Santiago, states many times that he was born to be a fisherman, and that he accepts it. Unlike Santiago, many believe that people are not born destined to their futures. Life will constantly change, meaning that nobody’s destiny is certain. Our choices make our lives what they become, and things can and will always take a different route and change the future, whether intended to or not.

to makes you special. I know it’s hard to believe that one event could change your whole life but I promise you it can. A major life changing event happened to me on July 20th, 2011. This is the day that my youngest sister Carly was born. On this day my whole life was changed and it will never be the same again. July 20th I said good bye to my old self and started taking steps to become the person that I am today. My whole story started the day my mother told me that I was going to have another
Is a person born wanting to be a different sex, or does it just happen? Does someone wake up one day and say, “I think I want to change my sex”? Some people believe that it just happens, that one day a person just does not want to be the sex that they were born. Others say that a person is born with those feelings and that they just develop over time. Some say that they don’t act on those feelings during adolescence because of the stigma attached to being transgender, and the fact that kids are cruel
I have never looked up information about the day I was born, but The Day newspaper and my family supplied plenty of interesting information. I was born on December 24, 1997, in Phoenix, Arizona. I moved to Kentucky in 2000; therefore, I was too young to remember living there. Some people think that being a Christmas Eve baby is cool. Except they don’t understand what it’s like when your family members combine your birthday and Christmas presents together. When I looked at The Day newspaper I was
In Lady Gaga’s song “Born This Way”, the social issue presented is acceptance. This has been a controversial issue for many years because it is an old topic that is barely starting to be accepted by the public. Gaga chose to use music as the media in which to express the social issue that is accepting others for who they are. Gaga has been judged by the public for many years because of her unique sense of style and music, therefore she was perfect for this song. Lady Gaga uses her voice to gain awareness
The Day I Was Born Almost twenty-two years ago, on July 4th, 1994, I was born. I have heard many stories over the years about that day, but after interviewing my mom and dad I learned things I had not known whether they are accurate or not. When explaining the assignment to my parents I told them to email me everything they can remember on their own about the day I was born. After reading what they sent I found that I needed more details so I asked them both the same questions, separately. I asked
I was born on a Tuesday March 9 1999. I was born in Sioux fall, SD in Minnehaha county. I was born in Sanford hospital in the same room as my sister Sara and also my nephews Isaac and Austin. I were born exactly at 545 pm. Dr madison had to finish his patients for the day and then came to deliver me before he could go home. I was long and skinny.

Becoming a father is a life changing experience. Most fathers will remember that one special day for the rest of their lives, while other fathers say the day their child was born was the day their life as they knew it was over. After sitting down and interviewing three different fathers who had three very different experiences before and after child birth my eyes have been opened to the multiple views, experiences, memories, and feelings these three gentlemen have experienced or will soon experience
In the early days of life, from our childhood to adulthood, we go through enormous changes that shapes our future. I will talk about the life experience that sparked the person I am today and how much I have grown. I will start off by giving you the early stages of my childhood. First, let me talk about my earliest childhood days. I was born in Benton Harbor, Michigan to my lovely mother, Shronda Erby. Well, technically I was born in Saint Joseph, Michigan at Lakeland Medical Center. I like to call
night that seemed to last so long, and my father was gone for the entire weekend. As I sat in front of the fire, it felt like warm butter melting on my face as the gusting winds and snow developed outside. I meekly waited by the boiling fire for my loving father to come in from the brisk winter air.

He did not show up for
