I grew up in an abusive home. My parents fought constantly. Their misunderstandings usually resulted in my mother getting beaten up very badly by my father and forced to sleep outside with only her night clothing to keep her warm. I found this terrifying. I was afraid he would kill her. However‚ I had to be tough as I am the first born and I had to assure my distraught siblings that all would be well. My father and I didn’t have a father-daughter relationship. I was too afraid of him. I couldn’t

life I have been surrounded by teacher’s. Teacher’s that teach all the subjects and teachers that teach only one. I have also been around kids all of my life.

very quiet person to start out and I often found it very hard to speak up when with other people especially when it comes to leading them. Though‚ with my position as a lacrosse goalie I was always under pressure from coaches to speak out more. As a goalie‚ it was my responsibility to keep up communications‚ lead my fellow defenders and location of the ball and when to crash in for a shot. It always seemed like a task I would never be able to fully grasp. So‚ when I made junior varsity my freshman year

a Rush to Grow up A year ago all I could think about was‚ what could be any better than being an adult. I had just been a year into my volunteering for Silver Cord (a school volunteer program) when I begun to think I was capable of working‚ because I enjoyed being able to give back to the community through Silver Cord. I needed something that would give me the chance to work weekly in the same environment. I thought work could grant me the pass to become a responsible adult. When I was hired

Everyone wants to be something when they grow up. Not everyone gets the chance to be what they want to be. Not everyone is provided with an opportunity. I am lucky that I was given one and now I have to do my part by taking advantage of it. I know what I want to be and I’m certain that I want to be a successful computer science major. The moment I knew what I wanted to study in college was when my cousin Jonathan moved in with me and my family. I was eleven years old when Jonathan moved in

Often times‚ I see kids playing as grown ups‚ always hearing them wishing they’re older and wanting time to pass by so quickly. And all I want to do is beg them not to rush‚ to take time for themselves to flourish because they’re delicate flowers that need time to bloom to handle their future’s harshness -things I never did as a kid. Not surprisingly‚ I was exactly similar; the only thing I considered “cool” as a kid is to grow up. To grow up‚ everything was possible. To grow up‚ I would be living
