Going to Marriage Party
I
was nine years old, very noisy and did not pay attention to anyone even my parents. Whatever I wanted the most I just did so. One day while I was playing with my dolls, I overheard that my parents were talking together about going to a marriage party, the marriage party related to one of my mother’s relative, my mother was saying that “don’t inform the children because the house is so far and if we take them they will become tired and also let them to study their lessons. When I heard it I became very happy because on my childhood I really liked to participate in different kinds of parties, I just continued playing, When my mother prepared herself for going to the wedding, I went and asked: “Mother where are you going?” Because I was so obstinate my mother hid it from me and said “my dear daughter I am just going out for shopping.” but I knew that she is going to the wedding, I said: “No mother you are telling lie, due to going out why are you wearing such beautiful clothes?” my mother said nothing, just preparing herself. I screamed mother I know that you are going to the wedding; please I want to go as well. Please take me also but my mother did not look at me and went to find her sandal I just fallowed crying, she did not do anything because she knew that I am so stubborn and never listen to her, after a lot of crying she gave me one of my beautiful dresses and I got ready. On that day at ten o’clock my parents and I left home. Journey was really joyful for me because I never had long trip before, on the way my parents were talking with each other about the wedding but I did not hear them, I was just seeing out from the window of the car different things, like people were busy on their works and did different things and saw many beautiful trees and flowers and wondering

    As I was getting dropped off and hearing my mom telling me bye I started to cry. Being really close to my mom I didn't want her to leave me there all alone. So we walked in together and she told me that I was going to be all right. My mom and my new teacher, Mrs. Fossum were having a hard time getting me to stay there. After they saw that I wouldn't stay, my mom had to stay there with me thru out that whole day. As the first day went on I was making a bunch of friends with my new classmates. When the second day came I wanted my mom to stay at school but I realized that she had to go to work. After she had left I saw a table that had some crayons and some paper on it, so I ventured over to it and stood by the seat watching to see if anyone was going to stop me from drawing. No one came so I took a seat, a piece of paper, and of course a blue coloring pencil just like the one I had at home and started to draw. When the other children saw that I was already hard at work with my drawing, which somewhat looked like a cow, they came and sat down with me. Even the child that didn’t want to leave his father noticed me and…

    After reading Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior by Amy Chua, I learned three key differences between Chinese and Western “mothering.” First, Western parents are focused on the physiological behavior of academics and self-esteem issues with their children while Chinese parents are not. Second, Western parents view their children to try their best and do not need to repay the parents, in contrast Chinese parents view their children to be permanently in debt to them. Last, Chinese parents believe that they know what is best for their children. Western parents will not over-ride their children and allow their children do what it is they desire.…

    What is the best way to bring up a child, let them choose their own activities in school and after school, let them have play dates, play videogames and let them choose their way in life, and let learn that is okay to make mistakes like the western upbringing or the Chinese way, where you decide what’s best for the child, don’t give them any spare time and demands perfect grades, which way will create a happy child. Amy Chua has chosen the second upbringing for her children, and is defending the Chinese mothers in the article “Why Chinese mothers are superior”.…

    In the article “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” (2011) Amy Chua argues the differences between Chinese mothers and Western mothers parenting styles, and how the outcomes are on two opposite ends of the spectrum. I disagree with Chua’s article on how Chinese mothers raise their children and compare it to Western mothers. All mothers have a different ways of raising their children and that there is no right or wrong on how to raise your child. I think that the only difference is the level of intensity. In the article (paragraph 1) Chua states that “Here are some things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to do: attend sleepover, have a play date, be in a school play, complaining about not being in a school play, watch TV or play computer games, choose their own extracurricular activities, get any grade less than an A, not be the number 1 student in every subject except gym and drama, play an instrument other than the piano and violin, not to play piano or violin. I think that all of these are wrong. As a child there is so much opportunity to grow and develop through the activities they had to miss out on. Playing with other children and getting involved in any sports are going to teach you lessons that you could never read from a book or study from a paper. I think that forcing your child to do something that they don’t want to do can make them unhappy. There has to be a balance between studying and fun. Sometimes Chinese parents appear to overwhelm their children with studying to the point where they don’t even know what fun is. In a conclusion to me, parenting is about loving your child for who they are, giving them the right to choose what makes them happy, the fairness opportunities is a must. This is why I believe that Chinese mothers are wrong. In the end, the child has no freedom and all of the decisions are up to the parent. They give no fair opportunities to excel at the things they may be interested in or might be good at. If your child…

    One Saturday night I awoke to a noise coming from my mothers bedroom, so I got up out my bed to see what was up. I saw my mother so I asked her what’s going on and she responded, “Baby girl I want you to do mommy a favor, I want you to go to your room and shut your door until I come and get you. I love you princess don’t never forget that.” Of course I did what my mother told me to do because I loved and I trusted her. I went to my room not knowing what was going on and I sat there until she came to get me. I waited hours and hours and she never came, I just knew she was coming. Several hours later, I hear a knock at the door. I yell her name to tell her to answer the door but she didn’t respond. Not knowing what to expect, I went to her room and didn’t see her. Her clothes where still there, things were every where, but her favorite bracelet was still on her dresser. The bracelet is what I made her when I was at school for Mother’s Day. I yelled all over the house “Mommy!” No response.…

    One day I was walking down the street in my home country heading to my grandfathers house, it was a beautiful day where the sun shone, the gentle breeze passed by me as if as if it was saying hello, and the birds were singing a lovely song, but suddenly I felt something evil approaching me and getting nearer and nearer till I started shivering because of nothing. Another moment passed and my mobile started ringing, and I got news about the death of my grandfather. While talking on the phone I was still walking on the same street and suddenly I found myself in front of his house. I then hurried up the stairs and went to see why that happened I asked and my grandma said he died on his bed from 10 minutes ago. I was shocked that I walked the way here happy because I will see my grandfather, who I didn’t see for about 2 years, and find him dead 10 min before I reach. I sadly sat on the sofa thinking of what is the impact of this incident on my father, who was outside the country, shall I tell him or he will be shocked. Many thoughts started to appear in my mind, so I decided to ask my uncle who was living in the same house and he said we will tell him that my grandfather is in the hospital and then after 2 days we tell him that he died. I agreed on that because it will decrease the amount of shock on my father because he will start thinking that his father may die. My father felt too sad after he heard the news and decided to ride the plane here after 2 days. I had to lie to him because I was afraid something happens to him. I stayed depressed for 2 weeks and wouldn’t believe it. When my father came he understood why I lied to him and tried to think big of life and accept what happened. I understood how a good day can turn up a bad day in a…

    The story started when we decided to watch the pirate show. It was such an interesting show that it attracted hundreds of people. I was very excited at the admirable performance of the actors and the actresses. At the end of the show, everybody started to hustle. My sister and I were unconsciously shoved away from my parents further and further. When the show ended, I realized that Anna – my little sister – had disappeared. I thought that she must be with my parents. With a hope in my mind, I turned back to my parents. “Where is Anna?” asked my mom just as she saw me. I was filled with terror. “How could you leave your nine-year-old-sister alone among such a crowd?” my dad, who had never got angry at me before, said while we were looking for her. Because Anna did not have a cell phone and was too young to get back to the hotel by herself, I was afraid that we would not see her again. With a feeling of guilt, I was very nervous and going to cry. After many hours of searching, we hopelessly went back to the hotel. While my father was going to call the police, Anna surprisingly appeared. “Here you are, my babe,” my mom said emotionally, embracing her. We learned that she had been taken to the hotel by a kind-hearted lady.…
