Every day he stood next to me supervising my practice sessions and making the most out of correcting my mistakes. I grew to despise Haram for our three hour sessions, I just wanted to quit on the praise team and quit on the drums. I was about an inch away from dropping everything, but it was when I noticed a small light through the crack of the door;
As a freshman, I understood that the rigors of taking 18hrs credit hours of class work would be challenging. I thought I could handle the workload and I still believe that I could have, except that both my paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother become very ill while I attended Richmond. As my parents first born child, I was extremely close to my grandparents. I became emotionally distraught concerning their conditions and it began to affect my ability to focus on my studies. They each have since passed with cancer, nearly 8 months
Our teachers were very old and wise so they knew that this wouldn’t just be a learning experience for the 8th graders but also the 1st. They learned that civil literacy meant that they not only needed to worry about themselves but helping someone else out. I went through this stage as an 8th grader and was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to socialize, have fun, go on field trips and other fun activities with my very own 1st grader. The thing is this doesn’t go on in every other grade school; those other kids that don’t get this option are stuck.
They would fight so bad in front of me that it affected me with my school work, sports and social life. Everything started getting better until the day my mom moved out and I had to choose who I was going to life with. I went to a divorce counselor and lawyer because I was unable to make the decision. I finally spit the time equally, which was not enough for both of them and ended up making them fight even more and putting myself in the middle of it. Finally sophomore year of high school my biggest support system came into my life, my boyfriend and his family.
He started taking shots at my self-esteem by saying that no one else would want to be with me because of x,y,z. C.) I would be lying to you if I said that during this time of my life I didn't fight back. I was constantly fighting back with all of the mistakes he had made and how they way things were now was all his fault. I tried hard to make sure that he felt guilty about what he had done and how it made me feel and I blamed him for our break up. I remember one night when we were fighting he told me I was a stupid bitch, I fired back with whatever name came to mind at that moment.
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
He did this so that his land could be passed to his children, but the way they make accused individuals plead is by placing large rocks upon them until they plead. He suffered for two full days with only three mouthfuls of bread and water. While this unspeakable torture forced his eyes to be push from his head and his bones to break he did not cry out. The only words he spoke were, “more weight,” until he finally died at noon on the third day. The courage taken to withstand such horrible torment is unspeakable.
And at these times I hated you. You’d completely crushed my hope that we’d be as close as we were. But when I found you face down in the mud after your accident, all that was out of my mind. I cried every night for weeks after that, and I could not sleep or eat. I was too full of guilt and regret.
When I was growing up, I constantly was under a struggle to please my father. He never was satisfied by my actions no matter how hard I tried. I didn’t quite understand his anger toward me until I accidently walked in on him and my mom, Kathleen, fighting. I stood listening at the key hole to hear father bellowing that I was an unsightly, crybaby and was better of dead, or worse a girl. The room smelled funny; somehow, my instincts told me that it
He describes in detail to his kids every employees name and how they all piss him off one way or another. Having this stroke has made him feel like a “carcass” (4). He shows his hatred throughout the story not only through words, but by giving the reader images by talking about his days spent in the hospital. “Every hour or few they would wake me up, I was dazed because I didn’t sleep enough” (4). Mr. Sanchez does not like when
