Describe The World You Come Analysis

I did not realise at the time but my step father was growing anger towards me and my siblings. This caused a lot of tension between my mother and stepfather. Then one night he just got so angry that he hit my mother. She was so distraught that she had no idea what to do. I took the liberty of calling the police so that I could protect my brother and sister. From this experience I was able to learn how to stand up for myself and be very independent. I gained the ability to know that it is okay to do the right thing even if it will make some people not like you or if it will destroy a

I was 9 years old when my mom came to with a question she had. She made it sound really serious, I thought something horrible happened. When she finally got to the question it turned out to be amazing! She asked me if I wanted and was okay with moving to Florida. Of course me being 9 thought it was such exciting news. I obviously said yes, but a few months later made me regret my decision.

Another critical moment in my life that changed me forever occurred in August of 2001. At the peak of hurricane season, Louisiana was terribly affected by Hurricane Katrina. Katrina devastated millions of people across the south. For the first time in my life I got to experience what it felt like to be homeless. I had lost everything! And even though it was not much, it still mattered. There were several moments when I prayed and wished that my father could be there. No child, my age should have to go through with what I did. In hopes to find assistance, my mother left me and my siblings with my grandmother for a few months. These months were terrifying. I remember crying several nights

When I was about four years old my dad was still working in the military. Then one late afternoon my dad calls a family meeting in the dining room then BOOM he tells us that he got a new job offer and that we’re moving virginia. I didn't really know what that meant cause I was 4 but my sister was devastated Because she had tons of friends at school and at home and she liked it. So we packed our bags and set out to virginia.

The first time I was ten. I received news that my grandmother, whom I resided with at the time, developed stage 4 breast cancer. Upon learning this, my mind flooded with worry because no one could tell me if my grandmother would survive, or if the next day would be my last chance to spend time with the one I loved most.

I grew up not seeing my mother for days and practically was with my aunt all the time because she worked three jobs. As I started getting older she quit some of her jobs because she didn’t want me to grow up and feel like she missed out on a lot even if she had me living with her. She didn’t want me to go through what the rest of my brothers and sisters went

That same night. my uncles and my dad took us where we lived for about a year. We lived with his friend´s family. There was only one bathroom and we had some problems because of that. We were six and they were four only. My dad started to think about renting an entire apartment, but we could not because my mom did not have a job. My dad was the only one who paid the rent which was $500 for a month. He was responsible to buy food and pay for all of our other needs.

The most memorable moment that has changed my perspective in life was when I had to move from Upstate New York to Connecticut (CT). I moved in 2014 with my sister to my half brother’s house. It all started in the summer when my sister and I went to go visit my half brother in CT. When we arrived, that part of the family welcomed us in a way in which no one from my mother’s side of the family has ever done before. That alone made me feel special; as if I was actually loved by my father's side of the family. Therefore, we spent some time with them. We also went to six flags which, quite frankly, was the highlight of the year. We had a blast until my father came up with the idea of sending my sister to CT. He wanted to do this because she was hanging out with people that had bad habits such as

Later, when I was roughly 14 years old, my father came home one day after work and announced that he wanted a divorce. At this point in my life, I was old enough to know what was going on and what all the fighting meant; he had cheated on my mother again. It turns out that he had been having an affair with yet another mistress for a few months before he finally decided that he was going to leave. Once most of the fighting was done for the night, my father gathered all his things and left the house. At that very moment, I knew my life was about to change

I remember my mother going to bed without food so that i can eat,thats sad but she had to do it.Lots of parents wouldn't do that but i'm thankful that i had a mother with a heart.There are so many kids get abandon just because the mother can't bare the burden alone to support or run a home on her own.Then on the other hand you have a woman like my mother who stuck it out.She managed to raise five kids on her own,with little help from the state.

My mother was a single parent ever since her first child was born in 1988. My mother had three girls and adopted one boy, because after I was born she was told she couldn’t have any more kids. My mom was working for the state as an accountant, even with that job my mom still wasn’t making ends met. We went time where we didn’t have lights or running water, so we would go next door to my great-grandmothers house to get

My mother stopped working when I was 13 so she would have more time to spend with me. This really helped me to go through a lot of my life problems. She is selfless that she gave up her career for me to grow as a teenager. She is the best mom ever.

I was about 11 years old and my 5th grade teacher told me to write about the best moment that had happened to me in the past 3 years. This was hard for me, because my friend’s would write about how they got a new Ipod or how they got a new bike but me, the lonely 11 year old girl, would write about how her dad finally was granted complete custody of me and my brother. I wrote about how he picked us up from our horrible school and unenrolled us and took us home, to our real home. I described how my dad looked like he just won the lottery and my brother and I just couldn’t let go of him.

It was my summer break and I was getting myself ready to go to fifth grade and I was preparing myself to start a my fifth grade at a different school. My summer break was going so well, my dad had recently lost his job because where he worked the business closed. So for a while we were only living off the income my mom was making, and that wasn't much because she is a kindergarten teacher. I never thought that my parents would have to sit my brother and I down and tell us that my dad got a job, but his job wouldn't be near us.
