Personal Narrative: Parenting With A Parents

Annoyed at this, I turned once again and lay on my back. I took a deep

My parents divorced when I was about seven years old, and my mom became the custodial parent. As my younger sister and brother, and I could adapt to always going back and forth between our parent’s. The challenging thing about having divorced parents is meeting their new significant other, which I have met multiple of them. Another thing is meeting my parent’s significant other’s children. Each person I met was nice, and if I was meeting a toddler, they were energetic. Although, each time I did meet these people, I was usually very distant and dramatic.

The past wasn’t pretty for the town. They weren’t always like this. Before, people could dress how they want, say what was on their mind, but most importantly they were free. They didn’t have to listen to anyone, they didn’t have to do what they were told. There were no rules.

I just had a telephone conference with CH mother/Jessica Cahill. Parent inform his physician, Dr. Cardino, MD (GI). Starting on Monday, student will have to take medication before every meal and snack. (5 times a day) The medication is Sucride? Parent was not sure of the correct spelling. Parent was informed that we could administer the medication at school with her permission and physician’s order. Parent will come in on Monday to bring in the medication, doctor’s order and sign consent. There are no diest restrictions per mom, except that he is lactose intolerance and has “short Gut”. Parent is also taking student to a neurologist during the summer for an evaluation ton R/O ADHD, anxiety and depression. Informed parent to share the information

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was in a park, bright and sunny out , I was feeling every kind of emotion there was to feel. I didn’t know what to expect or how I was going to react. My mom was right next to me looking calm as ever. How did she do it? Suddenly, I see a car pull up and a taller, muscular man steps out. That’s the very first time I met my biological dad.

For the first parent interview, I interviewed my friend Randy. The interview took place in the living room of my house. His daughter was present but was playing with my sister at the time of the interview. Randy is the father of a toddler girl who is three years old but will turn four soon. Randy was born in 1992, he is not married but is cohabiting with the mother of the child and his parents’ home. In addition, Randy works for a medical supplies company and has only completed high school. Moreover, when he had his first child and only child, he was 21 years old.

Since birth, my life has been very hard to understand but I've always been very open to whoever wants to know about it. On January 13, 2003 I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My parents were Anita Gomez and Billy hunt. I then moved to Georgia a while later, and then made my way to Calhoun.

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

Two pink lines. I gasped! I remember feeling overwhelmed, my body shaking from the excitement. It finally happened! My husband and I had tried unsuccessfully for a year, and finally, two pink lines. When I told him, he asked me over and over if I was sure. I was not sure how to react, since we had wanted it for so long. I knew being a mom was going to be hard, but I had no idea exactly how difficult it would be. I never realized how much life would change when I became mom.

When I was sixteen years old, I had my first child. The experience was a long process of ups and downs. There were many lessons to be learned. Strength, motivation, courage and determination were my goals to getting through the obstacle of having my daughter at sixteen. The feeling of being pregnant and sixteen was horrible. How I got through it is the start of this story.

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

This was the first time we were all in parent teacher conference together my sister, mom, Mindy and I. “Okay let’s divide and conquer guys, it will be quicker, mom go with Mya and Mindy come with me.” My mother turned as I dragged Mindy down the hall of my sister’s school and yelled “wait man I want to meet your teachers to damn just hold up it will only take a second,” and knowing my mom and the teacher we were going to be there forever. Every time a parent teacher conference comes around it’s tricky as many people always wonder who is my real mom, my biological other has huge muscles and short “flame like looking hair, while Mindy is slim and has slightly longer hair with curls. Many of my teachers and students wonder who is that woman with the short curly hair “Who is she?” “Is she your aunt?” “ Whoa Jared I didn’t know you had a sister...she is really hot,” these are the questions I receive

One of my biggest contribution as a teacher at Carver Dual Language is my involvement in our parent community events. I have always been a big advocate of creating parent involvement in our school. When I worked for Citizen Schools in Oakland, CA, I worked a lot with our teachers and Citizen Schools fellow to create family events and bring in resources to our school for our families. Through Citizen Schools, I was put in charge of running our Family Fellows program for Citizen Schools in California. I worked with our fellows to better support them in their role. When I moved to Kansas City and started working for Kansas City LINC (Local Investment Commission), I continued my work with families. During the school year 2012-13, I worked with Whitter’s Elementary parent liaison to create events

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.

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.
