When I was born, I was known as Dominick Orlando but this is not true anymore. I am to be known as Dominick Yaeger. This all changed when I was adopted at a young age for which I am very thankful for. For the life, I am experiencing a much better one than I would have received. I have always partially felt that I was given away or not wanted although on the flip side, I knew I was picked by a family that cared enough to take me in and support me throughout my life. This family, my family gave me all the necessities I needed gave me a roof over my head and I never went hungry. Remembering once when I was a little boy when I first moved in with this new family I whispered into my brother's ear “I think we are rich now” this was a result for

The first settler and permeant occupant went by the name John Van Vlack and when he purchased 69 acres of land near the Nottawasaga River and started to turn the land into a better living environment. Unlike some plots, this sand sore was unattractive because of the sandy soil so John Van Vlack took that challenge and ran with it. He became a commercial fisherman, opened up a little convenient store and was the first postman in this settlement of his. That was in 1870 but in the 1820’s a man by the name of Jon Goessman started selling parts of the land for four shillings an acre. The land was unsuitable for farming but it did have a perk because Wasaga beach was full of lushes green trees and was the start of the logging industry that will

I have always know that I wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University. I have visited a few of them and fell in love with the atmosphere it. A HBCU is different from any other college. When I first looked into HBCU colleges to apply for, Fisk University was my first choice. I am interested in Fisk University because I feel it is the perfect fit for me.
Edward Weston was born during the spring of March 24, 1886, in Highland Park, Illinois. He was the only son out of the two kids. His older sister, Mary, who was nine years older than him ended up being his mother figure after their mother, Alice Jeanette Brett, died when he was just 5 years old. He would call her “May” or “Maize” and they were very close to each other and it was one of the most important relationships in Edward Weston’s life. Especially after their father, Edward Burbank Weston, remarried a woman with another son. They both did not get along with their step-mother or step-brother. Though they did not get along with the new additions to the family that did not mean that they didn’t get along with their father.
I used to feel uncomfortable and maybe even a little ashamed talking about myself and my family dynamics. I and use to be a cry baby and the middle child, but the year I turned ten years old, I was bump from middle child to the eldest daughter.

Imagine a couple flying millions of miles to adopt two children who have been abandoned by their parents. They gave me a second chance at a better life in the US. It all started in 2001, Saint Petersburg Russia, Carrie and Brendan flew over the seas. Traveled to a tiny town called Luga to pick up my brother and I. I was dressed in a child's dress and two hot pink bows. I was too young to remember most of these events but I’ve been told many times how it went. I was very curious when my parents came to meet me in the orphanage that I stayed in.
My setbacks and challenges through being a foster child took me on a journey that continues to greater things because God’s plan is big. Hardship did not overpower me in the end. I am surrounded by people who love me. Challenges that I came to encounter turned into things I would not change for the world, like my adoption, and my Christianity. That blaze that once tore the inside of me now dispenses
How does it feel to be adopted? Has life been altered as a result of being adopted? These questions have never fazed my view of being adopted. Awareness of being adopted began as far back as I can recall and has never been a taboo family topic. Adoption didn’t affect my life in any sort of way as a child. As I matured, the realization of the impact being adopted has had on my life has evolved. This insight created a new level of gratitude for my family and my life.
Throughout life I have experienced numerous events that have shaped me into becoming the person I am to this day. Out of all these events, my adoption has been the most significant and life changing event of my life. Two weeks before my first birthday in, I was adopted from Nanchang, China. As I grew up, my parents never once tried to conceal my adoption. Without them, I believe I would have grown to be a totally different person. Although I was adopted and brought in by my adoptive parents, I see myself in the everyday. I see them as nothing less than my real parents and I aspire to be as generous and compassionate as they are. Without them, I would have never been able to experience half of the life changing events I have gone through. As
At the age of six I was officially adopted by the Henry family. My name was changed, my history was left behind. Not only was my history left behind, however, so where my siblings. My parents were not able to adopt us all, causing all of to have to split up. This is one of the most traumatic moments in my life. I still remember being pried from my little brother’s arms, one of the most traumatic events in my life. I would have to say I was going through Identity versus role confusion at this time. Being adopted, for a long time, meant to me that I did not belong. I did not know who my brothers and sisters were. I also didn’t know my mother and father, which caused an emotional hit on me. This caused me to feel like I didn’t have an identity. I was confused and was unsure of how to deal with the stress that was being thrown at me.
A long time ago, in about 2004, I was born to two drug and alcohol addicts. We lived in Plano, Texas, in a disgusting apartment. We had cat and dog feces everywhere, and overall it wasn’t the best environment to raise a child in. But when I was about four and a half, my mother put me up for adoption without telling me. I ended up being adopted by my aunt and uncle, but although being four and a half, I will always remember that day vividly, because that was the first day I had experienced real love.
I grew up in a loving and somewhat sheltered environment. My parents made my adoption seem like a grand fairytale, and they were my happy ending. To them, adoption made me more special than the average kid, causing me to never think twice about my beginnings. I was the miracle child who brought joy to everyone I met. As a child, people would
