So looks like you are here for the amazing rollercoaster life of Levi Simpson….. All the ups and downs. Let's get started from the beginning where this blessing of life was created. On February 16, 2001 in Fairmont Mayo Clinic hospital. Sorry that's the only information I can remember of this depressing start and just to let you know it only got worse later on. What I mean by that is by the age 2 my parents got divorced and the full struggle started there… going through life wondering why your own dad doesn't want you takes a toll on you. Of course life might hit you with some struggles but it's supposed to get better right? Well for me of course not, my mom eventually found her new husband and I was happy for her but still it added a lot of confusion on a young mind like mine. After a few years go by and my mom is still seeing her soon to be husband Mike the huge decision was made. We packed our bags and moved to 203 Queens Court in North Mankato where I started preschool on up. About first grade is when I finally actually start to get down about the whole situation with my parents split because I just remember walking into those parent conferences just hoping that maybe he might show up because we are still his kids, well I thought wrong and the worst part was I would sit there through the whole time looking at the door just wishing that he would just walk in and just try to be the father I wanted him to be. Just to let you know he never showed not even once. Oh and to
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 my parents got a divorce when I was in the third grade, it affected me greatly. My parents had always fought, so the divorce did not come at much of a surprise. Yet I did not expect all of the changes that would come along with the divorce. I had to grow up a lot sooner than all of
eighth grade, and I was terrified. Having lived in one place for 12 years, it
I can remember walking in the door to Mac Williams for the first time and thinking that I was actually grown up but not knowing that I still had a abundant amount of growing up to do. In middle school sixth grade is probably the worst grade to be in from my perspective because you can't play sports until seventh grade. So when seventh grade came around I couldn't have been anymore happy to for the first time try out of an actual sports team. I played football for both my seventh and eighth grade years along with wrestling. I also tried out for the baseball team me eighth grade year because I wanted to get most athletic but was beaten by one vote to Andrew

Eighth grade. I can honestly tell you that I have learn almost nothing in academic, but that would only stretch the true. I cannot truly remember what went on exactly in eighth grade, but I can specifically remember my English class, a place of hopelessness. My English at the time of eighth grade was not the best nor was it the worst, however I did struggle in English the most. My experience in eighth grade was not the same as Michael J. Romick, his was a much more learning compare to mine. Romick was engaged for the first time in academics, the moment he had heard the combination of poetry with music he had become stunned. His experience with those combination were written in his article Totally Tuned In.
Eighth Grade. The year I wanted to try something new. I was getting tired of my boring middle school day, and I didn’t feel like I was being challenged enough. I looked for online schools that could work, and found Boulder Universal. Through more research, I learned that I could do a hybrid schedule. This meant that I would do some classes online, and some classes at my middle school, Broomfield Heights. To my surprise, after some consideration, my parents said yes! This is my experience.
ninth grade, because in ninth grade I used to just let people pick on me and let them push me around so I wouldn’t get in trouble. At the end of my first semester in ninth grade I decided to stand up for myself, so I got in my first physical fight and got suspended and that taught me a lot , it taught me to not to be a punk. I also learned that it’s not ok to watch someone pick on someone else, because you have to think if that was you getting picked on, or you have to think if that was your cousin, brother or sister getting picked on and pushed around, you wouldn’t like it.
In Elementary, I really enjoyed coming to school and learning about things I was interested in. At age 6, my older brother, Anthony, passed away in a car accident. This was a hard time for my family, but we eventually got through it. My Grandmother moved back in with us after
I was in eighth grade -so right around 13 years old. I had spent the majority
Levi memoir used many figures of speech on the memoir function.In the early chapters, he often reflects the events that he told through his memoir,"Dawn came on us like a betrayer; it seemed as though the new sun rose as an ally of our enemies to assist in our destruction. The different emotions that overcame us, of resignation, of futile rebellion, of religious abandon, of fear, of despair"(16). He reflects dawn to be an enemy as they continue to survive and be a man. Their emotions seem to define them on their identity not being taken away and not even by the dawn with personification characteristics. To be a man was to be able to resist this anything as a threat to taking away the identity of a man. Also, Levi uses anthropomorphism and extended
The defining moment which changed the way that I looked at school was in third grade; A week after taking, what I know was a placement test, I was brought up to a meeting with my mom, principal, and teacher. They informed that I tested very well and that my level or reading, math, and science were above the third-grade level. As a result, I would be moved up a grade to meet my advanced abilities. Everything after that sunny day was life changing; school became more fun. The subjects were much more challenging thus awakening my inner grit.
Every since my mom and Johnny me, li has been better. The fact that I could see my mom happy again was a blessing. I was 10 years old living with my mom and older brother,Yannice, in our old apartment. I used to always pray that she would be able to find a man some day and a couple of month later they met I remember it taking a while for Yannice and I to realize that they going out on dates. The day Yannice and I met him I could not stop laughing from all the jokes that he was cracking. From that day on, I knew that I was going to be cool with him. He made sure to take us to places with us too. He took us to Magic Springs, The Movie Theater, Burns Park, and going Fishing. The we would come to his house for Fish-Frys,
Seeing your parents apart and not getting along when they’re together is hard for most kids specially when you’re 8 years old and you don’t know what’s coming next. The day my parents got divorced changed my perception of what a normal family was.
It all began with family feuds. I was in third grade, going into fourth when the fights started appearing. I figured they had been going on longer, but this is when they could no longer hide it from my sister and I. It started with short disputes and nothing too extreme, as time passed the fights only got worse and more frequent. It went from my dad sleeping on the couch, to living in our basement, and then to moving onto our boat. The arguments caused issues for myself as well. I was losing sleep because at this age nothing could be worse than your parents splitting up, even if it was for the best. It was a very stressful environment so it was hard for me to get homework done. As the separation ran its course, it took a big chunk out of my confidence at that age.
