All summer‚ I had spent preparing to be the best soccer player. This was my second year making the varsity soccer team. During My freshman

It was the morning of move in day. I said goodbye to my home and headed out. I passed the local shopping market and my high school where I enjoyed a fun four years. As I headed to Norman I realized I was leaving everything I had ever known. All my life has consisted of living in the same house‚ going to school with the same kids‚ and going to the same supermarkets and restaurants. While I’d like to say I have developed a good idea of the world around me by visiting so many cities around the

Living in "the hood" in Weslaco‚TX surrounded by my entire family was really a fundamental thing in my life. When i say entire‚ I mean literally all of us live a minute maybe two away from each other‚ and some of us were even neighbors. Now things are a little different and we may have scattered around all over Weslaco but we remain united and always available if one of us needed each other. My cousins and I would always be together‚ Literally 24/7. Sometimes we would fight and i look back and

At a very young age I learned I was only good at a very select number of things. I failed miserably at soccer‚ and my experience on the kindergarten basketball team was nothing short of catastrophic. I was far from the avid reader I am today and have needed a tutor in math since I learned how to multiply. It wasn’t that I was particularly bad at all of these things‚ but I used to be so remarkably unambitious that I couldn’t bring myself to commit to anything long enough to become good at it. That

My eyes felt heavy and dry from staring at my phone for so long. I know I should have been studying for my science test‚ but I procrastinated‚ so I continued to keep my dazed eyes glued to the bright screen. When I rarely looked up from my phone‚ I noticed that day was withering away‚ as it was becoming more and more deep into the night‚ with the sun replaced by the moon in the star-filled sky. After just simply turning my neck to my window‚ I felt stiff from staying in the same position‚ being too

Lupus turned my life completely around. By the time I was 13 the doctors discovered that I had lupus‚ in my immune system. I couldn’t do things that I wish that I could’ve done at such a young age. Joining sports isn’t an option for me because I have to take things easy. Doing anything that can cause my lupus to react would be bad for me. Ever since I was diagnosed with lupus‚ I have always tried to take things easy so that I wouldn’t end up in the hospital.My lupus transformed my personal development

Growing up‚ my family and I were on and off church goers. In my younger years we went every Sunday‚ but as time passed‚ we seemed to go less and less. Though I no longer attended church‚ I still believed in God. I devoted my life to the lord at the age of seven‚ while attending a youth camp in Michigan designed to bring young hearts to the lord. I participated in the camp for several years‚ but as I got older‚ I wanted the summers to play sports and socialize with my friends. So I stopped going.

Hope has always kept me strong and has helped me move forward in my life. Without hope one would not be able to face everyday challenges. The challenges that I was faced with have benefited me in ways that not only have an impact on me‚ but also benefit others. The first thing I remember was the cold concrete school floor. Everything around me was spinning and I had no idea where I was. My body felt numb. I glanced to my right where I saw the dark shoes of a paramedic. “Everything is going to be

Everyone goes to college‚ because they want that degree to have a good job that makes them money. For me‚ college brings me a chance of change. I never saw myself trying my best in college. I guess it could be of that fact I don’t have much confidence in myself. This is my first year of college‚ my second semester. The most successful I ever felt was taking Personal Growth 140.

I wanted to make my way into the world‚ and start earning money as a professional‚ not as a short-order cook in the family restaurant. Looking back through the lens of time it is easy to say that one of my greatest regrets was the decision not to go to graduate school‚ because I now realize how quickly life does change and that years really
