In the short passage by Kierstin Koppel titled “Humanizing Morticians,” she uses a lot of figurative language to give a mortician a wonderful personality. Koppel’s first sentence even depicts a very vivid scene, “The corpse lies bare under a white sheet waiting to be dissected and reconstructed through a series of surgical procedures” (Koppel). This sentence does not only describe an interesting scene, but it also grabs the reader’s attention by explaining what the passage is going to be about. Later, Koppel begins to explain her own point of view when it comes to being a mortician.

Therefore, I sent in a job application and I have now been employed there since August.

I woke up every morning before dawn to work a full day in agriculture and ended the day singing with kids from the hostel. The work was hard and exhausting, however at the end of our two weeks, I cried. Not for the work, but for the people whom I had worked with. We could barely speak to one another, but created a relationship out of hugs, smiles, and laughs. I learned a great deal about myself, about the strength I had and what I was capable of.
My experiences have taught me the importance of giving back and have instilled a sense of empathy and compassion in

The funeral service has greatly changed over the past few decades. While some funeral homes may have thought these changes would come and go, most of them were here to stay. These changes have brought about new values, preferences, and opinions in funeral service. According to the NFDA, these changes included: personalization, advanced funeral planning, technology, green funerals, cremation, and the difference in funeral directors. Instead of the funeral service being traditional, meaning visitation following a service and burial, many people that come through the doors of the funeral home want to have an adaptive funeral service.
I learned a lot from this experience and discovered this passion for helping people. Over time I was able to build relationships with the people in this community and that will forever have a huge impact on my
Making a difference I started my health care career as a nursing assistant at the young age of 16 years-old perusing the dream of one day becoming a nurse. At that time, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into and what it meant to be in the health care. I have been able to touch and impact so many different people’s lives throughout the last 6 years from patients and residents to their family members. Sometimes not even realizing that I was changing someone’s life. Although I’ve helped hundreds of people there is one person that will I will always remember.
