The night that resulted in my conduct violation started out as a typical Friday evening; it was the weekend before spring break and some friends and I were hanging out on my dorm floor watching TV in the lounge and talking amongst ourselves. It was then that another guy from the floor came to the lounge and asked who was coming to bottomless at Fieldhouse. A few people raised their hand, but my brother and I were hesitant, which prompted some of our friends to quite literally beg us to come. I eventually give in and agree to tag along, though my brother decided to stay behind, and we all set off to get ready for the evening. Once everyone was ready, we set out on the trek from Rollins to Fieldhouse, the group consisting of about 5 guys and 8 girls, all dressed in our Sunday best and hoping to have a good time. As we arrived at Broadway and waited for the crosswalk to signal that we could cross the street and go to the bar, we began to space out the guys in our group between girls, because large groups of guys are more likely to have someone get denied, and when the …show more content…
It was also scary for me to think what could have happened if A) my friend hadn’t been there or B) he hadn’t been the type of guy to stick with me and flag down help, because if I had been alone and suffered and injury like that, who knows how long I would have lain there bleeding before someone found me, or if I would be found alive at all. As an engineering student, my career goals are contingent on my mind, so the idea that one poor choice could put those in question is something that will stick with me for years to come, because everyone likes to have fun, but no one wants to be paying for that fun for the rest of their lives, always wondering “what
This case involved a public high school student, Matthew Fraser who gave a speech nominating another student for a student elective office. The speech was given at an assembly during school as a part of a school-sponsored educational program in self-government. While giving the speech, Fraser referred to his candidate in what the school board called "elaborate, graphic, and explicit metaphor." After his speech, the assistant principal told Fraser that the school considered the speech a violation of the school's "disruptive-conduct rule." This prohibited conduct that interfered with the educational process, including obscene, profane language or gestures. After Fraser admitted he intentionally had used sexual innuendo in the speech, he was told that he would be suspended from school for three days, and his name would be removed from the list of the speakers at the graduation exercises.
Now I know that Patrick's experience was a thousand times more serious than mine, but I could definitely relate. This horrible experience left his memory bewildered and I could only wonder how it would feel to not be aware of your surroundings to the extent of his, or to not really comprehend what really happened that left him in that state of mind. He did not even understand how he got shot, thinking that he got shot in the hospital.That is astounding! After reading more about the Columbine incident, I came across a very inspiring quote by Patrick.“When I fell out the window, I knew somebody would catch me. That's what I need to tell you: that I knew the loving world was there all the time.” This quote speaks a thousand words to me, it shows that even though he feel out the window, he knew that there was a world who cared about him and a world who loved him. Despite the fact that this quote was intended for Patrick's scenario, it relates to a lot of other people including me. Sometimes I fall and I do not really think about all the people, the world of people who are out there to catch me and to help me come back
... made the story go in my favor when I should have called earlier to tell them that I would arrive late because of what happened. Instead, I waited for them to call me on my way up. All of the effort I had put into the past three months at work are now diminished by my one ignorant action of not calling and lying when I arrived. I could have simplified the situation by just calling in when I knew I would be late and come clean up front, instead, I blew the whole situation out of proportion and tried to make myself seem like a victim. I have lost the trust of my peers and superiors that were involved.
Since he had so much downtime he had added his name to a volunteer list of emergency ambulance calls. Gary and his wife had lived in very small prairie town in the middle of of a farm country. With one hamy-down ambulance that the city had given them since they had bought new ones. They had answered calls to car accidents ,farming accidents,gun accidents,poisonings,and a very good amount of heart attacks. He would usually go alone or sometimes with another man who had also volunteered to answer emergency ambulance calls. He recalls that he has seen at least a dozen heart attack victims in the last year. Sometimes the distance were so long that he could not make it. If he did they had to wait at most an hour or maybe longer for the flight for life helicopter. One day he can remember was one day a woman called and said” quick it's my Harvey he is having chest pains again”. He got in the car should of got there in twenty minutes but he got there fourteen by driving like a crazy person. Then saw the man with a weird smile as if trying to say sorry for the difficulty. The wife had also gave him a look like thank god you're here save him please the gray look on him was bad. When he tried to put him on his back he jolted for some reason as if he was getting hit by electricity became stiff and fell on the ground. He told the wife to call for the chopper. Then bent
When violation occurs by an individual or an organization on campus, they will receive notification that they have an intake meeting. At this meeting, the student is able to discuss the incident, to be informed of their rights throughout the process, and to discuss the next steps of the process. At this meeting, the party and the representative of the Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct or Housing will either come to an Administrative Agreement to resolve the case or the party will appeal to the University Judicial Council.
It was about 1:30am and the only people in the Emergency Waiting Room were my mother and I and a couple that looked like they had been there for a while. I sat there staring at the walls that resembled a jail cell for what felt like hours. And that was the particular moment that I realized the channel had been switched forever. I had gone from a girl who had never lost a loved one to a girl who had almost lost her only sister. All I could think of was all of the “what ifs?” What if I had already gone to bed and no one in my family woke up to the answering machine? What if that man didn’t work a late night and someone else with bad intentions got to her first? What if she had been driving a little faster and got knocked unconscious when that deer jumped in front of her car? What if she never woke
someone had the decency to call an ambulance. I would have probably not known what to think if I was
While in nursing school I was eager to get in on “action”, I remember just wanting to do something nursing and was always volunteering for things. I would walk the floor on the med surge unit and look for anything interesting. Walking by a patient’s room I seen a gentleman sitting up on the side of his bed looking uncomfortable. I asked nursing question that I knew to ask and got the man help from a nurse who placed the patient on pulse ox and did vital signs. All while my anxiety and adrenaline are at an all-time high while watching this take place, hoping to be able to get in on the action. Within a few minutes rapid response team was called in. The patient was there all alone. The patient was intubated, labs drawn, and bagged. After the patient was put to sleep in the room the rapid response team person allowed me to bag the patient. I was having palpitations of my own and thinking how am I supposed to keep the breaths right on this patient when I couldn’t keep up with my
One of my friends called Kendrick fall off a clef and he was hanging on to a branch, with one hand and I was the only one who was able to help because, his mom and dad were still un-packing and he was playing with a ball that I gave to him in his birthday as a joke. At first, I thought he was just joking but, he stayed on for a long time and then I knew that it wasn't a joke so, I had to go to him and pick him up. I was scared to pick him up because, it was very risky for me and him because if I managed to fail to get him back to his feet, then he will fall, or if I did something wrong I would fall with him. Lucky his dad saw me trying to help him and he ran after me. Before, he got to me, I manage to get him to touch his stomach in the floor, he was also bigger and heavier than me so it was hard but his father held my back so than I pulled and I was scared if I would loss grip.... A few minutes I closed my eyes, my heart rushing, blood popping through my vines, I felt I was about to have a heart attack, pieces of me imaged I would lose a friend. When I opened my eyes, I saw him crying he lost the ball. I touched my eyes with my hands. I felt tears rushing though my cheeks and Kendrick's dad was glad that he was still
To conclude, breaking the norm inside the gym was mixed with positive and negative sanctions. I was given a displeasing gesture (negative; the look) and was rewarded with smiles and laughs (positive). I’m sure most of the members enjoyed it better than I did, simply because I was nervous, embarrassed, and almost busted my but a few times. I was rather pleased with the trainer’s reaction because he maintained control yet didn’t freak out towards my actions. I was over all satisfied with everyone’s reactions and glad that I’m not banned from the gym (I did tell my trainer after that it was a social experiment).

hurt a lot. They would have jumped in to help not only my friend Dave but also
Would you intervene if you saw a safety violation? In a recent poll of those who had seen a safety violation, only 45% intervened. What would you do?
For my norm violation I invaded people’s personal space. I went to the marketplace on a Friday night (one of the busiest nights) and sat next to people. I chose this norm violation because people have done it to me and I thought it was funny but wanted to know how other people would
It was my first week of my freshman year in college. Normally, you want to survive the first week by going to school events and meeting new people. Being the first Saturday night of the school year my new friend and I decided to go to a party in another dorm on campus. Both of us didn’t know what to expect at a college party, so we dressed up and tried to look our best. As I put my black mascara on I knew that this would be a fun night. My friend Jessica knew one of the guys that would be at this gathering because he lived in the same town that she was from. Finally, we leave our dorms and head out to our first college party. We arrived at the party and started to play cards. As the night progressed, poker was getting a little boring and staying in that dorm room wasn’t too much fun either. Abruptly, one of the guys said we should go to a freshman dorm. Everyone grabbed their belongings and headed to central campus. As we walked to central campus many of the boys were whispering about how they were going to cause a ruckus. No one was a resident of this hall, so we had to ask someone who was outside to let us in.
