Physical therapy heals physical damage

I liked the essay of Oliver Sacks." When Music Heals Body And Soul". It remembered me some experiences that I had had through my profession. I worked as physical therapist in Colombia for almost eight years. Each patient has different physical problems caused for a lot injuries or damage in some areas of his/her body.I used to work with patients that were incapacitated by damage to the nerves and muscles, especially by damage neurological. I helped a lot of patients who lost their ability to move. There are several rehabilitation techniques which help patients to restore their movement. I felt great pleasure seen the reaction of Patients who moved again any part of their body.Also, when they were able to walk again after of longer treatments. I hope to work very soon in my profession because a love to help people who are disabled.

work-shop.

after class I went to the work-shop. We were working in subject-verb agreement. This session was useful . I think that each student is trying to improve his/her abilities to learn English. Besides, teachers struggle every day to push to the students to reach their goals. In the work-shop of today ,the teacher said that there are a big resemblance between all Spanish students because we usually forget to use the subject pronouns in each sentence. I think every student wants to do his/her better effort. In this moment I had headache . I have a lot information in my head. I want to go to take a rest.

I will try again

Today, after college I went to Jamaica. I spent almost four hours traveled by train and bus ( I went and came back) .I was looking the attitude of several people. I saw that almost all people were unfriendly,especially in the train. There were a lot of people reading, playing video games and listening music. Everybody was busy and anybody gave attention to the others people. This behaivor is the same every day. The people are isolated from the other people. I know that each person has his/her own live and usually each person is busy all time. However ,everybody could be more friendly and give a smile to the other people. when one is a strange , a greet could made the day more enjoyable to everybody. I hope that I

Our weekend

I had an enjoyable time the last weekend. My husband, my nephew and I went to husband's cousin house. She got married last march. She invited us to know her new house. We were there on Saturday. They were very happy waiting our visit. They live in a convenient and friendly neighborhood. Their house is small and comfortable, the rooms are spacious enough and the furniture is fancy and modern. On Saturday night we had a delicious dinner and cheesecake like dessert.
after dinner we enjoy listening music and playing cards. We really were delighted. I hope to see them very soon.

A strange personality

Everybody has different personality and the behavior of each person will have a good or bad influence throughout his/her life. Also, each behavior will have a different effect on other peoples. Even though each person has individual personality, there are some personalities that affect the relationship with the people. For example , I don't like these peoples that are egotistical and picky. These kinds of people think that he/ she is better than others and nothing that you make is enough or right. This week I met someone with these characteristics. I think, this chauvinist man will be alone and unhappy for long time , unless he changes his thoughts . He will should learn that the life is more easy if everybody is sensible, sensitive, reasonable and thoughtful. Besides, He will realize that everybody needs tolerance to keep any relationship.

Burbuja

This week our topic was animals and pets. I haven't had my own pet because I don't spend a lot of time taking care of them.

However, at parent's house we always have had pets . My parents love the animals. They have had several kinds of animals at home, such as big and small dogs, cats, birds, parrots, rabbits and one turtle. Burbuja is the last pet that my parents have. She is a small dog. She is friendly and a faithful pet. She likes playing with the children and bustle around the house . Burbuja is a special pet and everybody enjoys her company.

He does a lot of things there. For example, he supervises that the worker are doing their work very well, he helps to harvest the fruits crops and he enjoys feeding to the animals. I think that my father has been always a healthy man because he has kept very active doing lot of activities . Besides, he enjoys passionately his time at the farms .

The trees usually blossom with yellow and red flowers. Besides, my town has bigger areas cultivated with coffee and its white flowers blossom during octuber.

ONE OF MY GOALS.

I am worried about my educational process. I know that I need to improve my english because it is the key for getting a better future.

On of the topics of this week was body language. I think that it was very interesting to learn about different customs regarding the act of touching the human body in several counties. I want to talk of one things that is similar for everybody and without this structure the human body will not feel any sensation when is touched for someone.
" The Skin and its process of perception ". The skin covers the entire external surface of the human body. It has multilpes roles in the process of perception . Perception is the way in that the human body use your senses to feel a lot of sensations. It occurs through some structures called receptorses, which permit the that body feels a lot of sensations like cold, heat, pain, pleasure and pressure when someone or something touch the body.
There are several benefits that the human body receives through touching the skin. For example the massage is one techinique that has some benefits, like reduce pain and alleviate the muscular tension. Also , the massage increase the normal motor development of children during their first five years.
The skin is a structure that gives a lot of benefits for the body, then for me the act of touching the skin always will be rigth .

American Museum of Natural History

Yesterday I went to American Museum of Natutal History. This is the second time that I had gone. when some friends or relatives from Colombia come to visit me I like to go with them to this museum.

The American Museum of Natural History is very intersting because when one goes there always enrich their knowledge and enhance their vision around the world. There are a lot of information regarding worldwide cultures.Also, each person can learn some things about several contries,like its traditions,customs, and ancient lifestyle. Besides, this place show a lot of animals and give interesting information about their development. I liked everythings about several types of dinosaurs.

A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE

"Raising kids is the most rewarding thing you will ever do in your live, and the love you feel for them is unlike anything else you'll ever know".
I think this message is remarkable and important for each man and woman that has children or someone that will has children. The role of parents have big influence in nurture children. Each child receives an unconditional love from their parents, who leads and shows the best path to follow through the life. Although each child is different ,parents always know how heightened the self esteem and self confidence of their children. Also, The parents want that their children have the best future. They encourage each achivement of their children and teach the value of doing everything in the best way so each child always will enhance his/ her horizon.

infancy is the best moment for building values. Parents must try to give a childhood full of love and happiness and strengthen each good feeling that each child is learning. Besides, Childhood is one of the most important stage in the life and parents are always the mentor of their children . Even though when the children become adults , parents always have the mission of raising their children for ever.

Each son and daugther must keep into their heart the most deep feelings of respect and admiration to their parents. Each feeling of love must be reciprocal.

Today we read a long essay . I thing that these advices help me to read and retain information more easy than before. I want to share these advices with everybody.

1. Use always a pen,like underlinig a line. When you keep the pen moving, your eyes will learn to move faster along with the pen, and so your field of vision will expand.

2. You must be quiet as you are reading. You must avoid hum or read with a louder noise.

3. When use the computer you must keep the background dark and the words white. Also, you must use the cursor like underlining the lines.

4. The columns on the newspaper are narrow. when you are reading you waste more time jumping from line to line. You must use a pen to trace a zigzag from the end of one line to the biginning of the next, so you will pull your gaze back to the left much faster.

With all these rules you might improve your read and become a good reader.Today I felt than I could retain more information . I will continue reading because everything that you want to learn come with practice.
