    English is my second language because I was raised by my grandparents, since my parents always dedicated their time to work to provide us with a better future.

What I thought about reading

    Memoir Essay Memoirs, and writing in general, reveal a truth about the author. Oftentimes, said truth is revealed intentionally. Universal truths such as struggle, endurance, and agony help authors influence their audiences. These truths cause the readers to become cognizant of and appreciate the authors. It is a writer’s duty to write from the heart—to write about the good and bad sides of a story. Annie Dillard’s An American Childhood fails to use universal truths and instead presents a very superficial

    Struggle is a natural thing in life. There is no escaping the struggles that life will throw at you. But when you struggle, there is always success soon to come. Surfing taught me that you must fall before you can stand. That you will struggle before you succeed. When most girls turn sixteen years old, they want a big party, with presents, loud music, loads of friends, and just overall craziness. At least that's how I always imagined it.

I believe I most struggle with my grief in the loss of my father, which I know I am not the only one

    similarities between me and them. It would be quite a while when I accidently watched a cartoon and came to realise what she meant . It was ‘goofy’ and not ‘goldfish’. Coming from a small town in Nepal with my limited set of vocabularies it would be a struggle to adjust in my new environment but what intrigued me the most was the fact I was goofy.
