My Life

senators, and became doctors was the life everyone hoped to live. I loved living in a cultivated family, because I knew if I ever needed something, there was always someone to run to. One particular person in my family changed my outlook on life. That person was my uncle, one of the only doctors in South Georgia that helped cure a disease in 2002. I knew he was smart and I knew I could count on him to always be there. I took his presence for granted. Having a doctor in my family made me feel…

Beyond the Forest I rolled out of bed and yawned. I decided to go horseback riding so I could see the morning sunrise. I threw on some dark green riding clothes (because that’s my favorite color) and ran out the door. I walked the familiar path and I was almost at the stable when I heard footsteps making their way toward me. Without turning around I yelled, “Adrian I know you 're behind me!” The footsteps stopped, I heard a swish and before I could blink, Adrian was upside down hanging…

Life is not always easy, especially when hard times hit, but when that happens, you need ways to get your mind off of what is going on, these are a few things that help me. In the past sixteen years of my life I have been given unconditional love and support from my mom no matter what situation has occurred.

You ever had a moment in your life that changes it forever? A moment that gave you a new perspective about the world or even about yourself? I had one of those moments in my life and what I learned about myself changed my mentality forever. An ordinary family trip to the zoo had turned into a life changing event that I would never expect to deal with at 10 years old. This is how my perspective changed forever. It was a rather normal drive to the San Diego zoo. The highway ran near the ocean…

Have you ever wanted that certain someone to make a profound impact on your life that you will never forget? A teacher that was willing to go above and beyond to show that they weren 't there to just get paid that they truly cared? An enforcer, not just someone to give the work, but sit there and make sure it gets done in class. Janis Butler is indeed a teacher who impacted my life in high school by going above and beyond to make sure her students had everything they needed, and that they…

One influence in my life that has shaped me is my background. When I was a young girl, my family and I lived in Dandora slums in a single room, which was both the living room and my parents’ bedroom with a curtain separating the two. My two siblings and I shared a small bedroom, which we also used as a kitchen. While in Dandora, we shared a community bathroom different households in the compound. A few years later, we moved from Dandora slums to Kariobangi South slums, a low-income residential…

Although there are highs and low in my life, I like taking on the challenges by learning from my mistakes. Many people think that higher education is important element for a fulfilling life because with education, a person has the ability to demonstrate his/ her work to people. I think that along with education, there are many more elements that help a person to be successful. There are…

Throughout my life I’ve had numerous obstacles, but their was one where the repercussions changed the person I was to become. At first it felt as though the negative outweighed the good, but when I realized what I was capable of doing the good eventually surpassed the bad. When I was 8 years old I was rushed to the emergency room because my whole body became paralyzed in an instant. Being a child I didn’t know what was happening to me. All I could feel was my families, and my own, panic as I…

values were instilled in my siblings and I from a young age. These values were shaped through the influence of religion and example.

Growing up I always knew that I wanted to love someone the way my mother loves my father. The…
