I have walked this path everyday for almost 15 years now since I was a young child. The path itself is next my childhood house in Doorest; the forest surrounding my house. I walk this path to clear my mind, it helps me separate from my stressful life outside this forest.
My dad is Charles Doorlington Sr. (making me Charles Doorlington Jr.) he is the CEO of a major manufacturing company called Doorlington Industries. During my childhood he was rarely at home and even when he was home he was always busy, when we did spend time together we didn't get along my mom had died in childbirth so I had no one to turn to, it was a lonely childhood. My thinking was interrupted by an unfamiliar sight, a door.
I have walked this path hundreds of times yet

other side I got the most intense headache I have ever had and it ended as soon as it began. I got a good look around the room, the walls were navy blue an there were yellow dots like stars, scattered about. A voice interrupted my observing “the headache is normal for newcomers” I looked over in the direction of the voice a somewhat translucent woman in a bright blue dress was standing in a corner and she looked exactly like my mother. “Mom,” I said. “No, I am and artificial intelligence modeled after Dooris Doorlington my creator's wife,” She said. “An my mother,” “What do you want to know about the fifth-Doormension,” “How do I see the future,” I asked “TO see the future touch the knob of the door to enter MR. Doorlington’s office open and walk through it.” “Thank …show more content…
The name Doorlington was everywhere on Buildings, on Clothes, and of coarse doors. Everyone looked miserable there were newscasts where my father explained new world wide rule that he was to enforce, it was a nightmare. I woke up in the present and ran through the door and I saw my father sitting in his desk like he always does and I say, “I know what you're planning dad, I have seen the door and the future,” “Very impressive son,” he said as he reached for something. “I only wish that you would join me in my conquest,” “No, you have zero motivation besides being evil,” “That's not true I want control of everything” “That is kind of crappy motivation, you could miss you wife and you think your doing this for her but actually you're selfish,” “Shut up,” He said as he raises his arm to point a gun in my face,” “Is this what mother would have wanted,” I say. “ His hand shakes and he looks away. I take this opportunity to take the gun out of his hand and point it at him. “You wouldn’t dare,” He says. “Wouldn't I?” I say back even though I wouldn’t. I point him to a phone and tell him call the cops,” “Wait son I know what I do is wrong, I’m sorry here,” He says as he throws me a lighter. “What is this for” “the doors, destroy them that is too much power to have,” “Okay and you promise not to take over the world,” “fine, I promise,” I
Studying in a foreign country is an interesting experience of an individual lifetime. One tends to learn a number of things relating to ways of life in a foreign land. Social, political and economic values and aspects are usually different from one region to another. Therefore, through studying abroad one is able to learn different issues about another society such as gender and sexuality issues, social class and race/ethnicity issues. Having come from a developing country studying in the U.S.A has been a great experience personally. This paper will attempt to provide a reflection of my personal experience on studying in the U.S by comparing the history of Angola and the U.S.
Growing up in Ghana, I had heard a lot of things about the U.S. This was a country I had always wanted to visit; my prayer was answered when I got the opportunity to travel there. Arriving in a new environment came with many experiences. Adjusting with food, language and the weather was not easy. With the passage of time, however I have been able to0 adjust and fit it. This write-up therefore is to elaborate on my experiences since coming to U.S.
I didn’t believe in aliens until I was abducted by them. I was put in some kind of contraption and I’m not sure what happened exactly, but it’s clear that I’m not where I was. Everything in 2016 is different, I don’t know if I’m in a different state or not but people are dressing differently and acting differently, and the cars, the cars are all different! I’ve been here for quite some time now and have noticed a lot of differences from where I lived in Oceanside, California in 1940. I’ve been transported to the year 2016 and there are so many things that have changed and evolved and among them are political, economic, social, and cultural changes.
Johnnie, Veronica, Frank et al. do me a solid with all your “knowledge” and “wokeness” step outside your educational privilege and support systems for a minute. I in no place in my post said anything about America being perfect so what you did was hijack a status about the solidarity I feel for the people in my life and in this country who very much will struggle with an intensified troubling life experience in the country to PROVE you have some kind of exceptional wokeness or understanding of America. MISS me with it. No America was not safe for everyone but we just did was extend the people who it was unsafe for. If that’s cool with you then carry on with your bullshit. I have NEVER EVER said it’s a safe place for everyone. I have NEVER
One day I was sitting in English class doing my work. Then a flying whale flew into the wall and destroyed it. It flew over to me and swallowed me whole. It then just flew back to the ocean. While in the whale's stomach I saw some interesting things like a dead person, a needle with steroids in it, a few soccer balls, a rabbit, and a roll of duct tape. After I had been in the whale's stomach for about 3 hours, it started to shake violently. Then something was squeezing the life out of the whale. All of the sudden i was flying through the air along with everything else. I landed on some sort of island.
I was raised in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. I am an U.S. Citizen, and I was born in Fort Myers, Florida, but my whole life I lived in Mexico. I was raised with my two brothers in my grandparents’ house, because my mom was a single mom, and always worked hard to bring money for all of us. My neighborhood was one of the worst, or that is why people said. I never felt in any kind of danger living there, because I knew almost all the neighbors, and also I never like going out to much. My community was not always very unified, because everyone were on their own issues, but every time someone pass out or any inconvenience happened, everyone were there. That was the good thing of my surroundings.
Walking, walking, and more walking. Today is the day that we begin traveling to Fiume to board a steamship to this place called America. My family doesn't have a lot of money so we can't afford a ride to the port. I only have one pair of shoes and they have many holes in them. We've walked for what seems like an eternity or at least to me. Today is very bittersweet. We're leaving the only place I've ever called home to live in a place we've never seen before. IM not ready to leave. I love Italy but I know it is no longer safe for me, my mom, and my dad. I'm only six years old but I'm old enough to know this could be all a lie. What if America isn't so amazing? What if we done make it? What if we get sent back? So many questions and not
Living in America gives us many freedoms and many blessings. I started my life in the Ukraine. This situation or circumstances I do not know. I came to America when I was 18 months old. A nice family, who lived in America, changed my life by adopting me. Being an
That’s basically all I could understand as I left the immigration center. People all around me were talking in languages I had only studied in textbooks, which barely helped. That was the first time I could really look around and see where I was. The sound of car engines roared in my ears as I walked across the street; people squashed into a small bus while chattering in a garbled language that made no sense. Everywhere I looked I saw chaos, and I couldn’t have been happier.
Living in America has its ups and downs. The different culture and people is what makes America to me. Every day I learn something new while I go to school in America. Personally, as the days go back I carless about humanity and more about myself and how to improve myself. Money has become a major need for me recently and I don’t believe in love anymore. Sometime I just sit and think what kind of person I be like if I keep living in America. I’m happy I can here for school, I don’t think I would know this must about life. And as the days pass by I learn so much more about myself that it makes me question if I ever knew anything to begin with. Unfortunately, I still wonder what life would have been like if I did my college education in Nigeria.
Some people view the outside world as a dangerous place full of disparity and misery, others like to embrace that unknown and try to use it as a catalyst for inner growth. I like to see myself as the latter, the individual who lives for the rush of the unknown. I looked down to see what I could only describe as a dream come true. It was a ticket for a six month tour around Asia that would lead to the complete immersion of native culture and tradition- Vietnamese Pho, the mountain folk of Nepal, the Muay Thai martial arts of Thailand, Chinese Architecture and the beaches of Laos are some of the places that we got to experience first-hand. As a participant I was expected to live with 15 other individuals from around the world that I had never
I was born in Havana, Cuba and lived there for ten years. If I am honest I cannot remember much about Cuba unlike my mother; however even though I cannot remember much I always used to think that Cuba was home regardless of how long we stayed in America. Similar to most children I took after the actions of my parents while growing up. If my mother and grandmother spoke about Cuba or any topic related to it I would listen to them and then I tried to have the same conversation with my uncle as if to let them know that I was thinking about Cuba as well. I used to believe that when we flew over to America we brought Cuba with us and that was a normal thing; however my thinking was changed over the course of only one year in America.
My parents weren’t born in the U.S they were from Mexico working hard in a factory for any needs. As time passed they had to illegally pass to the U.S to give birth to my older sister, my younger sister, and I. I knew they had come to the U.S for a better living and for us to have a better future in education. Education was difficult to proceed in Mexico with all the violence and disappearance of children nearby school entrances. School wasn’t easy for me as I thought it would be, but I fought through blood, sweat, and tears gradually. My family was always there for me pushing me to greater standards and even when I’d back down in tears their words where the motivation to continue the work and that everything is accomplishable if you put determination
I was born on August 22, 1998 in the small farm town of Galt. I grew up caught between two worlds: my Filipino household and my American school. Every morning as a child I would wake up and go to school to Lake Canyon Elementary, learning from predominantly white teachers, speaking English, socializing with a predominantly Mexican and White student body, and spending money on soggy, greasy American food in the cafeteria. At the end of the school day, I would come back home to my parents speaking Kapampangan, say my daily prayers, and eat delicious Filipino food. In school, I was always highly aware that I was extremely different than a majority of the students at school. The only other Filipino at my elementary school was my cousin. At points,
My life has been one gigantic moving party from one region to another. I was originally born and raised in the mosquito-infested city of Chittagong, Bangladesh in the thana of Halishahar. I was a very curious child, to say the least. By my fourth birthday, I had three near encounters with death from drinking kerosene, to eating soap, and almost drowning. Due to my little indevours my mom thought it was best if we lived with my father in the United States for my safety and the safety of my younger brother. The day after my fourth birthday we left our homeland.
