anyone was an awesome feeling. I lived life and always was the life of the party. When I moved backed to New Orleans nothing changed, except the day I went out. Every Sunday was the day to go out and have fun at the House of Blues. Leaving the club till about three in the morning; trying to sneak back in the house before my parents awake. Those were the day, my irresponsible days of “living my life”. Everything changed once I became pregnant at age twenty. On my twenty-first birthday I wasn’t popping
It was Friday, July 15th, 2005, I woke up to my grandma telling me with happy tears in her eyes that my mom was in the hospital. I froze, I was shocked, I didn’t know what was going on. “What happened” I asked my grandma worried about my mom. She didn’t answer. Once again I asked “What happened”, I still got no answer. I’ve never been so worried in my life, I thought something bad happened to her. After me constantly asking the same question over and over I finally got an answer. Once I found
Caiden Cannon WTR 3 - Desiree’s baby B1 Create a new setting and describe how it would change either the plot, the characters or the mood of the story. In the short story, Desiree’s Baby by Kate Chopin, the setting and local colors are driving factors in how much of the events play out and a driver in conflict. For my WTR I’ve decided to completely change that. Through developing my new setting I can try to contrast the events that happen. I find the easiest way to contrast the setting is to compare
Even Though He Is Gone He Is Not Forgotten To watch the life slowly slip away from your baby, to see the doctors and nurses try to do everything to save his life, even though he was able to be resuscitated still did not mean he would live to see another second, minute, day, week, or month. Little did my husband, children, or I know that on the morning of February 13, 1991 it would be the last time our son, their brother would be at home. None of us knew that on February 14,1991 at Elgeston Childrens
Harleen Shahi Baby Care Reflection Overall, I did not enjoy doing this project because it was extremely difficult, especially having to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of the baby, but I also believe it was highly educational since I got to learn many new things. This project allowed me to experience the difficulties which many endure in the early stages of baby care. By taking care of the baby, waking up in the night, performing many tasks for the baby, it made me more empathetic
words swirled through my mind, my emotions started to build up, tears ran down my young face in excitement and confusion. I was silent and speechless. “How?”, “when?”, “with who?”, these questions built up in the back of my head before proceeding to respond with a blunt answer of “no way!”. Smirking faces showed up in the room to view my reaction from the news and we all started hugging the mommy- to-be. This news was exciting, but we all had many detailed questions. All of my family’s emotions were
The Day That Changed My Life Only 38% of girls who have a child before the age of eighteen get a high school diploma. Thankfully with my motivation and support I was on the positive side of this statistic. Even though I have come a long way within the past year, it has been a year full of challenges and emotions. Within two days I found out that I was expecting a baby, I went into shock because of the life adjustment that I would have to make, and I also built the strength up to tell my mom about the
sitting in the back of my dad’s truck, my mom was yelling at him, telling him it was time. She stated that her water had already broken. We were going to visit our family members which would’ve taken around half a day to see them. I was afraid of what was going to happen, but also incredibly excited about it. I looked out the window and saw nothing but barren land. There was nothing but dirt and a few dead plants for as far as my eyes could see. I began to slowly roll down my window, but immediately
that I was once again going to be an older sister, my stomach was in knots. After having a little sister and a little brother previously, I didn’t know if I would want another troublesome baby to pester me. When my mom told my younger siblings and I about the unimaginable news, I remember thinking, “Why another one?” I couldn’t believe that something so unplanned could’ve happened. I was alike any other 10 year old; I went shopping, I helped my mom clean and cook, I loved to eat candy, and I was
up, but in my case my imaginary friends were actual people who I just didn’t know. Growing up I learned I had two biological brothers that were adopted when I was one. I’d always dreamed about what it would be like to meet them and play with them. After sixteen years that dream became a reality. My mom had eight kids total but only three were biological. I grew up with my five half-siblings, two were older than me and three were younger. My oldest sister, Tiffany, first told me about my two older
