A Place of My Own
A place of my own
Everyone has the place of their own and so do I. But, the place of my own is not that big, majestic or magnificent and also it is not physical. It’s just a simple one. But, the story behind the place of my own is really mesmerizing. And I hope I will not be here anymore if anyone becomes to know my story.
The story starts when I was born. But, I have no idea about my mom and dad till now because they left me since I was born. And I grew as a beggar. I didn’t know about respect, honesty, love, care and charity. Education and society had no meaning for me.
The ones in my environment were really harsh, insolent and rude. They had no standard. Maybe I didn’t also have standard. And it was horrific to be beggar who couldn’t taste the real aspect of life. I told to myself that I hated my life a lot every night though I didn’t know what the word “hate” indeed meant. I didn’t like the cold winter night which made me freeze. I detested the people who humiliated and put down me. I didn’t want the time of starvation. I loathed the ones who took my savings and bullied me. Life was so severe for me to survive. I was sometimes about to give up.
But, things completely changed when I was fifteen years old. I still remembered that day which I met Mr. Jason. That time, I was at peak of depression, stress and all. I thought I didn’t want to live any more. So I went to Than Lwin River to suicide. And, there, I saw Mr. Jason who was about thirty years old. He was in the suit of black and was really handsome. He could really impress me, he took my mind. I was flowing in his speech. He said that he wanted to buy the rest of my life. I didn’t know that we could buy people. He said he would give many things, much money and he would even fulfill my wishes. I just had to do what he said. I didn’t know that he was buying the place of my own which was my mind. And I dealt with him. And he took me to his home which was in downtown area. Although it was downtown, his house

    The first few years of my life were spent alone. My birth father left when I was born and my birth mother would leave me home alone for days on end. I remember when I was two, waking up and not finding anyone in the house, I was hungry and scared. I would climb on to the counters to find something to eat, which a lot of times was nothing. I would have to do everything for myself, but soon that would change. The last time my birth mother left me, i was sent to my Grandparents. My Grandpa was sick and they didn’t have a lot of money. My Grandma started calling friends and relatives but no one wanted to take me. She was losing hope, but there was one last couple she could try. She called my parents and they took me instantly. Ever since then I’ve been happy, healthy and loved. I couldn’t ask for better parents…

    My Special Place

    As dew glistens across a field of grass and wild flowers, the sun rises, and a new day dawns. Butterflies dance across the field as they collect pollen off of the wildflowers and the sounds of birds singing their morning tune resounding across scenery. The gentle morning breeze brings the intense color of the flowers to life. Their natural soft and sweet fragrance along with the trees swaying is hypotonic in their rhythm. The gentle babbling of a slow flowing creek, Crackling and bubbling as it flows down stream with its crystal clear water, shows no signs of ever being touched by man. My special place overwhelms me with feelings by the flooding of senses.…

    While I walked behind him I saw an icecream stand. I pooled the man by his shirt and said: „Daddy, can I have some icecrem. Pretty please.“ with a sparkly look in my eyes. The man, who I was convinced was my dad, turned to me and said: „ Are you talking to me? I'm not your daddy. You must be lost.“ He patted my shoulder and walked away. And there was I standing confused, all alone next to hundreds of people passing by. My sight was getting blury as my tears were starting to collect in my eyes. I sat on a bench and cryed. Nobody cared, nobody turned to help. People can be so careless sometimes.…

    My special place is the country in Bristow, Oklahoma. When I am in the country I hear the goats “baa-ing”, the stomping of their feet hitting the grass, the pigs snorting, rolling around in the mud, and the dog barking. I see my two children running around messing with the dog and running away from the daddy goat. My dad and grandpa are drinking beer and messing with a car or staring at each other. The baby goats are following their mother around everywhere. There is nothing but green grass and a bunch of energy from the animals. I smell goat poop, the pig’s nasty, natural smell they have and the fresh, beautiful, dirt road air all at the same time. I see green grass, a bunch of big, green trees, and pretty flowers bloomed. I walk behind the…

    It all starts with my mother and father. I never really knew either of them. I lived with my mother, but I never really knew her. We were very distant people living in the same house. You could not have asked for two more different people. But I’m glad we’re opposites, the one thing in life I want more is to never be like her. I was told my father never had the desire to see me. I was merely an accident from a fling that should have never happened.…

    A Room Of One's Own

    • 147 Words

    Virginia Woolf authored A Room of One’s Own, a book containing what would have happened had Shakespeare had a sister. Woolf first writes, “Shakespeare himself went… to the grammar school”( 46). Woolf’s word choice of “Shakespeare himself” excludes Judith from what Woolf writes next. This immediately begins contrast between Shakespeare’s experience and his sister Judith’s experience. Furthermore, Woolf lists all of the opportunities Shakespeare had, like “grammar school” and “seek[ing] his fortune in London” (46) then contrasts those statements by saying, “Meanwhile [Shakespeare’s] extraordinarily gifted sister, let us suppose, remained at home” (47). Woolf used the word “ meanwhile” to directly contrast Shakespeare’s mass of opportunities…

    A place that is special to me, as cliché as it sounds, would have to be my room. All throughout my life my family and I have moved from house to house pretty consistently. Growing up I never thought of any place we would visit or where we lived as a special place to me because I knew within a year or two we would be living somewhere new. Packing up your whole life into brown cardboard moving boxes, getting into a moving truck that would always smell of cigarettes and sweat and going into a strange new house was fun for the first few moves; it felt like an adventure at first but year after year of the same routine it just started feeling normal to me. I used to think it was strange that my friends had never moved from their first house while I was going on to another house but as I grew up, I realized that it was strange to move as often as my family did. In total my family and I have moved from strange house to stranger house 12 times in my 19 years. Although I have always lived in Arizona but that is 12 new houses, 12 years of being the new kid at a different school, 12 years of unpacking just to repack 11 months later, and starting the cycle all over again. I could never keep track of the all cities we lived in, or the number of schools I bounced around and back to but I could always remember how my room was set up in every single house. I did not have a choice as to which new city we lived in or moved back to, or what new school I was blindly tossed into but I did have choice as to how my room could look. That was always my favorite part of moving, I knew no matter what I would be able to organize and decorate my room the way I wanted it to be. I used to think moving was kind of stressful to me because my family usually procrastinated until the day or two days before so my family would rush packing. We would go without sleeping for that day or those two days just packing everything and doing late night moving runs. But to me being able to have…

    From kindergarten until my last year of middle school, all I ever heard flow out of those ugly mouths was insults, teases, and other such things like, “You should just die, because nobody loves you!” Ah, and such were the times my heart grew colder, darker, and isolated. I can’t count the times I had often dreamt of them finding slow and painful ends, but I knew better than to wish damnation on others. Even if the adults near me turned a blind eye for the sake of their jobs, I was not so weak as to let them rule my life, and smart enough to not raise a physically threat against them.…
