Week 8 Progress

I think, looking back, that I have made good progress so far and that I am happy with my level of learning and growth. I have a pretty set weekly routine as far as finishing the assignments goes, and I really enjoy the storytelling option the best of all of them. However, I think my grade points-wise is lower than I want it to be because I had to skip a few assignments in the second week to take the MCAT and just haven't gotten around to doing enough extra credit to make up for it yet. I did do some of growth-mindset extra credit last week, though, and really enjoyed it, so I am planning to do more of those this week to help me. Looking forward, I think I want to be more proactive on finishing the blog comments and project comments so that I have more time for the extra credit.

And, more specifically, I feel that religion is a foundational aspect of understand why and how people think the way they do - another consideration that can significantly impact patient-provider interactions. Having said these things, does that mean that my sole purpose of stud...

Week 3 Story: The Ordained Horse

Image
The Ordained Horse Grass tastes good. Luscious, green, dripping with dew; these images are enough to make any horse's dream. If only I could eat in peace, without those Brahmins monitoring me in the distance. They don't even eat grass, anyway! They've been following me for about a year, now. It was relatively agonizing when I first saw them. The feeling of being watched would initially never desert me; I bet you humans know exactly what I speak of. You probably wouldn't like it if you were constantly followed around with, say, a camera, would you? What was more disturbing than the fact that they were watching me at all was the fact that I didn't know why they were there. They let me roam as I pleased, let me chew on my scrumptious grass as I pleased - only under their supervision, however. Why did they need to be there at all? Eventually, I got used to it. I just let them be now, although I cannot say that I enjoy their presence. I go back to munching on my...
