it is a good idea thus, my congratulation is a few days slower. However, hope you enjoyed your day. I know I already apologised nevertheless... After we broke up it wasn`t easy to forget you so always when you came in my mind, I kept replaying our worst moments till I believed there was nothing nice about our relationship, I didn`t mean anything to you and to be honest, I limited you to an unpleasant person. When I finally accepted it, I simply deleted it all out of my head. Certainly, I`ve…
know one Vietnam veteran in particular, my Uncle Larry. Whenever I go to his house, all I can see is patriotic vibes. Whenever I hang out with him, he tells stories about his times when he was a soldier, deployed in Vietnam. But, there is one memory that really stuck with me. It was his happiness. He would joke with me all day and it would brighten my day. The mainstream media always portrays Vietnam veterans as mentally disabled, sad and depressed people, but my Uncle Larry is in no way, shape,…
to achieve a common goal, however, it is not said they share any personal relations. Within the urban sense a squad is a group of friends which share a close emotional bond. Unfortunately, given my particular upbringing friends just the same as everything else came and went time and time again. Friends in my world became a relative term with only a few exceptions. There were those I remembered by name and most often those I remembered only through appearance. They say the first thing you tend…
craziest of dreams still hold a glimmer of hope. Throughout my childhood an interest in recycled crafts began to stem. I thrived on the idea of creating art with garbage. For years I imagined constructing a recycled dress to attend the junior prom. I never let go of my hope, and on January 24, 2014, at the age of fourteen, I made the first step toward completion. That day the first pop tab was woven into a strand of 66 pop tabs. 794 days later, through every challenge and struggle, the pop tab…
My goal is probably not one that most people would set for themselves. Most people set their goals in terms of their education, career, and family. My goal is to lead a healthier life style because I’ve gotten tired living with obesity and being unhealthy. At the age of 15, my doctor officially diagnosed me as an obese child. Being overweight did not affect me personally while I was in Elementary and in Middle School. When I moved to be in High school, however, I began to feel social pressure to…
Middle school Let’s talk about something no one ever wants to talk about, Middle school. Junior high was one of the best and worst three years of my life. From friendships to boy drama etc. So any sixth graders out their?! At the end of fifth grade we had the middle school counselor come and talk to us in our auditorium. All of our questions were literally about one thing. Dress code. The new middle school would have uniforms. “Green, grey, white, and black polos along with kaki or black pants.”…
early 1960’s to 1970’s was a tough time for my parents but not just them everybody. This was because of all the negative that was around them. There were many things for kids their age to do, and they took the better route in life. Compared to now, the gang banging is not something that you see a lot of today. Both my parents grew up in this time period and my dad has a different outlook on life. The things that are going in today’s society are from when my father was child. It was never an easy…
I’ve been in my home was the only place I felt that safety and warmth feelings being in. Saying goodbye to everyone and everything I’m used to was so difficult for a 15 years old teenager. I got so mad and started complaining “Why! Why did we have to leave?” Complaining was the only word I knew as a teenager. Traveling to Erbil, north of Iraq, I remember how the first week went with heavy tears on my face. It was very hard for me to have new friends and new school without missing my old school…
happening and what environment I am in. My past experiences changed how I react to difficulties faced in life now. When faced with adversity, I can be stiff and hard inside like an egg, I can get soft and weak like a carrot, or I can change the situation in front of me just like a coffee bean. It all depends on the circumstances. In some instances, I could probably be considered an egg. My granddaddy passed away when I was 14. Only one of my other family members had passed away…
back in life and regret a time they consider a failure that shaped their whole future. I do not want to be that person. That time you may be wondering about is high school. My first years of high school have been a failure. Coming to Fork Union I know success is around the corner if I keep working hard. I know this for a fact because I have already tasted a that success. I believe my life will be full of success if I continue to work hard My flaw was overconfidence. I have faith in my…
