Due to Stephanie being very active in sports throughout her younger years, staying physically fit was never an issue she had to worry about. She was very satisfied with her physical appearance. However, as she got older and her job demanded more of her, she was not able to keep up with all the practices and participate in the weekly games. She slowly dropped out of sports because she had to work in order to support herself. Little by little she noticed her physical appearance changing.
We moved around so much because my mother was on drugs and couldn’t pay the bills. Most of my life my grandmother took care of me. I come from a very honest and outspoken family. We were taught to never hold nothing back and to always be open and honest. Some people may say that we are “too honest.” I feel that whatever I’m thinking at the time I should say because the truth shall set you free.
I did horrible my freshman year but my mom still managed to discipline me enough after seeing my report card that I went from a 1.8 to a 3.0 student by the end of the year. She did this by enforcing strict discipline. I wasn't allowed to go out and I had to stay home everyday to work on my homework. Society hasn't shaped me, the community I lived in hasn't shaped me, what really made me what I am today is my mom. She shaped me to become what I am today, even though it took many years to make me into what she wanted me to be, she's the one who gave me my mindset to try my best and to always know there's room for
Mama finally stands up to Dee and realizes the beauty in Maggie. Mama is a simple woman. She has worked hard her entire life and has done the best to support her family. Although Mama may not agree with Dee, it seems as if she is caught up in Dee’s opinions and behavior. Almost as if she wants to be enough for Dee because she knows she never has been.
I find her strong because she takes responsibility for hunting the food for supper and making sure her family has all their needs. She’s also very strong because during the games, she allows nothing to stop her from surviving. Including, boys, emotion, and the thought of her family being in danger back home. I can relate to the way she feels because I feel like I’ve overcome a lot of obstacles with not having my parents in my life and having to provide for myself. Like her I had to somewhat grow up without a father figure and become the “mom” of the household.
Rough Draft If you can imagine for a moment, A hospital room, as cold as the hearts of the family members who filled the empty corners. There in a bed lay one of the sweetest people I had ever met in my life. A lady who filled her life with love and compassion for others and spent the last of her days slowly forgetting those whom she had poured all that love in to. That lady was my grandmother and her name was Roxy Gay, and my life will never be the same without her here not only through the lessons taught from her but through the lesson taught from her death. Looking out of a window, out into the cold, snowy backyard.
The Lowell Mill Girls, who averaged around the age of 24, were hired with one year contracts. New girls were paired with more experienced women. Although their contract was for one year, a lot of the girls stayed up to four years. At this time, the work conditions were horrible. If you compared our work week at this present time, to the workweek that these women endured, you would be distraught.
Me being her daughter I will always stick up for her, even If people aren't talking directly towards my mom, but in general to all sex offenders. Not all of them are bad my mom has been good for 10 years and she will never go back. I'm proud of her, so glad I don't get judged
Some how in order for me to be the greatest nurse I had to get my grade point average up and a high ACT. My mother and I have always had an awkward relationship. She had never said congratulation or I am very proud of you. I always took things to heart so when i had decided that I was going away from home to go to college she took things to heart and all you would hear was discussion of how irresponsible I was. Graduation finally came, never did I hear those words till the day I moved into my room this
All of the emotions where running through here mind like a roller coaster. Not knowing what to expect regarding pain and, at the same time, proud to bring an innocent little life into her world. One thing she never expected was to be back in the hospital 3 days later putting up the fight for her life. When I was called, I rushed to the hospital to be by her side and give her as much support as I could give. I held back a cage full of tears when I entered the room and saw that her face was as flat as a basketball.
