The story of Aiden and Jayla is a long and eventful one. They are an interracial couple who worked hard in life for themselves and each other. They had many problems in their lives and relationship yet they always managed to come out of the chaos unscathed. Jayla had a difficult childhood that kept her busy. She was an African American girl living with a working class family. She had problems with her family which even increased when her parents refused to buy her vegetarian meals. She just didn’t like the taste of meat. She had a child at 16 and was forced to raise the child on her own. It was an untimely pregnancy like 88% of teen births in the US. When she was 14, she thought she had found the love of her life in a classmate of hers …show more content…
They got married two and a half years after they started dating. This early marriage is quite rare nowadays. Their gender roles in the family skewed some from traditional views. Both of them helped raised the children, worked for a living, and took care of the trailer. The fact that both of the parents worked made it unlike a monolithic family. Jayla wanted to extend the family early because she wanted to have children while she had healthy eggs and have more energy to keep up with them. Her fertility was better because she was a vegetarian so it increased by eating proteins from plants and not animals. Eleven months after they were married Jayla gave birth to her second child, a baby boy named Kyle.
Their relationship didn’t come without its share of problems. A while into their relationship they noticed people border patrolling against them. People were treating them like they were abnormal just because they were an interracial couple. Their relationship seemed even more abnormal because it was a white man with a black woman. Later on, Aiden was arrested for assault on Jayla’s supervisor for sexually harassing her. Her supervisor was not charged with anything because harassment is in the eye of the beholder and co-workers saw no harm in what the supervisor was doing. They just believed that Aiden was overreacting. Even worse, he lost his job as a researcher at a local university because of that. Fortunately, Jayla had completed her GED a

She wasn’t able to do basic things any typical human would have been able such as use a proper working toilet or get a proper education from a school. Jaycee also was not being fed properly and starved for quite a while. “I’m so hungry that's all I can think of. There is nothing good on television. It’s so nice having a TV to watch whenever I want to; I really shouldn’t complain” (Dugard, 59). Even though Jaycee was in a very unfortunate situation, she was still thankful for being able to have a TV to watch. Which makes the reader realize how to be thankful for even having a TV and having food available to eat. Jaycee also had two children throughout the book. “I am seventeen years old and about to have my second baby” (Dugard, 122). Jaycee having her children had a huge impact on her life. As the reader reads through the good times and bad times with Jaycee’s children, the reader will realize Jaycee’s kids actually saved her in a way and gave her hope to be rescued. Also, the reader can realize even though Jaycee was very positive about having her children, the reader should think about how thankful they are for being able to have children at the time in life they want
Three years ago, Rylie Morrison’s relationship with Cole and Cord Heeney went down the tubes. Now the twins are back in Pleasure and she’s longing for them like never before. She hasn’t gotten over them and one night proves the chemistry is still there, but so are the issues that tore them apart. As a romance author, she wants desperately to believe that true love can conquer all, but real life is often so different than fiction.

Right now, Jessa and Jana are working together to renovate their parent's guest home. This is getting done so that Jill and Derick Dillard can stay there when they are home for a few months. Jana Duggar is the one who does most of the stuff like this for the Duggar family, and when her sister Jessa Seewald gives her opinion she doesn't agree with it.
With a desire to feel needed, “poor girls coming of age in the inner city value children highly, anticipate them eagerly, and believe strongly that they are up to the job of mothering” (Edin and Kefalas). Having a child often inspires these teens by giving them a “compelling sense of purpose” (Edin and Kefalas). Women begin to put themselves, and their partners, to higher standards, causing them to leave the man in most cases and thrive on independence. I found it inspiring that Jen understood that her “whole life revolved around [Rick]… so [she] always messed up somehow because [she] was so busy worrying about what he was doing” (Edin and Kefalas). However, when she left him, she went back to school to get her GED in hopes of becoming economically stable and raising her child in the best possible situation.
Please keep our LES/SRE family in your thoughts this week after they lost a precious student last week (Jayla was the daughter of the Pre-K Para at SRE). I did go by the services on Saturday morning and it was so endearing to see so many members of the LES family, Ms. Perrin, and Ms. Terry in attendance.
Greetings from the PASADAC Family Ministries! Our goal in 2017 is to provide education, training, resources and opportunities to strengthen or rebuild families. Families at PASDAC could range from a member and their pet to a member their parents, grandparents or sibling. Regardless of our configuration, we all reside in families. Healthy families prepared for heaven is the utmost desire and focus of the ministry. 1Corinthians 13 is the biblical passage for contemplation and we will also be discovering our love language. Once we have discovered our love language we will use them in our homes and in our church
Lauren started dating a guy she met during her first year of University. I have never been in a relationship before and have no idea what a relationship is all about. When she came back for the summer, she would talk to me about conflicts that would arise in her relationship. I could never give her my opinion or suggestion because I have no personal experiences in a relationship. Now that she has a boyfriend I find it hard to connect and relate to some of the problems she wants to talk about. Unplanned Parenthood from Secrets & Confidences focuses on the conflict between Jennifer and her friends. Jennifer is unable to have kids and all her friends are starting families. She feels as if she can not relate to her friends anymore since they would spend a lot of time talking about their kids. She feels more comfortable talking with male friends because they never talk about their families. Jennifer stated that: “I don’t fit in. But now I don’t fit in because I’m exotic to them, not because I’m tragic” (Munro,139). To relate Jennifer’s conflict to my friendship, I feel exotic like Jennifer because all my friends have boyfriends and I feel like I don’t belong
Throughout this semester, I constructed several writing prompts that supported me in creating detailed assignments. Although each one of these writing prompts have assisted me in producing a solid final product, writing prompt six inspired me to elaborate as thoroughly as possible for my ‘Family Tree Project’. Through interviews and online resources, I have been able to discover a substantial amount of information about generations before me. I learned about my older relatives, the significance my family had in their community, and the diversity of my ethnicity. When discussing with my distant cousin Lonnie Melton about my great grandparents, I discovered my great grandmother was a Cherokee Indian. As I constructed writing prompt six, I dove
For my genius hour project, I decided that I am going to researching my family history and my family past, where my family is from. It sounds really cool to learn about my family history and where they came from? I really want to know where my family is from because I want to know where I am also from and what I have parts of the world are in me. I know that most of my family is from Europe, that is all I really knew before I started this project. But I did not know what parts of Europe my family came from. I really wish that I could know where all of my family is from and what their last names mean. My thesis for the genius hour project is to find out where my family came from, how old they were when they came to America. And did my family
Everything was about to change, we wouldn’t order take-out on Sundays, it was a big deal, I was losing my best friend, the only father figure I have ever had so far. I watched him taking all of his stuff out of the apartment, I was getting more and more mad. Wasn’t our beautiful relationship enough to make him stay? I even blame myself I thought I had done something wrong, maybe wearing his clothes and leaving them all messy, I apologize and swear not to do it again, but it didn’t matter the decision was already made.
