My parents are happily married, and I have 9 three sisters. I grew up with tons of love and no 10 trauma. 11 I always like to say that in my story because 12 this disease does not discriminate. 13 I struggled in school because of having ADHD. 14 My mom did not want to put me on medication, but 15 I quickly self-medicated. I was drinking, and 16 smoking marijuana, almost every day on the weekends. 17 I didn't see a problem with it. It was just weed 18 and alcohol. 19 I dropped out of high school in 20 eleventh grade and went to beauty school. 21 I continued to drink and smoke, and I didn't see a 22 problem with it. 23 People would tell me that I drank too much. 24 Every time I drank, it was to black out or 25 pass out, but, I still didn't see a problem. 5 1 I met a boyfriend at 18. He was using 2 pain killers. I tried them and it was love at first 3 try. I quickly became addicted. My body needed it 4 and I couldn't live without it. I was addicted from 5 that first time. 6 I ran out of money quickly, and he turned me 7 on to heroin because it was cheaper and easier to 8 get. 9 My parents came to me and told me I needed to 10 go away and get help. 11 That was my first experience with the detox. 12 The detox, they told me that I was able to go 13 to inpatient, but only for two weeks, because that's 14 all my insurance would cover. It just wasn't 15 enough. I got out and I started using right away. 16 I met another guy, going to the rooms of 17 Narcotics Anonymous, and at that point, I thought 18 that maybe I wanted to change, and maybe I wanted to 19 do the right thing, but, a part of me just still 20 didn't have enough treatment in me, didn't have 21 enough time away from the drug. And, he started 22 using, and, quickly, I just followed down that same 23 path again. 24 He was an IV user, and I quickly realized how 25 much more high you can get if you injected it 6 1 instead of sniffing it; and that's what happened. 2 My parents, you know, begged me to stop, and 3 begged me to get into treatment. 4 And a couple of times I said yes, and I would 5 go, but, my insurance would run out, and I'd have to 6 leave. Or, they've told me that I couldn't get in, 7 'cause I had to go to outpatient and fail first. 8 And, definitely, outpatient at that point was 9 not an option for me. I needed help. I needed to 10 be away, and I needed to be away for a long time. 11 I would just continue to go back out and 12 I continued to use, and, eventually, the money ran 13 out. My parents couldn't have me live in the house 14 anymore. 15 Like I said, I have three sisters that I was 16 destroying. They would watch me walk around like a 17 zombie. 18 And, I went and stayed in my car, with my 19 boyfriend. And, we didn't have anymore money, so we 20 decided to rob someone. 21 This is not something that I would ever have 22 done if I wasn't addicted to heroin and so sick, 23 that I just didn't know how else to get what 24 I needed. 25 I had gotten arrested. That was on 7 1 October 4, 2010. And, I was sent to Nassau County 2 Jail. 3 I was arraigned for $120,000, and now I was 4 sitting in a jail cell, and didn't know how my life 5 had gotten to where it was, and how I was ever gonna 6 come out of where I was. 7 On October 5, 2010, I got called down in 8 Nassau County Jail, and I was told that my boyfriend 9 had committed suicide. 10 He had been struggling for 10 years with 11 heroin. He's tried to get clean, and he just 12 couldn't do it. He had tried to get into treatment 13 a couple of times, and he was denied treatment. 14 And, we ended up in that cell, and he was 15 withdrawing, and I guess he found no better way than 16 to just end it. 17 So now I was sitting in jail, with $120,000 18 bail. My boyfriend was now dead, and I just -- 19 I didn't know what to do. 20 And my dad came, and my grandfather bailed me 21 out of jail. 22 I still got out of jail and could not get 23 into treatment. The judge saw it as two separate 24 issues: a robbery, and a drug addict. 25 That, they didn't see the reason that I did 8 1 the robbery was because I was addicted to drugs. 2 They completely separated it. 3 And, I had to pay a lot of money to get into 4 treatment. I went to a 28-day program, and I got 5 out. 6 And in that 28-day program, something clicked 7 to me, you know, I really needed to change my life 8 because, if I didn't, I was gonna die. 9 And, I got out, and for a week I was using. 10 And while I was in treatment, my the little 11 sister, she was 12 years old, she wrote me a letter: 12 I just want my sister back. Like, please. 13 And, uhm -- she -- when I got out, that kept 14 playing in my head, over and over again. 15 And at that point I said: I need to go away, 16 and I need to go away for a long time. I really 17 need to change. 18 And I went to my dad and I told him: I'm 19 ready to go, and I need to go, and I need to be away 20 for a very long time. 21 And, I went to Daytop for nine months, and 22 that's when my journey started. 23 I just really -- I was willing to do anything 24 I had to, to live. I didn't want to die. 25 And I did. I got enrolled in school. I went 9 1 to a sober house out east.

  • Ken Kesey One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1
    Ken Kesey one flew over the cuckoo’s nest “YOU FEEL THIS BOOK ALONG YOUR SPINE. ...” —Kansas City Star Tired of weeding peas at a penal farm, the tough, freewheeling McMurphy feigns insanity for a chance at the softer life of a mental institution. But he gets more than he’s bargained for, much more. He is committed to the care of Big Nurse—a full-breasted, stiff-gaited tyrant who rules over her charges with chilling authority. Her ward is a citadel of discipline. Strong-arm orderlies stand ready to quell even the feeblest insurrection. Her patients long ago gave up the struggle to assert themselves. Cowed, docile, they have surrendered completely to her unbridled authority. Now, into their ranks charges McMurphy. The gambling Irishman sees at once what Big Nurse’s game is. Appalled by the timidity of his fellow patients, he begins his one man campaign to render her powerless. First in fun, and then in dire earnestness, he sets out to create havoc on her well-run ward ... to make the gray halls ring with laughter, and anger, and life. 1 Ken Kesey one flew over the cuckoo’s nest one flew over the cuckoo’s nest by KEN KESEY 2 Ken Kesey one flew over the cuckoo’s nest To Vik Lovell who told me dragons did not exist, then led me to their lairs 3 Ken Kesey one flew over the cuckoo’s nest COPYRIGHT © 1962 BY KEN KESEY All rights reserved.

David Canton: And, with no possible reference to Christianity proper for between the Christianity of this land and the Christianity of Christ. David Canton: I recognize the widest possible difference so wide that to receive the one as good pure and holy is up necessity to reject the other is bad corrupt and wicked.

  • Human Soul 1
    Running head: HUMAN SOUL 1 Exploring the Concept of the Human Soul from a Religious, Psychological, and Neuro-Scientific Perspective Jenna M. Cleversley Medaille College Author Note Jenna M. Cleversley, Department of Psychology, Medaille College. Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Jenna M. Cleversley, Department of Psychology, Medaille College, 18 Agassiz Circle, Buffalo NY 14214. Email: [email protected] HUMAN SOUL 2 Abstract This paper focuses on one of the dissimilarities between science and religion. The main objective of this paper is to explore the different perspectives on the human soul from Christian, Buddhist, Psychological, and neuro-scientific perspectives. By the end of this paper one will have a greater understanding on the concept of the human soul and potentially develop his or her own perspective in greater detail. Keywords: religion, spirituality, psychology, neuroscience, human soul HUMAN SOUL 3 Introduction The human soul is a controversial topic that is defined by several different perspectives. Since the soul is an immeasurable material, it is impossible to prove whether or not the soul actually exists. However, many people define their own viewpoints on the soul and argue they have indeed figured out the answer. This topic provides an abstract viewpoint on the concept of life, who we are as individuals, and what our purpose is on this earth. The human soul is a concept that has been accepted for a long period of time; however, the perspective on the human soul has evolved. Generally speaking, the human soul is the unphysical part of the human. The disciplines discussed in the paper (religion, psychology, & neuroscience) use different terms to describe the human soul but they are all referring to the same general concept.
