    During my school age years, I attended Lakeview Elementary. I still go and visit the teachers and staff I had every once in awhile because they mean so much to me. Some other things I really enjoyed in school was having reading buddies, field day, and the Fridays in 5th grade when my teacher would play the guitar. At the end of the second grade, I started to get really sick with headaches, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Over the next few years, I saw many doctors and was diagnosed with migraines which may be from the car accident and last the rest of my life.…

    When I got on the SEPTA 66 bus from Frankford Transportation Center, it was just another plain day for me. I spent a hearty amount of my day enjoying my biology class and falling asleep in my computer class. When I would get home, I’d either take a nap or try to do some homework for my online courses. I stepped on the bus, swiped my transpass, and sat at my usual spot on the bus; the three seater facing the backdoor. I see that across from me, there was a girl in a maroon catholic high school uniform on her phone.…

    My response to sexual assault stands out among the personal accomplishments of which I am proudest. For over a year, I struggled in therapy to learn to control the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I took solace in the relationships I forged at school: I revered my professors and met several like-minded peers who became friends. Despite everything, I made the Dean’s list for that Spring semester. I devoted myself to my work in the Writing Center, even volunteering to visit undergraduate classes as a guest lecturer.…

    “You won’t amount to anything…you’re too small…you can compete with us”. For my whole life I have been hearing those words from my peers to adults, coaches and the list goes on. During my school career it was a breeze until I got to middle school. Once I hit the sixth grade the name calling and constant judging from the seventh and eighth graders started. However, what really struck me with disbelief was how my “friends” started to treat me, as if joining in on the banter was “cool” and did it to fit in with the older/cooler kids.…

    I guess that I was always different from other people from the very start. I 'm not referring to my teenage ‘woe is me ' years, but since I was old enough to remember I was fundamentally unlike anyone my age. The way I thought and felt at that age was rather off. Much too intense and apathetic, yet I was still the best-behaved child in the household. I can 't recall much of my childhood and nothing at all from before the age of 6.…
