In life, any unexpected occurence can change a person's perception of the world and open them up to questioning life as they know it. It was Albert Einstein that said "if you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects" and for most of my life, my goal was to be who everyone else wanted me to be. I based my hopes and dreams off the expectations of the people around me because I thought they had my best interests at heart, I never did what i wanted and I even made sure to
When one grows up, he or she has many different life experiences, each leaving a memory or lesson to grasp. These experiences also impact their personality, since everyone is generally shaped by their surroundings. For instance, one that grows up in a wealthy neighborhood is likely to socialize with people of the same social class. The same is true for one that grows up in a middle or working class neighborhood. As a result, people within a certain sector of society have two choices when they approach
A lot of memories in my past were mostly good but then again I will never forget this tragic time in my life I was around the age of 11 or 12 and I loved film making. I would watch videos all day from blockbuster movies to short films, but one day I decided to make something I saw on the internet….Vinegar and baking soda bomb I saw the video where two boys grabbed vinegar and baking soda put it in a water bottle shook it up and chucked in the as the pressure built up from the vinegar and baking soda
Throughout my life, facing adversity in the least expectant of times has greatly impacted my life and has molded me into the person that I am today. Times where I felt like I had so much pressure on my shoulders, all while being alone, has had a dominantly positive fixture on my education, further allowing me to exhibit educational ideals that my parents have worked so hard for me to conquer and display. Inconceivable tragedies such as the hospitalization of a loved one or even an economic depression
It was a night that I will always remember. It brings me great joy and gives me deep pride. It is one of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced in my life. It was and still is a moment that I look back on and reminisce. It all started when I was working for a private company at Tinian Dynasty Hotel and Casino. I worked in the casino department as a Casino Dealer. I have played basketball tournaments in high school and in government leagues, but none of them compared when playing in a Tinian
I woke up got myself ready and went down stairs to eat breackfeast. Me and my brothers waited in the kitchen for my dad to take us to school. I was worried to go especially a lot of kids hated my because I was annoying or in other words I wouldn't support there ideals. But there was one paticullary person in mind that was friends with me, her name is Daisy. I known Daisy since I was in First grade, and been friends every since. One of the reasons why I became friends with her was because kids would
Life was less than desirable. My parents had just gotten divorced, and I was starting the sixth grade. With middle school comes maturation. With maturation comes emotion and hormones. I was a mess of both. I found myself walking around the halls with no happiness whatsoever. I sought refuge in my music, for the lyrics and poetry spoke to me on a level that no one else understood. One day, I was walking in the hallway during transition, when I noticed a kid my age wearing a shirt of a band that I
For the vast majority of my life I didn’t believe I could do most of the things I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to be in a relationship, but I feared that if I got into one I’d do something to mess it up. I wanted to perform on Broadway, but even moving to New York City didn’t give me the courage to audition. I wanted to be a writer, but I thought it was far too difficult to get published and therefore didn’t even try until my late twenties. Maybe you’ve never been as unsure of yourself as I
There’s a lot of farms and sagebrush, so you bet I know how to milk a few goats and cows. My parents came to this country, from Mexico, because of more opportunities and more for their children. They have always had the work hard and get what you earn attitude, so they would pick up 2 jobs at a time and not be home as much. Until my mom got rheumatoid arthritis and that held her back and now only has one job. My parents have showed me that with hard work and perseverance, you can do anything you put
My sibling and I were fortunate to have a privileged upbringing that centers around literature. I have fond memories of literacy at a young age. I remember my parents reading bedtime stories to me like three blind mice, brown bear, the whole collect of nursery rhymes and Dr. Seuss books. I still have my childhood nursery rhymes book. My parents have always been an avid reader and still purchase a newspaper every day to this day. When my older brother (3) and I (2) went to a daycare called
