Last weekend was parents weekend so I figured I would write this diary about how grateful I am for my parents. I am so lucky to have my parents. My parents are a great support for me to lean on when I am stressed, which is all the time in college. They are there to listen to me whenever I have a problem and provide an answer or just a caring shoulder to lean on. I know there are people in this very class who are not as lucky as I am to have their parents every single day like I do. I just want to say I’ m sorry for those people, because my parents have gotten me through almost all the troubles I have faced and plan to continue helping me throughout the future. I am very grateful I got to see my parents this past weekend. They brought a part

    Along my journey in school I remember all the sacrifices my parents did for me and my siblings. For example, my father Adolfo Garcia would work from Monday to Saturday from sun up to sun down in order to provide food on the table, clothing on our backs, and a roof over are heads. Although both of my parents encourage and motivate me to attend school and pursue higher education, I am also motivated by all the sacrifices they have made because I know that if it wasn’t for the support of my parents I would not be where I am…

    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 sat there in the hard seat of my desk and waited patiently. The scent of Lysol was overwhelmingly powerful in the room, but I knew by the third week it would be overpowered by the smell of musty children and chalk dust. I could not wait for my new teacher to saunter up to me, eyes full of admiration, and give me my paper. I had worked hard on it for nearly two months during the summer prior to this new school year. Looking around the room at my new classmates, it was easy to tell who had done the summer assignments, especially with their conspicuous faces.…

Mom’s outside with Aunt Grace talking about God knows what while the kids are inside the living room. I remember talking to my cousin Ronald about what we should do outside to either ride our bikes, walk around the neighborhood, play tag, just do something active since we were young with enthusiasm and optimism about what else is out there in life for children to do in their spare time.

    One year ago, on January seventh I learned not to take even some of the worst situations for granted. Sitting in the white minivan, I anxiously waited for my mom who stood on the porch pacing back and forth, while listening to my hungry, screaming little sisters. She received a phone call while we were walking out the door of the oral mouth surgeon, after getting a quote for the total price of the pulling of my sisters wisdom teeth would be. As I watched her, she had kept her back turned towards the wall , and I could feel something way down in the pit of my stomach. I looked back towards her and saw her coming down the stairs to the door to come get in the car, and I could tell she had been crying, even though she had her sunglasses to try and hide it.…

    I can remember my mother hugging us tightly with tears rolling down her face before letting us on the plane. It was my at the time 8 year old brother, 2 year old sister and I waving goodbye to mommy on Monday September 10th 2001. She cried out, “ see you guys in a few days, I love you!” As we walked on with our book bags my eyes became watery, stomach suddenly tight, and heart pounding. We approached our seats and there was no doubt that I had to let my little brother have the window seat.…

    One of the hardest things that I had to do when I was younger was leave my friends, my school, the place that I called home at the time. This memory all started on October 15, 2008, when my parents informed my sister and me that they would be taking jobs in Washington. At the time we were living in Naples, FL. Now this was a big shock for me, I had just found out that I would be moving across the country to a state that I knew nothing about. I would have to make all new friends, be able to fit in with everyone there.…
