Treat others how you want others to treat you

Treat Others How You Would like To Be Treated When I was a little girl, I would go up the people in wheelchairs or people carrying items or people who looked weird to me and ask so many questions. “Why are you sitting there?”, “What’s that you’re carrying?”, “Are you going to make balloons?”, “What’s that on your face?”, “Why do you have two different colors on your face and arms?” One Saturday, Mom took me and my sisters to the park for my mom’s co-worker’s daughter’s birthday party. I really didn’t know the daughter that well; I had just seen her before. I had to introduce myself to everyone who was there. The birthday girl was having a good time, and I was sitting at the table looking at everyone and talking to my sisters about the other people. I went up to the girls’ grandparents and asked them “Why do you have two different colors on your face and arms?” and I kept going on and on. My mom is a social butterfly and was having a good time meeting everyone when she noticed I was talking to the grandparents. My mom also knew I was asking those questions because she knows me. Then my mother can up to me at the table and told me “Alyssa, you need to treat others how you would want others to treat you.” I didn’t understand what my mom meant, so I kept asking questions. Since I was a little girl I didn’t know right from wrong. Whatever was on mind, I would just say it out loud. Even if the people I talked about could hear me. Every time I asked questions, people would answer in a sad voice because they looked down and pause before they answer. I was also the little girl who would not go to time-out or say sorry to others. I was so mean to my sisters and family. One day, my family was having a party and I was playing tag inside the house. My older sister was chasing me and I ran into the wall and I broke a picture frame.so I ran to tell my parents and I told them that my older sister did

    The story started when one night I snuck out of my house to go to a party, as a result, that night I slept over at a friend’s house and found a ride home the next morning. When the car pulled into the driveway the morning after, I thanked the driver and walked up to my front porch with a sly smile to greet my obviously frustrated parents. As my mom ushered me to sit down on one of the chairs on our front porch, I know that nothing good is going to…

    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…

    When growing up with a big and spread out family, home life tends to be a little erratic. Since my mother was not the best of children, she had a few boyfriends in her time. She had my sister when she was six-teen, and my brother and I when she was around twenty. My biological father supported her until they both decided that they needed to go their separate ways, and she then married my step father. My family at the time consisted of my parents, my six-teen year old sister, my twin brother, and myself at age eleven. I had always thought of my family as pretty close to perfect until people started to talk. I first learned of this by my neighbor-friend’s mother, who whispered to her kid about why I had to leave every other weekend to visit my “other” father. I had never before thought of this as a strange idea, so I asked my sister about it. She told me our mother’s story. Once my mother learned of this, she was not upset with me for asking so many questions, and for that I’m glad. I learned more about my mother that day and I respected her for recognizing her past mistakes. Since she had, what I think to be, a pretty messed up life before; she corrected that and raised her children to be respectable people.…

    Today I found my LOC story at the pool. We had a bunch of things going on today such as master swim, swim lessons, lap swimming, and recreational swimming for the kids. I stopped by to talk with Pamela Harvey, one of our parents who consistently has her kids in swim lessons. I was happy to see her registered again for lessons. This time when I saw her, I asked why she registers and stays a member of the Y. It’s funny because she said exactly what I would want her to say. She explained that she loves the Y because it’s a good place for the family. It being Christian based was important to her. She even talked about why she likes our mission. This one thing stood out to me when she said, “everyone is friendly and I can tell they care about the…

    “Hello,” said a kind face to me as I entered my first eighth-grade class at a new school. “Hello,” I said back, not knowing how to take the gesture. I walked into a classroom full of new faces. Everyone was gawking at the new kid. I thought to myself, “is it what I’m wearing? Do I look weird? Should I say something?” I did nothing but go to my assigned seat, and sat quietly just like I did on the bus months prior. As I sat in silence, I listened intently as the teacher floated across the room while calling roll. When I heard my name called, I tried to muster up the courage to address myself in a casual way, but I’m sure that it came out as a nervous “here.” As she finished roll call, each student was handed a mountain of forms and papers. Then the class slowly transformed into a parade of shouts and laughter. Everyone was welcoming each other back, except for me. I sat there in silence examining everyone.…

    I am Mexican and Native American. My mother and father always told me to be myself and to listen to no one. How could I have been myself at the age of 7 when disrespectful people always told me things that I possibly would have not know? I was 10 years old and a girl in my class that was Native American bullied me because I didn’t know very much about the Native American culture, I didn't dress like her, speak like her, or look like her. On my mother side we are Mexicans…

    It is a typical day for me and my alarm just went off. I hop out of bed, go to the bathroom and then fix breakfast. Right afterwards I head over to my computer and go to my favorites tab. From here, I open multiple tabs all containing message boards to my favorite anime artists. Hours fly by as I sit there reading what everyone else had to say about a particular drawing, or how everyone had taken my post from last night. All throughout my surfing time I pop in a Hot Pocket or two; something quick with little mess. With the den a mess and my obsession still feeding, mom will be home soon. I know I should probably pick up after myself, but I think mom likes to clean. She does it every day. Instead of cleaning up, I decide to do a Google search looking for more fan sites. Now its five thirty and mom strolls in with her hands full of groceries. I acknowledge her with a simple greeting and then return to my screen. After putting the groceries up she walks into the den. With an irritated tone she simply says, “You couldn’t have picked up your food wrappers when you were done eating.” With a simple shrug and “I forgot,” I continue to surf through the pages. Moments later my mom comes back and sits down in the den, right behind me. I spin my chair around and she requests a moment to talk. The entire time we talked, the only thing I could hear was blah, blah, blah, until she ended her statement with, “Aren’t you ever going to grow up? You are doing the same things you were doing almost ten years ago in high school. You need higher education and a career. You can’t keep living like you’re fifteen.” I was speechless. Never had I stopped to think about what I was doing with myself, just kind of kept playing games. Where was I heading in life as a student, child, and citizen? I started looking for a job and wanted to apply for college, but I could not pull myself from my…

    “Juana are you almost ready” I heard my mom call from outside the bathroom door. I fell asleep in the shower again. I only had 35 minutes to get ready for my recital. To make things worse I had just got moved up to a more experienced class with 2 people instead of 5. Over the last year me and those girls had become really close even though I only saw them 3 times a week sometimes 2 but in that short time period we learned to trust each other and were happy for others success. In my new class there were 2 girls who had felt that same feeling for 5 years so they were actually best friends. They weren’t very happy with me joining in so they were really mean to me so I didn’t want to be there as much as I did before. I got ready…

    When I was younger, I typically received the things I wanted, things such as toys – being that I was an only child – and never worried about hearing the answer, “No”. I had this insane idea that the world revolved around me. Although I still had the concept in my head, that it was all about me when I was informed I would be an older sister, I knew that nothing would be the same. Before I was a sister, I never took anyone else into consideration, and I was never told to do otherwise. I was around four years old, when this news has changed my life forever.…

    I was labeled a female, and because of this there are certain behaviors that I must participate in to fit in with the social norms. My family and friends expect these social norms that consist of behaviors or rules that I must follow, and if I don’t follow them I will most certainly be frowned upon. Growing up, I was a typical happy child. My mother dressed me in frilly clothing and always bought me the newest Barbie doll. My house was conveniently located right next to a park, which I would always play in on sunny afternoons. One Saturday morning, I had decided that I wanted to play in the sand box. My grandmother who was also my neighbor took my hand and led me to the park, and once we were there sat down to socialize with the other adults. I sat down with my pink bucket and shovel…

    This week’s experience in the clinic motivated me to reflect on the young adolescent issues experiencing health problems. People tend not to think about these problems much because most of the young adolescents have a good health unless there is some pre-existing condition, systemic or inherited disease. The authors also reiterate that “Adolescence was often viewed as a relatively healthy time in person’s life” (293). It was unusual to see in the clinic thirteen year old with buckling knee problem, which could be more common problem of the older adult. The young physically active patient was treated from the knee weakness after his knee buckled during the soccer…

    After 10 minutes of arguing, I finally gave in and decided to go to school. Just as I thought, people made fun of me. As soon as I walked through the double doors, people literally snapped their necks turning over to see me, and almost everyone immediately started laughing. Some weren’t laughing, but pointing and whispering, as if I didn’t hear them. When I got home, I told my mom how my day went, and she didn’t even feel sympathy for me! “Do not worry about them, boy. They are just mean. Go upstairs and set your stuff down. People are coming over for dinner in twenty minutes.”, she told…
