As far back as I can remember, I recall mixing up certain letters in the alphabet. I had difficulty with sounds, which made it really hard for me to write with accuracy. With extra help from the “Learning Lab” in elementary school I was able to just barely get by but I always found myself behind everyone my own age. My memories from being in the Learning Lab were really traumatizing at the time. I was always singled out, and pulled from the class to get extra attention that I did not appreciate…
I stood there drying my hands from doing the dishes, I peered from my spot in the kitchen just in time to see the blank, ghostly white look come across on my father 's face. As I look back to that night, that memory is the first that comes to mind; the beginning of the series of event that would have an impact on my life as a teenager. My sister, Bobbi, lived the typical eldest child childhood. She was adored by my grandparents, worried and argued with her younger siblings, and rebelled as a…
I was born on July 1 to a mother who loved me dearly and a father who was not active in my life at that time. During this time, my mother was facing a lot of medical issues that restricted her from breastfeeding me. I don’t remember much about the earliest parts of childhood, but all I can remember is what has been told to me over the years. I was always told that I was a short little chunky baby who had to get hair bows taped to my hair, so others could know if I was a girl or a boy. From the…

(Pg. 4-5) This quote shows how Sookan depends on the protection of her family…
It all began on December 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. I was said to be a fair, polite, and behaving child, besides the fact that my mother was quite cold. I mostly lived with my intelligent persistent father that single handedly founded Amherst Academy, was your father that innovative? I lived in a non wealthy household that attended a Calvinist church regularly. The lifestyle I lived shaped me into the soft spoken woman I lived to be. When I was younger I was just like every other girl I…

As long as I can remember, my life has been surrounded by music. Since birth, my mother has played jazz. In the car, around the house, I was surrounded. As a small child, I was delighted when my mom bought a piano for our house, and I randomly pressed keys on the piano until I stumbled across a soothing sound. At the age of 9, I picked up a clarinet. As anyone would imagine, a fourth grader picking up an instrument for the first time, I didn't sound too great, but after weeks of my bands 6 a.m.…
Now that I am growing into a young adult my mother is able to say to me things that I would not have understood as a child. One day she had told me about the day I was born. I was born six and a half weeks early, and I was held in the neonatal intensive care unit in the hospital. At the hospital my parents had to watch me surrounded by doctors when I was suppose to be in their arms. The doctors told them that I was going to be tested for Down Syndrome. A wave of emotions went through my head…

Ohocinco was at school and when it was time for recess he went to the back of the playground. He sat…
