MY MOST MEMORABLE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE is spending time with my mom
MY MOST MEMORABLE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE is spending time with my mom. When she and I lived in DC, kindergarten through 2nd grade, she would take me to work with her every Tuesday, because that would be the day that her job brought bagels and donuts for everyone. My mom was a C.N.A., A certified nursing assistance, she would go to the patients house and help them with their every needs. I always loved the way she was so caring, for me and the patients. We would ride the bus and train everywhere because she had a fear of driving, even when someone else would drive. Every morning she would walk me across the street to my babysitters house just to go to work, to pay rent on the apartment that we lived in. It wasn’t the best place to live, it had mice and ants, but my mom never complained, at least not to me. I remember one time I was watching Elmo and it was an episode were Elmo was teaching kids how to ride a bike without training wheels, so I woke my mom up and asked her if she would teach me and she told me after it had stopped raining, but me being that kid that had to have what, I wanted when I wanted, I told her to teach me now. So she got up, got me on my bike that had only two wheels and taught me how to ride in the tiny kitchen we had.
In the summer of 2nd grade, I spent the entire summer with my 21 year older sister and her family. When summer was over, and school was about to start, I called my mom to see when I was going to come back home and she told me that it was best for me to stay here because growing up in DC wasn’t the best. I hated her decision, but I knew she was right. When I stared school here, I got straight D’s and F’s, because DC has a different education system. I was making A’s and B’s before I got here, but part of that was because I just wanted to be with my mom. By the 4th grade I was back on track making good grades again but then my family told me some news that changed my life FOREVER. They had told me that my mom was sick and that

    One of the best experiences I have experienced was my adoption. This day gave me a feeling of being part of a whole family instead of being the stepchild, not that my mother treated me like I was a stepchild. Not that it changed my day to day life, however, it changed how I looked at a number of things. My lawer and parents allowed me to pick they day I was adopted. As a result, I was adopted on Michigan's adoption day, which always takes…

    My adrenaline was rushing; my heart was beating fast as I was walking on the stage to perform at a violin recital. I was really excited and happy that got I to perform my best potential to play a musical instrument. However, at the end of the recital, my happiness and excitement were gone because most of the students either receive “The Best performance Award” or “The Most Improve Award,” but I got neither. My mother said those students were at least two years older than me, so they had more time to practice more than I did. I did not really understand what my mother meant until I read chapter one of the book, “Outliers” written by Malcom Gladwell.…

    I’ve lived in the same neighborhood for as long as I can remember. I’ve gone to school with the same peers. I’ve been blessed enough to not have dealt with much turmoil in my life. I live with my supporting mother who has always been around to drop everything she’s doing to come to my aid. With all this in mind, you could come to the conclusion that I have not had to deal with a lot of change in my life nor have I ever welcomed it. So in my sophomore year when I was invited to participate in a summer program which entailed me leaving home for six weeks, me nor my mother were excited about the opportunity. I did not know that the program, called the Emory Pipeline Collaborative Program, would completely change my outlook on life and my identity…

    At the age of six, my life took an unexpected turn when my parents migrated to the United States and I was forced to adapt to a new culture.

This drastic move taught me many lessons and allowed me to grow as a person.…

    My name is Cosme Ramos, Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico on the 31st January 1976. Parents are both Puerto Ricans (which in reality means mixed, Indian, Black African, and European). Not until third grade did we migrate to the United States, in search of opportunities and a more stable future. Being of a Hispanic decent made family a very important role, thus it was my primary group the only thing that was constant throughout or moves first from Puerto Rico to New York, and eventually to New Jersey where my immediate family still resides to this day. As a kid the change was drastic, life in Puerto Rico was more of the rural type, big yards, vegetation everywhere, smiling faces and friendly people. In the states, things were a bit different, now we co-inhabited with family we barely knew, in a small condo like apartment with no yard, and the only vegetation we would get to see is that on the highway mediums culture shock does not even begin explain the disorientation felt as a kid under those circumstances. Not to mention the language barrier that was by far the biggest hurdle. If it wasn’t for the strong bond and close knit Hispanic community the adjustments would have been ten times harder. Within months we were settled in Newark, N.J. parents had good luck found stable jobs enrolled in school now my biggest focus was that of going from a straight “A’s” student, to not even speaking the language. I had 6…

My mother had been told by many teachers that I would never pass the sixth grade, let alone go to college.…

While my little sister stayed with my grandparents, my mom and I flied out to Mexico. I still remember the feeling in my stomach the moment I stepped out of that airport.

    My parents didn’t believe me, they thought that I was just making things up so I could miss school. I ended up getting mono and missing a month and a half of school. I feel so far behind that it was hard to even catch up, when I did get back to school finally I was going in on off hours and staying after to catch up on my work. The only teacher who wanted to help me was my math teacher. When I did ask for help my teacher told me that I was “stupid” in front of the whole class. I was embarrassed and felt like that shy little girl again who was afraid of the world and to talk to people. These teachers made me feel like I was worthless and that I wouldn’t go anywhere in life. That’s when I knew that I had to leave, if I didn’t I knew I would always seen in my brother’s shadow and not in my own light.

I became someone who doesn’t let people walk all over her anymore and I became determined to prove everyone wrong about…

    “Everything will change…” was practically the only thing I could think of being a 13 year old girl with a firm friendship with her 16 year old sister. The summer of 2006 was when I discovered my mother was packing up her things and moving to Athens to work on her PhD in Psychology at the University of Georgia, while my 3 brothers, younger sister and I would be living at home with my dad. It did not bother me much at all when I found out my mom was moving for a temporary time to further her education, considering my parents are still married and she would only be living up there for two years. We would also get to visit her on the weekend, and she would also visit us on the weekends. Plus my mom and I do not get along well, so I figured I needed a break from her. On the other hand, I did care she was taking my big sister Amanda with her.…

    For 15 years I lived in Mexico, during the summer of my tenth grade, my parents took the decision to move to Texas. When we arrived in Texas it was the beginning of a storm. Supposedly, I was going to start eleventh grade, however, the school district I was part of did not think the same. Apparently I did not have the credits required and also they thought I was too young to be in that grade. Given that, they wanted me to repeat ninth grade as if that was even an option for me. Therefore, my options were: stay in Texas with my family and lose two years of high school, move to California or Mexico where I could be in 11th grade. Of course, I did not want to leave my family, but also I did not want to hurt my future, thus why I decided to move to California.…

    My best childhood memory is going to Six Flags. Me, Tommy, Anthony, and Connor are going to Six Flags. Their mom is taking us. I was very excited to go to Six Flags because it would be my first time going. When we finally got there. We parked the car and walked to the gates. When we got into the park. Connor wanted to ride the cyclone. Tommy and Anthony asked if I wanted to ride it. I said, “No.” but they pulled me into doing it. So, we waited in line. When we got to the front of the line. We got on the roller coaster and the ride started. When we started to go up I was nervous. When we got to the top, and as we were going down I couldn’t even hear myself scream. After the ride we rode rides around the park. Then, we went to the water park…
