February twenty-third 2010 was just a regular ordinary day. I was on my way to class on this cold February afternoon, when my phone rung. It was my cousin on the other end telling me to call my mom.

believe that guns should be on campus. They did this by describing that the number of students who would actually carry on campus would “be small” and it would be “older community college students” (“Fernandez,” 2015).

They wanted to make the public happy by passing the bill because the number of people for it outweighed the ones against it. The opinion of people such as the
“It is a simple law of attraction that you get back what you put out into the universe. The more give the more you attract, when you put good energy into the world we get more good energy back and make those around us feel good.” Those words are not just words they greatest piece of advice that anyone has ever gave to me. They weren’t words given to me by just anyone, but my mom. She gave me this advice when I was going through some hard times in my life where I felt like everything was just

I started high school in September of 2014 and I was still trying to adjust country because I had moved from Guyana to the U.S.A. I faced many challenges when starting new school but nothing could be compared to my experiences with Algebra. I remembered I had Algebra 1 (5th period).
