Personal Narrative: Bodily-Kinesthetics

Well to begin with there is a lot of intelligence that I can cut out of the list due to the fact that I haven’t experienced any excellence in that particular field, or perhaps I haven’t triggered the outflow of knowledge quite yet. The intelligences that I feel I do not display begins with musical intelligence. As a child, I was never very interested in music ever since third grade we had a choice of whether we wanted to go into band, choir, or “Sound Safari.” I chose sound safari which basically was creating music from everyday objects. We never read sheet music or played any authentic instruments. Since then I’ve tried learning the French Horn, the piano, even the guitar only to find that I fall flat on my face. Next I do not believe

Voices in my head are not whispering, “Yeah, we like that! Let’s see more of that!” I see it as, “This is a sunset. Other people seem to enjoy all of the colors in the sky, I suppose it is colorful.” Bodily-kinesthetics is not one of my strong suits either. Some people like getting their hands dirty and their faces covered in mud, while others prefer a vigorous yet civilized hand wash. Of course, based on my biased tone, I prefer the latter. Now of course, bodily-kinesthetic people aren’t all excessively athletic. If we were to focus on the unison of mind and body, which is required in specific jobs such as a professional brain surgeon, then I believe I still do not excel. Unfortunately, I am known as a bit of a klutz. Constantly at work I am dropping glasses and plates on accident, I walk into people in the hallways, I even spilled coffee on a government official who stopped by the restaurant. Needless to say I feel very disconnected with my body, therefore this may be one of the intelligences that I am severely lacking. Now a few of the intelligences that I know that I am not terrible at everything I attempt! An example of an intelligence where I excel in would be the logical and

Well where exactly do hormones come from? How about metabolism? Or reproduction? Well these functions of our bodies, as well as numerous other functions, are produced by a system called the Endocrine System. On the outside of the body the endocrine system appears as a collection of glands that makes up the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovaries (if you belong to the female kind), and the testicles (if you are male). Now this appears to be a complex system but it can be broken into bits to be understood easily. To begin the word, “endocrine,” comes from two Greek words the first of which being, “Endo,” meaning within and, “crinis,” meaning to secrete. What a gland generally does is it will remove substances from its specific location, process them, then secretes a new chemical to be used somewhere else in the body. This secretion is what we call hormones and these hormones are typically constantly circulating through the body. Even though these hormones are constantly flowing around the body, though each hormone is used to target a certain organ or tissue. If the body is in need the endocrine system can receive extra hormones from organs that have a secondary endocrine function. For example, the kidney may secrete erythropoietin, which can be used to create anemia to benefit weaker bone marrow. A high or
