Day 1: Fertilisation My name is Darren, I’m a sperm. Yep. Thousands of cellular career choices and I choose to be a sperm (Or the scientific name, Spermatozoid). Not even the full 46 chromosomes, only a mere 23 chromosomes. Wherever you are mom, dad, don’t be too disappointed, after all I might meet the love of my life. (Or die horribly) Today my journey begins, I’m not really sure what happens, but I hope this egg isn’t too far away. So far this seems like a very un organized process, I can’t tell where I’m really going, but geez, I’m already exhausted. I’m also being pushed a lot, I know there's millions of sperm, but still, would it kill you to go around me?! The cervix isn’t that small! It feels like it’s been absolutely ages and literally there have been loads annoyances! It was this acidic fluid, and from what I can see, most of the other sperm died in the vagina from this. I expected a friendlier welcome. Thankfully there’s not a lot of But then, finally I …show more content…

So the doctor confirmed some things, firstly, yes I am going to be born prematurely, but not dangerously so and secondly music is not making me smarter so my mom has finally stopped playing that awful music! The doctor asked my mom some questions today. Apparently the ultrasound showed that I have a very small head, I’m extremely small and have somewhat wide-set eyes. My mom told the doctor that she’s been drinking lately and the doctor said that I might have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Apparently it’s a lifelong condition, and I will most likely have some learning disabilities. This has been really upsetting, but the doctor said that it’s probably not too severe. If my mom has me do speech therapy and takes me to the doctor often to monitor me, then it probably won’t affect me too much. Also the doctor is going to prescribe medicines to help with some of the symptoms like hyperactivity and anxiety. I’m not really sure what to think about

Speech-Language Pathology: A Personal Statement

740 Words | 3 Pages

I first discovered speech-language pathology back when I was in high school, in a very unexpected way. I was talking with my grandmother, who had told me she received her Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology after my father was born. My father has had hearing aids since the age of five, and had to continuously attend speech therapy while growing up. My grandmother told me stories of how she would sit with my father every night, away from his six other siblings, with the lights off and talk to him. She would say words to him, which he would then have to repeat back to her, without relying on his normal trick of reading lips.

583 Words | 3 Pages

After all, we become so attached to someone just for death to move in and capture its next victim. For many of us there is not a given time, while for some, there is an estimation of when it will come. Frequently, however, death tends to be thrown at us like a curveball.
