Personal Narrative: Jing-Mei-Woo's Epilogue
Jing-Mei-Woo’s Epilogue Three years have past since I found my sisters, and I still wish my mother could see how much, us being together has affected me. I have become a new person, I do not cower in fear about tomorrow or let anyone belittle me. I am strong, confident, successful, and it is all because of her. If it weren’t for my mom I probably wouldn’t be married to my wonderful husband of 5 years.
Believe it or not but we met working on Waverly’s firms brochures. So if it were not for Waverly’s pickiness and my mother's lesson on “best quality” I probably wouldn’t have met Joe, and we wouldn’t be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Of course, Waverly takes pride in the fact “She brought us together” I laughed out loud

    A Pair of Tickets by Amy Tan in a different Point of View

    “How could I resist?” she later said about that day. It was when everyone was fleeing when the Japanese were taking over Kweilin, and we were left on the side of the road. Mei Ching, and her husband were poor at the time, but they still picked us up off of the side of the road. Although, there was writing on the back of the photo, Mei Ching and Mei Han could not read. By the time someone was able to read the note to them, they had already grown to love us. Instead of taking us to the address on the back of the photo, they took care of us. She told us that we were born into a great family, and that she was going to take us back to see our real mom and grandparents. She showed us the picture of our parents. My sister Chwun Hwa and I felt an immediate connection to our parents.…

    Court Appointed Special Advocates(CASA)

    Growing up I never understood why my sister and I were so different, at least in my dad’s eyes. The most painful thing was I knew that he loved my sister more than me. When I was bad I got a beating; when my sister was bad, I still got a beating. My mom would always be there to save me even though she knew it would cause a huge fight with my dad. Fortunately my mom was a smart woman and she divorced my dad.…

    Themes: The Short Story Of Jin Wang

    I noticed how the three alternating stories all had separate themes that helped bring the stories together at the end of the novel. The idea of the first tale is about the monkey king who’s a hero of Chinese folk tales. The theme of the second story is about Jin Wang, an Asian American boy who tries to fit in at an all-white school. The subject of the third story is about chin-kee, an embodiment of all negative Chinese stereotypes.…

    Personal Narrative: Wu's Family

    The Wu’s family first immigrated to the United States in 1974 and chose New York City as the port of entry. My grandpa is a stern and strict guy who at first sight may give off the impression as a nonchalant guy, yet under that stern look is his passion for entrepreneurship. Our family was penniless, and we had to live in someone else basement in New York, which was about 300 square feet with my grandparents, my dad, and his four siblings. If you ever moved your entire family to another country, you will see how devastating it can pose on your family’s financial situation. We borrowed money from friends, relatives, and local gangs at high interests rates. Yes, we do not have the credit to borrow through the traditional means from banks or mortgage…

    Mary Ellen Mccormack: Prevention Of Cruelty To Children

    She traveled to a nearby island, where she met my aunty. My aunty took her in and treated her like her own child and gave her all that she never thought she would ever receive. I asked her “what is one thing you would change if you could go back”, she simply said “I wouldn’t change a thing. I would never have met my mom now and learn the best lessons if it wasn’t for what I went through”.…

    Personal Narrative: The Princess Bride

    Growing up I had my fair share of princess movies and of course the Princess Bride. We used to watch it all the time at my babysitters and it easily became one of my favorite movies. The characters were so interesting to my 8 year old self. They were all so brave and beautiful that I never knew what was going to happen next even if it was the third time I had watched it that day. But as I grew up, just as much of other things I grew out of, I saw the the Princess Bride for what it truly is. The characters weren’t so much brave and beautiful, I could soon predict everything that was coming up and not because I had seen it so much but it was just obvious. Sadly, now I hate the movie for all its worth.…

    Creative Writing-Belonging

    Day by day, I used to stay by her side. She would disconnect the ‘tubes’ from her machine to give me just enough room to stay on the bed with her. Until that day after my 6th birthday that I wasn’t able to wake her up no matter how hard I tried…. Everyone around me except my father was crying, and was convincing me that my mother’s in a better place and is looking down at us now. Of course, I didn’t really have a clue on what was going on, my mother was a beautiful, beautiful woman. My life would be so much different if I get to grow up beside her. My grades might’ve been better if she at least had a chance to help me out with my school works or perhaps if my father only pays attention to me as a child as much a he…

    Who Has Made an Impact on My Life and Why This Person Is Important to Me.

    My mother has had a huge impact on my life and it is because of her that I am the person I am today and today where I am. Most people say I am a lot like my mother, both physically and mentally. We both have the same mannerism, facial expressions, and thought processes. We love to learn and travel, eat exotic and luxuries food, spend time with family, and we both have an incredible urge for knowledge. From observing my mother's behavior and listening to her lectures, she has had a great influence on my life, choices, and personality.…

    Gratitude: Family and Mom

    The struggles that my mother faced during this past year were ones that she could not face alone. Being her daughter, I knew I immediately had to step up to the plate and help her be strong through those rough times. This past year, my parents went through a separation. It was the hardest thing that I have had to face in my life, so I can only imagine how it was for my mom. To help her stay strong while I was away at school was probably the hardest part of it all. But even with the distance, my relationship with her was growing stronger. I would not have been able to get through these issues without her reassurance of everything being alright. I truly know that she would have not been able to get through the separation without me by her side every step of the way. So with each other, we both helped the other to stay strong and focused to get through this rough patch of our lives.…

    Feminist Autobiography

    I have never looked up to, nor have I had to deal with, anyone more in my life than my sister. Growing up, we spent a lot of time together. From the moment I was born pretty much I was attached at her hip whether she wanted me there or not - I played with games and toys with her; I looked up to her; I respected her; she taught me next to everything about the world that I knew back when I was a kid, before I started school and growing up more on my own. Once I got to the point of having the ability to actually find myself and craft an identity, she had also been going through such a stage, a bit farther along than I was due to her being older. She was my guiding force in the building of my identity.…

    The Person Who Has Influenced Me

    I am sure that I can attribute some of the positive aspects of my life to my older sister Mireya. I was living in Mexico at my mother’s house with the whole family except my dad. They got split and my dad came to United States to live. Then were all responsibilities for my oldest sister and my mom. My sister Mireya had a very clear mind of what she wanted in life at a very early age. Being the oldest sister of seven and with an absence of our father, taking the control was not an easy task. I admire her hard work starting from the age of sixteen; she was an Accounting student which is very demanding. She had to work at a full time job while going to school. And she had to look over myself and my younger brothers. I really can see that my sister Mireya was a big influence in my life, and I appreciate her much more now that I am an adult. Inner harmony, spirituality and faith, for my family are the resolution of the “meaning of life”. I remember that every Sunday morning, I would get ready to go with her to church. When it came to determine what is what is important in the big picture, relationships with brothers and my mother, became the most important thing for my older sister. “When you are listening you are day dreaming”, that is what my oldest sister used to tell me. With the absence of my father, my sister had to take his role, and spent much of the time scolding and disciplining us; because of this we resented her. Discipline was her main task as the oldest sister. I remember that she left us a list of chores to take care of on Saturday morning, and then after she came back from work, she wanted everything done that she had asked us to do. She was very stricter with all of us punishing and hitting us with a belt. But I am going to remember all of her teaching and good example with all my love, because I know that she did it with all her…
