From this trip I learned that your life begins at the end of your comfort zone. From the time I was a little girl my aunt tried to visit us as much as possible. She would try to bring our cousins to see us too, but that was hard sometimes because by the time I was born they were nearly adults.

Queen Latifah Often considered hip-hop's first lady Queen Latifah was born Dana Owens on March 18th, 1970, in East Orange, New Jersey.
The Sandlot The movie “The Sandlot” is a very good example of the way adolescents act and their lifestyle as a whole. We see how they go through their summer days and interact with each other. The film takes place in 1962 and is a flashback of the life of Scotty Smalls when he moves into a new neighborhood with his mother and stepfather. The didn’t allow Scotty to make many new friends but he eventually follows some of the neighborhood kids after school one day and sees them playing baseball.

He had a man ask him if he was Cuban and he said, “No I’m Puerto Rican” and the guys responds by saying same shit. He wanted them to get out of the barrio, but that was a place comfort to her mother.

Brad, who has just returned home from his fast food job, peeks out the bathroom window. His younger sister’s friend, Linda, dives into the backyard pool. As Brad closes the window, his point of view (the object of his gaze) is framed in the camera for the movie viewer. This framing signals that the narrative perspective has shifted into a subjective fantasy state. The film begins to move in slow motion and the soundtrack of The Cars “Moving in Stereo” begins thumping.

I picked him for a bootlegger the first time I saw him and I wasn't far wrong." "What about it?" said Gatsby politely. "I guess your friend Walter Chase wasn't too proud to come in on it." There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights.
Share a time in your life when you feel you let your parents down. How did this event or moment impact your relationship with them? My mom and dad were in Sioux Falls with my brother at a basketball camp at Augustana and Maria, Kyra, and I went to Okoboji because we went boating. We were planning on staying the night there at Cutty’s but we ended up coming back that night because of the weather, and I didn’t tell my mom or dad that I wasn’t staying the night in Okoboji that night. I figured that Maria, Kyra, and I should have some guys over since I was home alone and we were going to watch a movie with them.
