I have had to cope with my crazy and angry nights and I still do everyday. My family is the most important discourse community that I belong too. Conventions were created throughout this divorce process. Some would not be mentioning family fights with others unless they were extremely close, and not bringing it up around my immediate family because everyone has their own opinion and that would only cause fighting. The most important convention I’ve learned through this is how to rely on my self more and take responsibility to help my mother out as much as possible since there is one less person.
More fights, more arguments and most of all more isolation between me and my parents occurred. I didn’t understand why they weren’t allowing me explore and have some fun since I knew I was only going to be young once and I didn’t want it to go to waste. Eventually I would win the arguments and they would allow me to go out in the streets at night go out and have fun, little did I know is that it wasn’t what I expected all fun and games but danger and trouble. Now I understood why they would fight against me and all the things I would see made me value my parents even more. Now my only struggle is to help and provide for my family and make them proud.
While all our teachers and parents have been working all our lives to equip and prepare us for this stage in our lives, it's not like when we get to this point and go off to college or whatever you may plan to do now that they will all be gone; these people along with all the friends we've made over time will still be there, maybe not right where you can see them everyday, but nevertheless there to talk to and support you when you may need. Thus, there is no reason to feel as though you are alone or on your own at this
Cultural Diversity Charity Tessitore ETH/125 July 19, 2015 Elizabeth Kazsuk Learning that discrimination and prejudice is still a very big issue, even in today’s time, makes me see that no matter what, I must always be nice to others. I realized how important it is to talk to my children about this subject as well. I never discussed it with them because I always thought that if they saw me being nice and not discriminating or being prejudice to others, they would follow suit. But I have realized that the outside world influences my children just as much, if not more than, home life. I have always been one to do research of my own, so I didn’t get to learn anything new about my cultural history.
This quote caught my attention because as a child who grew up with an absent father, I felt this essay really got to the heart of the problem that many children faces now a day. I was lucky in knowing my father's decision not to have anything to do with me growing up was because he resented paying support. I wish I could believe parents left for altruistic reasons, but I think those are just excuses. If they really feared screwing up their kids they could take classes, they could learn to be parents, take anger management classes. Simply, they cannot be arsed to bother.
April 2, 2012 Malcolm X Essay The Autobiography of Malcolm X did come across some inappropriate moments. For example, the drug dealing, gambling, sex, and race. In my opinion, parents should not object the material in the autobiography because it is material students should know and be aware of. Things like this happen in the real world and parents do not want their children to be completely oblivious to their bad surroundings. Even though there was a lot of things in the Autobiography that parents may not find okay for students to read, they need to understand that things like that can happen anywhere in the world.
There are many things that may alter your viewpoint of your actions or even your life,whether its a particular predicament,a consequence,or a menial statement from someone dear to you.Right now i'm not quite sure if i am completely a changed person or did my viewpoints themselves just change.Besides my family that tried to make me change,I felt solitary as if i've endeavored this rocky ship we call life single-handedly.Initially, being placed in jail just added four concrete walls to that alone feeling.Despite the anger that broiled within me,I learned one lesson and that was: you have a choice always and doing the right thing is easier and better than doing the wrong thing. When most people think of jail they visualize a vivid imagery
Once I began attending the new school things were difficult because my new teacher was completely different from my previous teacher. I would get into trouble for not following directions and it was also difficult for me to make new friends at such a young age. I feel the difficulty of making friends was in some ways contributed to because of the tight bonds my siblings and had. Sibling relationships are less vulnerable to negative effects of conflict than friendships are perhaps the involuntary nature of sibling relationships heightens tolerance of negative affect (Hartup & Laurens, 1993; Katz et al. 1992) Having the closeness somewhat deterred us from seeking friendships outside of our comfort zone.
Back then not, much punishment given to correct the problems that happen, some of the students could not tell their teachers because at times the teachers were part the problem as well. These ongoing issues seem it would never end for some students. Education can be a very scary experience for some students; the educational system has changed from back in the 60’s and 70’s. The punishment is more survive and more rules to follow. Even though the system has made a great deal of changes, it has not stopped the problems just slow them down.
I know that when you write or speak about your experiences it helps you but for some reason even though it’s a healthy thing to do it’s so difficult for me to express, tell, speak of what has happened to me. Big part of me I guess is scared, full of shame; I know, I know you mentioned it in class that there’s no reason for us to feel this way but at least I do. I feel embarrassed and I guess I do care about what others have to say about me. My story goes like this…. You see my grandfather used to live with us and he was the one that used to take care of us, feed us take us and pick us up from school.
