1999, the year my parents moved into a house. It was small at first, but they built an entire new addition including a crawl space. The family that lived here before us had three sons; Reggie, Steve, and Phil. They had these shelves for all of them in the basement. All labeled in permanent marker. I started searching in the boxes to see if i can find anything. I was searching by myself for two hours. All i found was three boxes of what appeared to be baby clothes. There was one last box I haven't checked. Then I decided to go to the basement. So i went down into the basement and started looking inside boxes. Reggie's box was the one we hadn't checked. I reached my arms up so i could get ahold of it and brought it down. I looked through for …show more content…
Why was it up here? I asked my mom and she didn't know what doll i was talking about. She hasn't seen the doll in years. About one week later, i was pouring myself a glass of water. The sink wasn't working great. When i tried to twist the handle, it started spitting water out slowly then fast in that pattern. I figured it had to do with the filter since its as old as this house. So i went down to the basement and the filter was the issue. I just had to twist something a little bit because it was loose which caused the weird spitting pattern. I figured while I'm down here i could just look around for a minute. Mainly because i haven't been down here in a while. I looked into the crawlspace. It looks like something out of a horror movie my mother would sometimes say. For a second I imagined the doll all the way in the middle of the crawlspace. I could see it in my mind. It would look just perfect like it lived there. The thought of it staring down at me from that spot is just terrifying. I really wanted to see this. I always loved scary things. This would be a great picture to have. I went upstairs and grabbed the doll and came down to the basement. I was going to go in the crawlspace right there but something stopped me. Something was telling me this was a bad idea. Something out of a horror movie that was very true. It did in fact look like it was in a horror film. So i stood up on a chair and crawled into the crawlspace. I really did not want
Midway into my sophomore year of high school is when I learned that my family will be moving to Massachusetts due to my father’s job relocation. At first, I was set to move to Massachusetts with my family, which meant transferring to my third high school in three years and having to switch to a different club soccer team during the most important year of recruiting for college soccer. Then, an opportunity was presented to me in which I would be able to stay at my current high school and my current soccer team. The opportunity being that I would stay with a close family friend who attended the same school and plays for the same soccer team, but in exchange I would have to leave my mother and father for the next two years of my life. My family and I thoroughly discussed the plan and after many heated arguments and fights, we finally decided that I would stay behind and stay with the Williams family for the next two years of my life. This life changing opportunity has slowly but surely helped me transition from a child into a young adult.
It was the summer of ’95 and one day I woke up and felt really sick. I lived alone ever since the passing of my dear husband, John, since I lived alone I needed someone to take care of me just in case something really horrible went wrong! Well anyway, I had called my daughter that morning and she sent little red riding hood on an adventure to get to my house to spend the night. About 45 minutes later I heard a loud knock on the door, being the curious
Changes in life can be tough to go through and sometimes they can be easy. Some of these things are harder than others and some can be a better choice. Like moving is one thing that changed my way i looked at people. Then there is growing up, growing up can be hard. Last but not least there is education. These things that you experience can change your perspective on how you look at life.
America is seen as the land of opportunity in that there are endless possibilities for an individual. In this land of opportunity, Americans strive to obtain the ideal known as the American dream. The American Dream is seen as the accomplishment of an ambition achieved while challenged by adversity.1 Americans often associate this success with the ownership of a home. The home is not simply a place of basic protection; there is a much deeper connection to the individual. Ownership of a home grants freedom and security that establishes a sense permanency for the individual. In contrast, renting a living space possesses a semblance of instability and dependence.2 The desire to improve ones’ position in life inspires one to

It was the first Sunday of December morning when my father asked me to take some boxes to the basement, I had never been down there, as a kid I always thought it was scary, but know as a 19-year-old guy, how could I say no. I went downstairs with a couple of boxes, but could not find any place to put them. The area was a mess, so I decided that I would organize every box that was there. While I was organizing, I notice this one box hidden in the back, so, I decided to open it. Inside the box, there was a newspaper and a couple of burnt pictures. Therefore, I decided to read the article, I could not understand much, it was an 18 years old newspaper, but it talked about a burning house with two twin babies, It said that one had been saved with no harm while the other one was rescued later on with severe burn mark. It was a miracle that other baby had survived, they called him miracle Carlos, and his brother Richard. I stood there for a second before my brain processed
The parents were fed up with our wild animal like behavior and told us to play downstairs in the basement. We all went down the basement and started to playing tag. Therefore, we had to be careful playing because the basement was not finished at the time and had metal studs where the walls are supposed to go and the concrete floors that are now hardwood. When everybody went upstairs because they were as tired as an olympic runner after a meet my Dad came down to fix a light bulb. He used a ladder to fix it so he could reach and when he was done he went upstairs so I was the only one in the basement. I wanted to be like my Dad so I decided to climb the ladder. I was at the top when my foot slipped off the ladder. Somehow I was able to turn my body around and grab onto a pipe to stop myself from falling. I felt the pipe starting to brake so I decided to swing on to the metal stud next to me because I was sure that was going to hold me. When my
Moving house is an exceptionally distressing background and the procedure can request. From contracting expulsion administrations and pressing to reaching different providers to change individual points of interest, the experience can end up plainly riotous.
There is always the common question what does it take to get a first time home buyers loan? And the answer is there is so much that goes into the process of getting a home loan.

Today millennials are seemingly unaware of the benefits of homeownership. I know this because of the lack of effort given by most of this group to do what it takes to become a homeowner. I currently work a supervisor at a debt collection agency here in Anchorage, AK. I see more and more individuals who seem to not car about bills that are in collections. A lot of younger consumers are seeming to hang up, not care or get overwhelmed by so many bills, especially medical. It’s very unfortunate when you know someone care about their bills and credit and just happens to get in binds. However, I find this is not the case with younger consumers. Paying bills are just not a priority it seems. I was born March 27,1989. For me when I was in high
