On a sunny Saturday morning when I was 5 years old, my sister and I were playing a game where we would push ourselves off of our bed like it was a slide. Our room was a pigsty; it looked as if a tornado had passed through. The mess from our closet met up with the end of our bed. I had just slid down the bed feet first into the mess when it happened.…
It was summer time and I was wearing my West Scranton football shorts and shirt, it was a normal day in the summer I was sitting in my living room with the air conditioner turned all the way down to 60 to get a cool breeze. I was watching Iron man but I really was not that into I kept drifting off and thinking what I should do with my day. My older brothers Shawn and Anthony came to the door around 2 in the afternoon and asked me if I wanted to go swimming. I quickly galloped up the stairs and asked my mother if I could go, she said yeah just be safe. So we left and went to a place called the “Rez” it was a place where high school and college kids go to jump off rocks and have a good time, it was a nice area surrounded by…

I was starting out 3rd grade in a new school. I didn’t really have any friends except for one, but she was more like a sister to me than a friend. I met a nice girl name Mia in my class. She was funny, nice, and popular. She walked up to me all happy and cheerful and asked my name. Of course I was shy but I was able to let out my name in a sorrow voice “Ariana Ceniceros…”. Everyone stared in silence as I walked away.…
This happened when I first moved to Kansas. It was the middle of summer and there were no kids around close to my age so I was alone. First i named some roses that were in my front lawn and drew pictures with them of crappy looking rabbits because that was all I knew how to draw. my mom came home one day and I ran up to her and showed her the pictures, saying "And this one rosy drew, and this one Rosetta drew and this one I drew." when I was done my mom said clearly not understanding that they were not real "what house do your friends live in?" Like the dumb kid i was i responded "oh they don't have a house they live in our front yard." Extremely confused and probably creeped out my moms said "can i meet these friends?" It was then I told…
Walking down cracked cement streets strewn with used syringes, students, ages four to ten, are captured by the surprising 1993 documentary I am a Promise: The Children of Stanton Elementary School. Taking place in a troubled inner-city neighborhood of northern Philadelphia, the Academy Award winning film explores the dynamics and challenges of a Chapter One School, which is a federally funded school to help disadvantaged poor children who test below the national norms. Stanton is composed of all African- American boys and girls, and over ninety percent of them come from single parent homes and live under the poverty line. In this paper, I will record my reactions toward the film, compare the differences of Stanton and of the schools I attended, and attempt to better understand the achievement gap.…
When I was about nine years old my great grandma Betty died. She was my grandpa’s mom. I remember my mom getting the call and her telling everyone that we needed to go, of course I was curious and kept asking where we were going. Once we got to her house my mom told my brother and I to sit outside, once we waited about 5 minutes outside on an old swing of my great grandmas my mom came and told us that she died. Of course I didn’t really understand so I just kinda said ok. Then my mom’s cousin saw us and asked if we wanted to go to the park and gas station to get some candy. Once we got to the gas station I remember getting some kind of sour candy and my brother getting a candy bar. After that we went to the park and played there for a good…
The time when my fifteen year old daughter wrecked my car. On this day I had a doctors appointment so I decided to pick Brittany up from school and take her with me. We arrived at the doctor's office on time, now keep in mind it's cold in most doctor's office, so I suggested that if she got cold she could go set in the car so I gave her my keys. The nurse called back to see the doctor, Brittany remained in the waiting area. Twenty minutes had pasted and the nurse was knocking on the examination room door, I stated "come in", the nurse opened the door and Brittany was standing there looking like she had seen a ghost, she was shaking and crying, however, she didn't make a sound. By this time I'm nervous and really need to know what happen. Brittany couldn't speak the nurse went to get her some water to com her down. I started thinking what could this child have done in twenty minutes of being out of my site.…
We were so happy, I started explaining to her where we were, how the place looked like and that there was a big garbage can, as I explain tears dripped from my eyes. We hugged each other, cried, and stayed put right next to the garbage can. We finally saw my mother’s silver BMW car. We slowly walked towards the car, making sure that it was my mother or one of our parents are in there. I then saw my mother did something with her hand, I know what that meant to hurry up, I told my little cousins to hurry up and get in the car, we ran as fast as we could towards the car and got in. Since then my little cousins and I learned a very big and important lesson that we will never forget, it to your pacings with your family, close and to tell them that you need a break if you are losing your…
