My worst experience as a teenager was my parents’ divorce. As a new teenager I didn’t think that my worries would go any further than being rejected by my crush, Boy was I wrong. It wasn’t hard for me for traditional reasons. It was hard on me because as a teenager I couldn’t understand why my dad was hitting my mom or why she stayed. But when the separation and divorce were put in action. I found out exactly why. For years I was never able to grasp why we woke up at 3 am. Mom had backpacks for me and my mother. And we were running down the street like our life depended on it. Little did I know it did? My father was and still is a lunatic but as daddy’s little girl I never saw that side of him. We went to a battered women’s shelter. And soon reality started to hit me that my whole life was kind of a lie. When they divorced I wanted to mad at him. I wanted him to pay for what he did to my mother but I couldn’t. I …show more content…

She wasn’t as upbeat and friendly. She was so secretive about everything we did outside of the house. Like she would tell my father she was taking us to school and we’d just go to the park and run free. Then one day we were just getting home from school. As soon as we got in the door he knocked her to the ground and from there it just got worse. Unbeknownst to my brother and I grand ma had been then glue hold this horrible charade together.

    My mother was a very well-tempered woman, who kept to herself. Like Suzette, I didn’t know much about my mother’s background, or a lot of the pain and hardship she went through until I was older. This is when I realized why my mother conducted herself the way she did, because of all the pain she had built up inside of her from her past. For example; it was very hard to get my mother to talk during emotional situations, she was always quiet and would just mostly stare at you in silence. My mother was born in Philadelphia on October 3rd, 1966. Diane was the oldest of her four siblings, and if it’s as common as I think older siblings tend to have it harder than the others because they have to set examples, their looked up to as the protectors, and are just assigned a lot of responsibility at a young age.

    On August 4, 2011 we found put my grandmother had early onset dementia. There were so many signs that we had missed before she had been diagnosed. Like every family would, we looked up the effects of taking care of someone with Dementia. We became like experts when it came down to taking care of her and we eventually had to move in with her over a fear of her forgetting to turn off the stove or a curling iron.

She started to scream at me telling me how she wanted me out of the house and how she “did not like me very much”. In the heat of the moment, I received a phone call and for some reason she thought that I had called the cops. She followed me to my room where I had walked to get away from her and to take the call and smacked the phone out of my hand.

That behavior became a cycle for about five months and after that stage of the disease her doctor told us that she would have to be put on medication because the disease was progressing faster than it should have been.

    Throughout my high school experience, I've been able to obtain knowledge that I can use to better my life. Some of the classes I've taken have been a blessing in disguise. For example, I never expected to learn as much as I did about writing and literature by just simply reading. Many of my teachers have pushed me to my limits and inspired me to think differently from my peers. In general my best English experience was reading "MacBeth" by William Shakespeare in Mr. Elwell's class, where I also realized I had many English skills to improve on.

When I started my first year of high school, I knew I wasn't ready to maintain my academics, my social life, and my sports schedule all at once. I was completely intimidated by everything occurring in my life at the time.

    It is August 2012. I’m rocking back and forth in my recliner, smoking a cigarette. I’m alone in my apartment, surrounded by fast-food trash. Trash on the table, trash on the floor. Trash everywhere. In between drags of my cigarette, I try to suppress a gargling cough that is creeping out of my lungs and into my throat. I do not want to cough. I do not want to be sick again. But I know I am. It is bronchitis and it is my third bout of it this year. I know that I need to quit smoking temporarily in order to get over the bronchitis. Like most smokers, I am always trying to quit. I think to myself, if I have to quit for a few days anyway, knowing that the first few days are the hardest part; maybe I should use this opportunity to quit for good.

    For most of what I remember to be my middle school life, I tried my best not to become involved with any of the gossip and drama in the various networks of my class. Rarely did I ever engage in group conversations or even one-to-one conversations for that matter. In fact, any type and degree of social interaction seemed exhausting to me.
