“I love you-I do-but I am afraid of making that love too important. Because you're always going to leave me, A. We can't deny it. You're always going to leave” (289). During the beginning of the story, A meets Rhiannon, the first girl he has ever loved.
I have family members who are always saying negative things to me like- “It’s too expensive to attend college,” you’ll never find time,” it’s too late,” and etc. I have long separated from some of these family members because I needed boundaries and knew they were not part of my eventual goals for my life. I ultimately knew that if I didn’t separate, my dreams and a piece of myself would die. As a result, I make sure to concentrate my energy on various healthy challenges and this has helped me to forget about the negative words and impacts in my life. Thank God- that I have been able to succeed in most of my goals.
At one point in time in my life one of my teachers told me that I would never graduate or attend college and that I would most likely be knocked up before my junior year. But like Catherine I used that as fuel and proved everyone wrong. Not only did I graduate from high school but I am currently attending college. I am also happily engaged to the man of my dreams, no kids yet but definitely considered when we are both ready. I was definitely moved by this play, enough so I want to go and rent the movie and watch it with my fiancé.
She had to go through the struggle of a home, school, and social life. This is why I loved this book. Sometimes I want to be invisible, but others won’t let me. Melinda goes through this every day. I kept reading and reading because I wanted her to have the happy ending she deserved.
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 did not want my son to think that I just gave him away because I did not love him or want him. I know I would never have a peace of mind if I went this route. I looked through adoption profiles of couples who were hoping to adopt. All their stories broke my heart and made me wish I had a baby for each of them. I then realized once more how incredibly lucky I was to be able to have a baby and the chance to love, care, and nurture him.
My mom always told me “Leave work at work, and leave home at home” don’t mix the two cause it can be way to stressful at times if you do. I have always tried to follow this motto by her. I look forward to becoming a Medical Assistant and can’t wait to finish school and get my career
My parents always tell me “enjoy being a kid while it lasts” and I would just encore it and all I wanted to do was grow up and get out of here and travel the world an just be an dependant women on my own, but now I realize why my parents told me that, once I saw my parents come home late from work and seeing them all tired ,then I realized its not so fun being an adult because you have to work really hard for something you want and once you have a family of your own its not always going to be about you anymore, you have to focus on being a parent , and that pretty much sums up being an adult, but what do I know I’m not an adult ..yet . Well middle school has changed my life, and made me realize a lot of things, It mite not have been the greatest experience of my life but I learned a lot and learned a lot from my mistakes so I wont make them again in the future but I don’t know what will happen in the future and I wouldn’t want to
It’s funny what happens when everything changes so fast; one forgets about who really cares about them and who’s been there for them since day one. I made that mistake and was with new people every weekend. While it’s nothing I regret, it’s something I wish I had managed differently, and I felt bad about how I had treated my friends. When I apologized to them they forgave me, but it was never the same when I was with them. Going through this experience taught me to never take anything for granted because when everything is given to somebody at the same time, it’s easy to forget who’s
I do it to connect with God with my soul and mind. It cleanses them of the burdens of the week and gives me a sense of peace and calming. The reason why I am taking classes is further my education in the hopes of pursuing and creating a future career for myself not just having a job. I spend time with my family because they give me sense of happiness, love, warmth, and kindness to my heart. I love to spend time with my family.
