I didn’t get special treatment; I had to work harder than anyone else to make sure that I earned my spot. He also taught me how to coach. Second is my grandma, my mom’s mother. She watched me when my parents were working. She was the best grandma ever.
I grew up in a large, single-parent family, my mother, Malli Robinson raised me and my siblings without and help. She is a really special women, I literally wouldn’t have been able to do what I had done if I hadn’t had a mother like her. She always pushed me to be the best that I possibly could be and she always told me that if I set my mind to something that I can do it. She was definitely role model and the person I looked up to the most, just because she did such a great job raising me and my siblings by herself. I excelled early in sports and I learned to make my own way in life, and could you imagine how
I don’t want to have kids when I am too old, I want to be able to watch them get married and have kids. I see my mother when she is with my niece and becoming a grandparent was one of the most joyful days of her life, I would love to experience that. I have had ups and downs through-out my life, but going through those obstacles has made me the sturdy person I am today. Going through my parent’s divorce, being in a long distance relationship and living in a rotary schedule between both parents has left me with emotional stiffness that I would by no means take
The same can be said for one who was born into money and has always had everything they wanted. The thought of not having an unlimited budget is ridiculous. If for some reason they were to lose everything they would be enlightened to a whole new world of poverty. The life they never thought of would now be very real to them. When we are young our parents are our guides through life.
Kevin Tacy Mrs. Portier English 101-3m October 1, 2011 Harley Duval seems like just a normal teenager living her life but then again she is different. The description of Harley would be a strong-minded, independent teenage mother. For only being 17 she is actually very responsible and mature. She also has a great deal courage to be raising a child at such a young age and to be still in high school. Everything Harley does in her life is for her child, no matter what circumstances occur.
Everyone should have that one place they like to visit often and is has a great deal of meaning for them whenever they go there. Well, when you grow up in a family with a single mother and three siblings, you do not always get the opportunity much traveling or visit to many place too often. When extra money or saving money had a hard thing to come by you do not get out much. My mother was a single young mother and worked extremely hard to make sure my brothers and I had everything we needed. We only saw things we wanted once in a while.
At one point in my life I was nearly there growing up with my mom we went through poverty but never was homeless. Looking back at that always drove me to do better experiencing first hand would never want myself or my family meaning kids to go through that situation. The experience made me very diversity conscious of the world around me and the struggle that many others have. So I started thinking of the phrase there is always someone worst off than you. My hopes are that Josh finds that one person that will be willing to accepting him not by what he is going through but by the person I have grown to know the hard worker, the person who is willing to help, and the person who just wants the succeed.
However for the few Caucasian students, my friends say that they were always pushed to succeed, not out of the doors. One of my friends, Brittney, would say how simply because her parents were on welfare that she felt as if she would just amount to that in her future if she did not have any support. That story stood out to me when you stated “a supportive and trusting environment provides ‘identity security’ to students, who are then emotionally more ready to challenge the stereotypical myths” (196). The previous quote really hit home for me. All it really takes is for one teacher, just one, to give you the extra push that you need to succeed academically.
My favorite aspect of college is being on my own. I have depended on my parents my entire life always having them check up on me making sure I complete work and maintain a schedule etc. This always scared me because I always would worry about what I would do when I was on my own at. How would I handle the stress, workload and time management? So four years later here I am a senior with two majors under my built closing out my last semester here.
Now my only struggle is to help and provide for my family and make them proud. My parents are getting older and so am I, I know soon I will have to leave the nest and eventually go build my own so I try to enjoy them as much as I can because I know this is part of the cycle of life. I will always have them in my mind and value the things they did for me and thought me. My family will always come first and I know if they ever needed me I will be there for them the same way they were there for me all my life. I love them to death and I know the strengths and knowledge they gave me will forever be in
