When I was five years old my family and I moved to arizona I did not want to move because I did not want to move far away from my cousins and aunts, so we started packing our things and I was kinda excited, but at the same time I did not want to leave the house I grew up and spend most of my childhood memories in. Once we arrived in arizona it all felt unreal and it felt like i was in vacation. We move into a big beautiful nice house and we lived there for two years and in those two years, we constantly moved from house to house. My dad thought he could make a better living in Arizona by building houses, but instead it was the opposite and we lost it all. We started losing money and it started going bad for my dad. At that time I lived in a two story house, my older sister will come and visit us sometimes; since she got married before we left, she was young we she got married she was 18. …show more content…

He meant this man i do not know where but all of a sudden we started coming up here to hesperia and my dad loves horses since he grew up with
For my film project I chose, Natural Born Killers, (1994) the film stars Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis as the notorious couple Mickey and Mallory Knox. The film follows Knox’s on their cross-country murder spree that captivates the world as the media glorifies their crimes making them the most infamous serial killers since Manson.
I never thought the day would come where I’d have to admit to myself I had an addiction. The hardest part was to except the fact I was an addict of painkillers and admitting it to my family so that I could get the help and support needed to get clean. The road leading to my addiction started with the factors of my childhood, always trying to fit in and not being supported emotionally from my parents. Having a child at the age of sixteen was the second factor, which made me grow up faster than a normal child at my age would have had to. Living the life of an addict was a struggle everyday but, getting help was the hardest part of it all. I’ll live with this disease for the rest of my life because recovery is a
There are numerous ways that women and young girls are impacted by the media and their bias. There are many different types of bias used in the media. These biases are bias by omission, bias by selection, bias by placement, bias by labeling, and bias by spin. Media bias has a great deal of influence on society, but the media has a detrimental amount of influence on women in young girls. Some of these effects are positive, but most of them are negative. Stereotyping, sexuality, and body image are among the most persuaded when it comes to media bias. It is essential that every single person be well informed about the tactics used by the media in these categories not only to keep themselves from being negatively impacted but also protect their children from these tactics.
Children have a tendency to bring out the very best in people. I can say I have been fortunate to have four little blessings of my own. I consider each of them as a blessing and each day I am reminded of how much they mean to me. My children have brought out the best in me--parts that I never knew existed. As children grow, so do parents. I have evolved into a better person with the courage to overcome all obstacles because of the love that I have for my children.
My family had to make a tough decision. We either, move down to Florida and help my Grandma recoup and get back on her feet, or stay in Colorado away from the family when they need us the most. My parents made the decision to move down to Florida. We got down there and it wasn’t what we thought it would be. It was far worse. We weren’t happy like we thought we would be. So, January of my sophomore year, we moved back to
[Being Unprepared] Because you have been sick, out of town, busy at work, or working on other homework, you didn 't have as much time to study for an important test as you needed. Everyone going to school has been in this situation. Think of a specific test that you took that you felt unprepared for and narrate the events. Tell your readers about the preparation that you were able to do, the reasons that you didn 't get to prepare as well as you wanted, taking the test, and any significant events that happened after you took the test. Your paper should help readers understand what it felt like to be unprepared.
The next week with a little less than a week left of school my mom takes us to school to drop off our books. While doing that I stopped in a class and said good bye to all my friends. I was afraid this day was come so I didn’t say anything to them until that day, I said goodbye we hugged and I left. I on the drive over to the new place it ended up raining making it an even worse day. The new place was nowhere close to how nice our old place was, the new was a beaten up old trailer in an old trailer park in Amelia.
As the numbers on the side of the road went up, the anticipation rose. It was always a tradition to count up/down the exit signs to pass the time. It was something my family did too often Each number represented the start to a new life. Being a military brat, moving was an annual event. The saddest part, saying goodbye to friends, was getting easier each year. I was always so excited to go to a new atmosphere and hear amazing stories from a new crowd. The adventurous books I read could possibly come to life. The thing is this movie was different from the others.
Hannah was more relieved than she dare let on when a reply came through shortly after hers was sent. He wasn’t ignoring her. Though it was more than evident that he was annoyed. In truth she understood, if he had longed to hear from her half as much as she had longed to respond then he had every right to be cold with her. She read through the message a few times, not wanting to make him wait again, but also not wanting to miss anything important in her excitement. The way he had signed off suggested that he wouldn’t be responding anytime soon.
It was a Thursday afternoon and I was patiently sitting in my chair at school talking to my friend Tanya about what we were going to do that weekend. I hear a voice say “Mr. Johnson can you send Lynn to the office for check out.” I was excited because this meant I did not have to go to math class. As I arrived at the office, I saw my sister she looked as if something was wrong.
Certain people in our lives affect us. My aunt, Dianne Schatz, influenced me the most in my life. As a kind and selfless person, she always helped those who could not help themselves and moved mountains for the people who needed someone to fight for them. She was my rock, my hero, and my role model. A lot of my ideas and thoughts of life have come from the mountain of inspiration Dianne Schatz left behind.
High school, is arguably some of of the most important years in a child’s life. Many of us have different backgrounds, stories, or experiences that have shaped who we are today. Some stories are dramatic, tragic, depressing. Most stories are exciting and fun! Sadly, my experience falls under the first category, tragic and dramatic. That isn’t always a bad thing though, sometimes it takes a lot to shape someone into who they are today, even if it has to wreck their life for a few 6 weeks.
As soon as i opened the doors of high schools, insecurity swept in like a cold wind. Everywhere I looked, students were achieving, what i thought at the time, was the impossible. Some of these kids had an ensemble of friends, seeming as if every corner they turned, would be someone new to greet them. Others would have scores and classes destined to take them to riches. Struggling my entire life in academics, i knew high school would be no different, but i had no idea that it would stab me much further deep than just a few low grades. The sanguine summer before freshman year, i had aspirations about high school, as if it were even remotely like the beloved hollywood film portrayed them. Nothing could have prepared me for the cesspool of insecurity i walked myself into to. As soon as i opened those doors, i knew i was in trouble.
My first real memories are of my parents divorcing when I was four. My mom left and moved to Vicksburg, which was an hour from where we lived. Up until that point, we lived in a house that my maternal grandfather owned. Within weeks we had to find a new placed to live. My sister and I lived with my dad’s parents for long periods of time because my dad often worked several jobs trying to save enough money to get a new house. For several years, my grandparents acted as parents when my dad was
Late to the biggest event of my high school career, graduation. All because I put too much on my plate at the last minute. It all started at 8:50 am may 16, the morning of graduation. That morning I woke feeling as if a chip had been removed off my shoulders because I was finally about to be done with high school. One of the best days of my life. That morning I woke took a shower, washed my face, and did my hair. When I was done I snuck into my mom’s room to grab her truck keys then I headed off to rehearsals at the Arkansas State University convocation center that started at 10 am.
