The enviornment i was raised in was a very nice and loving home. Before i moved in with my Aunt and Uncle which i call them my " mom and dad." My biological mother and farther were on drugs and they never took care of me so i lived with them for a little while and i was abused and etc. But i soon moved into my aunt and uncle house when i was ten years old. Ever since i lived them they have been the best parents ever i coudln't trade them for anything in this world. They did nothing but spoil me and just show me how any kids would want the attention from their parents. I hear nothing but stories about me from their coworkers its awesome. My mom is such an amazing women she made me who i am today, I couldn't ask for anyone better. I know i give her a little bit of drama everynow and then but that is …show more content…
With my mom being who she is being her werid self it grew on me and now i'm just so open about everything. I get comments from people calling me "werid and etc." But i am totally cool with it because i am just being who i am. Now my dad, his werid, over protective, and ugly self. I appericate him so much even though he gets on my nerves when it comes to close i wear, people i hang out with, and his dumb little comments. He is the best dad i ever had even though he annoys me but that's normal because i annoy him also. Me and him have a bond that no one can take from us doing little argurments calling each other " ugly" and wrestling. My siblings, my little brother he is so annoying but i abosulty love him to death. He has artism but that can't change how much i love the kid. My older brother we are close i can talk to him about anything and he is pretty werid but also very quite. He likes to keep to himself but that is how we are all. I can honestly say i love my family to death, i love the trips we going on staying in hotles just seeing and being around a new
The moment in time when I realized that I was never going to have a Father like the rest of my friends changed the course of my life. As a young boy it was difficult coming home after a baseball game where each of my friends dads were there to cheer them on. I was left with the Father that was incapable of working or even getting himself out of bed. My fathers illness showed me to never take life for granted because one day your life can be normal and another day you're best days have already past.
When I was little my mother was with my brothers’ dad and she wasn 't the best mother. I think that I am the way I am today because of how she was and I knew I did not want to be like that. A lot of my
As I have gotten older, I have come to the realization that I do not know enough. Their experiences taught them and mine have taught me. I have relied on my mother and father for lots of things, from advice, help with kids, and financial support. They have always been there for me no matter what and I realize that they did what they did out of love. We seldom have any conflicts, now. We can sit down and have adult discussions. They do not always agree with my choices but they do support me. They tell my brother and me that we are adults and they cannot tell us what to do. I respect and love them the same as they do me. Ours roles are slowly reversing. They are getting older, their health is failing, and I find them relying on me more. I am happy to do for them what they have done for me.
My parents journey from Vietnam to America has impacted me emotionally through out the years by the stories they tell me. For them to say their aspiration was to come to America to have greater opportunities, for there family is breath taking. Without my parent’s journey and stories, my identity would be so plain and incomplete.
One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
The struggle of not being able to breathe properly, gasping for air while the fever inside was killing me little by little and my fragile self in the age of four did not know what was happening to me I was brain dead, more like clueless little kid almost having a near death experience of having a seizure that in the end it changed my life and the way I looked at it because God gave me another chance to actually prove to him that I can be someone in my life and grateful to be alive today knowing that I have family that actually loves me for who I am.
The story about I Martranika Gross, called changing my life. It all begin with many ideals that I had in mind to become while changing my life so my daughter will fix in. First was continue my education at Strayer University and a journey to follow. Next, becoming a role model with a pathway lay out for my daughter, a showing her not to stay you can’t to become successful. Finally, overcome obstacles first you have to have faith within yourself, and the key word is knowledge.
Despite our financial struggles she always gave me love and support and we were happy with what very few we had. My mother was disciplined parent. I would get punished for wrong doings. On the other hand she was nurturing and easy to relate with. She taught me how to ride a bicycle to driving a car; she believed in me and always blessed me with her words of wisdom.
Education is not to teach men facts, theories or laws, not to reform or amuse them or make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellect, teach them to think straight, if possible, but to think nevertheless. Robert Maynard Hutchins
Initially, my family including my mother, father, and two older brothers have helped inspire me to become the person I am now, and the adventures I have with my family have helped me change my aspect on the world. To start, as I was growing up, my parents were constantly busy with work leaving me with my brothers; one, which is only a year older than me, 16, and the other is almost twice my age, 29. If I ever needed help with my homework, or needed to go somewhere, I would go to my brother, in hope, he would actually say yes. And most of the times, he would say yes which would make my eyes twinkle and my smile brighten. Also, I love to go on adventures with my family.
When kids in school used to ask me about my mom or dad, I made up stories. My mom was studying to be a nurse, my dad was an entrepreneur who owned his own business, and they were both too busy to take me to school, so my grandmother walked me there every day. All of these stories were actually true at one point in time. I just omitted some major pieces of information because no other 3rd grader I knew would be able to understand my unique situation.
I have three siblings along with three nephews. I have a younger sister, older sister, and one older brother. My older sister is the one that had my nephews. We all lived under the same roof until I moved out for college. My mother was more like my father in the house because my father was away working for us, and even though my siblings are her children, it seems that they 're her siblings too. It felt that I was the parent of my nephews and little sister because of the way I had to care for them because everyone else was working. I connect with my immediate family firmly. We always look out for each other because we mean so much to one another. I
Growing up, I was raised by a single mom who gave birth to me while attending college which meant we didn’t have a lot. I still remember being woken up early in the morning by her and driven to my grandparents where they would watch me while she took on 2 shifts each day. Because of the amount of hours, she would work my grandparents took on the role of taking me to my school functions and sporting events. Although it was hard not always having my biggest fan there to cheer me on I knew inside that she would give anything to be there watching but someone had to put food on the table. We had to move quite often due to my mom’s job constantly relocating her to different branches. By the time, I had entered the 1st grade my mother and I were moving into our 5th residence in the Houston area. I was still in my adolescence so moving never seemed to bother me as long as I had my toys and a TV I was pretty content.
Our parents work hard to get us where we are today. Due to the fact that my parents had lack of education and there English wasn 't that good they wasn’t able to get a job that was more relaxing. Though they work in company only they were able to earn enough to raise all of us. Through nurture, now that I’m older I don’t exactly see all the struggles that my parent had gone through to raise me, but I do see and understand more about the struggles. Their love for us, nothing can compare to it. Seeing what my parents had gone through and how hard they have work inspired me to work hard, go to school get a good job so in the future they can depend on me and just rest.
My parents are now not only raising me, but my sister, Chrissy, because my brother moved out since he is 28 years old. I’d say my mom did a little bit better job raising us then she did my brother because this was her second-go-around which she already had experience doing. I think she took her mistakes with my brother, and learned from them. We’re turning out alright thanks to her and my dad!
