Dear, Dad During this Christmas break I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I have done and all the trouble I’ve put you through, throughout the years that I have been living in South Carolina, I’m writing you a formal apology because I feel when having a conversation I just can’t find the words to say how I actually feel about things. The thing is that I’m terribly sorry for the outburst that I had on that N I G H T it was wrong of me to act like that I regret ever saying anything . It seems to me like everything changed since then I miss our little conversations that we used to have riding around about what ever came to mind it was cool and I enjoyed them, we never really had any family problems like that before and it was dumb. That sort of thing should never happen
New beginnings also meant bidding farewell to parts of my life and, as always, you had taken the time to write a few words to help me along the way. “If I knew being here with you today would mean being alone tomorrow, I would gladly trade all of my tomorrows away for a moment here with you” resonated as an anthem to appreciate the time spent every day with loved ones, as there was no way to go back and retrieve my “tomorrows” (Brown Eyed Blues, Harper). But life was not only about struggling and moving on, and “Mama’s Trippin’”, “When It’s Good”, and “Steal My Kisses” served as the perfect reminder to enjoy the silly moments. It was important to remember that “when it’s good, it’s oh so good, but when it’s gone, it’s gone” kept me grounded and appreciative of all the good days (When It’s Good,
I began by holding both of my friends by the hands, as they showed me how to move on the ice. Things were not quite that easy for me, but Alicia and Diego were very patient. After a few hours of talking, laughing, and falling down, I was able to do it alone! At every second I remembered what they had taught me. I had two things to concentrate on, my legs and my step.
noticed that I did miss tying it into some of the trials and tribulations in the story, and now as I read over this I feel if like my experience between father and son is actually a lot like Odysseus and Telemachus. At a young age, my father left home and I learned to become a man of the household without him physically being present. The struggle of growing up with that weight on my shoulders I think definitely compares to that of Tele. in the Odyssey. My fathers departure was a major turning point in my life, it changed a lot of things for me and was very emotional.
What I didn’t know was that the fact of how difficult it was going to be to overcome the feeling of being lonely, since he left me and my family. My older brother and I were always very close with our grandfather as we were growing up. We would do everything together. He was the first person who introduced us how to ride a bike, how to play chess, how to play basketball. He even got me my very own basketball hoop in my backyard for my birthday, but unfortunately as time flew by life took all this from us.
I read through tons and tons of poems until I found The Road Not Taken. What really stood out to me in this poem was that the author (Robert Frost) was faced with a decision that would have a great impact on the rest of his life. With knowing that, I knew that this would be relatable among readers. So going into the project I was quite sure that I had an easy way out. Little did I know that every single line had a meaning within the words.
And every time he made a leap, Everybody fell asleep. And every time he ate his tie, Everyone began to cry. And Cloony could not make any money Simply because he was not funny. One day he said, "I'll tell this town How it feels to be an unfunny clown." And he told them all why he looked so sad, And he told them all why he felt so bad.
Those days were very trying but they taught me that work came first and play second. This made a big difference in my life how I treat work, and how I look at having fun. I often feel sorry for kids that didn’t grow up as I did, missing the opportunity to work on a family ranch and experiencing the ranching way of life. During calving season it’s all about riding up to the
We lost a lot of people because of that attack, so that really hurt me on the inside. It made me pretty angry and I wanted our military to do everything possible to get back at them for what they have done. The years have passed and I still think about this event almost every day. It is truly amazing how we take our freedom for granted, and not realize how important truly is. There are people out there fighting for our country every single day and some people don’t respect that as much as they should.
So, we did just that, and he told us the reason why and informed us that we would never be allowed to work at that camp again. As you could imagine, this was devastating news to us, and we felt extremely rejected from this experience. The period of time following that rejection quickly became one of the hardest times of trial in my life. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of other periods of trial throughout my life, but fortunately, through those trials God has “grown” me in ways that I would not have grown had I not gone through those times in my life. Because of that, I have come to realize that when God’s Word talks about going through trials in your life, it is really saying that we need to embrace the trials we encounter in our lives.
