I worked nights, which meant 9pm to 7am, but the girls knew i had kids at home, and so they would let me clock off early and head home. I don't know how i made it home most nights, bleary eyed and completely exhausted at 3 or 4 am. Only to wake at 6:30 and get the kids off to
Every time her uncle and aunts go visits her she always gets sad when they have to leave because of the goodbyes. Although most of the time his flights are delayed, she decides to stay home instead of going along to drop him and leaves, her father tells her that her uncle said he will never forget them. Furthermore, she talks about the day she turned fifteen and how they did not have enough money to celebrate like most girls with a quincenera but instead they have a gathering of 6 people to celebrate. Their budget is tight but her mom still decides to buy what her daughter deserves and nothing lower. She has a fun memory despite the struggle of being poor.
She used to read this book to me and my two younger brothers every night at bedtime. We had this routine down or should I say mom had us on a routine. First, we took our nightly baths, then after we would put on our super hero underoos, and then we would sit down to the kitchen table for a snack. Once we had gobbled down the snacks, my brothers and I would make a mad dash to the couch. It was always a competition to see who could get the best seat which was the one on either side of mom.
My mother was fairly young and still in high school, so my grandmother Christine Cooks made it one of her top priorities to take care of me. She did my hair, fed me, played with me, and put me to sleep. When I was around the age of two she bought me a play kitchen. I was so used to seeing my grandmother cook every morning that I wanted to do the same. I would say, “Grandma, are you making grits?
She helped me get my first bank account so I had a place to put my babysitting money. She let me drive her car and helped me get my license. I love her. She is a stable person in my life; Always there whether good or bad and never judgmental. She taught me to value myself.
I believe that this had a great impacted the society, mostly women. This was because women back in the 1800’s were only considered to be house wives, looking after the children, cooking for the family and cleaning their houses. Many women didn’t have the opportunity to do everything or even have everything that Marie did. Many of them couldn’t even go to school because they had to stay home to help their mothers with the house. After she made that comet discovery she gave hope to all women and showed them that they can do whatever they want even if only men have done it before.
I was the only child, so it was fairly quiet around the house. I would come home and sit on the couch and do my homework as my mom occasionally came around to see how I was doing. Whenever I slacked off, she made sure that I got back on the right track and got each part of my work done for school in the morning. Sometimes I would wait until the last minute to do projects for classes. I mainly pushed them off because elementary teachers always wanted some kind of colorful and creative diorama or drawing.
My family was a house full of women. Even in school, I was surrounded by traditional families. I went to school with a lot of upper class Italian, Greek, and American families. When there were school functions and plays, my mom and grandparents were there, and although I was grateful for Dida being there, I still did not have my dad like all of my friends. I can remember spending the night at my friend Jenny’s house and she would get mad at me because I would love to sit and talk with her parents instead of playing with her in her room.
(291) Mother was working days at her job and decided to start on night so that she could spend the day with Emily. The system of work and taking care of emily hardly lasted. The mother sent her to his family and left here there. When life got better for mother, she raised the money for Emily's fare back. “when she finally came , I hardly knew her, walking quick and nervous like her father, looking like her father, thin,and dressed in a shoddy red that yellowed her skin and glared at the pockmarkes.
Everything was new and exciting. However, as time passed by, I felt really lonely and started missing my friends really bad. That is certainly the worst part about moving to another country: your social life gets really affected by that. I was always an easy person to become friends with, so I thought that wouldn’t be a problem for me here, but unfortunately I was wrong. I have lots of friends in Brasilia, and we used to hang out every weekend, and when we had nothing to do, they’d come over to my place so we could watch movies and play some games.
