Everything that Miss Moore put the kids through was to teach them a lesson and I feel like my parents did the same for me; they taught me a lesson to show me that life is not perfect and I do not get everything I want. Lucky for me, once I got out into the real world it was not shocking to me that everything did not go the way I wanted it to be. On the other hand Marissa had everything when she was younger, but once she got out into the real world it would be hard for her to accept life’s obstacles. Buying one’s way to happiness will never work and even though I still do not have everything I am happier than I ever
The place where I know I’m most welcome Throughout my life I have faced a lot in school and it was not only academy wise there were more to it, I used to be blamed for things I don’t know about. However I learned how to make all bad things good things and make the best out of it all. I realize that difficulties can make you accomplish a lot in your life without you fighting back. I move to America three years ago and came to the country with no idea of how the school system works and I did not have any idea of how they teach students differently. Trying to achieve what I want in life is really hard all I know is that I have support all the way to the end.
Also two of my brothers still went to this school with this address on file. I was pretty much fed up with high school at that point. So I got my GED a few years later. School has been hard for me since but I am finally getting past it. I cannot even picture where I would be in life right now.
While she is on the Victory Tour, she allows no one to cater her needs because that’s not how she lived back at home. She likes doing everything on her own because she says. “If I do it by myself, I shall have no reason to be mad at anyone but me”. I’ve also been independent because I never had stable parents or guardians to rely on. From a young age, I moved out of my house, I had to get a job, and pay for my own necessities.
Twenge says, “There’s this idea that, ‘Yeah, I don’t want to work, but I’m still going to get all the stuff I want” (Peck 303). Some young adults have not even left their home before. They enjoy staying at home and not realizing that they should go out to find jobs. The main reason why young adults do not want to work is that their parents still guide them like children. Today, millions young adults are facing real problems: lack of job opportunities, housing, and trying to survive in a fast, globalized world.
Dobson is “Rules without relationships lead to rebellion.” (Dobson, 217). I am a living witness of this quote and how my parents raised me personally. I grew up in a household without my father where my mother and grandmother played the role of father and mother. However, my mother was not the parent figure I clung to always, but more so my grandmother. My grandmother and I had a great relationship where I could tell her anything, we could go shopping or out to eat together.
I knew in my situation I was still young and actually had a lot more to learn about life and now parenthood. It was going to be difficult, but a huge part of me wanted to try. I had to be ready to grow up and be willing to give up on my dream of traveling around the world. That did not seem to bother me. I was able to talk with some teen moms about their experiences of having a baby.
It was an experience that I did not know how to handle. For my son and I it was very difficult and life changing. After the divorce I decided to relocate with my mother. I knew that after all she was the only person that can help me gain that strength and will power I had before this experience. I knew that I had to make changes not only for me but, for my son.
And while I had my toys and my friends around I still had to be responsible about doing my homework and wake up every morning and wear my clothes to go to school. I learned to do everything by myself and. Finally after one year my dad decided that we can go to see my mom. At the first time, I did not feel anything when I saw her because I could not remember her as a mom. This really hurt me as
As a child, I grew up in the migrant environment. It wasn't easy moving back and fourth to different states, dealing with school and having to work in the exhausting fields is not an easy task to do. Growing up I was aware of my parents struggles to sustain our home and needs. I then realized that education is imperative to economic well-being, despite having little of monetary value my parents never gave up on my sister and I. The fact that my parents grew up in a time that working was the only option being that they were not educated.
