There was a time period were I was very wealthy, were I can get mostly everything I wanted. My family and I would go to Vegas every single weekend and when it came to my birthday we would go to chucky cheese but not just any chucky cheese, we would go to Beverly Hills chucky cheese. Well one day all of that went down hill, my father got obsessed in buying any random shit from the store that we didn’t even need he would always say “we’ll need this one day” but that one day never came. It was a hot summer day when our payment of our house but now we couldn’t even pay because we ran out of money just because my dad, but I wouldn’t blame him only because I would buy some random game that wasn’t even worth buy it and I didn’t play it all. Well there was only 3 more days to pay or the police would come and I panicked and I call my mom and dad over so I can talk to them. I tell them in a very confident tone “um, so I’ve been thinking why don’t we steel the bank down the block by olive garden, you the place we used to eat in very special days?” I was scared to what they would say but they say what I wanted them to say “well that’s our only choice to do son since that’s the fastest thing to do.” That reply satisfied my life.

The next day we go very early because we didn’t want anybody to hurt in any way. My dad knows a guy who can give us some bulletproof vests and a rifle and a handgun. “I’m very nervous” said my mom in a scared tone. “C’mon mom we can do this just don’t bother with vault cause they have a chemical where it throws blue ink at your face so just stick with the tellers.” “Ok son lets do this, are you ready? What about you Hun?” “Yes mom I’m ready…” “I’m also ready, lets get this over with…” we go in side and there are no people but the manager and a co-worker, so that was the best moment to get in. my dad and I scream out “put your hands up and get on the floor” we tell the police inside to drop the gun and give it to me. He failed to do so, so I shoot him in the leg and drops down to the floor he quickly tries to shoot me but I stopped him and shot him in the head and all you see is the brain on the wall dropping down slowly. My mom told me to go and take the money, and I put on my gloves on and I go to the tellers, they only had 400,000 dollars which didn’t fill us up so we decide to go to the vault and we take 3.5 million dollars, I didn’t know why they had so much money but then 5 min. later we left the place and then the bus guy who would collect the money comes and see’s the dead guy on the floor, he decides to call the police but before he did that my dad gets his rifle and shoots him right in the heart. My mom and my dad said something at the same time “ lets hide the bodies and leave but before we did that we hear a loud bang and it was the co-worker who we forgot all about so we take her also and putted them into a dumpster.

It’s been 3 years since that happened and we’re all gone from LA and we went to good old Washington, which my mom had a dream living there. My dad on the other he has changed a lot, now he has a job and finally got the hang of taking care of the money and how to use it and how to buy the right things we needed. “Hi son do you remember what happened 3 years ago?” “How can I not remember that, that was the best day of my life, I had so much fun except those people we killed.” “Yes I guess it was fun.”
Now it’s been 10 years since that happened and now we’re wealthier than the richest man in Washington. Why, would you ask? Its simple, my dad created the anti theft alarm for cars and stores and even a bank. He got the idea of this 2 years ago when he said “I’m going to create this so no other dumbass would do the same shit we did” “I agree dad you should create this” “yes Hun we would make a very good investment.” Well it was a great success and he made 1.2 trillion dollars.

I told my dad that I wanted to help the poor and people who don’t have enough money to even survive one day and he gave me a positive answer “yes son go ahead here’s 2 million dollars, go do a good thing with that money.” “Thank you dad I love you” “I love too son.” The very next day I went out to the streets and gave every homeless person 100 dollars and made an organization of helping the poor a gave the rest that I have and gave everyone in Africa food and supplies to survive. That lasted 5 years and the closing of my organization I made a speech and it went like this “hi kids, family and parents, I here to say that I’m very happy to what happen a few years ago when I started all of this. All of you here are maybe asking your, why did he do this? Well I did this because I went through this when I was younger and me and my family were starving and we had to survive, umm I prefer you to read my book I made called “my survival story” thank you for time and good bye. So my life has changed and my dad and my mom are busy going around the world helping people while I stay here and try to survive another day like anybody would do.

    Growing up, it had always been just my mother and me. My biological father abandoned me at birth and hadn’t been heard from since. The sting of abandonment had me in and out of counselor’s offices for a few years, but I eventually grew to really enjoy the bond my mother and I had created. We didn’t have much money. In fact, even that would be an understatement. We were living in a trailer park, getting benefits from the state, and I learned at an early age the myth about Santa Claus because my mother couldn’t handle the guilt of trying to explain why my next door neighbors always got the presents they wanted when I didn’t. As afraid as she was of my reaction, I didn’t mind. I felt that I had everything I needed. I was close with most of my family and our trailer was comfortable and large enough to occupy the two of us. The park was essentially its own little neighborhood and all of us went to the same school, which meant I was surrounded by lots of friends. I never saw the need for money. The state provided us with Food Stamps to buy groceries, we went thrift store shopping on a regular basis that it became routine, and in the early mornings before the garbage trucks came, we’d drive around to see if anyone had thrown anything of…

    Nurture can affect one individual success because depending on what enviroment you grow up in you will either have a lot of privialge or be not as privalaged. In “ Money Changes the Way we Think and Behave” author Caolyn Gregoire explains how when you are raised with more money you are less empathetic to others: “ Several Studies have shown that wealth may be at odds with empathy and comassion”( Gregoire, 6). The text portrays the idea that the wealthy people dont feel for the lower class. This supports the theory that external factors play a vital role in a persons fututre because wealthy grow up with so much money they can symppathize eiht the less fortunate. The conclusion that can be drawn is that external factors such as having a great…

    I remember the night my dad left like it was yesterday, and I don’t think I will ever forget. I don’t remember what exactly it was that made him so mad but I’m sure my sister and I were fighting like sisters do. My only really vivid memory of that night was my dad hitting me so hard he left bruise marks on my backside. I could hear my mom and dad fighting so I knew my mom saved me again. Then my dad got really mad at her and he grabbed her by the shoulders and shoved her into the pantry door so hard that both my mom and the pantry door came crashing to the floor. When I got up for school the next morning my dad was gone. Some children aren’t as lucky though and Child Protective Services has to remove them from a bad situation.…

    Every weekend when a thing calmed down and there wasn’t much left to do around the house my father and I would go for a car ride. He lived in Hereford, MD, which is very country with a ton of land, and he would drive all around the windy roads and talk to me about life and how I need to work hard to get to where I want to be in life. After everything he would always end his rants with, “ Felicia you don’t understand now, but you will when you get older.” I hated hearing that. I always knew that I understood him now, but I really didn’t.…

    March of 2014 changed my life. I had spoken to my father once, a few weeks before, for the first time in 14 years; not that I cared. He had explained how it wasn’t entirely his fault he hadn’t been around, and that I’d see him soon. I didn’t think he meant that. A few months after that I moved in with him. I’ve lived there since. It has been a roller coaster of emotions, issues, and misunderstandings.…

    When I first came to the United States my whole life changed completely. I came from a very poor town where basic needs are privileges and even though I didn’t know the language, the culture, and the people. I was not scared about my new life, my new beginning. When my mom and I got here my dad rented a house which was in very bad conditions. At that time we didn’t have anything, we slept on the floor for almost a month, we didn’t have any furniture and not even a car to go buy groceries.

    For the past month I have saved up for the trip down to Arizona. Once the time finally came, I have reached $200.

    I admire the philosophy of King Whitney Jr.; he believes change has a considerable impact on the human mind. He quotes, “To the fearful it is threatening, it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging, it means things may get better and to the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better,” (Laura Moncur’s Quotes of the Da.y). How people react to change depends on their personality and the types of change that they may encounter.…
