    In many ways, individuals often struggle against their fears. The time I experienced this was when I used to ride steers a couple summers ago. It was a hot July day and my dad and I had just finished helping my Rodeo queen sister get ready for carrying flags to start off the rodeo. After when we walked over to the stands to get ready for their riding, I was gearing up to ride one of those beasts they call steers, thinking I was going to get killed.…

    Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

    In my earlier years of school, I dreaded going to school and I wasn’t skilled in public speaking. I had a terribly hard time talking to new people and often avoided social situations. These being among the traits many consider unfavorable, I passed up on great opportunities that I had been given due to their social aspect and the potential for me to embarrass myself. Starting my freshman year of highschool, I was aware that adjusting to an independent lifestyle where I worked a job and made my own money was one of my main priorities.…

    I can recall the beginning of my college exploration during my freshman year of high school. Straight out of middle school, college sounded like a crazy idea that only existed in dreams.

As a first generation college student, this all was something very foreign to me and my family— but I was intrigued by it.…

    It was the night before the first day of school, a new school in fact, and I was pretty eager and excited for the following day. I wasn’t sure whether to be thrilled or nervous, not knowing how my day would turn out. A few weeks prior, Mom had taken me to the store right down the block and we bought all new school supplies, so I was ready, prepared, and once again, excited. My parents were gracious enough to allow me to finish the year off, instead of transferring me to Woodland High School in the middle of the year. They knew it would be hard enough for me to switch schools, let alone in the middle of the year.…

    I have lived my life between two worlds; one of fiction and fantasy where the goal is doubtlessly achieved and the reward outweighs all costs, the other world is filled with disappointment, rare glimpses of true satisfaction, yet it contains my being. The fictional world has satisfied my need for hope during times of great disappointment caused by the latter. My reality has been a girl and her mother fighting against my pain, while others would ignore or deny its constant existence. Throughout high school, I would sit in various waiting rooms hoping for something to change and too often nothing did. My only escape was the brief moments where I was somewhere else completely.…
