...Why?

I mentally tapped my fingers on the kitchen counter as I drink some water from the cup in my hand. I had just been through a long day of classes, and it was around two o'clock AM and I had gotten thirsty in the middle of the night. I haven't been able to sleep for some reason for the past few days acually, because of a lingering thought in my mind. It has been bugging me and I just can't sleep if it pops up in my brain, and it never happens intill I need to sleep. I just...Don't understand why it keeps seeping into my brain. It gets worse the more I think about it. Why do I think about things like this? I know it all sounds werid so far- and it is- and I haven't even told you yet. Wow, my sense of mind is totaly not normal. Well, I might as well tell you because it would make no sense to not, and you are probably on the edge of your seats right now, correct? Well, I have been thinking about what would happen if-

"What are you doing?"

"Oh my-!" I set my glass of water on the table and my hands flew up to my throught as I felt the water I just downed go down the wrong pipe. I quickly got myself

Oh, and I mean it. I was genetically modified by scientists who wanted to create the perfect person with every talent imaginable and I accepted because I loved this school so much. I look down at everyone because I am better then them and I tend to rub it in their faces sometimes without directly saying it."

He used to...But not anymore...As I have heard. I walked over to my bed and slipped under the covers as I tried to sleep while keeping the thought out of my mind. Little did I know that the rest of my life was about to dive into tragity, corruption,

    To make some conversation, my parents had asked Pablo how he was doing at school. While telling us about his classes, he started to talk about several accounts where his classmate’s “stupidity” was clearly visible. At this time, my brother Alejandro turned the conversation into a competition by saying that those stories were nothing compared to some of the things that his classmates did at his school. While my parents were trying to stop the competition, I was just eating my food quietly. When I finished my food and stood up to clear away my plate, I responded to both of my brothers. I said that “there will always be stupid people doing stupid things wherever you go. It doesn’t matter what age you are. It’s the way that the world works. Look, you two are doing it right now with this conversation.” I definitely got my point across and shut them up. My parents were so astonished that all they could do was stare at me. Once I was halfway up the stairs, my parents burst out laughing and called me back to the table. They asked me why I said that, and I responded that “it was true”. This just made them laugh harder. When I asked why they were laughing, they said that they had never seen this side of me, and that they had just realized that I was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Out of all the ways that I have heard people describe me, this is the only description that rings inside my head. I believe that it describes me…

    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…

    My family was concerned. I would say my friends were as well, although at the time I had none. My father called me a bum. The phrase “low-life” was thrown around quite a bit as well. He said that I was to not exist if my life was to continue on in it’s sub-par glory. The worst part of all was that glimmer in his eye. The glimmer that wished I would change, but deep down knew it should have no hope. Yet while I put…

    I walked on a thin layer of ice in high school; every time someone judged me, I could hear the ice slowly cracking under my feet. My life was in a fragile and brittle state during my junior year. I didn’t have the support of my parents, nor of my closest friends at this stage of my life. My own parents, teachers, and classmates had lost faith in me; to them it seemed as if I had ruined my life and that I would no longer succeed. On the contrary, I was determined to be successful because now I had someone special looking up at me as their role model.…

    I grew up in a family that rarely, if ever, complimented me for my achievements. It impacted my self-image, and shattered my confidence to the point where I felt uncomfortable being around or speaking in front of others. I strongly believed that I am the way I am. That my ability was limited; that I was not as special as others kids. My grades in school and college were always average, B’s and C’s. I had no favorite subject, much less one that I was good at. I did have desire to try new things, I signed up to be a cheerleader in high school but I did not make the team, so I reverted back to being afraid to try anything in which I might fail.…

    Three years ago, I came into a world full of dreams, but these dreams can take you down if you don’t pay good attention. I am the first born in my family. Before I came here, I was so afraid to come to a new country, which I didn’t know any thing about. I was somehow confused, and the biggest fear that I had was about adapting to a new culture. After some days of being at home, I was taken to school where I met so many student, teachers, and other nonteaching staff. Although I didn’t know anyone, all the people I met welcomed me, and I really appreciated the welcome. The school counselor called one of the students and told him to show me my classes. Then the boy took me to my new class, and when I entered, all eyes were on…

    I used to believe that the world was a dark place. First, my mom and dad had a huge fight on a Sunday morning before volleyball. Let’s just say: the cops were called and I didn’t see my mom for about a week. In time, when my parents made up, things were good for a little while. Little did I know, I was becoming sick. On January 30, 2013, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Again, the world became dark and the world kept dealing me some pretty bad cards. Hypothyroid, Celiac’s disease, bullies, etc. I thought that my entire life would be this terrible. I started to give up. I didn’t try in school, I didn’t even want to play volleyball anymore. My life was taking a turn for the…

    As I got older and got into high school, things got really ugly my freshman year. Hanging out with the wrong crowd changed my whole perspective on school and how I should apply my knowledge to school work. I can honestly say that my highest grade was probably a C out of the whole year. The beginning of my life changing didn’t take place till my sophomore year when I met my older cousin who decided to be hard on me in school. Part of that was him keeping me into football and other sports he thought I would be good in. It wasn’t till junior year in high school where I really took football…

    I was swarmed with homework from the multitude of AP classes I was taking. There were multiple days a week in which I would finish my homework as the sun was softly kissing the horizon of a new morning. All those sleep-deprived nights made me recall the days in which “momma sang [me] to sleep” (21 Pilots 10). I went from being tucked in by parents to being lulled to sleep by homework and studying. As I became dreary each night with the endless list of undertakings to complete, I could feel myself becoming more and more stressed out. The teachers, knowing me and my work ethic, expected me to accomplish the various assignments they threw my way. It was as if they thought there was “nothing else” going on in my life while it was quite the contrary; my life was consumed with the extenuating expectations of my parents, school, and community (Machado 2). In addition to the workload of school, I had the exasperating and terrifying task of applying to different colleges and universities. The endless essays and plentiful applications all contributed to my overwhelming flood of work. All these expectations pouring down on me abated my livelihood. I worked constantly to meet them. My parents expected me to do well on my academics and standardized tests so that I can get into an university with a great engineering program. When I told them the news of my denial from Georgia Tech, I could clearly see the…
