Youssef Jordan Monologue
I suppose it's wrong to say that this all started with me. I didn't start this; my father is the reason for the terror everyone in my small-secluded town felt. But no one knows that, except me... and I don't know what I'm going to do. maybe I should explain. My name is Youssef Jordan. I am a very successful surgeon. People wait months, sometimes years to make sure I am the one to do their surgery. I have never failed, never killed one of my patients. I am an icon in the cruel world of medicine. I claim to owe most of my success to my teachers professors, and my parents, the ones who taught me everything. Before today, I never realized that I had to thank my father for so much of my success. Without his interference, I probably wouldn't have gotten into the best University in the country, learned from the best teachers in their fields, or even gotten out of Punchbowl, Sydney, home to many crimes and violence. Twenty years ago he made sure that I was number one, the best at what I do. Then he gave the area and my innocent mother the best reason in the …show more content…
When I was five, I called it a diary and teased him about it. Then again and again over the years. Last year, when I visited him on my 37th birthday, I remember him saying how it would one day show me that diaries were for the weak minded. I paid no mind to his words. I really wish I had asked him what he meant. Maybe then I would hve had some answers. Maybe I would know why he killed twelve innocent teenagers. No child thinks that one of her parents could ever kill. Children are pure-hearted like that. Always seeing the best in people. I know I never suspected my father to be capable of such an massacre. My father was the hero of my childhood. He held me up like no one else ever had or ever would. He encouraged my dreams and was always so sure I would accomplish them. I wonder now, if he had already made up his mind about 'helping'

    I remember too that he brought up about the peas that I had spilt on the floor and reprimanded me for “[leaving] the mess for someone else to pick up! I managed to tell him – through my tears -that I thought he was being mean and disrespectful to me. I could tell by his body language that this made him mad. He tried to turn it around on me, saying, “Yeah like the way you talk to me.”…

    Jordan's POV: When I woke up and saw the sunrise, I thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. And then I saw another man. It scared me; I thought I was alone; alone with my thoughts and the voice that spoke to me. It was a female voice; it was sweet and silky, like butterscotch. She was comforting me, and trying to get me to wake up.…

    Darius Jolting awake I sigh, I remember this day just as well as the last, the day she left me, our son and our house. This day begins just like any other, reminiscing about what life could have been like if she had not of left us. Why couldn’t she just push through the hardships, held on, and appreciated what she had! She was a natural beauty, and she didn’t even know it, ‘she made everything look so effortless. She had a mesmerising smile and the cutest little dimples, ‘every laugh made my spine shiver in delight.…

    Many people in my life have prepared me for my future and have taught me how to handle any obstacle thrown my way. My parents have inspired me to never settle for anything but the best, and have taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. Both of my parents came from families without a strong financial basis or a stronghold of people who believed that they could excel; moreover, this led my parents to becoming doctors and providing support in every aspect for my sister and I. My parents’ determination has led to my belief in the veracious message: nothing is going to be handed to you because you must work to make something happen. As I have gotten older and realize the little time I have left sheltered by my parents, this idea has prepared me for the real world due to the fact that I know not to take anything for granted, but to work for what I want to accomplish in life.…

    If it was not for my father then I would not have known my ability to have grit. I have become more motivated to become a better person. I feel confident in that I can prove my father wrong in that I am a smart individual and will be successful. His words are no longer going to have the power to bring me down. It became a habit to hear my father’s words, so I started to focus more on a positive mindset on how I was going to get through hard situations that were similar to this. I anticipate to go through racial discrimination throughout these four years, and I know that when it does happen my reaction will be calmer and mentally prepared for ignorant people because of what I have gone through with my father. I will overcome this obstacle by ignoring and reminding myself that it is people’s rude comments that are motivating me to attack them with my success. There will be times where in my journey to success I will come across people that will make me work twice as hard to get the education I need because I am from a low income family, first generation, and a…

    My father, a pharmaceutical representative, taught me to work hard at everything I do which has benefitted me throughout my academic career. If I ever hit a blockade and wanted to give up, he would always say, “You have to finish what you started.” During freshman year, I took Pre-AP Geometry which was a challenging course to me, and after my first test I thought I wasn’t going to pass the class. However, instead of giving up in the class and dropping out to an easier class, I worked harder and studied more. At the end of the year, I passed the class with an A. This work ethic has allowed me to succeed more than fail in life. My mother, a realtor, infused in me values and a curiosity of life. To refuse the easier explanation, and search for a deeper understanding. As a child, my parents constantly taught us lessons such as never leave dishes in the sink and always make your bed before you leave the house. These small lessons have impacted me and shaped me to be a responsible…
