When I kicked my ball into my neighbor's yard, she grabbed my ball and set fire to it. My neighbor’s name is Rambet. She thinks that she’s Rambo’s sister. She taught me how to cook a snake, hot wire a car and break into a house. Once I was locked out of my house.…
I refrain from making hasty decisions, a trait that’s made it easier to manage time and keep my life organized. It’s not that I don’t enjoy some spontaneity, just that I’ve had experience with faulty planning. I like to consider as many details and possible outcomes of a situation before making a decision; in fact, I believe it’s my best characteristic. Thinking things through allows me to make sound, satisfying choices in both my academic and social life. It is a practice that has saved me from careless mistakes on math tests and kept my activities.…
In life, people face decisions that can change life, either in a positive way or in a negative one. In my life, there’re some times that I challenged an idea and I’ve got to stop and to think what decision would be the best for me. Any choice would be a path to reach an important goal in my life, which is live abroad. So, I’ve got to decide either to stay in Brazil or come over to United States, specifically United States, leaving my lovely mother at home. But I have overcome it all so far.…
I can not imagine how you must feel right now. I am sincerely sorry for my actions Friday December 11 .That later on ended up injuring Taylor. I wish there was more I could at this point. Even tho I did not throw the rock at her I feel fully responsible for the whole thing.…
I managed to reach a point where I began making false promises to myself and others about addressing my situation. Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track. I even fiddled with the thought of seeking inpatient assistance if things weren't working as planned. Let's be clear and fair.…
I learned how to be independent and, I definitely matured. I started to do many things on my own because it was not all about me anymore. With doing things on my own I did not need my mother as much anymore because, I was in that stage where I thought I knew it all. A few years down the road my grandma had another daughter and I babysat her all the time, so I felt like her second mom, not her niece. With having a younger brother, and aunt, I tried to act like their second mom.…
but I act like I’m not and it will seem as if I were confident. I’m shy and at times it can be hard for me to make friends because society wants us young women to be skinny, great bodies. I’m a sensitive person but, I act tough, so people cannot hurt…
My father has been in the military for 30 years. His career has taken him and my family, to every corner of the world. The Air Force is a demanding career path to choose; often the spouse is left with the full weight of the chores to be done on the home front. During the course of my upbringing these duties were, in part, delegated to my sisters and I. While we never experienced “a life of almost tropical idleness’ (CITATION) like the children of Jane Smiley, we became effective and efficient members of our house hold. We learned to respect our house and our family.…
This is how injured my knee and learned and gained more independence. So it was just a normal day chilling on the couch playing video games after school on a friday with no plans. BUZZ! My phones starts vibrating and I lean over and check my phone, a text from Riley and I read “hey my brother has a friend over wanna play 2v2 bball” I respond “omw”. So I get there…
At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
The first thing I noticed was the color. It was faded in one section. The different layers were now becoming visible. The pattern of the couch reminded me of it. I sat in the spot.…
My whole life I’ve been a little different. From the clothes I wear and the way I present myself, to the way I look at the world, I’ve always been somewhat peculiar. Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…
It all began in the 6th grade. There I was, casually walking through the hallways, oblivious to what was about to happen. As I turned a corner, a brightly colored flyer caught my attention. On it were the words, “CHOIR TRYOUTS--DISCOVER YOUR PASSION FOR SINGING.” The next few moments could only be described as my personal “aha-moment.”…
Nature is your genetics and how your parents were when they were little. Sam and Anais were twins and they were separated at birth. They both hated to be touched by the shower curtain, have the same laugh, and both liked the same drink. Twins Jan and Filler both like swimming, both think alike. Bonnie and Brenda were alike in many ways.…
Taylor Moment of Decision Narrative It was a typical day: sunny morning, dew on the grass; a good summer day. It started out fine: take the dog out, my mom leaving for work, to leave later to go shopping with my sister. I was going to be alone at home today, it seemed. I was home alone most of the day, and played with my dog a lot-he’s quite energetic.…
