From my own personal experience, I can tell you that before my birth, there was absolutely nothing. Human beings are arrogant in that way, because they believe that the sun rises and the earth rotates, for their enjoyment alone. I can safely say that I am no exception. I like to think that my birth foreshadows my life, because after all, it started with a big bang. To start off, I was not born in America, but rather, in the too-hot-to-be-comfortable country of Bangladesh. Despite being born

The cot as it turned out was whatever real estate you happened to claim. For McCoy this was an upgrade in life. If you really put your mind to it and got with the program, you could earn respect and recognition, two things he never got at home. It was amusing; from 1973 to ‘75, his military record showed citations and medals. Hell, they even provided formal

me. I have never really cried and always carried the persona that I didn’t care what people thought about me, and I made sure that even if I was having a bad day that no one else was. I have been bullied ever since I can remember, until I gained personal confidence and was determined to
Learning to Adapt to the Rollercoaster of Life Have you ever hit the highest peaks in your life and suddenly dropped deeper than the ocean? Almost like the adrenaline you get on a roller coaster. It goes to its highest point and then falls down at an accelerated rate. In other words, this describes the term “Life”. It may seem like the situation is all well and good, that is until the changes start to arise. It is something everyone will end up experiencing and adapting to throughout
In every person's life, there is an event that causes a change within them. One event that causes a chain reaction that alters that person in a vast way. If that circumstance hasn't already happened to you, I guarantee it will. It happened to me in the summer of 2011. My parents met in high school while attending Alhambra in the 1980's.

Living in the Southeast of Texas were white is right, black is wrong and anything in the middle lived in the gray area of life. My family is filled with living in the gray areas of life. Drugs and alcohol is that colorless friend that helps my family get thought life. At an early age alcohol was that friend that shown up and many the adults laugh and do silly dance during family gathering. It was that friend that lived less than 50 feet from my grandparents’ home.
