Rockefeller family

Colorado a place where there are beautiful snowy mountains and a bunch of scenery. A girl from Los Angeles, California that would be the weirdest thing to imagine for someone who grew up around beaches and warm weather all the time. That girl was me, I just learned that I was moving from sunny California to bi-polar weather Colorado. Learning that I was moving to a completely different state was one of the hardest and weirdest things for me. During the months of September and October my…

never been a bad kid. Always listen to them and mostly stayed out of trouble. I learned a lot about my emotional intelligence through this experience. I will try not to shut people out when I’m aggravated, and I will show more empathy towards my family and friends feelings. One day my parents won’t be here and I don’t want to look back as and think of the bad times, but all the good ones. Even though my parents can drive me crazy and I know I do the same to them, I just need to get in the…

Local is the sense of familiarity generated as you interact with the same things, people, shops, or parks for example, again and again, creating a knowledge and memory of where things are, how things work and what significance they have in your day to day. It is far more than proximity and geography. In my experience, locality creates a sense of home. Every individual, even those living in the same location, has a different experience of the local. Social spheres cause many of the people in my…

With my heart about to beat out of my chest, I make my way down the long narrow hallway that takes me to the courtroom where my family is waiting . I remember seeing all of the yellow caution wet signs scattered down the hall, letting people know that they had just finished mopping the smooth white floors. As I stand in front of the tall wooden doors that separate me from the court room, I cant help but wonder what all could go wrong. Does my step dad really want to adopt me? Will the judge…

My mother found out she was pregnant at the doctor’s office during a regular check up. The nurse asked when her last menstrual period was and she was a week or two late so they did a pregnancy test and it came back positive. She was very surprised when she got the results back. My parents were not trying to get pregnant but also were not preventing pregnancy. My mother stated, “Now that I look back, I do not know why I was so shocked. It is not like we were using any methods of prevention”. Her…

was stubborn. I began to lie and make excuses, but that didn’t get me very far. Lying was one thing that was just in my nature. I didn’t really have someone around who cared about how I was doing in school, especially someone who wasn’t my immediate family. I didn’t want to risk like looking like a fool if I did something stupid and got caught I had no idea what was going on. When my grades came in, my heart sank to my stomach; there was no way out of this one. Trying to come up with an excuse…

My Dad My Dad has always been my inspiration ever since I was little. Some people can say the same thing, but some can say their father wasn’t like my dad. Even my dad couldn’t say that his father was his inspiration. His dad left him just when he was an eight year old boy, and would come back when he turned sixteen. Only to leave yet again and not speak to my dad until he was forty. Sitting outside on the steps as my dad and I watch our dogs run around after each other. The glow from the sun…

It seems as if they both love to have her sympathy and attention for every little bump in the road more than thinking of how all of this bad news affects her. Since Kyle and I have been married over 20 years, he is already very aware of all of my family members and their three (desired, perceived, and presenting) selves! I finished the end of our conversation by telling him that I spent 30 minutes on the phone with my mom reminding her that my brother is 44 and my sister is 35. My mom can’t do…

In “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin, the theme of motherhood and the idea of the “mother-woman,” are both very prominent. Two of the novel’s main characters are mothers, although their views on motherhood are not alike at all. Throughout the novel, Adele and Edna are compared to show how Adele surpasses the societal ideals of what a mother and wife should be, and how Edna defies those standards and refuses to let motherhood consume her life. One of the ways that this is achieved is by the use…
