Assessment Outline 1



Paragraph 1

TS: First choice for the project was not Apple Rehab

SD: First choice was Pequotcsepos Nature Center

CM: Had to take my own action

CM: Ended up changing because could not get a response


SD: I had 2 choices to act, (Stay with the Nature center and get behind or go to a different site)

CM: I chose to go to a different site called Apple Rehab

CM: Chose this site because my sister had gone there for her project


SD: Patience has been a tough thing for me

CM: Going to Apple Rehab and dealing with older people would help me to overcome this

CM: Helping someone that needs to do things slow will help me work slow and not rush through my activities.

CS: In the end Apple Rehab was a great choice for me, and it turns out that I didn’t go to the Nature center for a reason.

                                                   Paragraph 2

TS: Throughout my visits I had many troubles

SD: One thing was understanding Frank

CM: At times I could not understand what Frank was saying and got very frustrating

CM: I felt like I wanted to give up at times but knew I had to work hard and push through


SD: Emotions were also tough to contain in my experience

CM: Felling badly for Frank happened almost at every visit

CM: I knew that Frank had a problem but it made me feel like I wanted to help him couldn't


SD: Finding things to do is a tough thing when there isn't much you are physically able to do

CM: Frank has a hard time doing mostly everything

CM: This made it extremely hard for us to find fun things to do together.

CS: Dealing with things is something that not only I, but also everyone in life will have to deal with, and this is just one great example of working with I having.


                                              
                                                            Paragraph 3


TS: I did lots of good things going to my site
SD: Going is one of the biggest things I did
CM: For me it was hard to get to my site but I knew when I got there I would be helping
CM: Making time for my site as also a big thing.
CM: My schedule is always very busy so sometimes it is a struggle for me to go visit Frank

SD: Taking the anticipative top ask when I need help was something I did well on.
CM: When I knew it was hard to talk to Frank I asked Barbra, the woman that takes care of volunteering at apple rehab, ways to help me talk to Frank
CM: She helped me and I think that is one good accomplishment for me to be independent

SD: Another thing that I think I did well on at my site is remembrance.
CM: Fink can be very random at times and it effetely helps to right paragraphs when I can remember details.
CM: Being specific in my paragraphs is one of the most important things I need to do.
CM: With ought righting notes it is hard to remember details but I think I have done a good job remembering.


CS: Complimenting myself is tough but I know that I have done good things and need to praise myself for them.





                                                      Paragraph 4

TS: Researching Franks disease definitely gave me a better understanding on how Parkinson’s disease works
SD: As I researched I came to see that all of the symptoms matched how Frank walks and talks
CM: It was quite interesting to learn about the disease and why he has the symptoms he does
CM: It was much more interesting to learn about Franks disease.

SD: Elderly care is something that I have never researched before
CM: Therefore all the info I found was brand new to me
CM: It turns out Parkinson’s disease is a very tough disease to control and there is no cure

SD: Elderly care is way more complicated than I thought it was
CM: I knew that taking care of the elderly was tough but I didn’t think about if the person had a disease or not.
CM: Taking care of the elderly by it is tough, but taking care of the elderly with a disease is a whole different story
CS: I definitely understand my subject much more than I did in the past.

                                                            Paragraph 5
TS: To Kill a Mockingbird definitely relates to my site
SD: When Dill had to visit an elderly woman he didn’t want to
CM: Attics made Jam and Scout because he knew it would be a good experience for them to have.
CM: In the end Jam and Scout realized that it was a great experience and became close to the woman they were visiting

SD: Apple Rehab was never really a “fun” thing for me to do until just recently
CM: I never really had a good time talking to Frank until I realized I had to make it worthwhile
CM: When I Really started to listen to Frank I found out that he actually had a lot to say and was very knowledgeable.

SD: To Kill a Mockingbird was a book about learning, in my opinion
CM: Going to Apple Rehab is about learning and that’s why this book definitely relates to my visits
CM: I think of my English teacher just like I think of Atticus.
CM: He is a very knowledgeable person that knows what’s best for me and that’s why I am going to Apple rehab
CS: To Kill a Mockingbird, in many ways, relates to my visits at Apple Rehab

                                                               Paragraph 6


TS: When I look back at my past visit I would have changed many things that I did


SD: Although I had a good time and learned a lot I could have doe some things much better

CM: one thing that I could have done better was question

CM: Questioning Frank was a tough thing to do but if I had thought up questions before hand the visits would have been much more productive


SD: Taking my time is definitely another thing I would have done differently

CM: Although I was very patient with Frank, I sometimes tried to leave right when my required hour was up

CM: This didn't happen every visit, but it shouldn't have happened at all.


SD: Being serious is something that everyone needs

CM: Although being serious is a good thing, too much of it can be bad

CM: I f I could change something in my past visits I would have changed my attitude.

CM: As I look back I realize that sometimes I was too serious and needed to become more relaxed around Frank

CS: Many things could have changed in my visits for the better, but nobody is perfect, and it shows that I definitely learned a lot about how to act around the elderly


                                                                        Paragraph 7


TS: Going to apple rehab has definitely changed me


SD: This experience has changed me mentally and physically

CM: Working with Frank made me realize how fortunate I am to be healthy

CM: Frank made me realize that I should never take my health for granted


SD: Although I am healthy, every once in a while I think o myself how lucky I am to not be injured or disabled

CM: Before visiting with Frank I never thought about my health and abilities

CM: Frank has changed the way I look at health


SD: The last thing that definitely changed me was patience

CM: My whole life I have struggled with patience, and I chose to see Frank for that reason

CM: Frank helped me overcome my patience, and I know that these visits are definitely going to help me in the future

CS: The Assessment project has helped me, and changed me more than I

ever imagined it would before it started.
