My Brother Who Helps Me Succeed

However, I found myself devastated and confused when my older brother got killed by a stray bullet after attending an after school program during my freshman year of high school. Instead, of seeking retribution I surrounded myself with a great mentor and kept myself focus towards my education.To this day I continue to battle with numerous of obstacles but, I know I have to step up to become a better leader and provider for my younger siblings.

Moreover, anyone could state the brother that lives with me was my guide in life. Every road he took meant I necessitated to turn the opposite direction. He always had tragic grades which compared to mine, my grades looked terrific. He ended up going

David has taught me how to overcome these obstacles and to become a man. Also, he has taught me that life is not easy he has had his ups and downs and times where he did not know what he was going to do. Seeing my brother go through the adversity he faced and to have a great career, a home, and a woman he loves gives me the motivation and strength that drives me today. He showed his true character by being there for his young brother and sister and not even doing it because he was forced to, he did it because he loved us and wanted the best for us. Every time I see my brother he succeeds at making me smile. He will crack the inappropriate joke or try and fight me like we are in the Ultimate Fighting Championship league. I will always look up to my brother, I will never lose my respect. Through thick and thin my brother has been there for me and I will always be there for him. David gave me the guidance and will power to be who I truly am. From him I learn how to overcome obstacles and how to succeed at life. I will take these lessons and apply them to my future and everyday to make him proud of me. I will never let him down or ever give up on him just like he never did for me. The man I am today was formed by the love and dedication of my big brother David Gaipo Junior and I cannot thank him

At a young age, we as a collective society have experienced the first-hand the struggles of attempting to be successful. We are told that excellence inevitably leads to success. We are told as children that one must go to college in order to be successful. As a result, children aspire to go to college only because we are told it is essential to be successful in life. The path to be a success is a stressful one and requires a great deal of work. There is too much homework, too many tests, and too much needless pressure is put upon the shoulders of young children by their parents. In her essay “Is the Drive for Success Making Our Children Sick?” Vicki Abeles argues and exposes the harmful effects of the drive for success. Abeles incorporates other ways to improve a child’s drive for success with consideration to the children’s health. One of her strategies for a healthier drive that would be beneficial and adopted by both college educators and fellow students is a limit on homework and weekend and holiday homework ban. Although a drive to be successful is essential for achieving excellence, limiting homework would be beneficial because it is less overwhelming for students, provokes less stress and

In the process of growing up as a child, Daniel admired his grandfather and specially all the effort and dedication he put into his jobs. His grandfather was always a man of determination, and used to work very late to bring food to his family, but always showing a big smile always inspire his grandsons. Daniel also describes his childhood as very usual of having friends, playing with his twin brother and exploring the world. The best memory of Daniel during his childhood was when he received his first dog. Even though it was just a little pet he got, he never taught he could get one of his own. On the other side, one of the worst experience in his life was on a thanksgiving dinner at his aunt house when he was 11 years old. Daniel and his twin were dressed up very nicely for the dinner and playing around the backyard with a stick. All of a sudden his twin brother push him with the stick and make him fall into the pool. Therefore, Daniel got all his clothes wet and his mother was very upset and blaming Daniel for the

As a young child I learned what the good group of kids looked like and what the bad group of kids looked like. In movies, the bad group of people are portrayed in high school as boys who wear really big clothing and girls that wear too dark of makeup. However after my junior year, I now know that you never really can tell between who the good and the bad people really are. Starting from when I was very young, my brother began changing my entire life for the better because I grew up with him in and out of jails and prisons for theft, drug use, and underage consumption. During his time in jails and prisons, it killed my mother and father. However for me, I never really knew the person labeled as my brother. He was a shadow with a name for me.

This is Laith Abdulmaseeh-Elias AL- Salan, and I am Firas Brother. When you have your brother who is living with you for years, you have so many memories of him that they tend to overlap, which have happiness and sadness. It is extremely difficult to single out one or two of his characters that you want to describe him, impossible to remember any that exemplify the whole. Firas was born when I was 9 years old. Few years later when firas grow up, he became more than just brother, he is my friend. When we were in Iraq we loved to be together and do things, like going out to lunch and for ice cream. Sure there is 9 years different between us but firas was and still an inspiration to me. firas has a unique personality that influenced on me to

There are people in everyone's lives who have played a significant role in developing their personality or have been a mentor or a guide or a positive influence all their life. My oldest brother, Kaleb Mortenson, has been all of these as he has helped me with life advice and inspired me technologically and musically.

Growing up with two brothers was a lot of fun. Whatever they were doing I wanted to do. We played outside a lot. I learned from them to be tough. If I fell off my bike they were there to help me up and tell me to get right back on it. I have watched them both succeed in their dreams.

Daniel is a very awesome individual who is to get along with. He is a hard worker, thoughtful as well as generous and respectful with everyone.

In the early years of my life I had no idea that my brother would make such a big impact on me and my life. He has taught me more than any teacher possible could. Through him I learned how to be compassionate. I learned how to treat each and every person with respect, despite what challenges they may face. He brought me into an amazing community that taught me numerous life lessons. He challenged me every step of the way, like any brother should, and altered the way I viewed the world. My brother has autism, and he has been my greatest teacher.

Every January brings a horrendous memory for my family and myself. January being the month, in which my sister passed away, unexpectedly taken from our lives leaving behind the heart broken, chaotic, and depressed husband, parents, and family members. No to mention, the care, love, and tenderness that this new born child would be in desperate need of, where would one begin to manage such a tragedy, to pick up the pieces left and go on to love and care again.

My brother is not just someone I share blood with but someone I can rely on and look up to. Patrick, my seventeen year old brother, has been by my side since I was a little baby. My youngest memories are of Patrick and I running around in our backyard laughing. As he grew older, I began to look up to him. He was everything I aspired to be: intelligent, passionate, and athletic. Patrick always seemed to know what he wanted in life, and I admired how he chased down his goals. There were points in my life when I was very unmotivated, especially when I was seven years old. Insecure and unsure, I did not believe in myself from a very young age, and Patrick was there for me when no one else was. He made me believe in myself and my own abilities above anything else. I have my big brother to thank for finding the strength to persevere through my struggles and overcoming my obstacles.
