Cancer Sticks You said you love me. From the moment you said that, those words became my bible, and I worship it until the moment our ship began to sink. My heart was broken like the family I come from. I never liked opening myself to people and letting people in, because I know people are only out for themselves, and will only hurt me.…

Journal #3(Elementary School) From the first punch to the final insult, elementary school was by far the worst experience of my life. I remember being physically assaulted all the way back in kindergarten, taking punches from two imbeciles named Anthony and Carmelo. The teacher never did anything to stop the bullying, all she would ever do is tell them they weren't being nice. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that no one would help me; after all, it's human nature to turn the other way when confronted with a conflict.…
Two years ago I was a completely different person. That may sound like a complete exaggeration, but looking back on the person who carried my name two years ago, it is shockingly true. Two years ago, I was the quiet, overweight, anxious girl who avoided social interaction as if it was the plague. Needless to say, I was not the most confident or outgoing person out there. I let my anxiety disorder rule my life, and let my weight be an excuse as to why I couldn’t do certain things.…

A time in my life when I had to overcome adversity was when I was in the second, third, and fourth grade. Everybody used to say I look like a boy and I have a deep voice for a girl. I was used to get so mad and be so sad because deep down I knew it was true, but I did not want people talking about me. My classmates would whisper, look at me, and laugh I hated it so much.…
Throughout my childhood, adults frequently questioned me on whether or not I fit the stereotype of the only child. I have been asked if I was spoiled and bossy more times than I can count. In a way, I feel that I did fit this stereotype as a child, but I also feel at one time or another every child believes the world revolves around them. My family has described my younger self as being very defiant and strong-willed. I regularly did not listen to any of the tasks authority figures asked me to do, and instead I would stare at them and continue to do whatever I wanted.…
I was always shy when I was younger. Ever since I was born in Ma An Shan, a small city in China, I avoided strangers. This temperament of mine did not change when I immigrated to the United States. My first day of preschool was filled with tears as it was an unfamiliar setting. Even from an early age, I had no desire to interact with the other children nor to make friends.…
