" Rescue 471"
In “Rescue 471” the author tells us about some fake calls where people fabricated fake with ‘911’. First of all, he writes about a
61-year-old man who cheat with them . Next they go for a gunshot injured person on the street but they don’t find any wound. Another call is a motor vehicle accident where they transport only one person who has back pain. Another is they are called for someone who fell from a building, but when they arrived they see a firefighter who fell on his shoulder. He is walking and talking. The most surprising call is a three-year-old girl whose tooth is sticking out at a 90 degree angle.
In my opinion, when I read this chapter I feel some people have no work, so they just bother people. For example, the 61-year-old man who did funny things when the writer is checking him. His everything is good except his blood pressure. I think he felt bored in the nursing home, and for that reason he did this drama. He wants something different from his monotonous life. Another reason could be his family didn’t visit him so doing this he wants their attention. He wants to spend some time with his family members. Nobody wants to live alone in his older age. Finally he doesn’t wants to live in the nursing home, and he wants to go to the hospital. He wants more hospitality in the end of his life.

“Classification Essay”
Do you like your job? Is it interesting to you? A job is very important for our life. Everyone has to work for their living. But some people do their job without interest; they do it unwillingly. But I have chosen three types of jobs that I am interested in and these are- problem solving jobs, helping professions and creative and artistic job.
My first choice is a problem solving job. I like to solve problems and find solutions. There are many kinds of problem solving jobs such as environmental engineer, lawyer, researchers and so on. I want to be an environmental engineer. An environmental engineer’s job is, he has to find problems and its solution. If there is any complication with the environment he has to find out why it’s happening and what the solution is .For example, if the climate is changing, they tell people what to do to protect the environment. I like this job because it is important for us to make the environment suitable.
Another choice is the helping professions. I like to help people, it makes me happy. There are many kinds of helping professions like police officer, doctor, teacher, etc. Of these professions I would like to be a police officer. A police officer’s work is answering calls, taking complaints, visiting the place where an accident happens, interviewing people who make the complaint and so on. There is a lot of danger and adventure in this field, but I think it would be exciting.
Yet another interesting type of job to me is creative and artistic job. My most favorite one is creating new things and new designs. I love to do this type of work. Some creative and artistic jobs are painter, photographer, fashion designer and so on. They can make many interesting things. An artist who made surprising things from everyday utensils is Christo. He chose fabric for his great work and he became famous by his work. There are thousands of examples in this field.
In short, I would like to say, you should do the types of work you are interested in . It will make you happy. I like those three types of job the most. I like to create something, help people, and find out problems and their solutions.

“How to Plant A Tree”
Do you know where oxygen comes from? Where does carbon-di-oxide go? The answer is
‘Trees’. We all know trees are important for our breathing, but planting a tree is not easy. It is
not only digging a hole and throwing the tree in it. If we want to grow a tree by plant or seed,
both need special care. If we want to grow a tree, we should keep in mind the following steps.
First of all, select the right time of year for planting the tree. Time selection is important
because if we plant a tree in the wrong season, it could not survive. We cannot plant in late
spring or summer because the heat will stress the plant and it could die. In general, April and
May are the best times to plant trees. September and October are the best times for Hibernation.
Hibernation means a season of heterothermy that is characterized by low body temperature,
slow breathing and heart rate and low metabolic.
Secondly, choose a suitable tree for the region, climate and space. In other words, we
have to choose the right tree for right place. For example, nuts, berries and apples grow well in
New York. But if we plant a warm plant, which means plants that are suitable in warm weather,
it will never survive in New York. We should keep in mind which kind of plant is suitable for
which atmosphere.
Next, prepare a hole and tree for planting. After completing the steps, it is the time for
making a hole. For making the hole we need a shovel and some garden tools. Make the hole
little deep and 15 to 20 inches wide. Be sure the hole isn’t too deep or too shallow. Sometimes
the hole size depends on what kind of tree we are going to plant. Then very carefully place the
plant or seed into the hole, and cover it with dirt. Remember if the new plant is from tree, then
keep the top part uncovered.
After placing the tree into the hole, we should use some compost or composted manure
and water if needed. Compost meaning decayed organic material used as a plant fertilizer. If the
soil is not rich or it is full of dust we must use compost. It will give the tree a new start. Fill
quarter of the hole with dirt, and the rest of this with compost. Use water to keep the soil moist.
Giving water is the most important part of planting tree. Give fruits and nuts extra attention.
Finally, very carefully take care of the tree because the first few days it needs extra care
to survive. Give water once every day and protect them from insects. When they grow up enjoy
the fruits and vegetables. It makes us happy, when we see our tree is full of fruit, flowers, and
vegetables. Furthermore, If we sell it will increase our income.
Though it has some steps and it needs some special care, it is going to be more fun when you
can eat fruits or vegetables from your own tree. It also saves our environment from pollution and
gives us fresh air, which is full of oxygen.

Criminal Justice Speaker
Yesterday I attended a lecture about a man who prisoned for 21 years without committing any crime. Derrick, the victim told us about his past days, how he was arrested? The lecture was located in Community Building room number S-112. I walked to the building from Trailer 2.
In 1991, when Derrick was celebrating New Year with his friends, a terrible murder case had happened nearby. A girl went back home and found her boyfriend laying on the ground was murdered by someone. The police wanted the girl point out who is the murderer, but she didn’t know who did this. The police pushed her must have to point out someone. The girl point out Derrick and said he was the murderer. They didn’t listen to derrick’s explanation. As a result Derrick got arrested and prisoned for 21 years. However, he didn’t give up his life, he read books, learnt something new in the jail by himself until he got released. In addition, we had another speaker who was wronged murdered his parents. Because of his wife’s sickness, he couldn’t come. We just heard a few story about him from his lawyer. His parents were attack by someone, though his father was unconscious he thought they were attack by their son. He called police and they caught him. They also didn’t listen his explanation.
Police play an important role in our society. If any crime commit, first we see the police. But if they are unable to find the criminal and caught any people it’s a problem.
“Rescue 471” Final Reflection
This week I finished RESCUE 471 by Peter Canning. The final two sections are called “Memory” and “The Job”. Although the ending is bittersweet, it ended on a high note.
In the section “Memory” I read a chapter named “Joe” who was about a patient. He was very mean to his wife, he is veteran of the war, and likes to tell jokes. He has a long history of medical problems. A significant idea in the chapter is on page 241 Peter says, “As much as I like the medical challenges, I like the people best.” Clearly, interpersonal skills are a very important part of Peter’s job. Sometimes these skills are just as important as having medical knowledge.
In the chapter “Life” from “The Job” section Peter response to a call for a seven day old baby, who choked. The father is holding his baby girl with a pink blanket. The baby is on anti-AIDS medication. A significant idea in this chapter is on 280, Peter feels appreciate about his work. He started to love his job again.
Another chapter “Asthma” from the same section where Peter respond to a call for difficult breathing. A thirty-year-old lady had a history of Asthma. When Peter tries to listen her breathing, he finds nothing moving inside. After analyzing he was able to save her life.
I enjoyed reading about Paramedic’s profession, their work, patient and so on. I would recommend someone who is interested in medicine. I would like to learn more about paramedics.
“How Your Birth Order Influences Your Life Adjustment”
The article “How Your Birth Order Influences Your Life Adjustment” by Lucille Forer states that every child in a family has different positions. What makes parents happiest in the world? What make them perfect? What do they wait for? I think the answer will be child. It is the greatest gift to them from God. They love their children more than other things. But if any parents have one child they treat him/her differently than those have more than one. We can see many examples of this different point of view.
In this article we can see Forer describes children’s position in a family. She also said that the birth of the child is an important part of the identity in the family position. The author explains which child has what position according to their birth. She said the first child is the oldest, then middle, and then the youngest if the parents have three children. She also demonstrated almost every parent expects more from their oldest child than others. They think the first child would be more responsible and capable. Oldest child thinks the same as his/her parent. The middle child is usually more capable than younger siblings, but he has less responsibility than his older sibling. At last, the younger one is less responsible and capable than his older sibling. In contrast, an only child can only take care of himself.
In my opinion, the most significant idea in this article is once Forer mentioned “So I’d better learn to take care of myself as much as possible.” I think this is a very hard thing if you don’t find your parents when you really need them. Sometimes our parents both work, they’re busy with their work. At that time, the only child feels alone. If he stays at home and feels sick no one is here to take care of him. He has to take care of himself and take medicine by himself. So they learn how to take care of him and they can face any kind of trouble if anytime they face. On the other hand, sometime they feel angry and lonely. As a result of loneliness, they become depressed and feel helpless.
My husband has three more siblings. They all live in Ireland. My husband and his mom and I live here. Because his siblings don’t live here, he is the one he has to do everything for our family. No one is here to help him. For this reason I think, he is more capable and successful in his life. He is more responsible compared to his cousin of his age. He knows how to handle any situation. He is always ready to face anything. Because I’m new in the U.S.A, I can’t help him enough, so he does every little thing. I think this is a problem also. Though living without siblings and doing everything by himself is a problem, he is a successful and motivated person.
Every child has a different position in their family. It also affects their way of thinking and their behaviors. I think people who have at least one sibling try to fulfill the responsibilities of him and his sibling. However, the only child has more priority and more success.

“Burnout and Recovery”
Do you know what “Burnout” is? Have you ever experienced “Burnout”? How did you “Recover” from it? In general, burnout means feeling tired, exhausted, frustrated, and having no passion to do anything. It could be in school, the work place, home, or with relatives. Anybody could suffer from burnout. Nowadays, it is a huge problem all over the world. We should know what ‘Burnout’ is and how to recover from it.
In class we read an article named “Preventing Burnout Signs, Causes, and Coping Strategies”. This article was based on burnout and recovery. According to this article, “Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.” In this article, we learned why people feel burnout, where people feel burnout, and how they can recover from it. People can feel burnout due to too much work, unplanned lifestyle, personality, taking drugs, etc. According to Alexandra Sifferlin sometimes doctors also feel burnout. How can you recognize burnout? If you feel everyday is a bad day and feel exhausted all the time, nothing makes you different and nothing is worthy anymore to you, this means you have burnout and as soon as possible, you should take some steps for recovery. For recovery first and most important is identify what makes you burnout? It could be your boss, your partner, no break, and too much work. If you can identify what makes you feel burnout, try to exclude this. Another most important thing is to discuss your burnout problem with your doctor. For recovery, start your day by relaxing. For example, when you wake up don’t think too much about work and don’t take stress at the start of the day, eat healthy food, do exercise, take a break from work and so on.
Comparatively, we read a book in our class, Canning, Peter. Rescue 471: A Paramedic’s stories. 1sted. New York: The Random House Publishing Group, 2000. print. He wrote about his profession, his patients, his feelings, his ups and downs in work etc. Though he was a good paramedic and did good at his work, he felt burnout because of his boss, new system, same work, not enough breaks and so on. For a moment he wanted to quit his job. But at the end, he was inspired by his student Rebecca who was very serious about her work. Not only did Rebecca inspire him, but also the EMS lectures he attended and his involvement in politics awakened him again.
Recently, I read an article by Noguchi called “Preventing Worker Burnout Can Boost The Bottom Line” from NPR radio. Three companies participated in a convention and the article published their conversation. The program was hosted by Rachel Martin. Brian Kelly, the vice president of APTIFY, a Virginia software company, said in their company long hours of work affected worker’s motivation and morale. As a result, they offered their worker’s the chance to take as many paid days off as they want, and many employees accepted this. Elliot from WIST Office took a different approach. They rotate and switch job with other employees. Some employees liked this method, and some didn’t. Pongon said a flexible schedule could reduce burnout. On the other hand, Christina Maslach suggest finding out what causes burnout and make a solution of it. It will work better.
I have an experience with burnout. When I was in 11th grade I felt burnout. In eleventh grade there was limited time but the syllabus was very big. At that time, my cousin got married also. There were so many guests and so much work in my house. Though I was only sister of my cousin, I had a lot of responsibilities. I had to fulfill my responsibilities. At the same time, the exam was knocking at my door. When everything had finished, I started to complete my syllabus. But Alas! I could not complete the syllabus in the meantime. I did bad on my practice test. I started to feel everything was finished, but my cousin helped me a lot to complete my syllabus. I worked hard and got a perfect 4 on the exam.
Nowadays life is very complicated; everyone has a lot of work to do. They have to complete it and a lot of work makes people feel burnout. At the end, my opinion about “Burnout And Recovery” is if you ever feel burnout from anything, don’t quit from it. Try to face it and solve it. The most important thing is if you see someone is facing burnout, try to help him to recover from it.

A couple of things surprised me about this profile. I was surprised about how passionate she is. She can’t see the world still she is working. She started to think about herself like others. Though she has a disability she never feel sad. She also enjoys her work. And she wants to work more hours. Personally, I don’t think I would be able to be like her, but I admire her.
Materialism: Our Consuming Interest
Nowadays people worry about their appearance. They want brand new car, cloths, phone and so on. Now it became a trend to buy branded things. People think materialism is everything. If any student passes the 5th grade, he also wants the latest phone or game or anything. Now people spend more money on buying goods compared to the past.
According to the article,” Materialism: Our Consuming Interest” by Linda Kulman, from the twentieth century America has lead consumption. People spent 70 percent of their income to acquiring goods. Before 2000, each American family have one car and they were pretty comfortable with one car. But nowadays, every family needs more than one car. Day by day people’s demands are increasing very rapidly. People know materialism is their right of freedom and individualism. They want to buy luxury things, branded clothes, the latest car, labeled appearance and so on.
In my opinion, the most significant idea in this article is, once Kulman stated “ …Americans wear their wealth on their sleeve. Labels no longer hid discreetly inside their collar.” By this sentences the author very clearly tells us how people thinks about their outfits. They want every expensive things for them. They thinks brands and expensive appearance is every thing for them. They care about luxury life not about their future. They don’t care about how much their income is and how much they are spending money to buy things. Before people maintained the balance of income and spending. But in our society people are busy to buying expensive goods. They spend 70 percent of their income to buy less important things. It makes them happy.
I do a part time job. In my work place I have some co-workers. Most of them are students. When I talk to them, they tell me they are working for buying things for themselves. I mean some of my co-workers work for their living or want to support their family. They really need the job. But some of them are working because they want to buy the latest phone, which will be coming next month or they want Michael Kors bag or Gucci watch. They saw on tv show their favorite actor wear this shirt, so they want the same shirt. They want what they see.Their parent will not give them so they want to earn money to buy those stuff.
Yesterday, I was returning home from my class. I was waiting for the bus in the bus stand. It was a rainy day. I saw an acquaintance who was cursing the rain because the rain damaged his expensive trainer. He took a plastic bag and wrapped his shoes. However, I know he is not a very rich person. Some of my relative help him by giving him money. He is pretty unable to feed his family. But he has this expensive pair of shoes. Maybe, he worked so hard for buy those shoe. Not only rich people wear the branded clothes, but also low income people try to buy expensive goods. Every one wants branded appearance, no matter if he can afford it or not.
In conclusion, I will say people do what they see. If they see their friend or favorite person wear something, they also want to buy this. Now everything is about materialism. People give much attention and importance over their appearance.
