An Average Indian Kid’s Very Ordinary Life Story
When I sit back and consider the significant events in my past, the important aspects of my current life, and my future goals, I realize how diverse the things in my life have been. So today you will be learning about my origin story. I was birthed on September 14, 2000 and was later named Sri Vishnu. My life was very calm with no major bumps in the road until 2011; the year I moved to the US. My family is made up of my mother, father, and a brother and we moved to the U.S about 3.5 years ago. I encountered my first minor taste of people’s intolerance when kids at my school weren't too supportive at my poor command of English, so I had no friends and did very poorly in school. As fast as I could,

In the process, I made new friends from a lot of different cultural backgrounds.

So let's talk about the genesis of me, the very average origin story of Sri Vishnu Jayakumar. So i can’t really talk about the commencement of my life because I wasn’t an entirely conscious being until like the age of six. But my earliest memories date back to chapter two of my life (I will be dividing the years I’ve spent on this Earth by chapters). So even though I don't know my own beginning, these are the most intriguing early events in my life. But these events aren’t that interesting because as the title points out, the first few chapters of my origin story are very boring and “average”.When I was born my parents didn’t know what to name me, but what’s an origin story without the character receiving a name am I right? So just like

Well my life is mostly filled with very sad moments but I saved the worst ones for the last. So moving to a different country was always a discussion in my family for a long due to the higher wages and more money means happier life. Right? My answer is no because my family was already doing well financially so leaving everything behind for a higher paycheck seemed pretty unneeded to me. But I never took the topic serious and thought that it was never going to happen. But one day when I came back home after school during sixth grade, my mom told me that she has something to tell me and told me that we were going to move to the U.S. in two months. At first I was excited because America is known to be one of the biggest attractions in the world so I was thinking about all the really big theme parks like Universal Studios and thing like that, but then it hit me that my told me that we were going to “move” to America but not go for vacation. Then I realized how I have to spend my whole life there if this happened. So after all the mixed emotions, I started to cry and got very moody after that. I also became to know that I had to redo sixth grade from the beginning due to the different times summer is over in the two places so I stopped caring about school and started to do very bad because there was no real point in doing good. After two months, the day we had to move was very emotional

    Story Of An Hour

    • 1130 Words

    In the opening of “The Story of an Hour?” by Kate Chopin, we are introduced with the death of Brently Mallard whose wife, who also has heart trouble, is about to hear the saddening news. On the other hand, in the concluding paragraph, the doctors conclude with the wife’s death from heart disease, “of joy that kills”. Therefore what is ironic is the fact that in the end the wife turned out to be dead and not the husband, Mr. Mallard, although throughout the story Chopin made it seem as if the husband was dead. The discrepancy in the story is that Chopin had said that the husband had died in a railroad disaster, which as we now know was false, while the wife’s death turned out to be indeed true. Moreover, in the introduction, we see also see…
