Assignment # 10.. The Journey

One morning I woke up in a cabin. For a second i was like where am I? I was on the top floor, in the bedroom. When i walk to go look out the window, there was snow everywhere. The window was on the left side of the room. The bed that I was sleeping on, it was so comfortable. I didn't want to wake up. It felt like I was in a dream! I went down the stairs, it felt so warm cause of the fireplace. i went into the kitchen to make hot chocolate, so I can sit by the fire. As i was look around there paintings of nature on the walls. This cabin is so pretty, I don't ever want to leave!!


As I was walking out the front door, there was a beautifully pasture!!! As I was walk i heard animal calls, they were birds. The smell was like fresh air. The view was so pretty as I was looking around. There was so many different colors like blue, red , green, yellow,and purple. I just wanted to stay there all day!!!

I came up to a mountain, it was really big. I stated to climb it. As i was going up there different animals like deer, elk, bears, snakes. I saw a lot elk running through the trees, it was amazing. I kept going up there were bear trackes, I got a little scared but I knew that I would be find because the trackes were old. The smell was like pine cones. finally I got to the top, the view was like nothing that you see everyday.

On the top of the mountain there something spiritual. It was a stone with pictures on it. I think it was made from people a very LONG time ago. It had on it hunters hunting animals. The way they drew on it was soo amazing. As I was looking at it I was thinking, What did they use to draw on the stone? I want to take it and show my friends what i had found but i knew that i couldn't because it was just something that you can take, its was too spiritual  to the land and who had made it.

Assignment#9: Child Abuse

Child abuse is more than bruises and broken bones. While physical abuse might be the most visible sign, other types of abuse, such as emotional abuse or child neglect, also leave deep, long lasting scars, sexual abuse. Some signs of child abuse are subtler than others. However, by learning common types of abuse and what you can do, you can make a huge difference in a child’s life. The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal from their abuse and not perpetuate the cycle. Learn the signs and symptoms of child abuse and help break the cycle, finding out where to get help for the children and their caregivers.

If you can’t trust your parents, who can you trust? Abuse by a primary caregiver damages the most fundamental relationship as a child—that you will safely, reliably get your physical and emotional needs met by the person who is responsible for your care. Without this base, it is very difficult to learn to trust people or know who is trustworthy. This can lead to difficulty maintaining relationships due to fear of being controlled or abused. It can also lead to unhealthy relationships because the adult doesn’t know. What a good relationship is?

If you’ve been told over and over again as a child that you are stupid or no good, it is very difficult to overcome these core feelings. You may experience them as reality. Adults may not strive for more education, or settle for a job that may not pay enough, because they don’t believe they can do it or are worth more. Sexual abuse survivors, with the stigma and shame surrounding the abuse, often especially struggle with a feeling of being damaged. 

Child neglect a very common type of child abuse is a pattern of failing to provide for a child's basic needs, whether it be adequate food, clothing, hygiene, or supervision. Child neglect is not always easy to spot. Sometimes, a parent might become physically or mentally unable to care for a child, such as with a serious injury, untreated depression. Other times, alcohol or drug abuse may seriously impair judgment and the ability to keep a child safe.
