Straight Talk Live (I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Is Gone-Future Progress)

The sunny skies above are giving a beautiful passage to the calling of spring in New York, the moon is in the sector of Aquarius, and its spiritual enlightenment.
 
Monday, I had the first glimpse of my forwarding steps to the beginning of my future. I had my hair analyzed for recreational drug usage and then followed up with a mouth swab drug screen, I had my ten fingers dipped in ink and pressed for any past criminal activity, my photo and my passport photo taken to give me greater access to walk the grounds during student employment. Yesterday, I submitted to a police check for America and for Santo Domingo, since I have dual citizenship.  
 
I now have total clearance for the future progress; however, there was one potential deterrence I had to explain.  
 
My mother or my grann never believed in vaccinations due to my culture and for religious purposes, therefore, I have never been vaccinated in my childhood or adolescence years; I had to track down my immunization certificate and the signed medical waiver she signed at each doctor visit once I became under her guardianship, it was tormenting with much aggravation.    
 
I had to eventually contact my grann in Haiti, we spoke briefly, her first question, did I need money, and she will call me back, she was seeing patients, she did direct me to the ministère de la santé et de la population in Haiti, a place where stored medial information may assist me with information I so desperately needed. I held my cell phone so long from being on hold after subjected to various other numbers to press.  
 
My cell phone literally became hot in my hand… then the langue barrier, I had to continue to switch from English to French…, and to no avail, no assistance was rendered.  
 
Sax stated I sounded like a mouse he had to listen in on begging for some cheese.  
 
My Creator somehow always saves the day. Out of earthly chaos there happens to be an immunization waiver on file at my place of employment in the Human Resource Office for me being a Critical Care/Trauma Nurse in Philadelphia, I totally somehow forgot it was on file, and it was faxed…. thank goodness for the tort law during that time. I do not like setbacks or not being on time.  
 
Please take into consideration I have only gotten vaccinated for the Hepatitis B series prior to entering Nursing School for my Associate’s Degree and that was years ago, something I never did divulge to my grann, I am still not quite  forgiven for cutting my hair.  
 
The commute from Upper Eastside New York to Brooklyn was not as bad as I had assumed, however, be advised Sax was behind the wheel, and waited in his SUV in the parking-lot the entire time of my incoming Nursing Student employment process, I did shop in Brooklyn, wow what discount deals I came upon… mm.. he is such a great man to me and handsome indeed.  
 
My last classwork assignment was a PowerPoint presentation and presented in front of my preceptor and several junior students. It was based on the hypothesis of mental illness and the segregation in correlation of stigmatism(s) one must face when interacting in society.  
 
According to the Public stigma, Self-stigma, and Institutional stigma.  
 
Most people are bias and have several misconceptions of people who suffer from some of form of mental illness. The fallacies which have been termed a stigmatism are as following, these same individuals are a menace to themselves or a threat to society; when left undiagnosed or the negligence of care is a hindrance when incorporating their presence, it solidifies the thought process of society to have them nurtured to accept or deal with mandated social skills.  
 
Patients who have been diagnosed, seem to stray away from humanity more often than not, various reason is the cause, of a low feeling of self-worth, the absent of coping mechanism skill to thrive, whereas, we can continue to say, “oh that person is just having a bad day” the intellect of anyone who has a mental disorder, mind does not properly follow, in other means, there mind is like a highway with no exit in sight, its keeps firing, adrenaline and endorphins charges, and the pituitary gland is not assisting in the melatonin secretions to not withstand the two hemispheres of the brain's mind rest when at sleep, that is where the insomnia perpetrate.  
 
Have you ever inquired to a person, what are they thinking, and they respond with the vague conviction of, oh nothing. The brains never slumbers or repose, it is the organ that keeps control of every faucet from sleep, speech, or waking thoughts, and it deals with the cognitive behavior of human nature, a more inept would be the study of Sigmund Fraud, relative theories, his mind was simply brilliant. His creed will be the catalyst for my thesis I have to submit prior to graduation.  
 
The biggest concern I have is the underfunding of mental health services, there is a limited resources out there; housing, a skilled nursing care facility gravitating for people with mental disabilities.  
 
Koreans and Asians  shun upon their segment population who has mental illness, making them more prone to suffer in silence.  
 
Confronting The Issue  
 
People with mental disorders in films are more often labeled to be violent. That is one of Hollywood biggest culprit; it portrays an inaccurate picture, and give credence to how they are realistically viewed.  
 
Movements that protest against the biased decree and categorizing of the mental-ill population in the media are another resolution to amend negative thoughts and misapprehensions.  
 
In my future segment I will go into depth of The Sociopath and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This out to be real good.  
   
I must say thank you to that junior class for being so understanding during my nervous moment and for what seems like I was repeating my theories grabbing at my notes… and thank you all for grading my PowerPoint and then the Q&A session as an A+… you guys I extend nothing but much love and respect to you all, knowing each one of you will have to make that presentational stand in front of your upcoming, with countless questions, hoping you can directly answer them accordingly and to my Preceptor who gave me a B+.. do you not believe in being nervous, however, thank you for the after class inspiration, speech, advising me it will get much easier when professional authority and compassion benefits with the sense of good moral judgment.
 
I will place this on my website for my classmates to view under poem of the day.  
 
And That Is Another Straight Talk Live For You  
 
Be true to yourself and stay rooted even in the mist of that gust of wind

Author's Note
I have waited for this particular moment in my lifetime, whereas, the rewards of perseverance tastes so much sweeter than the thoughts imagined. Next week, I will be on my way as an Undergraduate Student Nurse , however, no more classroom, until April 22, 2021. I will finally be out in the field, It will be for eight hours on Mondays, getting my feet wet per say. Thank goodness I have a great staff and a darn good Nurse Supervisor.. Nevertheless, I will still be on call to be reached by phone or email.. unfortunately, that will never change
