Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand that recognizing PTSD in yourself is the first step towards recovery. Monitor for moments where you feel like you are re-experiencing the traumatic situation. Acknowledge feelings of avoidance. Be aware of signs of hyper-arousal.

Answer: The only way that you can recover from PTSD is to come to terms with the fact that you have this condition. Otherwise, you will not seek treatment for it in the first place. If you are not sure whether or not you have PTSD, you should look out for four main categories of PTSD-related symptoms: Intrusive re-experiencing of emotions and images related to the traumatic event. Feelings of avoidance, such as trying to avoid thinking about or talking about the negative event that occurred. Hyper-arousal and sensitivity to things like loud noises. Negative changes in thinking and feeling, such as emotional numbness, hopelessness about the future, and a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. Symptoms of re-experiencing are those that bring the sufferer back, mentally, to the traumatic event and the emotions associated with it. Flashbacks can arouse negative emotions in the person living with PTSD. These flashbacks can completely override what is currently happening and replace the present context with thoughts that bring back memories of the past trauma. Re-experiencing can include flashbacks, nightmares, and irrational thoughts usually driven by fear. Avoidance can mean intentionally blocking out specific parts of the traumatic experience. This may not just be simply forgetting the events that transpired through the ordeal but can involve an intentional blocking of details in the hopes that this can make it all go away. Avoidance can also manifest as a refusal to go to the place where the event happened, see the people that were a part of the event, or be around items that remind you of the experience. Avoidance can also manifest itself as the experience of emotional numbness; this is your mind shutting out the emotions you had during the traumatic event. Hyper-arousal symptoms are generally always present in a person with PTSD. Hyper-arousal can also be described as being constantly 'on edge.' On edge can mean being started by loud noises or sudden movements. It can also refer to emotional overreactions to minor events. Hyper-arousal can lead to difficulty sleeping. You might find that the softest noise wakes you up or that you feel like you are constantly half awake when you should be sleeping.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather all your repairing materials. Use a nail clipper to clip off any material that is sticking out or hanging off the shoe. Paint carefully over the sections that need to be repaired. Let the paint dry and add another coat if needed.

Answer: You will now need your Modge Podge and or Shoe Goo, paint, paint brushes, small container for paint, paper towels, shoe polish, shoe spray, and a nail clipper or fine-grain sandpaper. You will want to use a small paintbrush so you only paint the scratches and not the larger area around the scratches. You can use a nail clipper or fine-grain sandpaper to remove any loose material around your scratches. Nail clippers will allow you to be more precise. Sandpaper may be better for larger areas that are closer to the sole of your shoes or boots. Your faux leather shoes or boots may have small flakes around your scratches. You want to remove these loose bits so you can cover up the scratch and not just press the broken flecks down. The area should be a smooth as possible. Again, nail clippers or even tweezers will allow you to remove any material in a specific area. However, if you have a larger area that needs to be repaired, the sandpaper will be more effective at smoothing these larger areas out. With your shoes wiped down again and free of any excess material, it's time to paint the scratches. Using your small paintbrush, dip the tip into your container holding your paint. You don't need a lot. Less is better so you don't cause the paint to transfer unevenly. Paint the scratches with smooth strokes. Let it sit for a minute or so. Wipe your brush on your paper towel to remove clumped paint. Repeat the process adding another coat using a little bit of paint at a time. Keep applying new coats until you have painted the scratches to your liking. Make sure to only use a small amount of paint with each coat. If the paint globs together you will end up with bubbles of paint on your shoes. Making the affected areas look uneven.

Answer: Before you choose a treatment, it is essential that you know what scarring you are dealing with, as some treatments will only work for certain types of scars. You should always consult with a dermatologist before pursuing any treatment. The main scar categories include: Keloid scars: these are large, growth-like scars that result from a wound that heals itself too aggressively. Keloid scars may grow larger over time and sometimes even return after treatment. They are particularly common in people with darker skin tones. Hypertrophic scars: these are raised scars which are initially red or pink. They will fade on their own over time. These scars may be the result of burns or surgery and can be itchy. Atrophic scars: these scars are the deep pits that are left behind after severe acne or chicken pox. Stretch marks: these are thin, reddish-purple scars which happen because of rapid weight gain or loss. They are particularly common in pregnant women. Over time, these scars will fade and become white-ish. Contracture scars: these scars are usually caused by severe burns and may cover a large area of skin. These scars may feel tight, especially if they are around the joints, and can potentially limit body movement. Dark spots: these types of marks are not actually scars, but a type of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, usually caused by mosquito or other insect bites. You should begin treating your scar - with a suitable cream or other treatment - as soon as the wound has completely healed. Most scar treatments will be much more effective on newer scars than on old ones, thus saving you time and money down the road. Most scars will eventually disappear on their own as skin rejuvenates itself - shedding old layers of skin and growing new ones. You can help this process along by exfoliating your skin regularly in the shower, using a body scrub or a bristled brush. Avoid exfoliating over fresh scars or healing wounds. Aggressive scrubbing can slow the healing process, or even make fresh scars worse. This is one often overlooked piece of advice that can significantly reduce the appearance of scars. What many people fail to realize is that new scars are extremely sensitive to UVA rays, and exposure to sunlight can cause them to become much darker than they would be otherwise. By applying a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 to newly scarred skin, you can significantly minimize discoloration. If you have a larger scar or a scar in a location that is frequently exposed to the sun you may need to regularly apply sunscreen for up to a year while paying close attention to the scar's healing progress. Regularly massaging your legs can help to break down the fibrous tissue which causes scarring. It also improves circulation which can aid with discoloration. Your can massage legs in the shower using a body brush, or you can use your hands to rub each leg using long, circular strokes. A good concealer can do wonders to hide scars on the legs. Make sure to get a concealer that matches your skin tone, and that you blend it in well with the surrounding skin. A waterproof concealer is best if you will be exposing your legs to unpredictable weather conditions, and theatrical make-up (which is much thicker than regular make-up) can work wonders for those with particularly bad scars.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Emphasize math and science in high school. Meet with your high school counselor. Take part in extracurricular groups.

Answer:
To be well-prepared for university studies in climatology, you'll need to have a strong background in math and science subjects. In high school, sign up for and do your best to excel in the most advanced courses in chemistry, biology, physics, calculus, geography, and computer science. Counselors are excellent resources to help you decide what to study and what universities to apply to according to your interests. Set up a meeting to discuss a plan of study with your assigned counselor. Discuss how best to prepare for the rigorous math and science demands of climatology coursework at the university level. For example, ask your counselor something like, "To be accepted to a climatology program, how much math, science, and computing coursework do I need?" Look into after-school clubs and organizations that focus on science, math, and computing activities. In addition to improving your chances for college acceptance, taking part in these groups can expose you to ways in which your studies can be used outside the classroom. Ask your counselor about joining a local club sponsored by 4-H, which is an organization that provides after-school professional development programs to middle- and high-school students.
