Pain into Beauty Essay

Everyone has a favorite memory about their lives. My favorite memory took place when I traveled to Ohio in 2014 for Thanksgiving.

On Wednesday, November 26, 2014, I was coming out of a very hectic day at work, when I received the news that had me breaking down in tears. “Odette your mother is in the emergency room.” I could not believe the words that were coming out of my father's mouth in that instinct. So many thoughts came rushing through my mind. “Why, my mom?” I kept on asking myself, but I knew that I could not show my depression to my two younger siblings. The reason for that was that I did not want to scare them nor make them feel the horrible feeling that I was feeling inside. Even though I appeared to look fine in the outside, my precious soul was dying in sorrows in the inside. The scariest thought of knowing your mother is in danger and that you cannot do anything to save her is very traumatizing. I honestly felt like my hands were tied behind my back while I saw her drowning in pain.

It began with a small town and a small house. Until about 12 years of age I lived an average kids childhood in Alfred, Maine. Everyone was kind, I had birthday parties, friends were always over, I loved sports, especially basketball. Most of all, I was comfortable. At the time, I never realized what, or how lucky I was.

The time that we moved to Westcliffe, Colorado. I always remember the times when my parents talked about coming out to Colorado. They said it was a place where they always felt good, especially my mom. Most of the time when we were back there, I remember that my mom was sick in bed, because of the heat and humidity. It made her really sick, but when she came out here, she always felt much better. That was one of the main reasons, why we moved here, because my dad knew that mom would feel better here in higher elevation. So when the day came, I was glad we moved somewhere else.

The childhood of an individual can be very crucial in the formation of the child’s character, personality, and future social behavior. The early experiences a child is exposed to may impact the child in a positively or negatively manner. Children exposed to traumatic childhood experiences such as emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; emotion and physical neglect; and household dysfunction such as incarcerated member of the household, domestic violence, and substance abuse; will result in criminal behavior in adolescence and/or adulthood.

At the age of 4 or 5 we moved down the road from my grandmother, in a nice 2 bedroom brick house, one bath, where I am currently living now. It was only my mom, dad & I living there for about 10 years, then my mom ended up getting pregnant & had another child. It caused the house to become a little cramped up as my sister got older. More

Most of my childhood memories took place in the home that I remember best, the red house on Hawthorne Street, in Portland, Oregon. The house was three stories of endless adventure, with a great big backyard for any little girl's imagination to run wild. In fact, I spent so much time outside that I barely remember the house at all. Also, for some reason, my fondest memories took place during the summer while I lived there. I remember riding my tricycle on the sidewalk with the two twin boys across the street, and sharing my dolls with the little girl who lived in the yellow bungalow three houses down from mine. But, the memory that sticks out most is our forth of July block party.

When I was four years old we moved to Oskaloosa, Iowa. It was a small town of 15,000 people and became my home for the next 5 years. My favorite memories from Iowa are fishing with my father and competing in local fishing tournaments. It was a hobby we both loved. We would wake up bright and early nearly every weekend and spend all day on the lake. Growing up in Oskaloosa also had its disadvantages. My father was the chief psychiatrist at the local hospital and was well known for his work in the area. Unfortunately, his patient population grew

When we were little, we were raised by both parents and lived in our ranch in Reynosa, Mexico. It had our animals that we cared of. This life was very calm and all of our family came to visit us, we used to make barbecue every weekend, and we got together and had a great time at the ranch. I missed those days where you could party all night and nobody would mess with anybody.

In 1986 my mother divorced my father and moved my brother and I from a small town in Pennsylvania to a small town in New Jersey. My mother chose this particular town because of its close proximity to family members. The house my mother grew up in and that my grandmother still lived in was two houses away from our new house. Also, my aunt and uncle lived about three houses away. With her new life as a single mother with two kids the convenience of it all was too hard for her to pass up.

I was born in Harlingen, Texas and I lived there for most of my childhood. We usually lived with my moms parents or in a small two story house but my mom got a job promotion working in T-Mobil at the time so we had to move to a place somewhere in Kansas. My mom had told my little brothers and me that she was going into Kansas first then she would come back and get us. We said ok and went on doing whatever things we were doing. Finally a few weeks later. My mom finally come and told us we would have one more day at school then we would start driving to Kansas. Finally after saying our goodbyes to family we set off to Kansas and it took forever but we finally made it. We had to live with our cousins at first since we had no home

Adverse childhood experiences are perhaps terrible and upsetting occasions which can have negative, lasting impacts for health and well-being. These experiences range from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse to parental separation or the imprisoning of a guardian (Vanessa Sacks et al. 2014). It is important to know the connection between childhood experiences and wellbeing in adulthood in the area of study based on psychology. The adversity of someone’s childhood experiences will strongly influence towards the adulthood, it might cause the negative and worse effect to a person’s future. This essay aims to rhetorically evaluate the credibility of three different sources which focus on the research question, how do the adversity of the childhood

On December 29th, 1999, I was born in New Albany, Mississippi. I have a sister who is two years older than me, and a brother who is three years younger than me. When I was still a baby we moved to Maumelle, Arkansas because my dad got a job at a church there. I loved living there but when I six my siblings and I were told that we were going to move. The church where my dad worked at was closing down because they didn’t have enough money or members to keep it open. We found a new church fairly quickly and have lived here ever since. I was in first grade at the time. I was super excited because I had my own room, I didn’t have to wear uniforms at my new school, and my new house had stairs. For some reason when I was seven I had a major obsession with houses that had stairs. I told my parents that in the new house I wanted stairs and a pool. Sadly I didn’t get the pool and honestly I’m still upset about it.

Children may have had it the worst during the seventeenth century. “Unlike adults, children experience trauma in the midst of their active development. As a result, these events are more likely to impact their psychological growth and their maturity” (5). The slave trade was at its peak and which made the likelihood of being taken very great. This fear may have damaged the childhood of children leaving them with no clear idea of how great life can be. Living in fear is highly unhealthy and can cause issues when growing up. After going through a traumatic experience, a child will be scared of the smallest things, jittery, clumsy, and sensitive. If not treated a certain way, these problems will stay with a child until he or she is older. “Children do not have the psychological mechanisms in place to understand and integrate the trauma experience. Being less mature, a child is more likely to be overwhelmed by the experience” (5) Young children are normally more attached to their mother than the rest of their family; as they grow older, they form close bonds with

Beauty is pain. Isn’t it? From hair and nails to skin care and pedicures, a women wants to feel beautiful inside and out. Women would go through just about anything to have the perfect eyebrow, manicure, and much more. Often what women envy most in other women is the genes of long beautiful hair.
