What was your first experience in high school ? What thoughts were running through your head at the time? My head felt like it was going to pop off my body. Foremost‚ I grew up with parents who moved from the Dominican Republic and never had a college education. The time and dedication they take to do their jobs is incredible. There are times where I don’t get to see my father for weeks being he’s too focused on his job. On one occasion my father had to work for almost 48 hours straight due to a

My Experienced In Essex County College The first year of college for a young man or women can be a monumental step in their life. In my case it was. It was the first time that someone in my household went to a college in the United States‚ so the pressure was on. It felt like having the spotlight in a performance just waiting for your work to get judged by others. I was not necessarily scared to be judge by my family members‚ but I was a little worried about the transition from the skate free

The day after Thanksgiving on November 23‚ 2012 the Davidson’s decided to have a “Thanksday Dinner” where everyone brought leftovers from the day before and we sat around the table and talked. Ashton brought his video camera to document the experience; so he set it on top of the fireplace mantle of the club house we rented. That day just happened to be my birthday so trying to avoid the subject I helped set up chairs and tables and arrange the food in a way that would save the most room. After every

Early on in my life I learned that life is not easy and that there are bumps in the road that may throw you off track‚ just like Tess did. My family moved from Michigan back to Ohio in 2004. At first‚ things went smoothly and we were figuring things out. But after about 8 months‚ I wasn’t so naïve. I was walking to school with my older brother‚ who was in 7th grade at the time‚ and I was in 2nd grade. He was fruastrated because my parents had a fight. Being the curious 8 year old I was‚ I asked

*Knock knock knock knock* Mrs. Tina was banging on my front door. My mom answered the door and I knew it was bad. “Your daughter just called my boy the n word!’’ she shouted at my mom’s face. Instantly my mother defended me but Mrs. Tina wouldn’t accept it. I sat on the couch listening to their conversation. After a while my dad called for me‚ “Lexi! Come here please.” I scrambled over to the front door. My mom looked me in the eyes and asked me if I said that word. “No”‚ I innocently replied

was hard for me to swallow‚ and I don’t think she really cared because she kept coming in every 15 minutes to check. I think she finally got the message when I left my plate there with a good amount of food still on it. The nurses would also come in everyday at 2:00 and 4:00 in the morning to test my blood sugar. I did not get too much sleep while I was in the hospital for those three nights. The fourth day I was in the hospital was not as bad as the third. I was moved to a different room

The quarters still weren’t ready when we arrived so we spent a week in the American Arms Hotel. We had two rooms‚ and there were plenty of stores and restaurants in the area. And the Army was paying for most of the meals‚ so the transition was tolerable. The kids liked it‚ but it was small‚ and I was grateful it was only a week. We received the call our quarters were available for inspection. We were lucky to receive a four bedroom apartment on the first floor. There was a basement for storage

Sister‚ I know this was my choice‚ but that didn’t ease the waves of shock that crashed over me when our plane touched down in Chicago. Of course I knew that English would sound different when natives spoke it‚ that the land of the free wasn’t exempt from humanity’s self-destructive prejudices. I guess I just wasn’t anticipating the international flight attendant to pretend to misunderstand me ‚ or the thick Texas drawl to first teach me what “y’all” meant in the back of a Taxi cab. Those first few

I had never imagined that I would have to go through half of the things that I had gone through. Life had messed me up really bad. I never asked for anything. I just did what I was told because I was obeying the rules. I had always lived with my grandparents. They are like my parents since my real parents were never around when I was
