Omar A. Reyes Terry Whitman COM: 300 5 June, 2011 From small town to the Twin Cities To start off, I should say that my childhood was as different as you can imagine from other kids around my life in Guatemala. When I was four years old, my mother decided to move from Quetzaltenango (my home town) back to Guatemala City. From there everything was uphill for my mother, as my father was an alcoholic and the only thing that he could provide was trouble. My mother always had been very independent; she never asked or waited until someone else could put food on the table. Even today she is a photographer, she runs a guest house, and she is always taking care of her family.
She told me to relax and just have fun but not too much fun. From that moment on we were inseperable, where ever I went she was there and where ever she went I was there. As senior year came we both decided that we wanted to become rattlers and attend FAMU. When we both got accepted to Famu we were so excited and then we found out that our dorm room were right across from each other and that was just the icing

A 1. Summary The article “Do ‘Helicopter Moms’ Do More Harm Than Good?” is about a single mother, Robyn Lewis, who is an extraordinarily devoted parent. Her whole life has been all about taking care of her two sons, Ethan and Brendan, who are respectively 21 and 18 years old and both going to college two hours away from home. Even though they are both grown boys, Robyn keeps doing everything for them. She drives all the way to the college to clean up their rooms and do their laundry.
I would always go to my boyfriend’s house instead. After my mother kicked me out, I dropped out of high school completely and moved in with my boyfriend. He’s 14 years older and he always supported me in whatever I did. He also gave me money whenever I needed it, and bought me everything I needed. He was the first man that ever made me feel loved.
When you look at this case and apply sociological imagination, you see that she did this because that is what society thinks is beautiful. My mom is a strong believer in making me work for everything I have. I was never handed anything, I always had to work for it. Around two weeks before I turned sixteen, my mom drove me around to fill out job applications for every place around town that would hire a sixteen year old. I probably filled out about fifty applications.
We didn't stay on the beach long, we all wanted to get a good nights sleep. My step-sisters Katy and Bethany have never been to Cedar Point before and the last time i was there was 8yrs ago. None of us could fall asleep, we were all to excited to go enjoy the huge amusment park. When our parents woke us up the next morning we all rushed around, even tho we had plenty of time before we got into the park an hour early. After we were all ready we ate breakfast at a very crowded resturant.

I wanted so badly to not be in the foster care system and believed I would never get along with anyone outside of my own race. My first roommate at my group home was an African-American girl who was nothing but welcoming. Every morning she would turn on the radio to the local hip hop station blasting it very loudly. Every day, before she left for school, we ate breakfast together. After she ran away, I had another roommate who was Pilipino who became one of my best friends.
