From a young age I knew I was different, I wasn’t like everyone else that lived near me. Being born and raised in a small predominately Italian influence town that was all I knew till my pre-teens. My nationality was something that has shaped me into who I am and what I believe in to this day. Once said by Irena Sendler: “People can be only divided into good or bad; their race, religion, nationality don 't matter.” In my eyes she couldn’t have said this any better because we need to not let race define who we are but only to mold us into the person we should be. My great great grandparents on my mother’s side were immigrants from Naples, Italy that settled in wonderful Westerly, Rhode Island where I resided the first 12 years of my life. From the language spoke to the food all I knew was my Italian heritage. Being raised by a single mother, she told me my dad was Egyptian but it wasn’t something I wasn’t exposed to daily so I had no …show more content…
This was something that didn’t sit too well with me because that means moving extremely far from my family as well as the friends I grew up with. I was in the 8th grade where I began my journey here and needless to say I was not happy with the schools as well as my peers in those schools. I went through four different middle schools until I found the one I wanted to be at because it was a culture shock for me and going to school with so many different races was a strange concept. Thinking about it now I laugh due to the fact I actually judged schools based on nationalities and not by education levels. It wasn’t till about sixteen that I released it didn’t matter who I went to school with, I was different and so was everyone else that’s what made it interesting. We all had different backgrounds and it made me expand my horizon from what I was to what everyone else was as
School, Education, Wisdom and My Life One day in class, I was asked what I "know about", and how what I "know about", relates to me today, in my life, as I am living it. Well, this is an account of whether or not I know anything at all. If I do know something, I'll make clear of how it is connected with me. If I come to the conclusion that I don't know anything at all, then I'll write about something else, if I know what I'm writing about. I shall base this narrative around me, starting from
What is stress really? Is it just a chemical imbalance we have when “not wanting to do something” for the first or last time or maybe even the hundredth time? Stress like how we feel when we are running late stuck in traffic behind all these hundred cars trying to go to the same place. How we feel when life happens and we get sick the day before we have to go back to school or work. What we get anxiety about because we didn't do something to our fullest effort because we were “stressed” and had no
Through taking this class I have learned how to not only manage my life better but my finances and decisions as well, helping me to structure my life around the things that really matter through understanding my own worldview. This class has caused me to do a lot of reflecting on my own life and seeing how it correlates to a Christian worldview, revealing that I need to dedicate more of my time and effort into building my relationship with God. I learned in this class that a worldview is comprised
You never know when something traumatic will happen to you like taking for a last breath, getting injured or slowly dying anything could happen in the blink of an eye. No one ever knows when something bad or good is about to happen to them. People fear a lot in life but i think the most thing people fear is death. No one want to think about it but it gives you a open eye on your life. Anyone one could die at any given moment no matter if your old or young. Sometimes that is the last thing on people
This is what I want to do to you, with you. I want you to know all my intentions, all my plans, for the rest of my life. I need you to know that I am very serious about us. There is no one in the entire existence of humanity will there be anything like you. Not even close to you. You are far too unique, no one can possibly compare to the person who you are. I want you to know matter how far apart I am from you I will always be here for you. Always. I know this for a fact I am in love. I have never
What gifts (tangible or in intangible) are still important to you? Life, it is great to be alive. The car that was given to me is important to me because it allows me to get where I need to go. What were the crucial decisions in your life? Really the only crucial decisions in my life were whether or not I was going to go to college and what am I going to do with my degree. How do you handle disappointment? I do not handle disappointment very well. I usually try and have low expectations so that
As a child, I would play the “dream” game with my friends. We would spot a nice car and claim it as ours, walk by a nice house and say “I will live in that type of house one day with my family”. I cannot tell a lie, to this day, I say that to myself. After all, who doesn’t long for financial stability and some of the strain of life’s stress it eases. All of these comforts are nice to desire but that it not what defines me. As a senior in college with less than two months to graduate, I have noticed
1) I have not had too many leaders in my life. I have only had one job for about a year so all the leaders in my life have been either family or teachers. First off the main leaders in my life have been my parents. I know that is what most people say but it is the truth in my situation. I have learned a lot from them about leadership. The main thing I learned from them is to always respect others and believe in yourself. This is key because if I do not respect others then nobody will respect myself
that I believe even the best of us struggle to answer. How does one explain something that changes not only by days or minutes but seconds? I have always been one to let people know exactly how I feel on certain matters but there are a thousand raging emotions behind this young girl’s skin. To start off I was born in CA Redding into a rundown town house but I didn't stay there long. My grandma came to remove me from this situation at nine months old when my mother had a mental break down & my dad
Everyone’s life is full of memories, looking back at the picture from childhood till today. There are so many things I can talk about there, but, there was one incidence that change my life forever. How can we can never look back to something good that happens in our life? We always remember that what bad thing happen to us or who broke our heart. So, here I am talking about what happen in my life and how did it heal. When the trust between two parties has been broken, the loyalty of the relationship
Throughout my life I have been open towards many people that I am close with. I have opened up with them about minor problems occurring in my life, but they do not know my darkest secrets that still are within myself. Although with all the hurt that has happened, I am fine because believing that loving those around you with the pain you hold makes life more valuable. Growing up in a Christian family, I have learned there are seven types of love in the world. They have made my experience in life rough
in your life that helped you in a big way and you could not do most things without them. People need allies in their lives because they help you make tough decisions and they become your friend, so you have someone to talk to. My ally is my dad, he loves to watch me play baseball. Our relationship is special because we love to make fun of each other and laugh, but when it is time for baseball we do not joke around. He is just as serious as I am when I play or when we talk about my play. My mom is
to one 's mind. All I thought as a little girl was what to play with next. Of course school was just an unimportant part of my life, something that just seemed mandatory without having a reason for it to be. Suddenly, school started getting harder and harder, so I started struggling. I realized that I had to do something about it ,but I didn’t Know what. Fourth grade came around and that 's when I moved to another school. Moving was more like a new beginning for me because I actually started paying
Affected by my family, my background, and everything around me, I was born in a family who is the first generation to get here. My grandmother, and my parents, along with some other relatives, moved here in search of better opportunities, like those from other countries for the same idea. They started out fresh but had a hard time to get started, when I was little, I assumed it had to be somewhat easy, but for people who do not know English it is like starting from scratch, but they did well, they’ve
has different beliefs no matter what religion. They can have the same religion and have different beliefs in their worldview. Some people are not as religious as others even if they follow the same religion. I am going to explain my beliefs by looking at God, creation, faith, purpose, and life. God is our loving Father who is looking over us. He is caring and created this world for a reason. We would not be here today if it weren’t for God. God is good and gives us what we deserve. It is important that
