September 1, 2000 the day I was brought into this world. Probably the best looking baby on the block and everyone wanting to hold me. I was the youngest of three Japhet, Hayden and me. They took care of me quite well and protected me like no other, for I was the only girl out of the three. I had a great childhood as I could remember, having birthday parties, fighting with my brothers, and watching soccer games with the whole family. With me being the only girl it was finally time my mom was able to buy all the dresses, hair accessories, and shoes. Yet once she put any type of hair accessory in my hair I immediately took it off and didn’t let her put it back in. I don’t really remember my infant years but I probably just ate, pooped, cried, …show more content…
I was a bit younger so I didn’t know what was going on until I got the Chuck E Cheese. Once I got there I was in awe with all the lights flashing before me, and the smell of pizza in the air. Stoked out of my mind I ran to were all my friends were. We played all the machines and tried to get as many tickets for the prize booth. It was finally time to eat, which we were seated right in front of the stage they had with all the mascots. Behold the Chuck E Cheese mascot which was a rat came out and my eyes widen and I started running. Figuring out where to hide, I went under the table. My mom told me to get out from under and that nothing was going to happen to me. Yet I didn’t trust her until I went into a room where some of my aunts, mom, and the mascot were there. Still freaking out the mascot took of its head and behold a human. At that time I didn’t know that someone was inside and my mom tried on the head to show me that everything was going to be okay. Relieved that the human rat wasn’t going to harm me, I went about the party and had a good rest of the day. Yet we never ended up having another party again at Chuck E. Cheese. As I got older I got into new hobbies one of them skateboarding. Japhet and I were walking around the neighborhood and we saw a skateboard just laying around. Nobody was around so we ended up taking it back home. Japhet had recently boughten a skateboard so I used the one we found. Practicing and scraping …show more content…
I had always been pretty flexible and every year as I was the olympics it intrigued me. The first day I went was all mixed emotions but I was crazy excited. We started off with stretching which made me realize that there were others that had no flexibility in their body whatsoever. The staff was quite impressed on what I was able to do, which made me feel ten times better. Yet I was lacking in the arms for I had “noodle arms.” Pulling up on the bar made my arms wiggle, and was impossible to flip over. Embarrassed that I had no upper body straight made my confidence a zero, until I got to the beam not that was my jam. Right on the first day I was able to do a cartwheel of the 4.1 feet tall beam; now that made my confidence shoot up to a ten. Sore from the first couple of days I got used to it by the second week. After the course was done I had… a six pack and I was around twelve years old. Those classes made me
It was my senior year of high school, I was sixteen, getting ready to turn seventeen. It was my senior year of high school. I was not your typical girl wearing makeup everyday and worrying about getting dolled up for school. I did not play sports. Don’t get me wrong, I would get all dolled up if I had something special to do like go to a school dance. I had a part time job at Olive garden because my parents motto was “if you do not play a sport you need to work!” My mom used to say to me “you know Alana back in my time I was not able to work so you are very lucky you're able to work.
In fourth grade I took gymnastics. I really like it, and had a lot of
Almost twenty years ago, around this time of the month, you had a baby girl on November twenty-six. Like every parent you are happy, smiling at the baby, holding my hands and taking pictures. I grew up, stood up, walked for the first time, said my first words, and lost my baby teeth. It’s time for me to go to my first day of school; you don’t want me to go because you got use to my presence in the house. Meanwhile, you are low-key wishing for me to stay a baby girl, when you know perfectly that it isn’t going to happen.
“Gymnastics taught me everything- life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.” -Shawn Johnson (Former Olympic gymnast). In my interview with Franchesca Hutton-Lau I found this quote to prove very true to her. Franchesca Hutton-Lau, often called Frankee by her friends and teammates, has been a gymnast ever since she was five years old. In my interview with her, she enlightened me on her struggles, experiences, lessons, and successes which she’s taken from this treacherous sport. Chesca, as I call her, has a very different life from the average high school student.
My parents knew that I loved skateboarding so they would help me, my dad would take me to my uncle's house and him and my cousin would give me pointers as I rode the hills in their neighborhood. My mom would buy me the things I needed to fix my skateboard. They both saw how upset I was that I couldn’t ride so they would encourage me to keep going and not to stop just because there was an obstacle in my
The living room was dark and the only thing you could see was the brightness of the TV. Also, I could still hear many people talking from down stairs, fire truck siren going off, and the city lights that were still shining bright. At the age of seven, on a cold Friday night in Brooklyn; my mom, cousin, and I started watching some scary movies since it was around Halloween. There was this movie called “Child’s Play” and as a child, I didn’t like the movie at all due to the fact that there was an ugly doll that was moving and killing people. During, that weekend it was showing marathons all weekend long since it was the Halloween weekend. The bed was pulled out with all the warm blankets and snacks besides us waiting for the move to start.
My bedroom was all the way up in the attic on the second story of our house, well so was everyone else's. My bedroom had gorgeous baby pink walls and a humongous queen size bed with beautiful white sheets and pillows, my window had like a built-in bench. While I was in my room, it was about 9:30 p.m. I was reading my favorite horror book, ''Stephan King's IT''. While I was reading I kept hearing stuff downstairs but I just brushed it off. The next day me and my dad were outside playing in the muddy creek water. While, my dad was inside grabbing lunch I heard a horrifying screech. Being the curious 12-year-old, I am I decided to go and Investigate the horrible screech. As I was walking in the woods, I came across a horribly burned car, the cars rusted fame was all that was left. All of a
On November 23, 1998 at 2:57 PM at the Louisville medical center I was born. I was the best anniversary present they could ask for. They thought I was going to be a boy, Jackson Reid, up until the point Dr. Collins said it's a girl! I was exactly 8 pounds 0 ounces and was 20.5 inches, I had blue eyes and dark hair. Every single thing that had our last name on it in the hospital room was spelled wrong.
I was born on December 27, 2003 in Dubuque Iowa at Mercy Hostable at 10:07pm. My mom always like the named Josie so she named me Josie. I had no siblings it was just me my Mom (Julie) and my Dad (Dan.) Two days after I was born my cousin Clair was born two days later but she lived in California. Since they lived in California we flew out to see her. My mom always said I wasn’t a happy child and I'd always cry. I started walking around 9 months. As I got older I started to get poddy trained. Then when I was three I went to day care at Trinity Square. After going there for awhile they had to take down the school so they could make the parking lot to the church bigger. Since they knock down the school we had to find another day care for my brother because I started kindergarten.
I was born on August 29, 1994 in Pleasanton, California. Pleasanton is a city near San Francisco. My mom separated from my birth father while she was pregnant with me and had a difficult pregnancy. I was born six weeks premature and spent five days in the neo-natal intensive care unit. I was released from the hospital when I was one week old. My brother, Justin, is eighteen
I wasn’t supposed to be born. My mother had three miscarriages before she had me. I was her last hope at having a son, the one thing that my father wanted more than anything. I am the only one left to carry on the Parker Family name. Yet I hardly made it to the age of 16 alive.
Up until March 5th of 2009, I had been an only child. Many big changes occurred in my life the year prior to the birth of my new brother. My mom became remarried, we moved to a bigger house down the same street, and there was talk of a new baby in the future. The remarriage was a small celebration held at a quaint location on a chilly fall night, a night you would rather be snuggled up on the couch with warm, fuzzy blankets drinking from a mug of hot cocoa. The move was a breeze, as I can just about see the old house through the tall maple trees from the new. I carried whatever I could back and forth, running quickly back down the street to grab more. The excitement of a new house chasing me to and from. Lastly, the talk of a sibling. I wasn’t sure what to think. The thought of a sister excited me, but a brother not so much. I wanted to share my dolls and dress up, not have to play with mud and trucks. Despite my wants, I had a feeling it was going to be a boy. The day of the ultrasound, I made a bet with my step-dad the baby would be a boy. After, I was a dollar richer and a sister of a brother to be. Having to wait a few more months to meet the little guy would be torture, as the anticipation was killing me slowly. I may not have been ready for the changes made and the ones to come, but I took them like a champ.
I remember being woken up by my dad who was calling my name and telling me he had to take my mother to the hospital. He also made sure to tell me that my aunt had come to watch my brothers and I until they got back from the hospital. I left the warmth of my bed to go out into the hallway stepping on the cold wooden floor with my bare feet. From the dark unlit hallway I could see the flickering glow of the TV. Out of curiosity I immediately went to go see what my aunt was watching. When I got into the living room I saw her flipping through the channels until she suddenly came to a stop. A smile came across my aunt’s face as soon as she saw the movie title. She asked me if I wanted to watch the movie Chucky and I said yes. Although at the time I had no idea what the movie was about but if I did I would have never agreed to watch the movie.
My heart is beating rapidly. I am filled with trepidation. Can I perform? Will I remember my routines? Will I stick the landing? Will I keep my legs straight? What if I fall off the beam? What if I disappoint my coaches? What if I’m not the best? What if…?
It was on a Friday morning at 4:30 A.M. that happiness and joy filled the hearts of both my parents. I was born on November 29, 1996 at Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale Florida. My parents had five children, and among the five children that they had, I was the third (or middle) child from them. It started off as two boys, then I came along as the first girl, after it was another boy, then finally, another baby girl; so total was three boys and two girls. The way that my parents lived and treated each other was the same as if any other married couple that loved each other so much. They’ve gone through a lot to get to where they are now today, but they made it and along the way had us five children. They have been really strong with each other which made them only have the five of us and no other step children. My mom is a great cook and enjoy cooking for us; this is probably where my passion for culinary comes from. My dad is an amazing tailor, he is very good at making our clothes, and my passion for fashion probably came from him. My dad is also a teacher, one of the best math teacher I know, he is passionate about his job and his family is the center of his universe. I cannot finish this chapter without mentioning my grandmother, I was lucky enough to have ever met. I had spent part of my life time with her, like the rest of the family she is sweet, my grandmother Abelus,
