My Life At Winthrop Hospital

When most people hear my full name , “Joann Botani," they automatically assume I'm Italian, but truth is I am actually Middle Eastern. From what I know my dad does have a little Italian in his blood but the name “Botani” actually comes from a city in Turkey. I come from an upper-middle class house hold and I have two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. Being the oldest has its challenges because there is so much expected from me whether it is school, work or social life. I tend to think my younger siblings have it easier because I am the one who pushes the boundaries with my parents and because of that my siblings usually get to do what ever the want because it is not as extreme as what I do. It has always been easy for my younger sister because she is the “princess” of the house but I am my dad’s favorite while my brother is a momma’s boy. My family is very competitive when it comes to school and grades, my little brother and I were always duking it out

First, I have adopted the social role of a student. I am involved in online school only, but when I have to go to school meetings, such as workshops, I act differently. For example, when I go to meetings for school I act more professionally and serious. I adopted this role because my dad encourages me to achieve a higher education and act professionally to be taken more seriously. I have adopted the role of a daughter, and my family likes to joke around when we get together. At the same time, I don’t show too much of my silliness around my parents. Lastly, I have adopted the role of a sister, my brothers act really goofy which encourages me. When I am around just my brothers, we make ridiculous noises and jokes because we don’t judge each other and it is like a stress relief. As a sister, I try to resist acting too goofy in public, because I don’t want people thinking I’m

I was born on May 6th, 2004, in the morning. Even when I was very young, 2 or 3 years old, my interests became prominent. First of all, I loved music. I would dance to all the songs that came on the radio, and I started singing to my favorites. I loved the way songs came together- the complexity, the unique array of notes, and the placement of rhythm. I started painting at an early age, when I was four, in 2008. As I painted I would hum my own tunes, which began my love of singing and art. That same year we got our family’s first dog, Ruby Sue, who has been a major part of my life. But into every life, some rain must fall. When I was 8 years old, and in second grade, I became very ill. I missed nearly four weeks of school, and was hospitalized for three days. When I was over the illness, the doctors determined that it had been atypical measles; I began to get anxiety on a regular basis, and had to be talked down frequently.

I am Brittany Humes –Cox and I was born and raised in a small town in Illinois, known as Carbondale. My biological mother suffers from a drug addiction and my father made other choices aside from being a part of my childhood. As a result, my two older brothers and I were raised by my maternal grandmother. As a young child, I would always question why me however, I became adamant not allow my circumstance to detour my success. I found peace in playing basketball along with writing poems to mend my broken

Allow me to introduce myself my name is Olive Rush. I was born on June 10, 1873 to a Quaker family close to Fairmount, Indiana. I come from a long generation of Quakers. I was raised on a farm with six children. Many Quakers view artistic recreation as a nonessential pastime or way of life. I was lucky enough to have parents that were supportive and encouraged me to pursue my dreams as an artist. My parents were both artistically inclined but were never able to express those talents because of our background, and because art was not considered as spiritual. They made sure that I was, and I showed these gifts at a very young age.

I was born on May 2, 1994 in Orangeburg, South Carolina and moved to Columbia, South Carolina at the age of two. I am the oldest of four children, the two youngest being my paternal half-siblings. Growing up my hobbies were volunteering, fencing, cooking, and outdoor activities. At the age of 12, I began my work career by volunteering. Legally, I was too young to work but I knew I would need job experience to get a job one day. Over the next three years I volunteered at a community center for library (Richland County Public Library- Sandhills Branch), a community center for low income children (Bethlehem Community Center), a

The unfamiliar way of life was so exhilarating. The museums and galleries, the burgeoning art mecca in Brooklyn, everything was just a subway ride away. I was eager to begin anew with my husband who was helping me recover my health. I embraced life without the burden of my family’s traditional values. This journey brought me great friendships, experiences working at a major art gallery in Chelsea and managing an artist’s studio. I eventually opened my own gallery in upstate New York where I collaborated with artists and curators to bring exhibitions featuring local artists and contemporary art focused on current issues. I also managed a public art festival for a local arts organization to cultivate and facilitate community engagement. Along the way, I discovered who I am and continued to develop my own

Once my mom moved out, my brother and I started splitting time between my moms and dads house. This was tough on me particularly. Reason being, I am very close with my dad but am also very close with my mom too. My brother on the other hand was not so fond of my dad. He believed that my dad was too hard on him, had too high of expectations and that he could never satisfy him. My brother started not spending as much time with my dad as he did with my mom. So while my parents

The children in a family don't always have the same features and personality; there are many differences between siblings. One child could be loud, full of themselves,

Being a parent with more than one child, the chances of them having similar personalities is very slim. Most parents are pretty much okay with that, and just want their children to at least get along. In the story “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, Mama had two daughters who grew up in the same household, but turned out to be very different. Maggie was the younger sister who some might call the ugly sister and pretty much stayed to herself. She hasn’t ever ventured out on her own, and doesn’t know what its like to live off the farm. Then there was Dee the light skin pretty older sister. Dee very let where she came from stop her Dee was considered to confident, self-centered, and confused.

I was conversing with a few students of mine that I mentor during the summer months and I realized that I really need to be in the academic world. Several students retorted to me that “I need to be a School Counselor or a prominent figure in the school districts. That is when I had that epiphany and I’ve realized that I want to work with students of all ages. When I am interacting with students I am at my happiest. Therefore, I would like to pursue my Master Degree in Higher Education Administration.

In “Everyday Use” “Dee” was a very bratty and in college. My third oldest sister Nicole is in college. Nicole goes to school at USC Upstate,she used to be a brat when she was younger getting her way at all times. “Dee” left of to college and completely changed,Nicole was still the same she just had gotten a little more proper and mature. Maggie is shy and always home and so is Nicole. Nicole isn't very good with meeting new people she likes to lay in bed and or stay in her room. “Dee” is outgoing,Overdressed,bratty,and different from her family ,She’s very much like me. I leave home on the weekends and go do fun things with friends,I dress they way I feel , I hate to admit but I'm the bratty one I'm always getting my way,and I'm very different from my family. They listen to rap and old school hip-hop and RnB I listen to punk rock,rock,metal,pop alternative, and rarely hip-hop. Yet, Like Maggie Im the youngest.As for relationship between “Dee” and “Maggie” my sibling and I get along very well. Rarely me and my ten yr old brother Justin will fight and argue. In “Everyday Use” there are two sibling and they are sister in my family there are five ,Four girls (including myself) and one boy

June 5th 1990, I was given life in Torrance hospital to two great parents, Robert and Cindi Squillace. I have spent most of my life that I am able to remember in the high desert. Since an early age I spent a lot of time in the garage making random contraptions. To this day that is still the case. I like to see myself as a Jack of all trades, since I’m really not the best in a lot of areas. Never the less I enjoy many hobbies and I enjoy learning the ins and outs of them. I pride myself as a handyman, while I may not always have the answer I will always try to find it.

I was born in SpringHill Regional Hospital on August 10th, 2004. As a kid I was very energetic and curious. Going into the boiler part of the oven where mom wold store the pans at the time and climbing on top of the christmas decoration boxes are some examples of how I was an adventurous child. Art was always something that I loved from a young age from drawing to painting. If I look back in the filling cabinet in mom and dad's room they have a whole drawer dedicated to the old art that I did when I was younger and they are a little bit cringy because I have learned so much more than weird stick figure's. People who I would draw wasn't even regular stick figures the bodies of girls were triangles with a line connecting the two lines.

I have 3 siblings; two brothers and one sister. My sister “Isha-27”, Little brother “Ishmael-10”, and my older brother “I.B-18”, we all grew up and spent the most of our lives with each other. I think I’ve always known that I was a little different from my brothers and my sister, but it's okay because we are all different in many ways. Now my story on how it's like living with 3 siblings with personalities are all different and how we all like certain things but we all manage to live together in harmony , my older brother is more into sports and my little brother is more into video games; my sister is more into reading a writing and more i'm more into math and science. At times it gets extremely annoying living with them
