Personal Narrative: Justin And Tee

Since the moment my oldest brothers moved to the United States my family knew we could not be apart from each other. Four years past, enough time to finally go start a new life with my brothers in the U.S. In between those four years I was born, my sisters would always talk about my unknown brother to me. Then they told me we were going to move. I was barely two years when we came to the U.S. It was February 25, 2004 when we said goodbye to my grandparents, mom and dads family. It was a long ride from Mexico City to Nogales, when we arrived in Nogales my brothers friend, Alejandro was waiting for us in a minivan. Alejandro told us that the toughest part was coming. He said we had to split up, my sisters and dad was going to walk through the

A government is only instituted to ensure the rights of citizens. The Declaration of Rights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reserves the state’s right to certain powers that were not said in the United States Constitution. One of these powers is the ability to govern themselves as a free state (Document #7). One of the main reasons colonists were hesitant for a federal government was the strength and privileges the government would have. Colonists did not want the federal government always overriding the state government because it would infringe their rights. When the colonists give themselves the right to powers not stated in the Constitution, they are expanding their power. This also stops the federal government

After being dropped off from dance late at night, I was expecting to walk into a silent house where everyone was asleep. Instead, I walked into my living room to find the rest of my family sitting on the couch with the television off, which was strange for my family. It was clear they were waiting for me to get home, so I sat down too. My mom and dad exchanged a look and a sigh then turned back towards my brother and me. They babbled absently for a few minutes, then, my mom quickly spit out the words, as if ripping off a Band-Aid, "We are moving back to Arizona." There was a brief moment of stunned silence before I burst into tears. I could not imagine why my parents would decide to separate me from my best friends six months before we were supposed to

I agree with you in your response to question three. The situation went on way too long. After the janitor was told not to come by the room and he then did it again, I would have called him in and issued a written reprimand for his personnel file.

I believe that everyone lives life in a different ways. There isn’t a certain way to follow in life. You have to make life fun and live it to the fullest. Whether it be by yourself or with somebody you love. To me I don’t think anyone should be individual their whole life. Everyone should have somebody male/ female that they can be happy with. Life is full of surprises and it throws new things at us every day.

Thanks for forwarding the paintings from Tante Nel, they are not bad at all and good for her to be still so active and take up different activities. I Painted quite a bit when I was young but I haven’t done it in years. I do have a nice painting of a marine scene painted in 1909 with some damage I like to restore that someday.

I can relate to B.J. from Tears of a Tiger to my own life. I can relate my life to B.J more than any other character. The first reason I can relate myself to B.J. is because I do not drink. “ Yeah we was drinkin’-- all cept’ B.J.-- he don’t drink.” proves that B.J. does not drink just like me. Another reason is I am to short to play basketball just like B.J. An example from the text is “ Naw, B.J. don’t play on the team-- he’s too short, but the four of us hang together.” And the last reason I can relate to him is because I do not pray very often like B.J. I pray in bad emergencies. “ I know I don’t pray very often, and I know you haven’t seen me in church lately, but I feel like I need to pray or something.” I have friends that I hang out

The second Amendment to the Constitution, which concern is the rights to bear arms, has always been a hot-button issue, especially during election season. In the United States, the ability to choose whether or not to own a gun means favoring or opposing the right and the legislation restricting rights that come with it. For years, gun rights and gun control groups alike have been lobbying Congress for decades to sway legislation to their respective favors. The question then become, should the United States have more control over guns? The issue of guns in America should remain in the hands of the citizens because it helps people feel more safe and they help prevent people from becoming victims of crime.

In June, My friend Alex and I where at my house playing videos games on a saturday night, as I was also texting Jayde Gough at that time. She texted me telling me she didn't have a place to sleep after the party and asked me if she could stay over. Alex and I drove to St. Jacobs where the party was held and ended and picked her up and drove back to the house. All three of us went down into the basement and I brought my matress from my bed into the main room and also blew up an air matress, Jayde and I were laying on the matress from my room, and Alex was on the air matress. All three of us were watching Netflix. My Dad called down the steps and asked Jayde if she wanted to sleep in the spare bedroom up stairs, and she replied with "No thanks"

I couldn't believe we were actually leaving Florida. My heart sank when I got into the car. "Why do we have to leave?" I asked my mom as I started to cry. My brother had helped us pack, and he walked up to the car and gave me a hug and said goodbye. Saying goodbye back was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Earlier today a few of my friends dropped by to say goodbye. I love my friends in Florida i didn't want t leave them at all! But, The hardest part of today was leaving all of my family. I don't now what I'm going to do without knowing that they were not going to be a few minutes away anymore. They would be 16 hours away!

In each of Ms. Cruz's classes, examples of culturally responsive instruction can be identified. Her teaching strategies are used to make sure that all students, regardless of background, level of achievement, or learning style are engaging and applying themselves. This can be seen through Mrs. Cruz's connections between the content being taught and real-life experiences. For example, while teaching the integers, Mrs. Cruz drew an ocean on the board and identified the negative numbers under the sea, positive numbers in the sky, and the origin/0 on the surface of the ocean. This activated the student's prior knowledge and allowed them to remember these concepts thoroughly. Further, the students were personally asked to relate integers

There were fireworks when I was born. At least that’s what I’d like to think. I was born on July 5, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia. I was only 31 minutes short from being born on Independence Day. I was pretty much an “outcast” from the beginning. I was quiet and usually preferred to be alone or with just my family. From a young age I became fascinated with movies, particularly older movies. When I was eleven years old I saw the film that helped me figure out what my passions were and who I wanted to be. The film was Dazed and Confused (1993). I know it sounds like a joke considering the films contents, but every aspect of it intrigued me. After watching that, I began developing an urge to do something in the film industry. Eventually when I was

The person who was the most influential being in my life has been Sgt. Yost. He let me know he cared, he made me understand my sense of worth as a student, and showed me what i was capable of academically. To provide someone with the same experience i received in education would be an everlasting experience. The opportunity to give back to my community, alongside my credentials in leadership based programs influence me to ignite an evergreen passion in the hearts of those in my community

It all started happening when my mom had decided to move to Atlanta. It wasn't going to be easy leaving Louisiana; this was my home for fifteen years and now we just have to pack up our stuff and leave. It wasn't easy for me and I could tell my younger siblings Jace and Sadie could tell that they didn't know what was going on, but i'm sure that if they did. They wouldn't be to thrilled.

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.
