10 Years

longer fight. However, I was not always like this. The person that is me now is not the same person born on the 28th of May, 2000. That was me fifteen years ago on the day I took my first breath. Nor am I the same person from just a year back. I am Samar. Fifteen years, three months and eleven…

only that, but I also surprised my parents, who firmly believed that I was a liberal arts student given that they had both majored in literature and language and my dad having failed physics in university, when I received a subject award for Science 10. In grade 11, my plans for the future became clearer and more specific, impelling me to work harder. I had become one of those kids whom I could never sympathize with (the kids who get disappointed for losing a mark on a test) or according to many…

fairly small, they’re probably between 1,200 to 2,800 square feet. I have a wide variety of people in my neighborhood. The neighbors across the street are a middle aged couple, I think the guy owns a plumbing company. My next door neighbor is a 30-40 year old single guy, who travels the globe. I’m not sure what his position is but I know he works for Chrysler. As mentioned above, I live in Rochester, MI. My larger community is filled with much entertainment, from shopping, to eating, parks,…

I became literate at a very young age around one or two years old and people could understand what I wanted. For example, bolitas (meant balls in Spanish) cooked beans and no bolitas was refried beans. I had a way of commutating with my family but sometimes I would forget what the word was and I used to describe the item itself. They would eventually understand what I mean. Unlike one of the cases in Deborah Brandt’s Sponsors of Literacy, I did not have a tutor or anything like that. However, I…

Accept what is, Let go of what was, and faith in the will be.” As my life’s journey has just begun, as a young adult I have bigger and more responsibilities than any 19 old year. I have taken over a role of being a care giver for my two younger sisters. I started in my junior year of high school. It’s a beautiful experience to watch them go, as I proceed to interactive job related complications. In my next three paragraphs, I’m to talk about building my confidence, job related complex situations…

when I was a little kid was to be a fast typist. When I got to 7th grade, the first class I chose was computer applications because typing looked fun. I was good at following the instructions, but I was very slow at typing. At the beginning of the year there were many students racing and were already…

Little did I know that three years ago would be my last single, pregnant-free, child-free New Years Eve celebration. Boy am I glad that I got all the fun out in my younger years! Since that time, I got married and pregnant quickly there after, so the past two New Years Eve celebrations were spent quite differently. Some of us lucky few are actually able to obtain babysitters and go out and celebrate like we did before the responsibility of parenting came. I have not been fortunate enough to…
