I was unbothered, no one cared so much about me. It was like I was fully drained like when people get the flu, completely dull. I was forgotten by my family like a dog who’s been abandoned. Depression at its finest. When I was younger my father died from a heart attack. I remember being in the second grade, leaving his home crying my eyes out. I knew it was his time to go, I felt it in my soul. Imagine a little girl crying her eyes out because she felt like something tragic was going to happen. And it did. That day, that week in the second grade my life changed forever. Flash forward to the seventh grade, I become excessively depressed. I remember it like it was yesterday. I use to never talk to my family, barely talk to anyone at school and if I did, I was angry with them because I was angry with the world. During this time of my life I never thought I would feel so vacant. Usually at this age you’re supposed to have no …show more content…
My mother, this strong beautiful women that I admire, helped me through one of the worst times in my life. My mother never realized how depressed I was until she saw the marks on my wrist left by pain. I never actually told anyone how much pain I felt until I got help. I remember, it was Thanksgiving and my mother and I were getting ready to leave when she noticed the marks on my arm and was full of anger. She screamed at the top of her lungs and asked me over and over again ‘why I did that to myself.’ I had tears streaming down my face, speechless. I thought about saying “because I want to die,” but I didn’t have the strength to say it outloud. I remember, running to my room to get away from her, so I could be alone and never leave my room again. After what felt like hours of endless crying she came into my room, sat down and hugged me. “ I love you Kai, I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. You’re my baby. I will do anything and everything to help you,” she said hugging me

    I sat there in the doctor’s office at the ripe old age of 8. I was trying to figure out what the doctor had just said, “You have been diagnosed with severe anxiety, severe depression, insomnia and ADHD.” So I am going to be freaking out all the time and always be sad and can’t concentrate on anything for the rest of my life? I just knew that day was going to be the last day I would ever be able to live my life normally. I had recently made a huge move from Washington to Colorado, and my life was spiraling downhill.…

    On the sixth of May, in nineteen ninety eight, there was a major change in my family. That change was a baby named Tyler. I haven’t been around for very long, but I have witnessed many things. In my 17 years, I have witnessed the fall of the twin towers, the election of the first African American president, Bin Laden captured, and many other things. I have learned that family comes first and that you should enjoy every moment with them, because everything can change in the blink of an eye.…

    Regardless of the fact that I have lived near the beach all my life, it’s not often I go on a long walk on a beach similar to the Smith Point County Park; nor have I witnessed the effects of a storm to such an extent in my life. A few of the major sections of the beach have been devastated due to the recent storms. These storms caused waves that have done remarkable damage to the point that I was having difficulty walking from the incline it created, days later it remains to cause an issue. The most chilling of all is how the dunes are slowly being worn down, from the constant bombardment of large waves from storms like Hurricane Sandy. Even though hurricanes are known for destroying our homes.…

    My right foot slams on the brakes as my ears register the sound of metal on metal. I throw my car into reverse, before jumping out to assess the damage. An otherwise pristine, navy blue BMW is blemished, two chips of paint missing to reveal the white plaster underneath. Acutely aware of the crowded parking lot, I revert to autopilot, parking my car with the careful precision I had not employed since my license test six months earlier. I slowly crawl out of my car to peek at the scratch one more time.…

    Many people go through life thinking that intelligence is static. Many think that people are simply born with certain skills; they either have them, or they don’t. After all, the only way to be smart, is to be born with it, right? Or is there more to it than that? It only makes sense that the brain, being like any muscle in the human body, would work identically to say, a bicep; the more you condition it, the more it will thrive, and the more it will expand.…

    A week into Fall, and the temperature was still lulling at 90 degrees, like the mosquitos that swayed comfortably above the bayou that ran for miles outside my English II class. The bayou would eventually diverge by my neighborhood. In class, the philosophical discussion on the Power of One by Bryce Courtenay also diverged. If Peekay could reach compos mentis (full command of one’s mind) after years of training, epitomized by a drunken bar fight, when would we ambitious students scrawled across plastic chairs and creaking wooden tables, reach compos mentis? Was it in adulthood, after college, or after the birth of our first child?…

    On a blistering cold Saturday morning in November, my parents and I traveled north to see the 150th meeting between Lehigh and Lafayette at Yankee Stadium. My sister, a Lehigh freshman at the time and already in The Big Apple for the weekend, was texting pictures of the excitement. The NYSE, the Empire State Building, and the subway crowds all sporting brown and white. How could this small university from Bethlehem capture the attention of the greatest city in the world? Then it hit me… it was all about tradition.…

    It seems like yesterday when my thoughts had completely consumed my every move, and my sadness ultimately annihilated my will to live. Every day felt like the last; I had woken up reluctantly with a feeling of complete emptiness. I was, essentially, a “walking zombie”numbed of all emotion. Over the previous months of my senior year is when the bullying had started, and it seemed like it had really never ended. Even when I was at home and my peers had stopped, the comments ran through my head and tormented me every single night.…
