Describe the emotions you experienced. Did you feel any fear or worry about what had happened? Why or why not?
The reason that my adoptive family that gave me a new name, was that it was a new begging of my life, a new fresh start, and looking back I would understand what they wanted me to have that I didn’t have as a child. Growing up in an environment that would not be safe, the name Elena didn’t match my personality in life at all. The question ran in my head and anger arose in my heart. Could I have done something terrible that they wanted to change my name??? I was in shock, but also at the same time I felt like something changed of who I am.
I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school. So much of my personality and ethics come from my parents. One of the most important things I think my parents did was to not force religion into my life. Moreover, they did not equate being a moral person with being a religious one. This way, when my religion began to wane at times I never once felt like that meant I could just be a bad person.

We only have 0ne life, unless of we believe in incarnation.....then we have more than one life. But shouldn't we live life to its fullest? Shouldn't we embrace every moment, even if that moment doesn't turn out so good? When you're lying on your death bed, wouldn't you rather want to be able to say "yea, I had fun, made some mistakes, but I don't regret it, I got to experience just about everything I wanted too." instead of "yea, i regret never going on a cruise or telling my sister how I really felt.
The week of graduation I was both happy and sad. I did not understand what my best friends meant by that feeling until that week. I had the sense of happiness because I worked very hard to get my degree and to be the only one in my family to graduate from college was a huge accomplishment. However, sadness played a big part in that too because I did not want to enter the real world and special people that helped raise me over the years was not here to share this important day with me, but I knew they were there in spirit. All these emotions came over me all the way up until I walked across the
This might sound like a dream to some, but as a young child, it is a difficult time to understand . When my parents, my siblings, and I knew that we were moving to a new country,I had absolutely no idea what to expect or really think of that idea. All I could really think about was leaving my friends and my home. At that time, I was only a nine year old child; my mind could not really comprehend everything that was expected of me, the whole concept of leaving the small refugee camp that we lived in. Never have traveled past the borders; imagining a place past my little town was beyond me.
I realized that I no longer had to be the person my husband expected me to be, I was free to be myself, although I did not know who that person was. For the first time in eighteen years I could look at myself in the mirror and like what I saw looking back at me. The doctors had been wrong in their diagnosis, I was not having seizures and my memory had not been lost. My motor skills were fine also and I can drive and play softball. I had been given a second chance at life and I was not going to settle for less than I deserved.
September 11, 2001 was a day so many people lost their loved ones which was such a sad day even till today. As the country is going through this great loss, a lot of Americans are also concerned about bioterrorism attack and everyone is talking about small pox being released to the population again. As we are all aware, small pox is a disease that that we have worked on all these years and it has been eradicated with the help of vaccinations here in the United States. But due to the terrorist attack, Americans are really concerned that the terrorist might want to re-infect the citizen of United States with small pox. The CDC organization is in charge of small pox vaccines and we are assuring the citizens that we have a plan to make sure that we distribute these vaccines as soon as possible as needed.
By this point the strongest opposition of the War was becoming the soldiers. From 1960 to 1973 over five hundred thousand soldiers had abandoned their duties in War in protest. There was one demonstration in particular that rattled the morality of the American government; ‘Vietnam Veterans Against the War’ was the name of the event that happened in 1967. Old crippled, dismembered and injured soldiers from the War had come on television throwing away their badges and medals of Honour, saying that they were medals of murder. Many stated after that they, one day would like to go back to Vietnam and help rebuild the country that the helped destroy.
