Story: Growing up, there was one phrase that I remember hearing all the time: Everything happens for a reason. Simple enough, right? Well, I grew up in a middle class family with both of my parents and four younger siblings. Our white-picket fence and silver mini-van were stereotypical evidence of how put together our lives seemed. At the time it was easy to see that everything happened for a …show more content…
One morning in Mexico I specifically remember waking up and having possibly the biggest epiphany of my life: If not for all of the unfortunate events I had endured, I wouldn’t have been in Mexico at that moment working, helping, and learning. After that trip, I realized that my passion was helping people. A plan for my future began take shape in my mind as decided I wanted to go into the Peace Corps after college. I got more involved helping at church on Sunday mornings, and I looked for more opportunities to help the community. Life didn’t get any easier, but I did my best to escape a difficult home life by staying busy volunteering and surrounding myself with passionate
I have reddish-brown wavy hair, I am 5’4”, and I weigh 127 pounds. I see myself as the comedian of my friend group. I am shy around people I am not very close with, but once I get to know someone, they can never get me to shut up. I believe others see me as hilarious, smart, caring, and fun to be around. In my free time, I hang out with friends, watch hockey, go shopping, sleep, and watch Netflix. My three best friends are Abby Quirin, Morgan Jetton, and Hunter Ross. Unfortunately, I constantly think about what my peers will think of me before I make my decisions. Although, my friends usually help me make wise decisions and give me the confidence to do what is right. My favorite things to eat are pizza, salad, spaghetti, watermelon, and chocolate.
I did not meet with Pt. , I was paged by Lisa Micciulla, front desk in the emergency room to please come to the ED concerning an "urgent" situation regarding this Pt. When I arrived in the ED registration area an MGH Security personnel stopped me to talk with Pt's daughter, Charlene McDonald. Pt's daughter explained she was not being allowed to see her father, who she understands was brought to MGH for surgery after a fall. Explained to Ms. McDonald, I was aware of Pt having a gaurdian, and that there was a court ordered visitation schedule between Ms. McDonald and Pt. She reported this was an extreme situation and she showed me text messages she had sent to Pt's guardian, Attorney Tine Hajjar. I advised I could not allow Ms. McDonald access to Pt. Based on the order from probate court. Ms. McDonald has visits with Pt on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday 11:00 a.m. -4:00 p.m.
Many parents and peers would say it is a gift that he has-- intense concentration and endurance, but he likes to call it “strength under control.” The truth is, under each attempt to gain control, is a wavering risk taker who is humbled by each unlikely victory that would always bring him to tears. That person is me. I like to thinking innovatively and calculate at least seven moves deep into the most risky and daring variations. At the 2013 National Championships, first table, I was paired against my close friend and arch-rival Austin Yang, the Taiwan chess champion. Everyone knew Austin was a machine, he had destroyed his previous opponents and had barely lost any game that year. To have a winning chance, I had to play the unconventional--the

Before I was born, my father had been looked up upon his family, he aimed to be the best so he decided to leave Pakistan and start a new life in America and bring his family along. Money was limited to him and for 10 years he had worked non-stop just to form a living and also to bring his brother to Texas. My dad would not stop hustling even after he was able to bring his brother to Texas both of them had worked till they were able to bring the whole family from Pakistan.

I was born in 1997 and that same year he had closed his dry cleaning business to pursue his dream of being an international entrepreneur in the used clothing business.
It is very hard to fit in when the odds are against you. I came to the United States from the land of wood and water, beautiful beaches, the world’s best jerk chicken and some of the friendliest people in the word; that are known for our warm smiles and welcoming personalities. If you have not already guessed this place by now, then please allow me to take you out of your misery. I am a proud black Jamaican single mother, who came here in search of a better future for myself and my daughter. I was blinded by the many advertisements that showcase the land of opportunities: filled with vigor and enthusiasm. I was ready to take on the world and leave my mark, but I was quickly stuffed into a small corner designed for people of color.
I was born and raised in Canton Ohio. I had a lot of trouble focusing on my classes when I went to school. I had six brothers and sisters and we were from a low income family. I had a sister, Debbie, who was a slow learner and went to a special school. I also have a brother , Eddie, who is mentally disabled and blind. As of now he is in an assisted living program in Ohio. After I moved to Utah in 1979 I found it really hard to get a job. This was my first time away from my large family. After many years out here in Utah , I meant Gene, we had a child together out of wedlock. I moved in with him and we lived together for about 34 years now. After our son moved out at the age of 21 years old , I was diagnosed with ADHD, by my doctor, Dr. Rinehart.
Unable to open my eyes, waking up trying to identify where I was, pedestrians stared, pointed and yelled “Oh! My god. Call 911”. Cars drove by. The sirens were heard but not spotted. What Happened? Where was I? I wept as if the entire world, and all of its beauty, had come to an end. And in a way, it had. On the night of April 7,1997 my thin body flew from the backseat passenger side of a Nissan Sentra crashing through the front passenger window onto the roadway of Old Town, Staten Island.
As I grew up in Northern Virginia in the middle class suburbs of Washington, DC, I suppose I had a typical childhood. I played on a girls’ volleyball team and joined the varsity cheerleading squad. I did other “girly” things like hair, nails, makeup, mall shopping and parties. Not so typical was the fact that I lived with my mother, my stepfather and six siblings. We have always been a close knit family who did several things together. Our regular quality time included movies and home entertainment with casual soul food dinners for friends and family. Museums, beaches, resorts, theme parks and other tourist attractions within a five hour driving radius were about the extent of our special group outings. At school,
The bullet was released from the chamber before Heath even heard the sound of the man approaching. As he spun to face his assailant, the 9mm entered just below his abdomen and he fell to the ground with his vision wavering and closing into blackness. The last voice he heard was the man saying, “I told you this would happen. This is what you get when you betray those close to you.”

Meg Lowery once said, “Being a single parent is not life full of struggles, but a journey for the strong.” From personal experience, I know that being raised by a single mother is very humbling. Throughout my life there have been several trials and tribulations. Growing up with one parent has definitely taught me about having faith. Seeing things like seeing my mother struggle to make sure my brothers and I had everything we needed. I never allowed that to hinder me. I let it motivate me to become who I am today. I feel it has made me diverse. I am now able to be a leader and a follower. Despite the past, I am able to be confident, while also being able to be humble. One of the most humbling experiences I’ve ever been a part of was when I was
My academic journey from music to applied gerontology were the culmination of challenges, stressors, and investments in time, money, and resources. However, the enlightenment, achievements, and people who helped me reach self-actualization of my goals were worth the scope of work and level of effort. The people I am obliged to are acknowledged herein.
When I go and meet people, they say this “Kim why are you so confident.” But the truth is I was not always like this. I have insecurities when it comes to talking to people, and sometimes I would have anxiety due to uncomfortable situations. This has been a huge struggle of mine because I would be made fun at and I was a victim of bullying which makes my insecurities worse. It has prevented me from standing up to myself, asking for help and many more. But this the story on how one comment made me so insecure.
I am the son of a naval aviator. By the time I was 10 years old I had lived in five different states and attended three different schools, each with a regionally varied curriculum. Just as I began to forge friendships, my father would receive orders to deploy to a new station. My family existed in a continuous state of change; new house, new towns, new routines. I found it difficult to make friends, noting I would likely have to soon say goodbye. My body also felt the strain of the continuous relocation to different environments. Transitioning sometimes took a year or more before I was fully adjusted to my new home.
