younger, I was never really interested in participating in sports, despite my parents’ insistence. What really caught my eye and helped me pass the time were puzzles and brain teasers. My parents would begin to buy me countless puzzles (from jigsaw to sudoku) and brain teaser books for me to solve during my childhood after realizing I was not very interested in sports. However, I slowly began to lose interest in solving them since they began to be very repetitive and easy. When I grew older, the…
The purpose of the interview was to create an initial profile of a client upon meeting with me, acting as their occupational therapist. The goal was not only to gain vital information regarding the client, but to establish the foundation of a healthy therapeutic relationship between the client and myself. This relationship is of high importance because trust is already being formed, which can impact our future sessions. In the beginning, the interview stared off a bit rocky, but towards the end…

Discussion of personal acquisition/usage of skills. Think about how you acquired these input skills. I think I have acquired these input skills through my life experiences. I have worked pretty much my whole life. I started working at the family business as soon as I could was a dish, clean a table, fill salt/pepper containers, etc. I started pretty young and have had several, probably more than twenty, jobs ever since. I also grew up in a family that was very active in church and I was…
The store manager then had a meeting with all the employees in the store a few weeks later reiterating that taking anything from the store without paying for it is stealing and that we have an obligation to report activity if we are aware of it. This created a personal conflict (Stojkovic, et al, 2015) as I was battling with myself about the right thing to do. However, it was impossible to do the right thing as my co-workers would treat me differently and I would become isolated from the group.…
I… I… just can’t do it. *pant* *pant*. All I can hear is the raging pulse of my blood and Sergeant screaming at me to get up, yet I cannot see a thing because I’m even too prostrated to open my eyelids. I am beat, and I can’t take it any more. I have been training for 4 hours straight, 4 hours! What I have been doing is pandamonium. I have to do 50 triangle push-ups and after that, go swim 25 yards without breathing in ice cold water. No breaks. As much as I want to protect America, I can’t…
If we look 30 years back, everyone owns a mobile phone with top brands at that time such as Nokia, Motorola, and Sony. However, nowadays mobile phones are outdated and smartphones became a trend. Everyone owns at least a smartphone and some of us have more than one. But then, what is the difference between smartphones and mobile phones? Actually, smartphones and mobile phone have no difference at all as both exist for the same reason, connect one people with another. Many researchers have made a…
Clark responds with pen and paper we formulate more than what we can do with just our brains. Writing essays, ordering thoughts and handling abstract reasoning. From a folk philosophy view point this seems reasonable as for example I can’t even do the Sudoku without scribbling down the possible numbers. That it is not the paper doing the conscious thought is shown in Adams and Aizawa joke (paraphrased) “the pencil thinks it knows maths because it is coupled to a mathematician” which shows the…
help keep our minds working and some doctors even recommend them for patients who are older. “Some doctors recommend that elderly patients might prevent or slow the progress of Alzheimer's disease, for example, by doing crossword or jigsaw puzzles. "Sudoku, crosswords and electronic games can all improve your brain's speed and memory,” according to Mark Stibich, a psychologist who specializes in health behavior” (Hile,pg 61). These puzzles help people keep their brain working which could…
