Recommended: An essay on managing diabetes

My mother had invited her boss over for dinner one night. We prepared a special meal for him; I had no idea that he was diabetic. I was in charge of making dessert. Chocolate cake was my favorite. After learning that he was diabetic and needed shots for his blood sugar I decided that I would leave a section without icing just in case he was able to eat it. I then proceeded to make some sugar free jello with fresh fruit. After dinner was done and it was time for coffee and sweets we brought out what I had made. I noticed a tear in his eye when he realized what I had done. I was twelve years old when this happened. I knew from the look in his eye and the way my mother was acting that this wasn’t just a friendly dinner for them. My

    The one instance that really sticks out to me was a few years ago. It was an early winter day, and I was up early for some odd reason. It was just like any other day, I was eating a granola bar and watching the morning news. I was just sitting there on the couch, and then my mom walked in. I noticed that she was not quite herself as soon as she walked into the room. She was walking kind of funny and slurring her speech. I asked her if she was okay, and of course she said “yes, I am fine.” I continued to eat my granola bar and ponder the situation. She was still in the kitchen searching for something to eat, but she left with nothing. She returned back to her bed. I knew something was obviously wrong, but I didn’t know what to do. My mom hated when I asked her about her blood sugar, but I decided to ask anyway. I walked into

    My little brother was diagnosed with ADHD something that no one in my family understood. “ What in the world is ADHD?” my grandma asked. From then on we struggled to educate ourselves on mental disorders. Cultural misunderstanding would frequently get in the way of progress; my grandmother used to think that it wasn’t anything, that Satan was just infiltrating his brain making him act out and seem disobedient. We started to attend therapy sessions to help us cope with all that was going on at that time. The pressure that my mother was in at that time from college and work gave her no patience to deal with my brothers mental condition, so I had to step in. One night my mom had been helping him with his homework; she was yelling and was really frustrated at him for not understanding anything. There was screaming, crying, and arguing, so I came in, asked my mom to leave, and calmly with patience helped him. I had to find a different way to teach him because he learned differently. I have always been a bridge between them. I tried to understand and help him, I boosted his self esteem when my mother brought it down by calling him disobedient and bad. Until this day my mother jokes around by saying how I was a better parent than she could have ever hoped to

    My mother assured me that everything was going to be alright and that I needed to be brave and stay there for a few hours and make new friends. The first few hours were the roughest, 10 4 year olds all sitting in a circle and telling the class what their favorite color and snack was. It was almost my turn and all of the sudden I realized that someone else had the same favorite color as me… I was terrified because it was my first time being away from my mother and I didn’t want to disappoint her and not make friends.

    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.
