While he had a rough start to life, with his dad dying unexpectedly when he was only three years old, he came out with a very successful life for himself. In his family, education was a vital part of life, and his mom would give them the best possible education that she could. Moore states: “My mother decided soon after our move to the Bronx that I was not going to public school. She wasn’t a snob, she was scared… But no matter how much the world around us seemed ready to crumble, my mother was determined to see us through it. When we moved to New York, she worked multiple jobs…whatever she could do to help cover her growing expenses” (47).
My father was left with 4 children to take care of all by him, I had to realize that he didn’t have help anymore that he had to be the mother and father of the house and the things I was doing was just adding on to the stress from my mother passing away. So then I asked myself the most life changing questions that I have ever asked myself what would my mother want?, what do I really want out of life? This caused me to go to school do all my work and even start communicating with my family and friends again. Then I realized that I really enjoy learning new things and advancing intellectually. I can say that my worst fear is being a failure Being a grown man wishing I finished high school or college, stressed out trying to figure how I’m about to pay my rent for next month and not being able to provide and help my family when they really need it.
Cody Sinkovics 9-23-2011 World Performance “The Guys” 1. One example that Joan showed restore behavior is at the beginning when she was explaining how she would wait for magazines to see what she was happening in New York.

Another example of her showing restored behavior is at the beginning when she was recalling on how she told her family and ask about if they have heard about the September 11th attacks because she was telling about a traumatic event. Finally, Nick shows an example by recalling all of his lost fire men personality on how he seen them through his daily life.
Every time Ricardo uses the word yearn, he symbolizes his desire and longing for home. Ricardo moved away from the place that he loved to go to college, and for the first time he was living in the moment. As soon as he started writing though, he retreated back to his comfort zone, which was his culture. On the other hand, Da-Duh could have experienced living in the moment if she had accepted the new life, which was in the form of the postcard. When Da-Duh’s granddaughter talks about the tall buildings, she brings up a postcard.
Moving out from my parents’ house I think that when the time comes to move out of your parents' home, you should be prepared for the independence. Was I really prepared?. The day I moved out from my parents’ house in Veracruz I was 19 years old and it was one of the weirdest days in my life because I was feeling so happy for the fact that I was going to be independent, but on the other hand I was sad because I was leaving my parents, the house where I grew behind and finally I didn’t know the big change that was coming. I was so happy packing my clothes, and excited for the new things I was going to experience away from my parents’ home, for example independence and the idea of starting a new family with my baby and my husband in San Diego.

Edward, the love of my life wasn't to pleased to hear that I'm going back there. He needs to understand that I'm doing this for me.There's this whole other side of me that I haven't even explored yet. My father is the other half of me that I've been waiting for. When I found him everything made sense. I had finished packing a bag for the weekend, just tired to pack the essentials.
I had tried my best to draw up a chore list for my own children. That never worked because then we would always have the fight that the daycare kids had made the mess and why should we have to clean this up. Then during daycare hours when it was almost time to go home I started “The Cleanup Cleanup Everyone Cleanup” Song (If you are a daycare teacher, you are very familiar with this song.) This and everything I did to help the problem, if anything, made the problem worse. So I made this decision cleaning the house while any of my kids or daycare kids were at home was like shoveling while it's still snowing.
