It was a warm, pleasurable day of a Friday afternoon. I was super excited to go home from school and be able to see my friends and go the football game. I was sitting in Tech Ed around 11:30, and the phone rang. The teacher answered and told me I was getting picked up at 12. At that moment my whole life changed. I found out my niece was being born! My dad picked me up and we rushed to the hospital. We got to the hospital and I got to see my sister and my niece. She was the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes on weighing all of 6 pounds 7 ounces. The moment I was holding her looking into her eyes, I believed that abortion should be illegal.

My sister, Chelsea, was 19 when she found out she was having a baby. Chelsea was terrified, and there were so many options you could chose from to do with the baby. My sister went to go see a counselor at the Pregnancy Resource Center. My family and the counselor pushed keeping the baby or giving up the baby for adoption. So my sister went home, and decided to she wanted to keep the baby and raise it herself!

    I was ten years ago and I can still vividly remember sitting on an old, wooden rocking chair while the words of The Very Hungry Caterpillar trembled off my lips to a room full of second graders. I can recall the eagerness and excitement that filled their little faces as I flipped from page to page. There was an abundance of curiosity and desire to learn in that classroom that made me happy that I decided on skipping recess to read to the younger students. There was a fire that lit in my ten-year-old body that day. That was the day where I finally had an answer to all the “What do you want to be when you grow up?”…

    I had to choose before it was too late, so I made the heartbreaking decision to abort my unwanted child. There were so many thoughts that went through my head but it was a choice I had to make because the bad outweigh the good. What I mean by that is the reason I decided to abort my child was based on what would happen in the future. I would be that statistic of the black culture, being a single mother, I would be label as something I was not but I was a virgin, my family would have turn their backs on me, and also everyday if I was to give birth to a child that was conceived unwantedly, I would not even want to look at her/him in the face because it would remind of the brutal and disgusting thing that happen to me and I could not take…

    Between the ages of five and eight I resided in a predominately white, suburban, affluent community in upstate New York. My early literacy skills and development were impacted in a multitude of ways due to my immersion in a traditional family, with a stay at home mother and working father who parented authoritatively. As the provider of the family with a superiority complex, my father did not always provide kind ways of speaking, and valued a close knit family, using the close proximity of the Adirondacks to strengthen literacy development and cognitive strategies through questioning, researching, and gaining first-hand experience from outdoor activities. From my early childhood experience, the socioeconomic, sociocultural, and environmental…

    A significant challenge that occurred in my life began in May 2015, when my girlfriend and I discovered that she was pregnant. Because of our Catholic upbringing, we are both pro-life, so abortion was never an option for either of us. The only question was whether we were going to keep the baby, or give him or her up for adoption. After much deliberation, we decided that based on our situation, in which we had 2 sets of parents that were willing to help and support us in any way they could, we would keep the baby. A little over 9 months later, on January 20th, my now-fiancée (we got engaged in September) gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Ellis Benjamin Dapprich, 9 days after her due date and after more than 24 hours of induced labor.…

    To the Webster dictionary the noun anomaly defines as, “something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected”. In the entirety of my early educational career I have fluctuated between both sides of the deviation chart. When someone like me does not fit into a standard, I unintentionally created a dilemma for many of my previous teachers, parents as well as setting a personal goal for myself. Even though I had this problem, I had a drive to always help people in so matter or way. While, attending The New York City College of Technology I have reached a point where I can understand myself as a learner to then allow me to see that I want a career which helps people in any form.…
