    There is something about youth that has always encapsulated those grown out of it. The human race puts it on a pedestal after it has been spent, and it becomes a last wish, something to laugh about in past tense. They will laugh and say how teenagers often feel as though they are invincible, that we are wild and insane because we think we cannot be harmed. But it is so much more than just a feeling. In the seconds between laughs and the embers of a glittering bonfire and the bite of a bone-chilling wind, we are invincible. We still may bleed, but it will be golden. We still may break, but it will feel as if we have been born anew. We still may feel the pain of our lives crushing into us, but it will seem like it is ecstasy rushing against us.…

    I learned that I should never use my condition to get special privileges, nor should I use it to receive sympathy from others. I’ve also learned to try new things, even if said things seem impossible. After all, the doctors told me that walking and running would be impossible, and yet I deceived them. The doctors told my parents that I’d never be able to play sports, and yet I have the awards to prove I can. The doctors told me I would have challenges in life, but everyone has challenges. In the end it's what you make of those challenges that make you who you…

    During the early stages of childhood, children grow and develop by learning new skills in every aspect of their life. There are many kinds of development from birth to eight years including these areas: neurological, cognitive, speech, language & communication, physical, emotional and social. Focusing on these areas, every child will grow and develop differently from one another, however each stage they go through are very similar.

    Walking around school and doors slamming into my face because no one would open them. Going out to eat and everyone staring at the “cripple.” Being in a full leg brace with crutches was a challenge. The only good that came from it physically was my arms got a little bit stronger. Under my arms I developed awful rashes that burned me tremendously. Mentally, I became a better person in every way possible. I was a very reckless individual and I stopped at nothing. I'd jump off buildings into snowbanks and not think about the consequences if I got hurt. My first time getting hurt changed my views on everything. Before I do anything, I think about my knee. It taught me to appreciate my body and not to beat on it constantly. I also feel grateful that I do have a very healthy body. Although my knee does hurt all the time, I can still walk. Now when I see someone disabled in anyway, I do not stare. Instead I feel a sense of sympathy for them. I understand the everyday struggles they must go through that other people might not consider. Before my injury, I never realized the simple things in everyday life are the biggest challenges to…

    This experience has taught me that it is beneficial to have endured challenges in life, whether it be an intellectual challenge or not. Facing adversity enables us to grow, because it allows us to learn from our mistakes and makes us more resilient. Resilience as well as patience are two very important life lessons that I have learned from overcoming my dyslexia. Even though this deficiency has hindered me from performing well in school in the past, I learned with time that I will eventually improve and be able to conquer other hurdles life sends my…

I’m researching prenatal care, and birthing experiences, to see how times have changed and to see if some things have stayed the same.

    As a high school student I decided to take a ROP (Regional Occupational Program) class in child development. The class required us to attend class every class meeting and when done with the course to complete hours to receive a certificate of completion. I did my hours at A Higher Learning Child Development in the city of Lynwood, CA. I was asked to watch over a child who had Down syndrome, I was scared at the beginning because I have never worked or been around anyone with a disability but I was up for the challenge. As I got to know the child I noticed he loved to be read to the smile he gave was priceless. I really enjoyed spending time with him and teaching him as well as learning from him. I then realized that I was made to work with children with disabilities I felt as if I was born to help them.…

    Believe it or not I have not always been as bright as I am now. There was a time when I was the kid who struggled in many of his classes, not the one that people went to for advise on a subject. I hated school because it was extremely hard for me. I was born on May the 11, 1994 in Nashville tennessee. I came from a well to do family and when i was of age was enrolled into private school where i spend the rest of my schooling up through high school. It was evident at an early age that there was something different about me. the first sign was my speech impediment, for the life of me i could not say the letter S every sentence i spoke was a struggle. Then it was reading and spelling. I was behind most of the other kid in both, I read slower and could not spell the same level words as the other kids. It was so bad that in kindergarten i was made to repeat it. Then came elementary school which went much better then preschool had gone, but i still struggled with things. Then in the third grade my parent took me to get tested to determine my mental ability. That is when i found out i am dyslexia. dyslexia is a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading, spelling, and in young children affects there speech. This was devastating to me, because as a third grader all i wanted to be was normal, and at the felt like people would think i was retarded. through all of this my parents only encouraged me, telling me that i could overcome this setback. That is exactly what i set out to do. Starting in the fourth grade every afternoon i would leave school and go straight to tutoring at the learning lab. I hated this because while all my friends were playing at home i was studying but i knew that it would be worth it. My parents also made me take adrenal which i thought was super embarrassing and i can remember to this day hiding them in the cracks of the table or under my chair so i would not have to take them.…

    When I was younger, I had dyslexia. I would be in the class and the teacher would be reading a book and I wouldn't understand why things were so difficult. I would look around the classroom and see every other person in the classroom understanding the teacher's lesson and wonder why I wasn't too. When the class had writing assignments or spelling test I remember struggling to spell words or the assignment would stress me out considering it just seemed so much harder than everyone in the class, everyone at home and everyone that I was round made it seem. Being a younger child at the time I was impressionable and I didn't understand dyslexia and that I could get help for it. Confidence was the biggest thing that my dyslexia affected the most…
