I also have a passion for singing and dancing. My first dance lessons were when I was 4, always singing along to the songs even if I didn’t know the lyrics, making them up to the tune. When I was younger, I remember of wanting to be a singer, I even cried telling my mom that I wanted to be a singer instead of “those boring office jobs.” As I grew older, I realized, there’s so many kids in this world with so much more talent than me and that it’s risky as well. I realized this career choice was not so worth it.…
In life, people face decisions that can change life, either in a positive way or in a negative one. In my life, there’re some times that I challenged an idea and I’ve got to stop and to think what decision would be the best for me. Any choice would be a path to reach an important goal in my life, which is live abroad. So, I’ve got to decide either to stay in Brazil or come over to United States, specifically United States, leaving my lovely mother at home. But I have overcome it all so far.…
Throughout my life there has been a greater emphasis on music and artistic talents rather than on physical attributes. I am not athletically inclined in the slightest, but music comes naturally and a love for it grew from my first and only piano teacher. She threw me my most secure life line when I was seven years old. My parents bought a heavy, ancient and well-used upright piano from one of our neighbors many years ago. It was almost mesmerizing to have a piano at my house and not just my grandparents.…
It’s very strange how one experience or choice you make in your life can change the rest of your life that follows that event, would you then in turn change these decisions you made. Such as your what if your mom conceived you not on the knowing basis. What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with. This then in turn affected all her choices later in life, but then vice versa what if she didn't challenge this belief and stuck with what she knew. This may be of the more extreme choices in life that some people must make but we all have that certain time in our life that comes where we must break away and make…
Decision is the word I chose to explain my experiences of how I became and who I am. I want to be different from my brother, uncles and the rest of the family. I want to be an example for my Dad and Mom, even if my decisions are hard to take, because I can remember the first conversation with my Mom about dropping out of school and explaining why I have to do that, how I was going to deal with that decision and asking her to support my decision so she can help me explain it to my Dad. Well, the conversation with my Mom was so easy always,never forget how Mom is so understandable she always help me alot…
My hometown is a city of music and creativity, so naturally I have acquired a sixth sense for music and performing. This started at about age 5 when I performed in front of an audience for the very first time. This quite rewarding performance helped me realize that this was something that I wanted to do for the rest of my life. From an extremely young age, I discovered that I had a talent, and that was my voice. All throughout my life, I have cited music and singing as a way to deal with the obstacles that life has put in my way.…
"Unique New York, Unique New York, Unique New York, Unique New York. " The children's choir at my temple was practicing vocal exercises to prepare for our upcoming Shabbat service, the first one that I would participate in. When that evening came, however, I forgot the words to Hatikvah and ran offstage in tears. My parents were right behind and ended up spending the end of the service comforting me. That night, I made the decision to quit choir before I had a chance to process what my failure meant.…
Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter.…
Have you ever been 12? Probably, but everyone is different when they're 12. When I was a small 12 year old, there wasn't much to me. I was misplaced, sad, scared, and stupid. And when I say stupid, I do mean stupid.…
It was Friday in fall of 2017. I was with my friends and classmates in school. The friends that were in a group were, Lucas, Max, me (Gurkrish), and Joshua. I was playing on my phone at the end of the day before lunch. I went to go put my phone away, and I did.…
Chapter Two I was now driving down the road with a girl I didn't even know, but who thought she knew me. I couldn't imagine what Brad and my mom were thinking right now and how am I going to explain this when I get back to them? My mom is really protective over me as well, despite her blunt questions. I know I had to come up with a good excuse to explain to her.…
The Choice Myth I’ve always wanted to be tied to a fence post with a few of my teeth knocked out and a stylish new cut to my arm with words that mean “cigarette,” or “happy.” My desire unfortunately has never been fulfilled like many of my other desires. I have never had the chance to be disowned by a family that claimed to love me. I have never been told I was evil by a church. I have never been bullied for any reason that has to do with my sexual orientation.…
I was in my room it was June 19. I went to go to the restroom and then I ate. I went to go change. I went outside to go to my friends house.…
I woke up to the sound of my mom bellowing my name from downstairs. I had no idea what I had done this time. I sprung out of bed and trudged out the door. As I approached the bottom of the stairs I saw my mom standing in the kitchen tapping her foot next to the dishwasher, and immediately I knew. The night before I thought that it would be a good idea to take all of the racks out of the dishwasher and turn it in to a farm for frogs.…
In my life, I have been able to grow as a person through my experiences. I have been able to learn about myself, who I am and discovered many of my strengths. Among these strengths are my determination, ambition, independence, and organization. Determination is immeasurable. Regardless of any obstacles, I am able to push through and achieve my goal.…
