I was born in Northern, New York, about forty miles from the Canadian border in a wasteland of a town called Carthage, sixty miles from the nearest walmart. My mother, now Louise Percy, is ex-navy and worked for the federal government on Fort Drum until she retired ever since I was born. My father, Donald Bishop, was a beauty.

My mother and father split up and my father never fought for custody nor paid child support. My mother had been a single mom for ten years

By acting one way, and soon after becoming a helper and improving his behavior, Laurie was trying to figure out where he fit in. This story depicted irony, as the parents were unaware of the fact that Charlie did not really exist.

Throughout that time my dad was gone, my mom told me that she was getting the papers ready to divorce my dad.

The main argument in Alsulatny’s book chapter titled “Selling Multicultural American National Identity Post-9/11: Representing Arab- and Muslim-Americans in Non-Profit Advertising” is that the U.S. media attempted to combat the binary racial formation of “the citizen” and “the terrorist” that was created after 9/11, by presenting a Multicultural America. Alsultany discusses how post 9/11, advertisements were made in direct response to the hate crimes against Arabs and Muslims, cause by the terrorist stereotype they held at this time. These advertisements aimed to project the idea of a “new Multicultural America” to the American audience. She explains that these advertisements were ineffective, as they didn’t include people wearing traditional

She told me she'd be back for me. I remember her calling me saying she's coming for me, but she never showed up. It was heartbreaking as a child, growing up without parents in my daily life. I never got the embarrassment parents are supposed to do, or the protectiveness from my dad. I would cry myself to sleep at night just wishing I had them both back. It's been 10 years, I've grown up. I'm so mature and smart. It's really sad that I can keep a job but my own mother can't. I've tried reconnecting with her, it's a slow process but it's going good. I can't do anything about my father though, he's a lost cause. Life is a bag of shit sometimes but you just gotta ignore it and move on. I've fucked up a lot, I wish some things I could take back but then I wouldn't be who I am now. I carry a lot of emotional baggage with me, A list of past histories, and A tragic backstory. I've had my heart broken more than once, and I've been used more than I can remember. I just hope that this relationship I'm in now last a fucking long time, because holy hell this guy, I pretty much worship him. He's everything to me. He's the type who doesn't complicate my life, he makes it easier to life

Every-time I see the faintest glimmer of him caring I realize I’m not done with him and deep down I still care and want him to care about me too so I get my hopes up, but then he always lets me down again. I am not a violent person, I rarely swear, and I hate fighting with people. Somehow whenever I am talking to my dad all of those things bubble up inside of me, I get violent, angry, and I can honestly say that he is the only person I’ve ever sworn at. I hate being that person, but I’m so stupid that if I get the chance to see him I jump at it. I hope eventually I can tell myself I’m done with him and deep down it will actually be true and I can be free from the
