A day I want to forget
A day I would like to forget It started out as a normal day, I went to school but, school got out at ten because of snow. As my little brother and I were walking off the bus, I saw a u-haul parked in our driveway. I thought I was going blind for a second, I didn’t know what was going on. My first thought was “Does my mother know about his move?” Before I saw anything else, my step-dad walked outside to greet my brother and I. All three of us plus his mother and sister came inside the house and tried to explain everything to us. My mom knew nothing about this until she came to the house after getting off work that afternoon. I cried on her shoulder and she cried on mine, we were both heartbroken. I have never felt that before, my whole world was turned upside down and hasn’t been the same since. That was my mom’s second sepration but my first heartbreak from a boy and I would love to forget this day from sunrise to sunset. My step-dad took both of my brothers with him and I live here with my mom. I wish both of my younger brothers lived here with us and went to the schools I grew up going too. Steven (13) attends Smithfield Middle school and William (8) attends South Smithfield. They should be attending Polenta Elementary and McGees Crossroads Middle, it breaks my heart that they don’t. Did you ever think one day could change your entire life? Cause I sure didn’t. I wish January 10, 2009 never happend. I was alone. Nobody else knows whats it like to watch your only dad walk out of your life, like it not a big deal. It’s not a huge deal, until it happends to you and your family. I watched him walk out of our house for the last time that day. I heard him say “I love you” and mean it for the last time. I watched him to stay my only brothers way. I watched him get the mail for our mailbox for the last time but most of all, I watched my heart follow him as he drove away. I wasnt as sad as my mother though, she wants nothing to do with that man. He hurt her to much

    It was October third a thursday night after our freshman football game. Lying in bed, not able to sleep, I hear the doorbell ring and parents going down stairs. Peaking my head around the corner to see who it could be at 11:03 pm. Just to see two state troopers standing in the doorway. My mind and heart automatically beginning to race, and my heart instantly dropping. To hear “I'm sorry to say but your son has been killed in a car accident in Ames Iowa”. A devastating night I will remember forever. With emotions being spilled and tears being shed it’s hard to stay strong for each other in that specific moment, but I know that I have to be there…

    Mom and I day have our own house now, we have great family and friends, she has a good job and I graduated from high school with good grades. It’s funny because when she told me that we were going to be alright I didn’t believe in her, but she was right. After all the struggles, the tears, the fights, and the confusion, we’re alright. I learned that all sacrifices paid off, and that you can do anything you want if you’re determinate and have the inner strength to pick yourself up every time you fall. Coming here to Miami was hard, but I’m very grateful that we did…

    The night I found out about my dad, I couldn’t understand why this was happening to me. At first, all I could think of were moments that he wouldn’t be able to witness. From seeing me graduate college to walking me down the aisle, it felt like I was being hit with a tsunami as I realized that soon, I would have to walk the path of life without my dad. How was it fair that I would have my dad ripped from my life after only 15, 16, or 17 years? I spent so much time feeling bad for myself that I didn’t see just how lucky I really was. While there are people in this world who have never known their parents, I’ve been blessed to know my father for 15 years.

    "Can you guys come in the dining room for a minute?" As my face turns reddish and my stomach feelings like it is turning inside out, my stomach has never felt the way it felt that day? On just a day like no other I could not even believe that this had happened. That just a few words could have such a strong meaning, these words felt as if the world had been crashing all at once. This had felt like a nightmare, it stills feels like one to till this day, and I just have not woken up from it. I tell myself every day "everything happens for a reason" but I just can never seem to understand even after four years later what that reason was for. Why did this have to happen? I was only twelve years old, and when your parents tell you that they will no longer be able to be together it is the hardest thing to take in and think about.…

    We had to say our last goodbye to our little house we had lived in our whole lives. When we were leaving, my family and relatives were at the house saying their goodbyes and giving hugs. “Do we really have to leave everyone and move, mom?” I asked. “Your dad and I have agreed that it will be a good move for the family, now stop complaining about it.” she told me. The only thing I wanted to do that day was stay in our old house and cry because I didn’t want to leave my family at all, I was really dreading moving to Florida. When we headed off on the roads I was still upset about the move, but my parents kept telling me it will be okay but that didn’t help me feel any…

    So when it came time to take him to college, I was devastated. What was I going to do without my big brother? The three of us (me, Jacob, and my mother) had made a road trip out of the event. The final destination was St. Louis, Missouri, where he was to attend Webster University for the conservatory of musical theater for the next four years of his life. When we finally arrived, we checked into our hotel and headed over to the campus to help Jacob settle into his dorm. My mother was a wreck the whole time, sobbing whenever Jacob would do something as little as smile at her. For the most part, I kept it together pretty well. I had not cried once so far, although I knew the tears were soon to come. Once we finished setting up Jacob's dorm room, we headed over to the freshman fair and orientation where he received all the essentials he would need to live on his own. It all happened so quickly. I could already feel my brother slipping through my hands. I couldn’t let go. Not yet. When the day finally finished, my mother and I went back to our hotel for the night while Jacob stayed at the dorms to familiarize…

    By the time I got out of bed and into the bathroom to shower it had been 7 45 am, almost 8 am. I had an hour to get to my school. We lived ten minutes away from Devon shire elementary school in Des Plaines. By the time I was done and ready to leave the house it was 8 30 am. My dad had promised the day before that he would come to drop me off to my classroom in the morning. Just like he had promised, he walked with me to the school. I told him, “I don’t want to go to school, I don’t know English, and I don’t know anyone, I don’t want to go to school.” My dad didn’t reply to what I had said he just walked holding my hand. It was 8 45 am when we turned the corner and saw all the kids outside playing. As we walked closer to the crowd of students my dad saw someone he recognized and he told me to wait there for him to come back. I stood up like a statue- who can hear all children screaming, and who can see children waving to their…

    My first few days at Smith Elementary were rough. I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t know my surroundings. After a year of being at Oakwood I was familiar with the school and town. But I still felt out of place. I made friends but I didn’t make any strong connections with anyone. As the years went on I moved from group to group. Once Junior High started I was lonely. I had tried the cliques, gotten in trouble because of them; and I was still alone. That year was full of nights with tears. When my brother left for college at the end of my 7th grade year I was devastated. He was my best friend. How was I suppose to last without him? Well truth be told, I didn’t. My grades began slipping; I went from being a straight A student to B’s and C’s. Along with that I began lying frequently and getting in trouble. I was lost and confused. Being…
