When We Feel Helpless
Are you facing an overwhelming problem that seems no ending? Do you feel helpless? Did you ask yourself what’s going on? Did you say, I don’t really know what to do? I don’t know where to go?
They said life is short and beautiful we need to enjoy and live like there’s no tomorrow. But how can I be happy of what’s happening in my life. I’m a very simple person and a good daughter and I acknowledge that I am not perfect but I’m trying my best to be a good person. I worked so hard for so many long years in my life and always in my heart to help my family. I married so late since my heart is to help my family and my brother and sisters. Time comes when I decided to get married at my 36th years of age, a very nice guy that

My husband loved his son so very much, which I do really understand him as he stands as a mother and a father to his son. Because I loved my husband I respect his decision being with his 17 years old son living with us. I just hold on to the love and promises we have made together as husband and wife and really try to understand my husband even though I’m not use to be with a very aggressive attitude and un respectful son as the days goes by my husband son is more violent toward my husband and being hooked with all kinds of different drugs, my husband was really trying to guide and help his son but it seems so more and more problems. I became pregnant twice and lost it because of the stress that I can’t handle and even feeling to leave my husband because I can’t stand anymore to live together with his son. I know my husband is always protecting me but still so worried about what’s going to happen next. All I know is that my husband son is really trying to do his best to break our marriage because of his selfishness and jealousy. My husband and I are really trying to help him we even asked help to have a counseling just to keep our family okay. It was May 2010 when I gave birth to a baby girl, she is my third pregnancy, my husband is happier ever and were very thankful to our God that we have a precious adorable girl, she’s everything for us. I thought this will change everything because my husband son has a little sister and thought that he will change and respect us at least, but were wrong. My daughter was only three years old when my husband son made a story just to get what he wants that we will be separated from his Dad my husband. The authority believed what the story is and we have been separated since 2013 of February and it was a big mess. And it was too late when my husband son realized what they did is wrong, it was
Riding a unicycle is probably pretty interesting. I originally wanted my parents to get me a pogo stick for christmas because they never got me one when i was little, but they couldn’t find an adult sized one in their budget. So they figured something else that is equally strange would suffice, and it really seemed to fit my personality.The reason I started my essay with a reference to my unicycle is because it shows some good aspects of my character. Since riding a unicycle took multiple months for me to master, it shows that I am persistent, even if I fall a few times. Though riding a unicycle is interesting and fun, it’s not my main priority. I’m extremely passionate for film and theatre, and there are a few things about me that really do a fantastic job at getting me ready for a career in acting.
Currently, as a recent graduate from the University of West Georgia I am working close with autistic adult’s where I help and monitor their behavior. Working for a company called Gentility I’ve found myself so in love with what I do. Helping another individual learn and make every day decisions no matter the circumstances really made me realize the value of opportunity and seizing that moment while in it. After graduating I had a lot of time on my hands, and job searching has not been the easiest task. And in my opinion, it’s definitely a job within itself and I’ve really had to grasp the definition of patience. Overall although college landed me some of the most difficult times in my life, it also held the most prized and best times of my
Each individual is created to live their life uniquely. Each person has their own beliefs and opinions. They shape how one perceives others and how one affects others whether it be personally,locally, or globally.
Overcoming my timidness may not seem like such an important deed, but when I look back, I recognize how much it held me back. The fear of speaking up crippled me and caused me to be unable to speak my mind. The black hole that consumed my life was my own insecurity. I started my first year of high school perfectly content living without a voice, as long as I was not the center of attention, I was at peace. During my junior year, I decided that it was finally time to face my challenge head on. I did the one thing that scared me most, I ran for treasurer for both the senior class and National Honors Society. At the time I made the decision, I knew that an important part of being an officer was speaking in front of my peers and teachers. I made
After being bullied a great deal in middle school, I stepped into freshman year of high school with a lack self-esteem and trust in myself. I didn’t believe I could make top ten percent in my class, I didn’t believe I could pass the Pre-AP classes my parents had signed me up for and, I didn’t believe I could make friends. The most amazing thing about this, was that not only did I prove to myself that I could succeed at everything that I had once doubted myself in, but my experience in regaining my self-esteem completely changed my personality and created the person I am today.
They say that there is nothing to fear but fear itself, yet I tend to disagree. Our world is packed full of things to be afraid of. As a child, we are afraid of the dark or monsters hiding underneath our beds; but, as we grow with wisdom and age, those fears become bigger and more worldly. We fear things like terrorism or illness. The fear that consumes me most is that my best might never be enough.
Everyone has to make choices in their life. Some are everyday choices, like what to eat or drink. Others are more critical, like choosing a job. Important decisions take time to comprehend. Like with me, the decision to go to college was the most critical choice in my life and for my future, and I will never regret it. Going to college is important because it helps me find a job, it expands my knowledge, and it is a wonderful experience.
Former baseball player Tommy Lasorda once said, “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.” The journey of our life is full of winding paths and concrete obstacles whose sole goal is to slow us down, and to attempt to block us from reaching our ultimate goal in life, whatever that may be. These barriers are there for several different reasons, whether it be mental or physical. Sometimes these obstacles are motivated by fear, other times they exist simply because we have to make a decision, and that decision can be life changing. But through our determination, and through our perseverance, we can achieve what these barriers told us was impossible, and can pursue the path in our life that leads us to our ultimate self. Throughout my life, I have had thousands of barriers stand in my path. And the only way I was able to defeat them was through conquering my fears, and breaking my limits in order to achieve excellence.
Great post Skyler! You make a great point that things in life are bound to go differently than we plan. Aging is especially unpredictable and life can go from good to bad in seconds. You are right that the only way to be happy in life is to have a positive attitude and accept the good along with the
Every day, every one, in the world goes through a challenge, big or small. They affect and impact us significantly. They change the way we think, love, act, and approach or do things. Challenges either frighten or motivate us, but they are what make us the person we are today.
Feeling like a failure is common among young adults, especially those in college. I've been coping with several failures this past year, most of which stemmed from ignoring my intuition and my rebel against western medicine. However, I’ve come to realize that acknowledging defeat and mindfully moving forward is the first step towards creating a life of success.
Being chained from ignorance can cause devastating effect on a person’s life. In reality, most people do not want to believe in the truth but prefer to blind themselves from what is occurring around the world. Being ignorant is the back bone of prejudices and bias. Many individuals are chained to the wall of ignorance. It might be because of self-preference or cultural influence. Many are fearful of change because of what they might not understand or the refusal to understand one’s culture. United States is cultivated as one of the most diverse countries in the world. Due to this melting pot, there are numerous multicultural ideas, religion, cultural values and sexuality. Every individual must have a sense of self-identity
I could have done better. I believe that I can always improve and get better. The Power of an Insecurity is one of my least favorite essays that I’ve ever wrote. It was an essay that I felt nervous while writing, as I was now in a college class. I have my losses in this paper and I have my victories, but my ability to better myself in my writing is always improving.
Friday was movie day in kindergarten. Most students could not wait to get out of their seats, join their friends on the carpet, and watch, eyes glued to the television screen, as a story unfolded before them. However, I was quite possibly the only exception to this majority. I was the extremely shy kid who always seemed to cry at school. Substitute teacher? I would cry. School assembly? I would cry. My teacher announcing it was time for a movie? I would cry. I remember staying home an extra day after having the flu one time just to avoid going to school on a Friday. The four kindergarten teachers at my elementary school knew they needed to devise a plan to keep me from dreading Fridays, and they decided to bank on one of my biggest
I thought was fully prepared for college when I walked across the stage on June 1st, 2015, but I was completely wrong. College is a whole new lifestyle that you eventually learn to adapt to everyday. The advice you hear from parents everyday is something you take with you as you navigate throughout campus. Some of the previous advice my mother gave to me is the advice I should of listened to. Now that I am older and on my own, it’s up to me to figure out how everything works.
