    GROWING UP Growing up, I didn’t have many luxuries, if any. The best thing I had was being a 5 minute walk away from a convenience store. The house I grew up in was infested with cockroaches and was falling apart within the walls. The dining room was so small, some of us had to eat on the floor. We only had three bedrooms, so my three younger siblings had to sleep in the living room.…

    Growing up is tough. Every day people go through life with careers that they may not enjoy. Throughout the past few weeks I got the opportunity to interview two people about their jobs, one being a young adult who just started working, while the other was approaching her mid-life with an established career. The advice from both of these individuals was both eye opening and helpful. The age of the interviewee definitely influenced the responses I received.…

    Like many people, I have a reason for almost all of my thoughts and actions, but at a major turning point in my life this changed as did many of my other unique qualities. Before this, I had always kept a positive and secure mind, but I had never thought of the repercussions of keeping my true emotions unexpressed. Feelings of anger and rage (like those of a coming-of-age story), were all that filled my mind at this time, and it was directed towards everyone, not just those who caused it. The worst part of having these feelings was the fact that I kept them locked inside giving no way to express them. I began arguing with my parents, friends, God, and even myself.…

    I was not used to being clueless. Just as for many teenagers, when I got my license a new world was open to me. This was certainly a world where I had more freedom, and I had to learn how to navigate it, in more ways than one. Learning how to communicate with my parents as an adult was not easy. My new found freedom came with the catch of proving to them that I would be responsible and reliable.…

A wise Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” This quote is an excellent way to describe my experience in high school.…

    Growing Up Too Fast Some children have to grow up too rapidly. What I mean is that some people’s families might not be there, with them, so they have to do everything by themselves. Children whe live in the “hood” are usually the people who grow up too quickly . I say this because they have to be tougher to survive, their parents aren't there, or they aren't with them when the children need them.…

    Growing up in the late 80s through the 90s seemed like such a long time ago. I grew up in a one story house which consisted of myself, my mother, older brother and sister. I was the baby of the family so evenings consisted of arguments with my siblings, dinner, and followed by sports or playing outside. On Fridays after school, I would head to the west side of Columbus for the weekend to spend time with my father, grandmother and other paternal relatives that lived nearby. I loved the time I spent out west with my father.…
