It was very minimal electric shock waves that were sent to my back as a stimulus. This research did not give me movement, but what it did do was relieve my unbearable pain I was in at the time. This research however did help to show, I actually had a mass inside of my spinal cord, which was keeping me from moving. The surgery was immediate to remove to mass and after several months of physical therapy, I began to walk again. I do believe that research is necessary sometimes to benefit people when everything else fails. It changed my opinion of what really matters and you should never take for granted what makes you happy in your life. I had to share this with you all.

Research that Benefits Children and Families—Uplifting Stories

My Personal Research Journey
The chosen topic for the simulation I chose was resilience in children. Positive relationships and environments that support healthy cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development provide the foundation for young children to develop the resources and skills they need, to cope and adapt to any types of misfortune. All young people have the capacity for positive development, resilience research should never be used to justify social and political inaction on the grounds that, but somehow, most kids make it. In the face of growing global poverty, abuse, violence, and other threats to children’s development, somehow children can no longer depend on the luck of the draw (NAEYC, 2011).
As we are learning, young people are resilient, but they are not indestructible. My childhood growing up had lot negativity for me. My resilience was to not let it overcome me. I wanted to have a positive life. I had very positive teachers in my life who gave me the support; I was not getting at home. How children become resilient in the face of adversity, is a subject, I would like to explore (NAEYC, 2011).
