I moved away from my friends and town i grew up in. I thought that moving away well decrease my intelleges and well become a bad influence and depressed. I was already depressed since we started packing, but i tried so hard to hangout has much as possible, they even helped me pack things and get back into my house when i was locked out when my parents left without warning. I was also sad because i broke up with my girlfriend because i was moving, she didn't do long-distance relationships, she’d helped me smile and enjoy life, but it change now. All i say to her was bye and couldn't bare remembering but it was hard to forget something beautiful. My friend surprised me and cheered me up a little and then
Ryder’s class. So, then I realized that My laptop was in my room. So I opened the door slowly and want to my table and grab my MacBook. Then when I was coming back I fell down on the floor. “Boom”!! Immediately my parents came upstairs like they were going to go run a race, and like they were going to win.They saw my door opened. My sister came to my room with her phone, and says” should i call the doctor, or should I call 911, or wait should I go get your phone and call the doctor”. “Go get my phone, and call the doctor as quick as possible” dad reply after hearing my sister Brooklyn talk a
I can still recall the days where I would run down the block chasing after the ice cream truck. I lived near a park in Brooklyn, and my daily summer routine consisted of endless enjoyment at the park. As a nine-year-old, all I focused on was having fun and playing handball with my friends at the park. Every day I set out on the same task, and did not realize what I would do if those friends were no longer there.
My family and I went to Colorado Spring for christmas break. We packed up all of our stuff then we put it all in the car. When we got done putting all of our stuff in the car we left we got on the highway. As soon as we got on the highway I took a nap. I woke up when we were in Colorado we were almost there. I was talking to my parents until we stop to get gas. I sat in the car until my dad got done filling the car up. We drove for a little bit and we were in Colorado Springs. We drove to my Aunt's house when we got there I took my stuff in the room I stay in. My cousin came from downstairs and said “Hi ” then he went back downstairs. My aunt put on a movie to all watch together. My grandma was cooking something for all of to eat when the movies was over I went to the kitchen to eat. I went to the kitchen table to talk to my dad. When my dad got done eating We heard a knock on the door we answered it and it was on of my uncles and aunts then my cousins walked in.
I must say I struggled with the idea of going back to college. I am 34 years old. What in the world was I thinking? College, now? How old will I be when I graduate? Well I went against my thoughts and self doubt and went for it. I am enrolled in college, community college, but it’s a start. Hopefully it will be amazing and will lead me to success. I am currently in my first quarter. I have a long way to go, but I am going to get there, no matter what.
Nine years ago, my parents dropped me off at overnight camp for the first time ever. Wow, nine years ago… that’s just hard to think about. Anyways, I do not remember much about that first summer, but it must have been fun because I came back the next summer, then again, and again, and again, and again, and, while, you get the point. I really liked it there. Back then, I would not have been able to explain what I loved about camp so much. I would have said something like “my great friends” or “all the sports we play,” but now I understand it means so much more than that. If I was to explain all the memories I made on that hillside throughout my seven year career as a camper, this essay would be well over 650 words, so I will refrain from doing so. Instead, I will talk about my transition from camper to counselor and how it helped me realize the importance of giving back.
In my lifetime I hope to be able to experience as much as possible before I inevitably die. I have Dreams of traveling the world, meeting people, and creating experiences that I will never forget. I want a job that I enjoy and a family that I love and can share my experiences with and create even more with them. Most of all I just want to live a happy life, one that when I’m old I can look back on and have more good memories than bad. A life that I can be proud of and feel that no time was wasted.

The thought of moving from their parents’ home has been the dream of every 18 year old at least once. When I was 18, I moved out to make my dreams a reality. It taught me to grow up and become more financially responsible. Other responsibilities that also come with moving out are making sure your bills are paid and making sure you have food on your table. I was also able to see what it was like to be on my own first hand. Since I have moved out, I have experienced a lot mentally, financially, and personally. Growing up was probably one of the biggest things I experienced. Growing up included cutting back on a lot of partying, spending money on unnecessary items, and going out every single night. When I moved out, it is as if none of that stuff even mattered anymore. Living alone, I felt like every day was a party. I enjoyed having no one telling me what to do or when to do it. I could come and go as I pleased, and I didn’t owe anyone an explanation. It taught me how to become more frugal, and how to save money. It also taught me how to do more adult things such as grocery shopping, paying bills, and fixing things around my house. Growing up is fun, sometimes scary, and maybe even a little bit frustrating. It makes you feel good knowing that you have a place of your own, and that you can handle such a big
I am startled awake by a loud bang. I am still tucked neatly under the sheets just as mommy left me before I went to bed, but Big Brother is no longer by my side. I turn to find my bedroom door wide open. I quietly climb out of bed and make my way to the hallway. As I make it to the door there is a sudden scream from downstairs and I know that it is Mommy. I fall to my hands and knees and begin to crawl to the stairs that would lead me to where Mommy was. I am halfway down when I hear Mommy scream, “Don’t you touch him!” I can not see them, but I could hear them. Mommy and Big Brother were screaming while he yelled at them angrily.
What does giving back mean to me? To me it means to give something back to someone no matter what it is but to give back to those who helped you throughout anything. Giving back is just another way of saying thank you and it's also a respectful thing. It also shows that you care and it gives you a good reputation.
Giving back hold a high part of my life and special part in my heart. I've always been told if I can give back, do. Thus, throughout my life, I have participated in many community service projects and activities. With this being instilled in me at a young age, as a grew older I knew to keep this lesson as moral. I took this with me through all walks of life and with me to Morehouse College. Upon my first few days on campus, I came into contact with many different people and became involved in a few social clubs on campus. Do Better and Lytehouse, are two of those, just name a few. What leads me to want to join these groups where there involvement with self-improvement and community service around campus. In these group, we participate in plenty
As I ate my Cheerios I wondered where my Dad and Brother where they had left last night without saying a word. My sister Kat was sleeping on the couch of our run down house, my mom was outside smoking her Camel smokes and, my other brother Dayrl was making breakfast in the kitchen. This is how things normally were but, Merle(the brother from before) was starting to act strange and he left us with our abusive Father more often and would come back a week later when he got back he said that he went to do some work but he wouldn't tell us what kind of work it was. A lot of times our Father beat us or mom he was an alcoholic but when we wasn't drunk he was a good guy. As I finished my breakfast Dayrl yelled from the kitchen. "Go wake up your sister!
I walked back in the house and check the sink for any dishes or if there's any around the red and black shiny countertops of the kitchen. There was no dishes in the sink I now grab the Doritos and coke and walk back to my room. It was a little humid so I open the window a bit to let in some fresh crisp cool air. I sit down and remember that I can watch some twitch streams or past broadcast. There is no one live so I go to one of my favorite streamers and watch the newest past broadcasts. I sit there eating chips and drinking coca-cola. I then hear my phone start to ring it's my mom and she says “I will be home in a couple of hours we will be going to the store.”. Then my brother came home and I told him “We are going to the store.” He said,”okay”. I then went to get on my ps4 and looked who was online and found a couple of people online and invited them to a party we talked and then began to play overwatch we first played quickplay and then we went in a competitive game and won a few games and lost a few games but ended up getting some skill points for it. Then my mom came home and I had to get off so
