Life is full of surprises and difficulties. A twist of fate can make your life miserable or blooming as the spring flower. When my brother and I used to live in Ecuador, everything was so amazing. We always used to be so close to each other. Our relationship as brothers was unique and wonderful. I remember we used to go play soccer together every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We were actually the best soccer players that you can find. But my mom always used to get mad of us for spending too much time playing soccer. Sometimes she would look for us with a piece of wood or belt in her hand to bring us home because we usually disobey her. She used to punish us for not doing our chores because we were so busy playing soccer. I guess we deserve it. But even if mom used to punish us for not doing our chores or for spending too much time playing soccer, we always managed somehow to escape for a little while and go play soccer again. In 1999, everything changed when my parents decide to come to the United States. Everybody in the family had to start working, except me, because I was the young one in the family. I had to continue with my education alone without any of my brothers by my side. They decided to go to school only to learn English and start working. Our relationship started to change from there. We didn’t even have time to spend together like we used too. I would go to High School early every morning and my brothers would work during the night time. When I would get up early to go to school, my brothers would be asleep. By the time I arrive at home there was nobody at home. Our life’s was so busy and horrible. I didn’t enjoy the much living our life’s this way. Things were getting worse and worse. My brother and I didn’t talk or play anymore like we used too. I had made new friend at school and I was hanging out with them. I also knew my brothers had their own friends as well. So the only time I saw

    Limited Brands, Inc., like many other companies, saw a downturn in profits and revenues during the economic slowdown. Limited Brands owns companies such as Victoria’s Secret, The Limited, Bath and Body Works and others. Chairperson and CEO Leslie Wexner did not fear the economic crisis, she did not focus on things that were out of her control, but instead, focused on getting even closer to the customer. Wexner (2010) stated, “we had to be frugal with resources, time and money…we streamlined the business, stayed lean and quick and concentrated all our efforts on the few things that produce the biggest returns.” While there was a decline between 2009 and 2010, Wexner’s efforts paid off, as Limited Brands has seen an increase in profit margin during the 2010 year.…

    Has the question, “ What do other people think of me?” ever crossed your mind before? It has crossed my mind before, which has led me to many questions. In this day and age people know how to handle a computer, I’d like to say I know more than your average bear. Many things are possible with a computer, like watching videos or listening to live streams. Every week or so a group of my friends speak about random topics, this particular week the gang decided to speak about religion. A topic I consider slightly taboo to discuss in large groups, a day I will never forget.…

    One would think that purchasing your first home would be a very fascinating experience; after all it is one of the most major purchases of your entire life. In America, home ownership ties in with the American Dream and the spirit of working hard to one day earn through hard work a home with a white picket fence. My husband and I felt that it was time for us to reward ourselves for all the hard work we have been putting in over the years by purchasing our first home, which was well overdue. I quickly learned the process of purchasing your first home can be very frustrating and stressful. However, if you survive the home buying process the reward is priceless once you move into your “American Dream.”…

    Most people rely on the security and care of others to provide for their loved ones when they put them in a nursing home. What they don’t realize is how much neglect goes on to the people they care most about. Residents are at risk of being abused by their caretakers but they are also at risk of being restrained, which may lead to a form of abuse. At Southwestern Nursing Home I have witnessed forms of neglect and abuse. Nursing homes are meant to be a place for security for the elderly to be cared for in their golden years, and it has become an unpleasant experience for senior citizens being subjected to acts of abuse and neglect.…

    After several months of going to school I was starting to understand my classmates and I was also able to have conversation with them. I started to enjoy going to school I even sigh up for after school programs. A year went by and my father bought our first house a few minutes away from where we were previously living at. This new house was huge, two floors five bed rooms and three full bath rooms. The house was nice and all but I felt like I had started from zero again. Since the new house was in a different district that meant that I would have to go to a new school. I was sad because I wouldn’t know anybody at the new school. Surprisingly within the first week of school I was getting along with most of the kids in class. As time went on I was now speaking good English and had lots of friends.

    It was the summer after my freshman year at Rosemary High School. That summer had mostly been spent with my dad, step mom, step brothers (Monte and Quez), and brother (Rashid); Long nights of games, jokes, and laughter. I was having the time of my life. I’d never been around them for long periods of time, usually spending most of my time with my mother and sister. My dad loved that I was around so much and that he could see his “jae boo” more than usual. In the past he often told me to consider living with him for a little while, but I never thought anything about it. I loved the area I was in, the school I attended, and the friends I made in my area. My dad lived on the other side of town, it was an inconvenience.…
