Although I have no remembrance of my early years of life, I would say that I do know my roots pretty well; I was born in a Caribbean country named Dominican Republic on April 6, 1992, which makes me sixteen years old. I am the fourth child out of six, making me the youngest out of the three girls. The basic information only situates my position in life but does not define me. I am a simple young lady that follows a routine on a daily basis. I have done small but significant things in my previous years that have shaped who I am today.
The definition of a simple life for me is following a routine that does not include partying every week, going to the movies on the weekends or just spending time with friends. My life might not be as exciting to others as it is for me. I like being physically active, which is why I have built my life around afterschool activities such as softball and volleyball. Participating in sports is not the only thing that keeps me busy through my life, taking care of my little twin brothers is a responsibility I have included in my routine. Being a second mom two my little brothers and participating in sports are my two main priorities at this point in life. The way I spent my daily life does not sound captivating or thrilling but it has for sure played a major part of who I am.
No matter how many times my little brothers annoy me or make me go crazy at the end all that matters Is that I really love and care for them. I care so much that I have given up my teenage fun years just to take care of them. On a daily basis I help them with their homework and every Saturday and Sunday I nurture them which includes feeding, bathing and playing with them. At the same time that I am with them I have to keep up with ...

...utine that not only do I know by memory but I make sure to follow it correctly. Being organized for me is one of the most essential needs in my everyday life, without being organized and without a clear balance between my school work, my chores or my fun activities I would have not been able to keep up or maintain my routine. I would admit that I had to learn how to balance and organize myself the hard way, I used to oversleep and missed out on schoolwork my stress grew each day and my life was like a crumbled paper, I had so many worries on me. It was a good thing that I was able to balance out all of my responsibilities on time before it was too late.
Even though my life does not have much diversity basically it is just simple, it has had significant moments that have formed and shaped a responsible, organized, dependable young lady named Rafelina Pena.
I was born in the Dominican Republic, November 2, 1982. I lived and grew up in a countryside where everybody knew each other. My childhood years were full of wonderful experiences where I felt loved by my parents and my family. I went to school around 6 years old. I had to walk around 30 minutes to get there from my house. My father was a farmer who had to work long hours in order to sustain our big family. My mother was a housewife; she was in charge of taking care of us. I have five siblings, three boys and two girls. I remember that at that time we did not have many things in our house. We did not have electricity and also we did not have a service of water. I remembered that my father had to go to the river to get water for the necessities of the house. At that time my family was very poor, but my
If it were somehow possible to live a “simple life” why would you want to? Doesn't a life without detail sound dull and boring? Also there's no guarantee that living a “simple life” would result in a happy, fulfilling life. If you are dealing with stress and depression living simply may be counter productive. It simply avoids your problems rather than dealing with them.
I was born on March 29, 1790. I was born in a wealthy family with my fellow 7 siblings. We all received the highest education possible at the time. My mother died was I was only 7, resulting in me being close to my father. During my late teens and early adulthood, my father was the Governor of Virginia. At age 15, I entered the College of William and Mary and studied law like my father. I became a lawyer at age 19. When the war of 1812 formed, I was on United States of America’s side. I helped form a militia to fight Britain. In March of 1813, I married Letitia Christian. My wife did not care for my political side as she only visited Washington once and she mostly stayed in our family’s plantation. We had 8 children together (one who died as an infant).
My full name is Kylie Jo Jahn, born on January 10, 1997. I have brown hair, brown eyes and am short for being at the age of 18. I was born in the town of Dawson, MN, where I spent the first two years of my life. My parents and I then moved to Madison, MN where I have lived since. I have two sisters and one brother, all three are younger than me. Karissa, my sister, is 16 and my best friend. Kayla, my other sister, is 8 and has the biggest heart. My brother, Jordan, is 12 and looks out for me as if he were my older brother. Being the oldest of four children, I grew up helping my parents out with my younger siblings. My parents have instilled in me the importance of showing respect for authority figures, of listening, having responsibilities and time management, to name a few of the things that have helped shape me into the person that I am today. I feel incredibly
My name is Katelyn Sandoval, I was born in Dallas, TX. I am 21 years old, full-time student at Tarrant County College. I am the oldest of three sisters. I am also married to my husband Jose; we have two beautiful kids named Joshua he is a year and a half and Susana is 7 months. I love to spending time with my kids, they have changed completely my perspective of how I view the world. I grew up motivating myself, and no matter what I faced, I have educated myself to hustle through the issues, life can bring. I give thanks to God, that I have been successful in everything that I have accomplished thus far, and I have established more goals and dreams in my life, that I am determine to fulfill.
Now that you’ve had a glimpse into my crazy and complicated family, I hope you realize how much I love and care for each one of my siblings. We may not have everything figured out, but we know who to lean on when life turns troublesome. This is my family and these are my
For my whole life I have always loved organization. Not just the big day-to-day routine aspects, but also the little things. I always organize M&Ms by their color before I eat them, I always separate my food into their own places on my plate, and I always try to do everything in a specific order every time.
Walden author ,David Henry Thoreau, has a simple life philosophy and, quite ironically, it is to live a simple life. Thoreau displays his philosophical ideas in his memoir ,which he is most known for, Walden. Reading his memoir, we are exposed to his ideas on how one must regard life which is, rather than getting what one wants, but, to disregard what is irrelevant in our life and to move forward towards our aspirations. Personally, I share similar views due to my constant termination of anything in my life that will slow down or stop me from reaching my goals. Like Thoreau, I believe that being unbiased, having an optimistic outlook on life itself, and working towards meeting my goals, will lead me to living a successful and simple life.
“Directions to Rogers State University,” I yell countless times to Siri. Each time, she responses with “I didn’t quite catch that” or that she is searching for the definitions of “reverse aging Berkeley” or “Regis Vamos publicity.” Eventually, the mischievous ghost of Steve Jobs decides he has had fun with me, and allows Siri to give me directions. Siri, now setting up shop in my Maps app, gives me three routes to choose from. The three options consist of one that get you there quickest, one that doesn’t have tolls, and one that was tailored for sightseeing tortoises. All eventually leading to Rogers State University. Coincidentally, RSU is where I am right now writing this essay. In a somewhat sloppy transition, there are many things that have led me to this point in life and there were three specific life events that made me into the person I am today. In an effort to drive this metaphor home, there are specifically three routes you could take to understand who I am. Whether it be when I first watched a movie in theaters, when my family’s house burned down, or when my grandfather was in the hospital, there are many routes you can take to understand me.
My siblings are my heart; I could not imagine what life would be without them. However, other days I honestly wish they would disappear. My annoying little sisters always irritate me, pulling my hair and screaming at the top of their lungs in my room. My little brother continually try’s to prove his dominance, even though I am older than him, he feels that he is more qualified to run the house while our parents are gone. These are only some of the things my siblings do to get under my skin. As a brother, my role is to lead by example; my siblings look up to so it is essential that I do right. If my sibling acts inappropriately that not only reflects on my parents but for me as well. I am supposed to lead by example if there serving in an inappropriate manner I am obviously doing something wrong. Even if my siblings irritated me for the rest of my life, I would not care I want my carry that responsibility as an older brother. If that means getting annoyed every second, then so be it, these are the items that come with this
My father is a mathematics teacher and everyone presumed that I also have a bright mind like my father. But the truth was quite bitter. Even though I was brought up with all the facilities a child could get, still I was an average student. This was my parents’ deepest despondency. I was a student with good knowledge and memory, but my indolence always dragged me to average standard.
Everyone has a memorable unforgettable moment in their life time and will charish that momement as long as they live. I am one of those many with a memorable loving moment. I will never forget it and happy to share it with others. It has been one of many favorite moment in my life. That it even open my heart to be happy and always thankful.
Growing up with two older brothers taught me to be unselfish, patient, and respectful. Being the youngest of three, I learned I would not always get what I wanted. I would have to be patient and wait my turn for a lot of things, such as the telephone and bathroom. I was glad that I was able to grow up with siblings to teach me these lifelong lessons. All three of us had to be respectful of each other or we would risk getting in trouble with my parents.
times it felt like just another burden to add to my homework load, but as I look back I realize that
