Improved Essays
Take the bad for an experience.
As a child, I believed that family would always be together as one forever and live happily ever after. Sounds about correct, right? For me, this statement is something that I rarely remembered. During a time in my life that should've been filled with laughter, going out with friends and having fun, I was picking up pieces to a emotional part of my life. In the year of 2012, I experienced major death for the first time which lead to many changes. My life changed completely and made me the person I am today. My mother, a loving-caring, always positive individual, hard working role model had an unexpected pass from cancer.
Being the age of 12 feeling about 32, I didn't understand most things. How did my life

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

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…
