We never know what is lying ahead or what the next chapter of our story may be. At any moment, the course of our whole life can change. I had attended regular public schools my entire life, with a great group of friends. I always had fun participating in many different extracurricular activities and managed to get straight A's in the process. However, in 2012 halfway through my eighth grade year, my life did a complete 360 degree spin. I began to feel very sick and eventually could not go to school because of it. I started drifting away from my friends and my life revolved around me feeling ill. My parents took me to every doctor available to see if they could help but nobody was able to tell me why or what was causing me to feel this way. After missing lots of school days I was put onto a program called Home Hospital so that I could continue my studies to the best of my abilities. During this time I had now lost all contact with my old friends and spent all my time in my house. Every day was a struggle and it was so frustrating to feel so bad but have no explanation why this was happening to me or how I could get better. Over that summer I began to feel more like myself again and not so sick. I even was able to go to New York City and have a blast. I felt so good that by the first day of the new school year I was set up to attend El Dorado and get back into a normal schooling environment. Walking in the first day of freshmen year I was nervous to see all the people I had not spoken to in a long time but ultimately ended up having a great day. However, the next morning I woke up and felt terrible. My head ached, I felt nauseous and I was filled with anxiety. What was meant to be one sick day soon became anoth... ... middle of paper ... ... In my sophomore year, I continued at La Entrada and like before had my fair share of ups and downs. Fast forward to today and I am about to finish up the school year. I continue to feel tired and unmotivated but my outlook is a more positive one. I give credit to my family and friends for this change. They have supported and helped me so much throughout the past three years. By no means am I saying that my struggle with anxiety and depression is over. I still battle daily with how I feel but compared to where I started, I feel so much better. Through my experience I have learned that sometimes things happen and there is no explanation why or a magic miracle cure that can make you better, you just have to take it day by day and do the best you can. Like Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

    During week one of EDC131 we learned that the way in which we use language to communicate can vary depending on the context. We also learned that there are many different forms of communication this includes writing, talking, and signing/ gestures. In learning both of these communications it became clear that communication is more than just speaking and that we use language to express many different emotions. Things such as opinions, beliefs, wishes, threats, commands, promises, and many others are also expressed through language and can change meaning if context is changed. This will later be helpful with my education and future career. (Original)

    Two months into the year I was in a severe car accident in which I suffered from a serious concussion as well as a sprained neck. The scariest part about the incident was not actually the crash, it was the aftermath. I was completely alone when I was in the accident and I remember immediately not being able to hear out of my left ear, the side that hit the interior wall of the car during the impact. The collision was head on so my car had engine failure making it impossible to move. My airbags deployed and a thick powder mixed with smoke was released into the air. I couldn’t get out of my car, so I was trapped in the car while having an asthma attack because of the lack of oxygen. Never in my life have I been so scared and had no idea what to do in the situation.With this being my third concussion, I recovered very slowly. I missed over a month of school and during this period of time I was also missing the college process. At the time my mother was across the country on the west coast taking care of my beloved grandmother who was terminally ill from a longtime battle with cancer.

Because most of the parents will teach their babies how to use their limbs, such as climbing, sitting, walking and clapping; etc., and it has been indicated that the language obtainment timetable has the same basis as the naturally decisive growth of motor skills. This natural stage is connected closely to the maturing of the baby’s brain. If there are some common natural programs in language obtainment, it should be interacted with the social activities in their infancy. We could believe that the children have the natural abilities to deal with identifying some facets of parents’ speech at distinct periods of their childhood. These learning abilities necessitates the parents’ adequately steady to teach their children from the foundations of patterns in the different language.

But the year I remember most clearly and significantly is my senior year of high school, where I finally began to appreciate what this institution offered to any student who stopped to look. Before, school had been a chore, many times I simply did not feel motivated toward a subject enough to do the homework well, and seeing the same familiar faces around ever since I was 5 years old grew very tiring soon enough. But I began to see things from a different angle once I became a senior.
