Every person knows that when they were younger they wanted to hurry and grow up. Having dreams of being somebody who usually played a big part in the community. Some of our dreams changed throughout the years, some didn’t. Mine did. First, it was a singer, next, it was a firefighter, then a chef, and now it’s a dental hygienist.…
A giant. A giant is a mythological beast that is supposed to be larger than any human ever will be. A giant is supposed to be very strong and muscular. A giant is supposed to not be real, but there is. His name is Chris Leprechaun.…
Growing up in a family that did not communicate that much, I was not very close with my mother of father. My mom and I did tend to talk more but not about personal things in our life. Me and my dad however always fought. I have a few good memories with him (he loved teaching me how to make home made biscuits.) which I always enjoyed on those rare occasions he was in a good mood. But, 90% of the time we were fighting.…
My family of origin was comprised of my parents, myself, and my younger brother. David was born three years after me, and we filled the functional roles of “oldest child” and “youngest child” perfectly. As described by McGoldrick, Gerson, & Petry (2008), “oldest children are likely to be the over responsible and conscientious ones in the family” (p.126). I was always expected to perform academically and conduct myself with high moral standards. I did as was expected, and I do not remember ever questioning the situation.…
When I was about ten years old, I was camping in Lake Eaton. It had been fourth of July weekend. On July third, I was playing man hunt in the dark with a handful of my close friends. I was being chased; all of a sudden, I was on the ground. I didn’t realize what had happened until I felt the excruciating pain traveling down my arm seconds after the fall.…
I want to always be filled with joy and let the light of God show through me in all that I do. I want to build a strong family full of love, honesty, and respect. My dream started out at a young age. When I was little, I often moved from home to home in a foster care system until eventually my aunt got full custody of me. Granted, I did not live with my birth parents, but life was good.…
Dreams are shaped by ideals as families shape the beliefs we grasp strongly. The sacrifices and struggles of my family are what have shaped me to be the person I am today, therefore I have dedicated my path as a first generation Hispanic student to my family. My family and I were born in Guadalajara, Mexico. After three and a half years of living there, my family decided to seek a promising future in The United States.…
My situation is very similar to the one of Pablo and Bruno’s in such a way that I have always dreamed of excelling and continuing to be persistent so that my goals would be attainable! I always shared my thoughts and notions with close family and friends, however sometimes they weren’t as enthusiastic as I was about my own idea. There were times I was fightened, let down and even discouraged, but that never once misled me to the path Ive paved on my own. While, I was living in Georgia, not going very far an opputunity came for me to move back to Florida. Without hesitation I took the offer, so I could better educate myself at Florida SouthWestern State College.…
There was once a family of five. This holiday would be full of pain and misery, for the wife and children have lost one of their loved ones. Once upon a time they were the happiest family in town but all good things must come to an end at some point. The Jones’s family were all excited for the upcoming christmas which was a few weeks away. The family consisted of Mary the wife and Bob the father with their three children the oldest being Ryan a 16 year old outstanding multiple sport athlete, Darcy being the only girl is 9 year old that gets whatever she wants, the youngest being Ben a 5 year old.…
I remember the question from my kindergarten class like it was yesterday, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Of course at the time, I wanted to be a princess, vet, rock star, teacher, or doctor. I’d stand up, proud with a smile on my face, and rattle off the list. Looking back on that moment in time, I would’ve never guessed what my dream was going to be. I was always the kid looking to help others, go the extra mile, make adjustments, and put a smile on your face.…
A time in my life when I have attempted to fulfill my dreams was when I was in Juarez, Mexico at about 3 years of age. Trying to survive in the nasty, horrifying streets wasn’t easy but I managed to not give up. It all started when I was 3 years old and my older brother was 7. We grew up together without a house, without food to eat and without clothes.…
Dreams may come in many forms but a couple of my biggest dreams is to graduate with honors. I’m going to go back to school! Why not learn while I’m there? Like I said earlier in my essay dreams are very hard to obtain and may even be laughed at. Another dream is to put all my kids through college but I face challenges putting myself through college.…
There 's only one thing I dream of and it’s to be successful in life. Whether it’s with soccer or my education/career goals, my main goal is to be successful and to be someone in this world. I am currently a sophomore at Mission Hills High School and for me, going to college is a dream that is yet to be fulfilled. I come from a hispanic/mexican background and no one in my family has had the opportunity to go to a college or a university due to the need of money. I was born in Mexico and was 1 year old when my mom and I came here to the United States around 2001 and since then I believe my mom and I have lived a better life.…
I had the opportunity to have an extensive conversation with my father, Karl Kurrle, about his managerial experience conducted throughout his life. I have looked up to him my entire life, learning and applying business skills that he has taught to me, but I have not delved into his managerial experience previously. His management duties has surpassed 30 years of collective expertise, and we talked about it in great detail. Mr. Kurrle started his managerial duties in the military after his secondary education.…
As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street. Often I found myself getting into trouble because I didn 't listen and also the fact that I always found some kind of way to slipping out of having to doing something that I knew I was supposed to do. But out of all the people in my family my mom was the strictest. When expectations set high, not meaning them meant my siblings and I typical had a week long cleaning punishments along with handing over all toys, games, and light up sneakers; about three times a week this happened to me.…
