods are the ones who are preventing Odysseus from going home, but not all of them.
