• Pampers

• crib
• car seat
• stroller
• high chair and the potty. It was one of those pottys that when she makes a siren goes off and it starts lighting up, then ends with that sound like the heavens have opened up. She would have loved that. Well anyway, I didn’t have my own place yet and my grandfather allowed me to put the gifts from the baby shower in his basement until I got my place and what does he do?

He climbs in the bulldozer and drives up Lisa’s walkway steps and porch. Who had to pay for that my grandparents? They continued to make up excuses for him, but he was coming to be a bit much for two people in their late 60’s so they tried a boarding school. Maybe that would straighten his butt out. That didn’t help either, he ended up serving two years in jail for robbery and by the time he got out he had missed the passing of our mother and grandmother. I guess that really tipped him over the edge because he ended up becoming one of the biggest drug dealers in Chicago. That road sent him to prison for life. It is said that he murdered someone. Sometimes I wonder, could I have done more. My grandparents were just too old to deal with him. Why couldn’t my siblings and I have a decent mother in a stable home that loved us and was devoted to her kids? She was truly the blame. Yes I know she didn’t make him by herself, but she couldn’t pick a good man, even if he wore a sign that said “Good Man”. I just think to myself was it the drugs, but he knew right from wrong. Out of all 7 of my siblings why is he the odd one? Before my mother died, she told me and my older brother to take care of him and I tried, but I couldn’t take him anymore so I washed my hands of him. My older brother still …show more content…
I’m sure my niece is growing up to be a smart and beautiful young lady because I know you would not have it any other way. I would like to ask you a question. Does your heart reject me? To hold grudges is a sin and is very unhealthy. I have wrote you several letters over the years pouring my heart out to you and telling you how sorry I was and that I have changed. You know it is important to forgive sis. Forgiveness doesn’t excuse the offensive things I’ve done to you over the years and I know some things are hard to let go and takeback but it’s a start. You may not believe me but I have changed and I wish you would allow me to show you the new me. I will continue to write you in hopes one day you might feel differently. Tell me niece I said hello. Til next

    Beauty matters. Well, at least for some. From the clothes you choose to wear (and the ones you don’t) to the items you own, everything surrounding you changes how people perceive you, even things completely out of someone’s control. Pressures to adhere to societal norms can cause long-term harm for certain people, but others can take this concept in stride. Due to different upbringings, along with different environmental influences, it allows for a range of perspectives.…

    Drug and alcohol use was a constant in my house. If it was not my real dad, then it was my step-dad. I do not know how personal I am supposed to get in this post, but I can remember countless times where my step-dad would get drunk and would then physically and mentally beat-up both my mother and older brother. I guess you could say that I was lucky that I was never physically abused like they were; however, I was mentally abused by him during his drunken state of mind. When I think about the past, I can still recall one of the worse times when I found my mom laying on the kitchen floor with blood all over her face and her hair on the ground.…

    The Boys and Girls Club, has brought so many opportunities into my life that have shaped me into the strong, hard working, role model I am today. At my club, I enjoy the luxury of the teen side with my friends, and participate in many leadership programs, such as Torch Club and now Keystone. I set an example for those looking up to me, and have even gotten the chance to mentor younger kids/help out my community by donating to numerous homeless shelters, and going to the accompany the seniors at senior homes.

    Everyone tells women they must dress a certain way and act a certain way. Girls are judged every day from their hair not being a certain style to their sexual life starting just as a young child. Commercials have shown women what they should look like, being a girl myself I’ve had an issue with my weight my whole life. With this being said, commercials show skinny girls that have small waist, nice breast, and the right size of a butt; this causes girls to want to change their bodies and it makes girls feel bad about themselves. Women have been changing their bodies and even their faces since the beginning of time.…

    When we were announced to break into two groups, those that feel privileged and those that feel non-privileged. In those few seconds, I knew we were going to be split up into girls and boys, however, I felt more accustomed to going with the guys then the girls, yet I stayed. It felt weird to say we were the oppressed group because we are women, yet I never felt that until I got into college. I never had to think about being a woman, only at times did I ask myself why was I born a woman. I think I felt weird due to being the oldest in my family, my family consists of my parents, my younger sisters and I.…
