Mother Teresa

To make his mother unsuspicious, he told her that he became a successful DJ in the neighborhood. She believed him but Tony didn’t so they fought. To make his brother from following the people in the streets he “had tried to keep Wes in school and away from drugs for as long as Wes could remember” (pg.71). Wes didn’t listen to his brother because his brother was also into selling drugs and it brought easy cash. Wes later left his mother’s house to his girlfriend’s house because his mother took…

My Mother Living with my mother was like living in that ridiculous travel channel show where they eat bizarre food and act like it taste great by resisting the temptation to wrinkle their faces. Seemed to me like there was a certain cell in their brain that was missing, I think it’s called ‘’eat this and you might die’’, cell. My mother is tall and blond with a beautiful smile and her laugh can make anyone happy. She wasn’t always into eating healthy and staying young and beautiful…

A Season I took a step outside and could smell the crisp air of autumn. It was a windy day and my heart was pounding. I knew something was about to happen, but unsure of the outcome that lay ahead. I was with the person that makes my world keep going around, my mom. Literally without my mom and her family I would not be where I am today. We had just gone to church and were getting ready to leave the house for a little bit. When out of nowhere in the boondocks of Bremen, came a knock at the…

Minors to Moguls The mere idea of being raised by only one parent seemed not only impossible, but also very strange at one point in time. As time goes on this seems to grow more common and dominantly. Today many of the world’s most successful children and young adults are results of one parent and two parent households. Do children really need both parents to thrive? Arguments that a boy needs his father around to learn how to be a man are most commonly present. Raising a well-rounded child…

F.A.S.T is the abbreviation I promised my 10 year old self that I will remember from now on. I promised to know the signs of a stroke and know how to save someone from ending up like my mother did. It was one of those sunny yet mucky day when my mother and I were riding in her green lincoln on our way to pick up my friend. On that day I realized that I would never forget the signs of a stroke again. “Are you ready love?” are the words my mom spoke as we prepared to get in the car and head to…

My sisters Leah and Gabby had a similar situation going back and forth between their father’s and our mom’s houses. They decided that they didn’t want to live with our mother anymore. I wouldn’t know until I was 20, but apparently my mom had conversations about being suicidal with them. There must have been other reasons too, but they didn’t want to live in an environment with someone like that. Presley and I idolized…

September 11, 2001 was a day that shook America to its core, but to me, it had little meaning. Though, it probably should have. My dad is a pilot for United Airlines and he was piloting a flight on this dreadful day. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he was in the air, he was in the same airspace as the hijackers that took over the first plane to hit the towers. He, eerily, heard their voices on the radio. I was in Mrs. Seitz’s second grade class. She was a short, intense lady who never…
