Personally, I fight my own internal enemies day after day, one being, the resentment and anger of having to put my grandmother into a nursing home. These feelings are equal to both sides as for me, I, as a grandchild should not be handling this life altering situation but if I hadn’t done what was right, she may be dead today. I had to weigh my options: let the tide roll and see where it goes, or step up and take her away to a safe, but unhappy place. As human nature, I think we almost always choose the option where life can be continued whether or not we or they are happy with it. This seems to show to me that we are slightly
Once his Dad has gone through so many medical procedures the family has no money left and they are forced to move in with their uncle in Detroit. Hakeem is very upset because he’s leaving all his close friends, memories, and most importantly girlfriend behind for good. Also he knows the real reason the move is occurring is because his father’s cancer could come back and the
I was up for the challenge even though I had nothing to lose, but had much to gain. Due to the challenges I faced with my divorce, and the resignation of my job, I felt I losed everything I worked hard for. However, in the mist of having both it was tearing me apart for years. Therefore, difficult decisions had to be made in other to find myself again. Having peace in my life was not an option anymore.
She wanted to spend what ever time she had left with her family. This is a case that Quill took very personal because he wrote of Diane’s personal struggles in her life that she had overcome in the eight years that he had come to know her. When the time came, when Diane was no longer in control of her life she wanted to take her life in the least painful was as possible. Quill acknowledged and explored this wish but also thought that it was out of the realm of currently accepted medical practice and that it was more than he could offer or promise (692). The other reason that I thought Quills main audience were doctors is that he used medical term that were not clear as a general audience.
It is all too often a familiar feeling when I think of my family responsibility and how I must often make decisions and carry the burden for my family. I quickly learned that others within the group had similar feelings of family obligation and responsibility which seemed to play a role in the tension they felt at the onset of the group. When Dr. Skjoldal asked the question, “What will happen if you don’t get something right or get a thing done?”, It was a moment of enlightenment, and it gave me insight. I have never been asked that question. Thinking about a possible answer reveals that I am not only living with fear but possibly an over-compensation of family obligation.
Why Do I Want My GED? Now days, it is extremely hard to move forward in life without obtaining a GED or High school diploma. I do not want, or plan to be, one of those regretful people who fall behind in life because they never dedicated the time to graduate. Also, getting my GED is something I need to achieve if I ever want to get a decent job and build financial stability for myself and my family. Most importantly, I want to do thing in my life that I can be proud of and know that I was a good role model for my daughter.
When they would talk about their families and tell me their stories of why they were there, I found myself getting angry at God. I didn’t understand how God could let a child go through all that suffering. I later realized that everything happens for a reason and that I was sent to Mindo for a special reason. I was to be a friend to these children. I wanted make their lives better, even if it was just for than one week I was in Mindo.
I strived to succeed, so when I didn’t do my best I would get very upset with myself and try harder until I was the best. I hate the feeling of failure especially when I knew that I had tried my very hardest. My parents always told me try your hardest or don’t try at all, so anytime I lost at something I felt like I was letting them down. Like I said before the best feeling in the world is when your parents show pride in you, well how awesome that feels is coinciding with how horrible it feels when they are upset with me. Through the years I have learned what I am good at and what I don’t excel in.
I was sad and depressed. It was one of the worst feelings leaving my girl and son behind, but deep down I knew it was right. I had to do what I had to do, and I couldn’t let anything get in the way of my goals for me or my family. I knew that everything would work out impeccably in the end, because everything happens for a reason. Will Demps also writes in his essay titled “Groupie Love” that he removes himself from temptation by surrounding himself with like minded players.
I was always a fan of wanting to control life, not letting life control me. But then I learned to stop trying to plan things too far ahead because even within a short span of seconds, everything can alter. So rather than planning my every step, I simply keep a destination in mind and work towards getting there. To begin, my greatest accomplishment in 2022 would hopefully be pursuing my dream career as a physician assistant. I will have achieved this part of the journey to my destination through my hard work and countless hours of dedication to meeting all the rigorous requirements necessary to the PA program.
