¶ … Life
I went to college at LaSalle University, and I wanted to help others. It seemed corny, even to me, but I wanted to be that person who people could always turn to. It started when my brother went to rehab for a chemical dependency problem. I wasn't sure how to react. I was angry, of course, but my heart was breaking, as well. He looked so sickly when he left home and I kept thinking I should have seen what was happening to him. I should have been able to do something to help him. When I went to visit him, it became very apparent that he wasn't the only one suffering with addictions and problems like mental disorders. I had to help him -- and I had to help the rest of them. It became my passion, because it was born out of something that was very personal to me and that I could relate to. I turned to nursing, because it felt like the right way to go about my goal, and I started my career at Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut as a Psychiatric Technician.
After several years of working with inpatients ranging from adolescents, dual-diagnosis patients, and intensive care patients, I transitioned to a Discharge Case Manager. I spent nine years there, and transitioned again -- this time to a Residential Counselor. At that time I assisted in the creation of a transitional house for people with persistent psychiatric disorders. It provided different types of therapy, so a wider range of people could be treated. I'm now DBT and Cognitive Remediation certified and I've helped so many people who really needed someone to care for them. With more than 10 years of experience at Silver Hill behind me, I'm ready to take the next step into nursing. My past experiences -- both personal and professional -- have equipped me well for this. I remember the people I've helped, and I remember those who helped my brother when I needed it the most. His 13 years of sobriety and the patients I have worked with remind me every day that what I do really, truly matters to the world.
At the same time, a series of interrelated events occur between the communication partners over time and space. The active sender is comprised of encoder / interpretation / decoder. The passive-recipient, on the other hand, constitutes decoder / interpreter / encoder. Similar to the Shannon & Weaver theory, each encodes and decodes the message according to her own interpretation of content. Ultimately, communication is made up of signs. It is we

My itinerary focuses on the world of finance -- the complex world in which numbers, business, and events coalesce with moral and ethical philosophies to help guide the world forward. Particularly in this chronological time, in which people have become jaded and cynical about this world, my experience and desire to provide more than just numerical analysis to my education provides me with the opportunity to interact with a
Even as I speak however, I know that we cannot hold out indefinitely, without reinforcement from France, there is little we can do but attempt to survive as long as we can. I still have hope that we may weather this British storm. Sincerely, Sergeant Koller To Whom It May Concern: The siege has gone against us, the battle is slowly turning. The British have attempted to break down our city, but little
Education on managing or eliminating debt early in one's professional life should also be combined with realistic education on the state of the economy and the impact which this has levied on personal opportunities for financial comfort. To this point, individuals are not finding the jobs for which their education has qualified them, are not achieving a pay commensurate to what they anticipate are their living requirements and are unable
Part 2 Universities and colleges have been described as 'loosely coupled systems...' "What does this mean to you based on the readings?" loosely coupled system is one that only occasionally works, and sometimes produces unpredictable results. Given the disparate goals and social elements of the modern university, a university is clearly such a loosely coupled system. Students come wanting a degree to get a good job and may have to take liberal
