Alexander A. DeMella October 2013 I am It’s August 31, 2013 and I am sitting at the desk of a substance abuse and vocational counselor at a rehabilitation center known as Outreach House 2 which I originally entered on March 12th of that same year. What I am doing is writing an essay that 7months ago I never would have imagined possible. Despite some of my initial struggles in the program, I work hard in the program to help better myself.

You see, I was spinning out of control, I fought with my family, I used marijuana, and I developed an apathetic view of the world around me.
She was the oldest out of eight siblings; she had both 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Due to the many siblings she had, she wasn’t able to attend college, thus being able to meet my grandfather Clearance in the year 1955. Together they had a total of six kids, in which my grandmother stayed home and cared for them, while my grandfather open and ran his own personal construction business. Much is to be said about my grandmother, but I could talk days on end about her. She is by far one of the most influential people in my life, her hard-work and optimism are just two of the things I admire most about her.

Social Policy Analysis Final Paper- Module Eight Carolyn Snover I am a survivor of domestic violence. It has been over 20 years since I was a victim, yet my story remains fresh in my mind. I had never felt so alone and helpless as during that time in my life. I was brought up in a Christian home where people did not get divorced, they worked it out. I was brought up in a society where women were taught their place was in the home, and the husband was the head of the home and a wife was expected to ‘love and obey’.
My mother at time was out most of the night and not able to get me up and ready early in the morning.

I also spent half of a year at Wesleyan College, in Owensboro, Kentucky and had to leave to give birth to my son.
