The holiday of Thanksgiving, although celebrated yearly in my family, has been incredibly inconsistent throughout my life. All other major holidays, such as Christmas, Easter and The Fourth of July, have been held in the same place for as long as I can remember. Both sides of my family celebrate Christmas at my house every year. My family always goes to my Aunt Ellen’s house for Easter and to Lake Geneva for the Fourth of July. These are just some of the many traditions that my family hold, but one that we do not is the location of Thanksgiving dinner.
Personnel Moral Dilemma Teresa Maynard CJA/324 June 24 2012 University of Phoenix J.T.Mendoza Personnel Moral Dilemma This personal dilemma started about two years goes when my grandson TeiJay started showing signs of some very extreme behavior after my son committed suicide on September 30, 2010.

I come from a strong Hispanic family with the best morals and hard-working, blue-collar ethics. The men in my family have provided for their families, and we have a big family. However, with the big family came the notion that college wasn’t in the equation. The University of La Verne’s core values have been present in my life throughout the years.
So SSG Wilson managed to get me a room in the barracks for that month so I wouldn’t have to go to an empty house every day. He then told me that he was having a section BBQ and that he would pick me up Saturday afternoon to meet his family and the
As a kid I grew up with the poor, I didn’t know the meaning of having my own car by the time I’ll be eighteen, or thinking of the path I’ll be choosing for my career back then, but those were just dreams that didn’t matter, I was just living day by day with the moments of my life. SEVEN years ago, I was in a class, most likely worrying about another school day, the only kid with a different culture, different personality and different

But would I truly understand what today would bring? Now is a week past my eighteenth birthday, and a Madison’s family tradition requires a boy at this age to go through the path to the life of a man. In a few moments, my father and I would be on our way to purchase the ticket to my manhood. Ever since my childhood, I was completely aware of this duty but I never wrapped my mind around this “life-changing” process at all. Guns always were a recurring element in my life because it runs deep within my immediate family, especially my father.
Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, I didn’t know that we were poor. My mother had five sisters and five brothers and most of them had children, so I was around family all of the time, having ten people living in a three bedroom home, and with all the dogs and cats my grandmother used to own never really seemed abnormal.

Night after night I would hear them fighting weather to go or not, but ultimately after a few months of thinking they eventually came to a unanimous decision… so that’s what they did. At first my father was against this, he kept saying ‘’I have a good paying job here, I don’t want to come over’’ but my mother’s
