    Many people in my life have prepared me for my future and have taught me how to handle any obstacle thrown my way. My parents have inspired me to never settle for anything but the best, and have taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. Both of my parents came from families without a strong financial basis or a stronghold of people who believed that they could excel; moreover, this led my parents to becoming doctors and providing support in every aspect for my sister and I. My parents’ determination has led to my belief in the veracious message: nothing is going to be handed to you because you must work to make something happen. As I have gotten older and realize the little time I have left sheltered by my parents, this idea has prepared me for the real world due to the fact that I know not to take anything for granted, but to work for what I want to accomplish in life.…

    At the age of six, I knew that I wanted to find a career where I would be working with kids for the rest of my life. This was a time when my oldest niece was born and was diagnosed with a mild case of down syndrome. When she was an infant, my mother and I would babysit her and I would care for her as if I was a mother figure in her life. I consistently fed her bottles, changed her diapers, rocked her to sleep, and taught her how to read as she grew older. Whatever she needed, I would provide as much as I could. When I transitioned into high school, I found out exactly which career path I wanted to take. I want to go into neonatal nursing because I am very fond of infants. I feel as though I have experience with children who are born with defects…

    Walking into work I smell the aromas of a nursing home. I hear the sounds of wheel chairs and walkers scraping against the hard wood surface. As I walk to station one, I stop by the break room to store my food. The room is full of people charting the prior shift. Walking out of the room, I continue to station one. Finding the cork board with the neon green paper, I see what hall I am working. There is only my name and one other on spring hall. I know it is going to be a rough night; but at the end, I will remember my goal, which is helping others.…

    I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. "Would you turn that shit off." I heard James Kennedy, my foster father, yell. I quickly stopped my alarm and got up to walk downstairs. While walking down the stairs i slipped and fell straight on my ass bone. "Why can't you even walk down the stairs correctly." My foster father muttered while walking to the kitchen. I finally gathered myself together and walked into the kitchen. My foster father sat at the table reading the newspaper. "Look at this mexican f*g." My foster father said pointing to a photo of a man with long hair pulled back into a ponytail. The title read "Lin-Manuel Miranda broke the record for Tony nominations." I read the first sentence of the article about this Lin dude and…

    As I got out of my car and started walking to the front door, all I could do was admire this beautiful building that resembled a ranch-style home. When I walked through the front door, the smell of mashed potatoes, baked chicken breast, and wheat rolls filled my nose; it was as if I was walking into my own grandma’s house. In front of me there was a group of people; some in wheelchairs, some using walkers, and others on the couch shouting out answers to the latest crossword puzzles. Walking through these doors brought me to the realization that I was soon going to learn everything about each one of these people. This included how to specially care for and assist them with their everyday needs in this place that they call their home. I did not…

    After careful thought and consideration, I made the desire to return to school into a realistic goal. I had finally come to the conclusion, that it was time to take control of my circumstances, rather than continue to let my circumstances control me. For the first time in twenty years, I have a window of opportunity to fit a degree program into my daily schedule. Returning to school had always been a desire of mine, but in the past, I did not think I had the time or the money to pursue a degree. I was a single mother, I was working all of the time, my children were very young, and half of my wages went to daycare expenses.…

    My final project was a remake of my personal literacy narrative. Through this project, there were demonstrations of the many I began to lose interest in my writing. It showed how my high school took me from loving one thing so much and turning it something that is now simply just there. I still believe literature is an important skill that everyone must learn and know, but sometimes there can be many cases that cause you to no longer enjoy something. In my case, the reason for literature no longer being something that amuses me is that there were just too many factors that made writing no longer fun. There were times where I felt that literature no longer helped me be creative or express myself. Anything that involved timing a person on a creative…

    I remember when I learned to read I felt like I could do anything. One of the first books I learned to read was Are You My Mother? by P.D Eastman. I read this book everynight with my mother before bed. I'm not sure exactly what impact this book had on my life but I know that in a way it made me appreciate my mom more. The bird in the story asked every animal if they were his mother and they said no but then he found her, another bird just like him, just for him. My mom used to tell me that she was custom made for me and I was custom made for her just like the birds mom in the book was for…
