Personal Narrative-Loss Is An Open Door

Walking away from everything you once knew and starting over is never a picnic. Leaving Iraq, and moving to America has impacted my life more than anything. I was only 4 years old at that time, and the only English I spoke was “excuse me, water please.” My family and I did not know it then, but our lives were going to change; we would become “Americanized”. Learning English was one of the massive changes that occurred, the way I dressed (culture), and even the way I had power to go to school and educate myself.

I've been fairly busy as of late. Notably, yesterday was a pretty interesting day. I'm not exactly feeling well, think I'm coming down with something. How often is it that a Jedi contracts a cold? Just not feeling as spry, I think. My stomach is churning as I type, something is missing, think I might have to take a reprieve sooner rather than later. Maybe I'll be gone for a cycle, maybe I'll be gone for a year. I don't know. I just know that I need to focus on other things. That's not the point of this entry, however.

Over the past two months, I have made a lot of changes. It is the first time I was in a professional work setting. I have been making a lot of friends, meeting new people, and gaining plenty of valuable experience. Throughout my efforts, the general manager offered me a full time job when I graduate and even to do work for the company while I am at school. Although I am not sure this is the path I want to take upon graduation, it is definitely exciting to hear my first job offer. It has definitely allowed me to realize how close the real world is and has given me a taste of what that might encompass. I have definitely grew my customer service skills and increased my networking connections. I had the opportunity to meet Phil Simms, the

That moment had played about a thousand times in my head, giving me guilt of not trying hard enough. Both me and my pockets were empty, with and exeption of a rusty old dime. Ignoring these shameful incidents, I have accepted reality and truth to conclude the fight is not only during the match. I have risen up from the dark pit to grasp the glory within the rings. Of tomorrow, that positive feeling has caused me to run to the boxing gym of the early morning. Despite the anger and pain, I fought overnight with sweat dripping down my face as I slowly rose out of my unwanted

There is only one way to introduce yourself to the community. As a new superintendent, I would become part of the community and I would support the community. This involves identifying the movers and shakers in the community, leaders of the local and county governments, business, church leaders, and community organizations. I enjoy meeting people and I enjoy meeting them face to face. Within my first week, I would go to these people, introduce myself, and I would listen.

I won't be disappointed anymore. The utter bitterness taste of a loss. Set me back centuries from mental state, but by repeating the same mistakes at the same tournament.

We have all lost someone or something at one point in our lives. If you haven’t, then you will. Loss triggers so many emotions fear, anger, doubt, and sadness. Sometimes I don’t know how to control those emotions, I feel like I’m drowning in all of them, struggling to rise up and stay strong. When I lose something, I have random mood swings. I also always find a way to blame myself.

'At this point, he was losing consciousness, ' recalls father Roberto Llanas Sr. 'At that point I got scared and called an ambulance. '

As I sat in the capacious hall, across the two colossal brown wooden double doors, I felt both apprehensive and relieved. I had never been inside a courtroom before, but knowing what was being done behind these double doors, gave me a sense of safety and invulnerability. However, when the garrulous woman with the blue reading glasses came to get me, I was ambivalent about having to speak to her. I remembered my father’s voice, instructing me what to say and to heed his warnings as to what would happen if I didn’t follow his instructions to the letter. And so I lied to the amicable lady with the blue glasses, and the big room with the brown double doors was unable to protect me from my father, who for years had now been terrorizing my mother, my siblings and myself. I was five years old.

At first I was actually thinking what to draw for about a day but when I had my idea I knew what to do I was going to draw a report card with all the subjects and put A’s next to them and then I was going to draw a bubble with a high school, a college, a job.

The requirements were to draw a symbol of what your short-term or long-term goal is. And this symbol had to be colored and neatly drawn no ( stick figures) and it had to be perfect no sloppy drawing or pens! This assignment is unique because it was not boring this was a fun assignment I wasn’t getting mad
