...e the money to pay for my lesson and attire, so they pulled me out of the activity. I was angry at her for that and assumed she didn’t understand how it felt to have something that you love be taken away from you, when in fact she knew all to well. I found out so much about my mother and came to accept that even though she did not do all the right things with raising me, or the things I thought she should have done she did her best and I grew up to be a very respectful, intelligent young lady.
Family nutritionist Pamela Mahon recommends at least 64 ounces of water and fresh juices each day to hydrate your brain, help de-toxify your body through sweat and clean urine, and aid in digestion. “Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus, concentrate, and be more alert,” she says, adding that fresh fruit and vegetable juices, soups and broths, and homemade smoothies are also good sources of hydration. She cautions against artificially sweetened beverages or too much citrus juice, because the latter may cause rashes or upset tummies in nursing
I don't remember when I moved to Tatum TX. for Kindergarten. My teacher , Mrs.Sweenie, was very sweet as well. We went out on the playground for the 2-4th graders and I was talking to my best friend ,Kaitlyn, and I picked a flower and wasn't paying attention and I started digging in what I thought was a dirt pile and I was looking at her ,talking and I felt a painful sting in 3 different places so I look down and there were ants all over my hands , moving up my arms. So I
According to the vignette, the appropriate diagnosis for Peter is antisocial personality disorder with borderline features. According to the DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), “antisocial personality disorder is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others” (324). For this disorder, one must have three of the given symptoms: failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors (repeated acts that could lead to arrest), deceitfulness (repeated lying, using aliases or conning others for personal pleasure or profit), impulsivity or failure to plan ahead, irritability and aggressiveness (repeated physical fights or assaults), reckless disregard for safety of self or others, consistent irresponsibility (failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations), and lack of remorse (being indifferent or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another) (324-325).
Therefore, I was very dependent on my family and friends. Anytime someone new tried to talk to me, I could always count on at least one of my sisters, to be standing right by my side, answering any question they threw at me. One of the things that scared me the most about public school was the number of hours I would be away from my family, after all, they were my interpreters and protectors. After the first few weeks, when everything started to settle down, that’s when I realized “I can do this.” The whole communication and conversation was not as horrible as I imagined it to be. In fact, people were really quite pleasant to me, being the “new girl” and all. I started to make list, which may not seem to be a big deal, but it was a big step for me. Since, previously, I thought that list were just something mothers made for groceries, or the elderly made due their forgetfulness. I was wrong. I came to realize, that it was an independency thing, not an age or gender thing. They had so much responsibilities that they had to write them all down, in order to remember them
I decided to invite that man Linder over to say that after all we won’t be taking the house my mama bought for our family in Clybourne Park. If I’m being honest I think that my family is mad, well upset at me for my decisions lately, but I don’t care because I’m doing what’s best for my family. We heard a knock at the door, and I figured it must be him, and it was so of course we let the man in. He sat down and we were having a serious talk while mama and Beneatha were putting their opinions in the conversation. We were talking about how the best thing might be not to move in after all his reaction kind of set me over the edge because he looked to happy, while on the other hand my families were not. That was when I made the final decision which was to move into the house my mama bought, so I told him that we were taking the house, and that was it. My family was very happy, and so I told them let’s start packing, and the tension started to fade away.
“I know, and we both have dates. The first time we both have dates to homecoming.”
Even when my parent’s friends would come visit us during the weekends, I wouldn’t like to be acting ridiculous around them or interrupt their conversations. I would just go back to my room to not cause any disturbance because I didn’t want people to have an awful perspective of my behavior. She would describe me as of today as quiet, reserved and timid around others. I would often avoid trying to be open to people that I don’t know and very little do I interact with them. By the response she gave me, I wondered whether or not this behavior affected me in anyway as a person up until now for these characteristics I still portray.
By the end of summer she told me that I would be going to boarding school in England, I was sad about it because I was just 14 but my mother explained it to me in a way that this is the best for me. As I started school I knew that I would be separated and I was fine with it. But then I made a really good friend and she ended up being my best friend. She used to ask me constantly why I was in a different class. “You’re smart, you don’t need to go for special classes,” she said constantly. She encouraged me by saying all I had to do was really put my effort into it and I could be one of the smartest kids in class. Hearing this gave me confidence and slowly diminished the concept of me not being good enough. My mother used to tell me, “You’re so brilliant, no one can tell you anything else.” But I felt my mum had to say that because she was my mum and that’s what parents are supposed to say. Hearing it from a peer really inspired
I had my first best friend in fifth grade. Her name was Emily Miesner, we are still really good friends to this day. We became best friends because she put her number in my year book. I called her everyday in the summer to see if we could hangout but she was at the pool. But I called one day and she ended up being home. I came over and we ate pizza and hang out I ended up spending the night.

At first she said I’d be behind in everything because I’d go in the middle of the year, now she’s saying that she wants me to have a challenge in whatever school I go to and that the public school academics systems is too easy for me. So, it went from me not being smart enough to me being too smart for the public school system just because everyone I ask that goes to public school says it’s a piece of cake. The public school has way more clubs I can choose from, which my mom likes the idea of, but she doesn’t know who I’d befriend even though I already have friends that I could hang out with, who aren’t bad kids at all if you take my cousin and her friends out of
When I was in early in middle school I used to be a very bad and disrespectful kid, I drove out people from my life and did a lot of things that my parents were unhappy about, things I would
My ninth grade school was called Josefina Ferrero. It was a small, public school located in a suburban, middle class neighborhood. The neighborhood was quite, I remember that in one of backyard of the houses that were in front of the school there was a little store with chairs and tables and we all used to go and buy candy, ice, cheese dogs and thing like that and there was also a pharmacy in the neighborhood and me and my friend used
Later, I and my best friend Yonas we went to her home and he introduced me with her and we still are good friends. My childhood memories were the sweetest period of my life and I won’t forget my childhood memories based on those reasons that I mentioned before. The most important lessons that I learned since I was in elementary school was that how to shape my self focused in my education, respect everyone, reading different kind of books that might help me to look on my future career, and how can I be fulfilled my future dreams. And I have inspired by my mother Alem since I was in elementary school because she helped me a lot to focus on education, and she did more than enough for me and I’m thankful to have a mother like
