Unfortunately, as life would have it after she graduated high school with a 4.0 gpa she quickly learned that it was all in vain, she was not able to attend a university because of her citizen status. My mother was forced to play the hand that god gave her. As life pummeled her with obstacles she continue to be carried on by her ambition. She now has earned a real estate license and a cosmetology license, all earned while working 2 jobs and raising 2 children. My mother raised me with the same mentality.
Yes, I have had many obstacles that crossed my path but I want him to see that I didn’t just settle for less and that I am in charge of being able to accomplish my dreams and goals. I know that school will be difficult at times, but I am willing to put up with that constant struggle so I can have the feeling a self accomplishment when I am
My parents really believed in shaping me into a good person when i was younger. When i was younger my parents would always scold me if I was thinking about the negative side of the situation instead of the positive side. This belief is "core" for me because it will take you places you have never thought
Helping starts with knowing yourself and knowing what you are good at. There are many characteristics that make up the person I am. I am humble, strong, caring and determine person. I have developed these characteristics over a long period of time. I learned humility through life struggles that have shown me that people who are arrogant and boastful aren’t really liked.
Her change in attitude was largely due to her placement in a healthy foster family environment. Nai lived in two foster homes until her final placement with a supportive and loving foster family. At first, it was really difficult for her foster family as they were not sure how to emotionally connect with the quiet and reserved teen. Nai explains that it was just very difficult for them to understand what she was going through. But, her foster parents supported her as much as they could, and encouraged her to become involved in school academics and sports to keep her active and busy.
Both Baby and Anne are very smart, but Baby isn’t recognized for it. Instead she is put into a practical learning class. “I didn’t bother explaining that I’d been on the honor roll at my last school. That I had to go to a program for kids who had learning disabilities made me sad beyond words.” (Page 202, O’Neil) Baby deserved more, considering she was on the honor roll. But because she had to go to a detention centre, the social worker basically forced her into going to this class.
I wanted to become an educator. Being raised in an impoverished area, my mom did her absolute best to provide for m sister and I the best way she knew how. While my mother invested in buying a home over 20 years ago, the depreciation of the neighborhood began heighten ad the schools around the area became low-income schools. The testing scores and the quality of teachers in that area offered a nervous feeling for my nephew to attend a school that did not offer the best education that
For the little girl in our story both sides of it effected her. Using care based ethics, she was given the chance to live in a caring home where she grew to know them as her parents. When we used rules based ethics, it helped her in the beginning and one could say hurt her in the end. She was forced to move back in with her birth parents after 9 years of not knowing them. The “parents” that she did know had no choice in keeping her or not.
Those few years were very hard, especially on my own. Finally, I realized in the end all you can really count on is your family and now we are closer than ever. My mother once told me the best thing she ever did was not listen to her parents and get her degree and I intend to do the
I was young and immature and was having to grow up way to fast. I wanted to prove to myself and my family that the choice I had made was a good choice. I needed to be a good parent and a devoted wife. I wanted to raise my children with their father together. I believed that was the right choice I was still making.
