Getting to be familiar with me may be slight demanding. Overall, I am a nice, sweet, outgoing, caring individual to others. Within my life, it has truly been a tedious journey. Growing up in a single-parented home, can become very challenging at times. I have only had my mother and her side of the family supporting me with their full extent, since birth. I developed into the young lady I am now without a father figure being in my life, and that was a decision that my father made. Like I said formerly, this circumstance was something that was beyond hard to accept. I never certainly understood why he did not want to partake in my life, and until this day I still do not know why. As I grew older and recognized that I have someone in my life
Being an adopted child, the idea of a reunion is always lingering in the back of my mind. I always wondered if my biological father had a very loud laugh like I do, or if my mother liked to shop as much as I do. When I was younger I really didn’t think much about me being adopted, I just knew that I was different from my family. Well,l obviously I was different because I was from South Korea while my adoptive parents were from New Jersey. I never really knew anything about my birth parents, other than the fact that my mother was very young when she had me and my father wasn’t in the picture at the time, so my mother put me up for adoption so I could have the best life possible. At a young age I didn’t ask about my adoption because I didn’t have the ability to identify my experience and articulate my feelings yet, but now since I’m coming to an age where I’m about to start my life as adult, I think it’s time to confront my feelings and thoughts on my adoption.
I was fifteen years old when my mother invited me to help out with the local foster home. When I arrived at the foster home I began to cry in response to the young children that I saw. It was difficult for me to understand the children's emotions initially but throughout the day I learned the reason behind their joy. Most of the foster children were grateful for the little deeds that the volunteers performed for them because we showed that we cared about them. In all honesty many people take for granted the advantages they have for succeeding in life. The foster children that I've seen that day were limited because they did not have the physical and the emotional support of their families. I did not realized how blessed I was to have a loving
I’m in the prison line minding my own business as a few girls punch me. I did nothing to them, but that day i was getting out of prison and the girls get jealous if the others get out. The police are sending me to a foster home. My seventh one and i’m hoping it’s the last. My head is throbbing and there is a cut on the upper part of my lip. Before I leave I ask where is my brother you said you promise would never split us apart. The social worker finds my brother and he is taken out of the home he is in, now he is with me I feel safe.

Growing up in a low income family has taught me a huge lesson that has changed my life. That lesson is: when an individual has a passion for something and pursues after it, greater things can come after the storms and trials. The passion I have for music is unexplainable that I cannot explain , but can be seen through my dedication and time. Throughout my journey in pursuing music, my family have been my number one fans and have supported me as much as they can financially and mentally. Growing up I hardly spent time with my mom due to her having two jobs to support me and my other two siblings. She is head of the house and works two part time jobs, one in a retail store and the other as a hair stylist. At first, it was hard for me to understand
I was raised in an untraditional home. My mother was a teenage parent and my father was older with two children of his own when I was born. Eventually I would have three more siblings join the family. My parents struggled tremendously to care for six children, which forced them to worked several jobs each to provide the necessitates. Providing health care for a family of eight was beyond what my parents could afford even while working two job each, however state medical assistance made sure we each had the care we needed. My parents demanding work load shifted the responsibility of caring for my siblings on me. The financial stress my parents faced continued as I approached college. My decision on which undergraduate university I would attend
I live in a single-parent home, raised by the most fantastic mother out there. She really works hard on making sure my sister and I have an amazing childhood. She is a very determined woman, with a master’s degree. She is a first grade teacher, but knowing teaching isn’t the greatest paying job, she works other small jobs. My parents divorced when I was about three years old. When they split, my father took all our money, and my mom had to start all over again. Going to court cost a lot of money as well. Mom has worked really hard to give us a roof over our head and clothes on our back, but she still struggles. She does not necessarily tell us her financial statement because she does not want us to worry, but if we do ask for something we sometimes
Changes are a natural progression through life. They either come on their own, without our consent, beyond our control, or because we took control and strove for it. Changes can be good, neutral, or bad. But one thing is for certain, there will always be changes.
My home town is a small rural community in the North-East part of the state of Utah. The neighborhood that I lived in was a newer town-home development on the edge of the city. Our neighborhood had a homeowners association that governed the outside look of our homes and yards. Each home looked the same except for differences in the pitch of the roof, the color of the shutters around the windows, and the color of the front door. It was easy to tell if you left the neighborhood because, for the most part, all the other homes in the town were older single-family homes. The entire town is arranged in a grid pattern with lots almost the same size. That is, until you drove into my neighborhood, they decided to arrange it in with roads that were curved in the corners instead of meeting at 90 degrees. This provided a safe enough environment that children are often heard playing together outside, or at the nearby park. Almost all the homes have children, as the Mormon culture promoted large families. In the summer, the pastures behind our neighborhood were used for
My parents divorced when I was five, so I was raised in a single parent home by my mother. My aunt and mother both instilled in me what it means to be a strong, independent, God fearing woman. From the time I was born I attended church regularly, praise dancing and singing in the choir. Being able to touch someone while ministering the word of God is one of the greatest privliges I’ve had.
I like How to Make a Wish enough to cry and get emotional over certain scenes, but not enough to warrant a four star.
Devastated, I ran to my room gushing my eyes out. All these emotions going through my head of how my life would be without my parents in the same room or even house. From what I remember it all started about mid-June, the weeks before that were crucial. My parents would always argue over how to deal with a situation between me and my brother, Skyler. They hardly spoke to one another, but when they did they would just start bickering. I remember, one night after dinner they both went into ''their'' room with the door locked yelling at one another. Skyler and I didn’t know what to do, so we went downstairs and tried to figure out what was going to happen. With a scared tone I asked if mom and dad were going to get a divorce?" He answered back '' No, they love each other, they wouldn’t do that to us." That following night, was a school night everything was quiet except for my crying. I couldn’t sleep; all I was thinking about how it's going to affect my family.
