I am very interested in starting a specific service project my junior year for CAS hours and this would be a great help to me with that. I think that I would be a valuable attendee to CASL because I am a freshman. Anything I learn can be used for all the rest of my four years of high school. I would also be a valuable attendee to the CASL conference because I would easily be able to make up the work that I miss on that Monday from school. I am also one of the older ones out of all my classmates so I would like to go to CASL so that I can learn to be a better leader to those who might look up to me.
My son Kaleb was born May 24 2008, and from that moment on I wanted to give him everything he deserves. I tried to go back to college right after my son was born, but I had no idea what I wanted to do for my future and taking care of Kaleb wasn't cheap. I was constantly working to pay for the expenses of Kaleb, while paying for the rest of the expenses I had. Finally four years later, I made the best decision I could for my family and that was going back to school. One of the many reasons why I came back was that I did not was to continue being in a factory the rest of my life.
Throughout the story, Tori talked about her family. At one point in the story, she stated she wanted to accomplish her journey for her younger brother. Although we will miss our families while we’re away from them, we have to finish what we started so not only will we be proud of ourselves, but they will be proud of us as well. Although the challenges we face might not be as challenging as Tori Murden McClure’s, we all face them every day. I believe this book was selected to teach us that as students, we will face numerous
The choice was difficult yet necessary, as I knew that my parent’s desire for me to return to school was influencing me. The need for a better life for me and my family was the most significant reason. Multi-tasking home tasks, work life, and college seemed overwhelming, yet necessary to restart a life that leads me in the right direction. The thought of returning to school was intimidating since I wasn’t quite sure of what I wanted to do. Sacrifice was something that I had to learn to tolerate when returning to school.
Everything that Miss Moore put the kids through was to teach them a lesson and I feel like my parents did the same for me; they taught me a lesson to show me that life is not perfect and I do not get everything I want. Lucky for me, once I got out into the real world it was not shocking to me that everything did not go the way I wanted it to be. On the other hand Marissa had everything when she was younger, but once she got out into the real world it would be hard for her to accept life’s obstacles. Buying one’s way to happiness will never work and even though I still do not have everything I am happier than I ever
But I want to point one girl out that has left a huge impact on my life. Kenzie. You have been my number one supporter, a best friend, and a teammate. After every game I could not wait to get a text from you telling me what I did well and how much you loved me. I don’t think you understand how much you have mentally helped me this year.
I did not want my son to think that I just gave him away because I did not love him or want him. I know I would never have a peace of mind if I went this route. I looked through adoption profiles of couples who were hoping to adopt. All their stories broke my heart and made me wish I had a baby for each of them. I then realized once more how incredibly lucky I was to be able to have a baby and the chance to love, care, and nurture him.
Being the first person in my family to get a college degree makes me feel so good. Setting example for children and letting them see that mommy can do it is priceless. The things that we do in life as far as school wise are thing we can take us to the next level is just a lot of us lose hope we are not sure where to go. I though getting a high school diploma was fine for me. I felt school was not for me because I have dyslexic and, I feel people just don’t want to help me.
I have family members who are always saying negative things to me like- “It’s too expensive to attend college,” you’ll never find time,” it’s too late,” and etc. I have long separated from some of these family members because I needed boundaries and knew they were not part of my eventual goals for my life. I ultimately knew that if I didn’t separate, my dreams and a piece of myself would die. As a result, I make sure to concentrate my energy on various healthy challenges and this has helped me to forget about the negative words and impacts in my life. Thank God- that I have been able to succeed in most of my goals.
If he would not have gone to police academy, he would not have been able to afford to pay child support. Because my parents furthered their education, they were able to find good paying jobs that provided for their family, whether they were together or not. Having such good role models in my life, I have always taken my education very seriously. Even when I was just in grade school, I just had to have all A’s on my report card, and when I did not, I thought the world was coming to an end! With the drive I have to succeed in my academics in high school, I can definitely take
