The person who can drive me crazy
I always try to be nice with everyone. And that personality sometime brings me many problems. One of things that made me regret the most was accepted my classmate, Ivy, became my roommate. She might be a nice person when we just study in the same class and meet couple hours a day. But, everything was different when we live together. I recognized that she was not the one I thought anymore. She changed in negative way. And of course, I turned to hate her so much that living with her became my worst nightmare.
First of all, she made my kindness to become responsibility. In the first year of college, I studied aboard so my dear classmates became my roommates. I would like to cook for my roommates because they didn’t know cooking, and it might also save us some money. However, after months my compassion made Ivy think that cooking was my responsibility. It went bad when she started to complain about all of our outside meal; “You must prepared meal for us, that’s your duty, and you have enough free time to cook everyday”, she said. That make me feel like I was her servant who paid for that job. In consequence, I hate her from that time and everything turned out worse day by day.
One more thing that she pissed me off was her comments about my personal stuffs like shoes, bags, clothes, and also study schedule. Everyone have their own style in everything: eating, clothing, talking. But she just kept giving rude comments about my things. For example, I still remember one time when I had just bought new shoes with my friends. “How can you buy that ugly cloddish shoes like that?” she scorned as soon as she saw it. And not stopping there, she not only judged my things but also complained about my schedule. She always wanted to play the leader in our room and make everything by her direction only. Somehow, she acted like an elder and gave orders what I should and shouldn’t do. I felt like

    The main reason I returned to school is to be able to be the first in my immediate family to graduate from college. My mother raised my two sisters and me as a single parent with very limited resources. I barely ever saw her due to that fact that she had to work at two different jobs. She wasn’t the most affectionate mother but showed her love through actions rather than words. Very seldom did we have deep conversations but one conversation that stands out in my mind is when she said to me “Fernando, I am sorry I can’t provide the same things your friends have. I didn’t even have the opportunity to continue my education. I only went to school up to 6th grade because my mother forced me to work or I would have to leave the house. I want you to have a better future. That is why I brought you all to the…

    Sexism is the root of many evils. Sexism encourages women to take jobs that often do not make men question how powerful they are. Women who back down from challenges that men set are this powerful in a workplace are what drives sexism. When women decide to live up to the challenge they are faced with harassment, lower pay wages, and gendered discrimination. When men are this powerful in a workplace they take that power and exert it at home. This leads to the evil of domestic violence and even rape. Julia Alvarez addresses the couple of societal evils, sexism and domestic violence.…

    My mother, who stood 5 feet 7 inches, caramel-brown skin, round face with high cheekbones, and weighting about 157 pounds; was a single parent of three kids, two girls and one boy. She was very firm when it came to her children. She would not allow any grade in her house below a B-. She pushed my sister and me the hardest when it came to education. Her favorite saying was “You can’t sit around and depend on no one to take care of you; you need to get out there and get it yourself.” My mother dropped out of high school when she was pregnant with my sister. Sometimes I think she was harder on us because she did not graduate from high school and she realized how hard it was to have kids and not have at least a high school education.…

    She could be cruel, mean, raging, intimidating, but at the same time; she was caring, giving, and very intuitive. I found over time, after much thought, that I believed it was when she was feeling uncomfortable or trapped, that she would put her guard up and be ‘on the defensive’. It was during these times (or outburst) that I would feel trapped and definitely unsure about what I was witnessing around me. I started to notice a change in my demeanor as well. I was no longer feeling incapable and unsure, but uneasy and edgy. I was agitated by the situation, and at times feeling furious about her behavior, but yet I felt weak and helpless by virtue of not knowing how to stop her from making these scenes in public. I would get upset at the littlest things, which years ago I would have seen it…

    There's someone I know that acts kind, generous, and loving in front of people but when someone asks something from her, she's selfish, greedy, and stubborn. If you don't give her what she wants, she'll hold a grudge against you until she needs something from you. Another example from my life is, a person whom I know that acts her best towards me and will be nice and caring until I do one thing wrong, than she'll hate me, and she probably wouldn't have any concern if I were dead or alive. She wouldn't forgive me.…

    children while she was pressing the apples and taking care of things inside. Sarah refused and said “ I take care of children all the time and I am not doing this right now!” Not only did she have attitude but it really affected me and made me think why is someone who wants to be in child care for a career refusing to watch these kids for a couple minutes when she is not busy at all. In my head I said to my self I love these kids, so I played and watched them for their mom. When I left that day I knew what I needed to do, even though I know mom would be against me going to Cobleskill but I did it any way. I took it upon my self to go to the open house that she would not bring me to before college even started. I guess I did not fight for it…

    My younger sister Alba is in elementary school. Last year was the first year in which she had to actually study and take on more responsibilities in school. My parents didn’t speak English well, so I was the one to help her to study and do her homework. I like teaching; it’s something that I enjoy doing so I did not mind helping Alba with her schoolwork. Even if I had a test to study for, I still made room in my schedule to help her study for her tests. I felt that it was my duty as an older sister. However, when my older cousins would come over, Alba would ask them to help her with her schoolwork. I know my sister loves me, but I would still feel worthless and useless. By her going to other people for help, I would assume that my help was a thing of last resort. It is true that I cannot always be there for my sister. In a way it is wrong of me to have my sister accustomed to me helping her because next year I will be in college, miles and miles away. Then what? I cannot help her then. Sometimes, I cannot even help her now. There were days when I was overwhelmed with schoolwork that when Alba would ask me to help her study I would refuse to help. As I studied, I would hear my sister cry and I would feel terrible about myself. It made me feel unreliable. My role as a caretaker was not being fulfilled; the person I loved most was let down because I took her trust in me and abused it. Once more, I would put my own schoolwork down and help Alba with her schoolwork.…

    Back in High School, I had a best friend named Blen. We were very close. We were more like sisters. She used to tell me everything that happened in her life especially about her parents. I can say that her parents were very strict. The only person they need her to be with was just me. They used to tell her not to make a lot of friends. Even though Blen was a socializing person, she didn’t get a chance to make a lot of friends while she was in High School. She used to be really angry about those senseless rules of her Parents. All they want her to do was to study for her classes, do home works or stay home with them. I don’t get it…
