My dad and I passionately walked up to the dart game. I asked him if I could play, excitement in my dazzling eyes. “Can I dad?” I asked, willingly. He smiled and agreed. But my hesitant body shook, throwing the lean dart off its one-sided course. I felt destroyed, banished, and even regretful. Why didn’t I throw it better, can I not aim? Why did I shake, was I afraid? I questioned myself, gripping my hands into fists. Dad started to play the game, trying to win the buffalo for me. I looked up at him, watching his hand raise with the dart inside of its tight grasp. I started to pace behind my dad with anxiety. I doubted my actions in my mind. Why did I ask for that ginormous, white furred, silver lined stuffed buffalo? I looked around at the

    Some nights I dream about Michael. He’s coming home from college for christmas break and he’s brought a girl with him. Our family is sitting at the dinner table and he’s giving my sister’s new boyfriend a hard time. He’s sitting in the audience, whooping and hollering as I walk across the stage and receive my diploma. Other times, he’s standing in a waiting room, introducing my sisters and me to his little girl. I dream about all of the moments my family and I never got to have with him and my heart breaks every single time. Michael has been gone for almost 16 years and yet he is still with me every day.

    I am sure you find many letters coming across your desk from parents who have taken the opportunity to ‘brag’ about their child. I know mine won’t be the best, but I hope that I do my daughter justice at the end. As most parents do, especially with their first child, they keep a folder of milestones their child has reached throughout their years; a folder filled with report cards, love letters, photos, school projects, etc. When I look back at one of Morgan’s Kindergarten project “All about Me”, I couldn’t agree more with the saying on the front of her book exclaiming, ”There is nobody in the world exactly like me!”. It’s exactly how I feel about Morgan.…

    I did my research on Dad's experiences during the pregnancy process and I found a very interesting article on the database titled "Prospective fathers' adverse childhood experiences, pregnancy-related anxiety, and depression during pregnancy". Fathers can become stressed or have anxiety during the mothers pregnancy. Whether the father has anxiety during pregnancy depends on their past experiences. According to Smith (2015), "Anxious and depressive feelings during pregnancy can be related to relational disharmony with their partners" (p. 110). For example if their past relationships had problems they might have anxiety of what will happen once the baby is born. The father experiences so much feelings and disorders during the pregnancy because they become attached to their partner and start feeling the same feelings the mother has.…

    It was the year 2012, when I experienced a life-changing event, which led to my transition from childhood into adulthood. This event was my parent’s divorce. During this time I was scared and hurt, because my parents’ separation not only meant the parting of my parents-but parting from the life I’ve always known as a child. The separation moved at an almost mockingly lackadaisical pace. Months tediously dragged on, and even after the legal separation my life was never as it once was. I started to appreciate the people who were present in my life and how precious family stability is. The idea of losing my mother or father to divorce made me realize that this could have easily been a loss due to an illness. I grew to appreciate that I am lucky to have them in my life period. It was at this time that I seriously thought about working in health care; a field that aims to prolong human lives. This event of my childhood that some might even call traumatic, bettered me, and brought me into the adult world.…
