As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…

I remember that day; as the color drains from my face, and I feel a mild unease creeping up my throat. The words at the tip of my tongue, shuffling inside my mouth. The image crumpled up not as vivid as before, just the ambiance of black and white, but I could still feel my surroundings. Not the way you do when you reach out to touch the object in front you of you with your bare hands, no, I can feel the surroundings like the walls closing in on me. Laying in distress as its ceaseless lesson on this broken record stuck on the same note.…
