WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? DID THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I HAD DONE?"

we then go to the local graveyard in Mississippi to find his grave and i search every grave for my fathers but it was no where to be found so we drive to the gas station that was near by but run into our family and asked if they knew where he was buried, they then replied "who told you he as dead? he is at home with your brothers"

    Ted's wishes By jacob Kothe When it comes to driving a stick shift manual car, you can get a little stressed out. What I mean by that when you're driving around the neighborhood with your instructor (my dad) he makes you turn, a lot stop on hills, and insures that you stop at a stop sign, when you think that he insures that you stop at stop signs you think of something else. You have to go up to the sign and push down on the clutch. And stop at the sign press down the gas and slowly let off the clutch. You would think that's pretty easy, but if you overload the transmission, then your car dies, you have to start it back up and if you you let of the clutch off to fast the car starts bouncing and won't stop bouncing so you just keep bouncing.…

    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 grant the adoption?…

    Growing up roughly ten minutes away from Fort Bragg, the nations largest military base, I have been blessed throughout my life with the special opportunity to witness firsthand the commitment it takes to constantly put others above oneself, and no person in my life has resembled this selflessness more than my father. Enlisting in the United States Army at the age of eighteen, my father would serve his country for 28 years during a time period that would take him across the globe, including two tours in Iraq. However, even with all of the time away from home, my father still managed to always spend time with me and to teach me how to become a better person. No matter the situation, my father would never complain, and he has always been the perfect example in my life of what it truly means to let go of oneself for the benefit of others. As for my mother, who is an immigrant from Panama, words cannot even begin to describe the sacrifices that she has made for me and my family.…

    Losing my father at a young age did not only take a toll on me, but my 3 siblings as well. Death can sometimes break a family apart, but for mine it did the opposite. A person will not understand how tough losing a parent is until it is experienced. Then again, no one knows the joy of gaining a parent either. I am strong because I have lost, and I am successful because I have gained.…

With my One Direction CD clutched in my hands, I started to close the distance by walking towards his car. I opened the door and slipped in, and then he started to drive to the grocery store. At the time I was under the illusion that my dad would be even slightly happy to see me, but no.…
