Growing up my parents would always teach my siblings and I to be the best we could in anything. Whether we liked it or not my siblings and I would always do things to our best ability. I was about seven years old when all of us started to realize that things at home were changing. My older siblings knew exactly what was going on at the time and would always tell me something to just make me go away, or to think that nothing was going on. I thought about my life at that time, every good thing that happened to me was a blessing. Having a mother who would wake my little brother and I to some good breakfast, she would walk us to the bus stop every morning, and we would pray that the day would be great. Life then was fantastic, not too many worries other than how many cavities I would have at the dentist. Shortly after I turned 8 years old, I could see a change in my parents. They weren't how they used to be. I would come home from school and not find my mom at the bus stop waiting for me, I would come into the house and see men in suits. As a child I didn't know what was going on, but when I saw my older sister cry, I was terrified. No more than a couple days went by and my sister told me what was going on. She told me there was nothing to really worry about. She told me that since my dad came to the united states with a work visa, we as a family weren't allowed to stay after it expired unless we had our resident documents, which we did not. So she explained to me that my parents were going to get a divorce and “marry” an american citizen. At first I was confused, but it all came together later. As a family, we would go visit this white woman, and we were told to make friends with her children, and that we would be like a family for a while. My parents seemed to have really needed those documents, and did everything they could to get them. After they got their fake divorce any my dad was going to marry this lady, my mom started to move some items into my aunt's house just to stay with her for a while. I loved going to my aunt's house, there was always something going on that made it fun. I would always see my mom with one of her close friends, he would always try to make me and my little brother laugh. He told
When I was a child, most of the stories or situations I have been through was, mostly, my dad hitting me and my parents fighting constantly; so pretty much I did not really grew up watching Barney, traveling to places, and going to Disneyland often. I thought I would have to live like this for the rest of my academic life, but one day around the age of eight, my dream came true. My parents had enough of each other, so they went their own ways; even though, I was glad that I do not have to life miserably anymore, I was not. I thought that everything would settle down and live a calm life with my mom, but as a result, I ended up raising my two siblings. My dad left the house, my mom was in her own world, and I had to watch my siblings. I thought my parents divorce would benefit me, but all it did was for me to not live as an eight-year-old would. I thought that my dream of going to a great university and becoming a Physician Assistant came crashing down. A couple weeks later, my dad came back and long-story short, my siblings and I had to go hang out with my dad for
There have been many painful and life changing experiences in my days, but the most unforgettable and also life changing experience was the time I was ran over by a golf cart.

I like to myself agnostic, even though I was brought up to be Jewish my whole life. I would like to start from the very beginning. My father was brought up reformed Jewish. My mother’s parents are Jewish even though she was not brought up Jewish. When my mother became older her religion became a lot more important to her, and by association it would be forced to be important to me.
Sociology wasn’t something that I was familiar with throughout my life. However, now that I know the basics of sociology, I can identify the various ways to study behaviors. These forces have molded who I have become as a person and how I interact with society.

All through this semester, I have begun to reminisce back on my life and pull apart the different ways that I have been affected and how they can be looked at sociologically.

“Unblock Me” – “Unblock Me” – “Unblock Me.” This is how I have paralleled my life – to a popular app called “Unblock Me”. The main objective of this game is to clear a path for a red block by sliding the other blocks out of the way, all while moving as little as possible to achieve the highest score. Although moving as little as possible could get one the highest score, the game allows one to move as much as needed. I played this game often as a child. Back then, I only understood the purpose of the game as moving the blocks out of the way with minimal moves. The more I played this game as I got older, I constantly changed my methods. I reflected on my moves with urgency because of the timer and I moved with diligence because the numbers of moves that were recorded. Still with these techniques, I did not fully understand the way to reach the maximum score of 500, which is the ultimate win.
There are many different life changing events that can change your life. Sometimes things happen in people’s life and they can’t do anything about it.

The journey of life has thought me to be honest and loyal. As I arrive in the United States of America in the 2013, it was a dream come through. I made a promise to my parents that I will be a good child and stay out of trouble. It was tears of joy when it was time to say good bye to my parents.

When I was four, everything that I had ever known was lost in a matter of days. As a saddened and confused child, I adjusted my life, not knowing what exactly I needed to do, just knowing that was going to get through it. I did not know it at that time, but that event would forever shape my life and belief about changing your own destiny and fate.
