I remember waking up on the cold‚ hard ground having no clue where I was. The only thing I knew was that the pain I was enduring was unbearable. I asked myself‚ “What the heck am I doing here?!” I slowly looked around and saw a blurred version of my cul de sac. My head started to pound like the rhythm of a clock‚ gradually speeding up. I attempted to stand up‚ but the pain was too much. I glanced at my knee… it looked like a waterfall of blood. I laid there alone‚ waiting for someone to come. It

During spring break of my fourth grade year‚ my family and I visited our relatives in San Francisco. It had been a crisp California spring day‚ and we were lounging about at my aunt and uncle’s house. Their dog decided to join us‚ which created it a perfect photo opportunity for my mother. I really liked the dog‚ who was hilariously named Tubby. We did not have a dog at home‚ so this was my only chance to be around them. Tubby was as big as my brother was‚ extremely fluffy‚ and caused the house to

all began when Christmas break started. Just like other kids‚ I was extremely excited for the break. It meant no school for two weeks‚ presents‚ and more importantly‚ no school for two weeks. I didn’t know what I wanted for Christmas that year. I had everything‚ it seemed. I had entertainment‚ a family that loved me‚ good grades‚ and a hobby that I loved: soccer. The only thing I could think of getting was the new DSi. I had a ds‚ but how could an upgrade hurt anyone? So as I added it to the list

I feel that when it comes to effective communication and disciplining the phrase “one size fits all” is a false statement.

I am answering these questions based on my experience with my own children’s individuality. I picked scenario #4. I would sit down next to my 11-year old and put my arm around him and say‚ “I was wondering why I have not heard

Growing up in Ghana in the mid-nineties was a very challenging moment of my life. The West African country was recovering from an economic recession mainly attributed to series coup d’états that destabilized the economy and crippled most state institutions. These coup d’états‚ to an extent‚ left the country that once championed the emancipation of Africa in a deplorable state; a state of despair‚ hopelessness and economic hardship. The then government –National Democratic Congress – implemented

believe that the environment one grows up in and the people we surround ourselves with can shape who we will be for the rest of our lives. I grew up in a small neighborhood in the suburbs of a relatively big city.

Growing up in Nicaragua‚ my family had never been one to have an abundance of money. At the age of 10‚ my mother had to wake up at the crack of dawn everyday to pick up the fallen fruits from trees‚ go into the city and try to sell them to tourists in hopes of making enough money so that she and her brothers could eat that day. She was forced to become the adult of the family when she should have been in school like the other kids her age. She was deprived of the one thing that meant everything
