Obituary “ Uh lovely weather we are having huh guys”. I know for many of you this not an easy day but this is part of life, people come and people go, what’s important if what they leave behind. My life was very different from a lot of people. Many of my friends did not know what it was like to be in my shoes because in the early 2000’s being a Muslim girl in a household of two older brothers was not easy what so ever. As with everyone else there were many chapters in my life, some were very interesting, some very sad, many filled with problem and a few paragraphs that had some good solutions. One thing that has always been a big part of my life and has been prevalent in all chapters of my life is my education. For many Muslim girls it is extremely difficult to get an education, due to countless reasons. Nonetheless, I was fortunate enough to receive the education that I did and continue to learn and grow as a person for most of my life. It all started out in kindergarten, when life was really good. My family at the time was doing well. I had a nice family, and had no worries, just like it should be for a little 5 year old. So you can say that the first few chapter of my life were filled with joy. Then came middle school, and things got a little shaky. My family got a lot stricter which makes sense because I was growing up and now I was around boys. I was getting attention from them and because I started to gain a little perspective on my early life. By the end of middle
During middle school, I had to mature very quickly. My parents got divorced when I was 12 years old. When they first told me the news, I was devastated. I had always thought my parents would be together forever. I started crying because I didn’t know what else to do. My other siblings were too young to understand what was happening. While they were working things out, my parents would leave us home alone. I realized I had to step it up, and take care of my siblings. This moment was very important in my life because it made me grow up at a very young
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
The first 10 years of my life were relatively nonchalant but had interesting aspects in its own right. I lived with my half-brother (from my father's side), my sister, and parents. When I was young we moved into a pleasant community in a city called Coconut Creek. During my first few years of elementary school, my Mom and teachers noticed that there was something a little "off" about me. My
Growing up I didn't have a lot of time to read, I did not grow up in a stable environment for children to thrive. When I was in the third grade my life would take a drastic turn into a downward direction. My mother whom I loved so much changed drastically, started locking us out of the house. Doing any type of homework was impossible to accomplish when you are stranded outside. Later that year my parents got a divorce. There was constant turmoil; my mother was now living with a man that would later become my stepfather. Their relationship was very toxic; at first my stepfather seemed charming, we traveled to places we have never been to before. After a couple of years, things changed, they couldn't manage their finances and we were constantly
My childhood was very hard. At the age of 17, I was an orphan. My mother was a writer and my father was a minister, author and professor of Latin, Greek and philosophy. My mother died and then, three years later, my father died. I went to live with my aunt. My brothers died and I was heartbroken.
When I was only four years old, my life changed forever. It was the year I moved to North Carolina. My dad’s friend got him a job opportunity that he simply couldn’t give up. So, he quit his job and found a nice rental house to live in. I had moved before but I don’t remember. I moved from Indiana to North Carolina with my brother my cat and my parents. When I moved to North Carolina, I was aware of what was happening, but I never realized how different everything would be. The house we moved into we only lived in for a year, but it was a pretty hectic year.
A few years after I had turned 14 years old and mom got sick for a few weeks and finally wne to the doctor . And come to find out my mom was pregnat again now I have a 4 year old brother whom I love very much. What a hand full he is. But life goes on. So I'm not the only brother and either is DJ. Life is like a roller coaster. It takes you up and down and all around. To bad life could not be easy. I have learned that life will and can not be easy. Here I am 18 almost out of school and working. Can't wait to be someone or something in life. I have grown to know that life will throw you around and bring you up and down. I'm going to live my life as I can and be the man I need to be. I'm working on getting my high school diploma and willing to work hard to become what I want to be and willing to make me and my future happy willing to go all the way with this world. Working hard is going to put me im my life and I'm glad that I have the people I have in my life today. I need the hard roller caoster to toss me around and me like my dad he is a hard worker and has been since he was 13 years old and I would change my life for nothing. I love my family and the world for giving me the hard balls. Here I go!!!!! I
Most of my early life was rough. We moved a lot, and my parents fought and got a divorce, and my sister and I were always pushed and pulled from one parent to the next. After the divorce and even some before, my father was
You know growing up I never had a “fairytale” childhood. My parents fought, my sisters and I didn’t get along. Yes, I know that we had good times. I am aware of that. But it just got really hard some days. And that is what threw me into a funk. Then when I
At a young age, having all four of my grandparents die was crushing. One in front of me, two by suicide and one to cancer. In the second grade when my dad went to rehab, not only eroding our relationship, but also tearing apart my family. As a result, during my third grade year, sleep was rare due to the echoing fighting that I would hear in the adjacent room. Meanwhile this lack of sleep only made school worse. Being called a “retard” because dyslexia made it a pain in the ass to read. This fearful environment slowly began to embed anxiety into my young self. Now that my family was begging to get tired of my hometown in Arizona, we packed our bags and moved to San Diego. In 6th grade is where I got into my first fist fight in the middle school locker room, where Mr. Beckley had to break us apart. Only giving me the “new kid” a bad reputation to some, but respect to others. The ones who began to give me respect, would only bring me down further than I already was. On to my later years in middle school where I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Witch felt like a constant rain cloud over me at all times, where the weight of my bed sheets was too much to handle. Therefor causing more chaos in my family. This would give myself an almost constant knot in my throat ready to break down and cry at any part of the day. But like any story, there's light at the end of the tunnel. No matter how long it seems or how dark it gets, there is... Going into my freshman things
In my life I’ve had a lot of ups and downs. I’ve been adopted three times, my father past away when I was nine, and my mom just gave up. My mom and dad weren’t the best of parents. But I still loved them. When I was three a lady named Nicole adopted me and my sister Brittany . By the age of five her best friend Charity adopted me. That is when me and my two sisters were all split up for good. My sister Ashley was adopted by my uncle Gary down in Georgia and Brittany stayed with Nicole.
My life was not much different from the average person’s growing up. I had a mother, father, and two brothers. We had a dog. We went on family vacations. My brothers and I played sports together. I don’t really have much to complain about. It was all, for the most part, very normal.
Over the course of my life I have had many life experiences which have made me who I am today. When I was in my middle childhood, most of my life revolved around playing and having fun. I did not have to put forth effort in hardly any area of my life or work hard in order to achieve specific goals. As time went on however, my own life experiences began to have an effect on me, and shape the person I am today. My life started to change the most during middle childhood when I was around the age of seven years old. At this point in my life, I had to adjust to several big changes.
When I was a kid, school for me was waking up early in the morning. I also have to study a lot in school, then after school I have to do homework. I remember my first day at school. My mom and dad, both were so happy and prepared but I was so nervous and cheerless. I didn’t like to wake up early in the morning for school , but as time flew by I started loving school which made me wake up with energy instead of tiredness. I began to enjoy the school as I made new friends and I got to know how it is like when you meet people out of your neighborhood. With my friends I had lunch together and study together. I started to understand what the purpose of the education system. Based on what I understood I think the purpose of education is really aimed at helping students get to the point where they can learn to be on their own. In this journey of education I had a lot of positive and few negative experiences,but the negative experiences also helped me growing. Positive experiences are my teachers helping me improve, and I improved more when I moved to the United States.
This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.
