Things aren't always as they seem. My great great great uncle Gutlib, was born sixteen years before the American Civil War was at its height. Gutlib bravely went to fight for the Union. Soon after he went to fight, communication ceased between Gutlib and his family. During the war, the family was unsure whether Gutlib was alive, all they had keeping them going was the hope that he was okay. After the war ended, the family still hadn’t heard from him for weeks, possibly months, and he was presumed dead. His family mourned his death, shocked that he was killed in the war. They held a funeral in his honor and were completely devastated by their loss. The weeks passed and nothing changed. Then one day, while looking over the hill that the family house faced in Pennsylvania,…
It’s in our sick and dying bed that we are sadly given no other task but to evaluate all our years of living. The body no longer full of vigor nor fight, the heart heavy form sorrows past; the footsteps of death nocking at the door serve as an earnest call to evaluate and make peace with all we did in life. Suddenly, its time to review the many chronicles that compose our life story. As I look back on my life I am overwhelmed with grief. I grieve not for missed opportunities, God knows I seized every opportune moment. I grieve for the misjudgment of my ambitious endeavors, which will be forever erroneously highlighted and remain an eternal blemish upon my legacy.…
When my Jennie passed away at this point, I did not know what to do with my life. Obviously, Conrad went to therapy for his problem because his dad made him, his mom did not really care about him at all or at least that is what she acted like. On the other hand, my mom cared more than Conrad’s mother did. However, unlike Conrad’s mom, my dad did not go on any vacation when I was in the hospital. Then my trip to the hospital I was with my mother over that summer.…

On February 5th, 1992, I, Richard Joseph Gallot, was born at two fifteen in the morning, at St. Francis Medical Center. I am the son of Rick Gallot and Tammy Johnston and I am the only child. As an infant, I lived in Grambling, Louisiana, on one forty one Gallot drive. For about the next two years, my parents developed issues with each other. Then, at the age of two years old, my parents divorced. My father got custody of me and continued living in Grambling while my mother moved around the west coast. From age two until about age twelve, I have been traveling back and forth from Grambling to Dallas. It was hard for me to understand why both of my parents aren’t waking me up every morning together, like all my friends at school. As a child I…
On the 16 day of February in 1999, I was given the name Samuel Lloyd Jordan. This was a name my parents felt that one day would change the world or even see it in huge lights. A name that would live on even when i die for all the great thing I would eventually achieve. Although, they also knew that not one can raise a child, but a village. This is what they knew had to be done to raise me. In this i found a man by the name of Vincent Jones. He is about 5’10, Grey hair, nice smile, and well dressed man. He is an accountant at J.P. Morgan Bank in Rochester, NY where he lives as well. I gave him a nickname of “pops” because he truly stepped in for the place of my father. He has 3 other children Vincent Jr., Kandace, and Chris. He shares…

In the beginning of 2005, my family decided to move away from California. My dad was offered a job in Phoenix, Arizona for Casino Arizona’s Black Jack dealer. When I heard the news that we were moving, I was upset, angry, furious, vexed. We just started our lives here and my dad wanted to pack everything up and leave.

July 12, 2006 and April 7, 2009, were the two days that had sent me into a emotional state of mind that I will never forget. “We only realize how much someone means to us, when they are no longer with us.” -Ryan Garst. Growing up as a child, I was taught to be a leader and an example for my peers and the people that I’d soon be acquainted with. My parents had already taught me all of the necessary skills about being a leader. An example was to never be a follower, following a crowd of people could lead you down the wrong path in life. The same words were also said by two more people that really set it in stone for me: Mrs. Sanford (babysitter), and Cheryl Denise Burgess (grandmother).…
One day nearly two years ago, I came back from the worst trip and experience ever in my life. Three years ago, my family made the biggest decision of our lifetime together and we had decided to move. Now the fact that we were moving didn’t bother me or my little sister, it was just the simple fact that we were moving from our home that we had grown up in our entire life. The only problem was the fact that we had eventually found out that we were going to move to Oregon. This Alabama home that we grew up in was very special to me and my sister but it wasn’t the one of best of places. We had lived right beside our grandparents and we loved to go up the hill and see them and us moving had rendered that possibility from happening any longer.…
When I was born, my family started to struggle with bills and payments. So we had to make a hard choice and to move from California all the way to Cresco. And I haven’t seen my family since I was a baby which, I have no memory of them and I haven’t seen them since we moved. I use to always think of my family or be listening to a song that reminds me of them. Then soon or later I started to cry and ask my mom about my family. And they would say “It takes time”.…
The alarm sounds at five, forcing his fatigued eyes open. He wakes immediately, although, still groggy about his surroundings. Walking past his framed college degree, he gets ready for another day at work. His feet ache from the previous day as he rushes to open the store on time. Restocking the chips and soda cans, he breathes heavy due to the constant manual labor that is required of him. Although his day has just begun, it will not end for another ten hours. He finishes the tasks of the morning and gets behind the counter, awaiting the next customer. He is my father, and even with a college education, he owns and operates a small convenience store in a deteriorating mall.…
