“Anchors Under the Sea”

Independente. Sounds stressful and tough right? It's like a ship loaded with really important merchandise for a really big company that has to be delivered on time and safe. But the question is, what helps the ship be safe during the trip? Anchors. An anchor tries or avoids an accident of a ship from a really strong wind and waves or even storms. Anchors can even stop a ship from drowning down to the sea. And the reason why I compare this to my life is because ever since I started to be independent when I was 15 years old, I started to have many responsibilities to take care on my own, which in this case I compare myself with the ship that has the responsibility to deliver the merchandise safe to the owner. But the anchors also make a big part of my life, and the reason

As we go along with our path to reach our future, we will find many struggles to pursue our goals. But that isn’t a sign for you to give up! In life we have many lessons we need to go thru, but that makes us even more stronger and wise as we grow up. And this “strong waves” hit me really hard when I graduated Middle School. My life changed completely after this day. I was 15 years old when I had to decide whether I keep my educational life or stay with my parents at Mexico and become an unsuccessful person. This was a really big decision to make at that age and also to be concerned that my life was going to be completely different. But of course, graduating from college has been my biggest dream since I was little, so I decided to not give up. Even tho my parents were upset about my decision to return to my state and become successful in life, they supported me and gave me all their trust and hopes. Well graduating from college has been my parents biggest dream even more because I will be the first one with a professional degree in my

    Along my journey in school I remember all the sacrifices my parents did for me and my siblings. For example, my father Adolfo Garcia would work from Monday to Saturday from sun up to sun down in order to provide food on the table, clothing on our backs, and a roof over are heads. Although both of my parents encourage and motivate me to attend school and pursue higher education, I am also motivated by all the sacrifices they have made because I know that if it wasn’t for the support of my parents I would not be where I am…

    Life with Education As I sit and reflect on “First Job” by Iliana Roman and how her life could possibly compare to mine, the term “apples and oranges” come to mind. Even while I admire Iliana Roman’s “never give up” attitude and the fact she proved that a woman does not need a man to be successful in life, I don’t believe I’m going to find a multitude of points to hit upon. While the author’s first job of many lasted a period of years, my one and only job lasted a little over a year. It started at the beginning of my senior year and lasted through graduation.…

Surrounded by the infinite amount of college papers and textbooks, you will basically be drowning yourself in your own clutter. However, you will still be happy with it, despite its messy condition, because it’s your apartment.

    Middle School Mid-Life Crisis Middle school, a time of cringe worthy moments and regret. I like to refer to this story as my “Middle School Mid-Life Crisis”, since I questioned the purpose of going to school almost every day, and never felt motivated to do anything. Dreading almost every day of school, not having stable mental, emotional, or physical health, and feeling dissatisfied with myself as a student. My mind set was always on countdown mode, “I just have to make it through this class period. I only have 20 more problems to do.”…

    As an immigrant, I have lived a financially difficult life when my father gambled away our home, savings, and the life we had in Iowa and decided to leave us in Georgia. Overnight my mother was granted custody of my two sisters and I and became a single parent/head of household after more than 12 years of being a stay at home mom. With minimal English and no work experience, my mom initially worked for less than minimum wage jobs, food catering company during the day; where her income was based on how much production/food she completed for the day, cleaning corporate companies at night, and even cleaning people’s homes on the weekends to provide for the family. With the joys of having us in her life, she had to sacrifice everything including getting only a few hours of sleep every night and working multiple…

    Growing up, I was faced with many adversities, just like a lot of students in California school systems. I was a female, Mexican-born immigrant, growing up in Oakland in a pretty rough neighborhood. In high school I demonstrated grit by applying myself and fighting the urge to quit and finally graduating, while the curriculum helped me, there was still many other burdens in my life apart from education. In community college, when I first began, the “Student fear factor” definitely applied to me because I did not know what college was even about. I was so used to just being in high school where most people did not care if you made it to college, and my family was so busy with work and trying to keep up with rent and bills, that they had no time…

    People who face hard times often find courage and determination in order to overcome their problems. The courage and determination that people find is often something they never thought they had and are taken by surprise when they come across it. If you have the right approach on difficult times, you can use them as a chance to grow as a person, as Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass did in their narratives. “Coming to an Awareness of Language” and “Learning to Read Write” tell the story of Malcolm X’s and Frederick Douglass’s struggles through challenges and how they used their own determination to achieve goals. In Malcolm X’s “Coming to an Awareness of Language” he narrates his experiences with language and how he broadened what he knew in…

    Future. That’s probably one of the scariest words I know. The future is unpredictable, it’s often wrapped in wrapping paper, ready to be opened and it can both be exciting and disappointing.

As soon as I was in middle school, I wanted to be one thing, a singer, I had decided that I liked singing enough for it to be a career, although my vocal range disagreed.…
