Never in my outright life would I have fathomed life to have thrown me a curve ball like the one pitched at me in August of 2012. The person I once knew‚ Tammy‚ had gone missing until she found herself. The transition to a puny town from an immense city completely changed who I was. Let’s start from the beginning. I had a vast amount of friends‚ majority of my school knew me‚ being accepted into AVID‚ people knew my religious personality‚ and accepted my disposition‚ and I had a sense of belonging

Life‚ This is a marvelous topic. The moment I read the prompt I started thinking "what single event of my life defines me?". Perhaps my parents divorce‚ my first painting or the death of my first dog. But after reflecting for a while I came to a‚ in my opinion‚ reasonable conclusion. Life is a series of moments. A simple episode can not define a person’s life. A person is a person‚ made of experiences‚ feelings‚ ideas‚ and so much more that I am yet unable to describe. Life is not defined by where

has their story‚ and anyone can be moved by that person’s story. I feel like my story is not really a sad one‚ but a revealing one. Before the age of 13‚ anyone who knew me would say that I am not the same person they saw waking up and going to school‚ not following the rules and thinking I was too cool for anything. In my head‚ I ruled my own little world‚ but in the real world‚ I was nothing but a victim of bullying. Life isn’t easy for anyone‚ I ‚ in particular‚ was genuinely scared a lot of the

years old so I only was able to enjoy my pre baby body for a few short years‚ before I had my son I was always thin and never had to worry about exercising or what I was eating. I had no idea what healthy eating or exercise even was! After I had my son I had 3 more children and everything went downhill from there. I had gained over 50lbs and I was waiting for it to come off and it never did. I even went to the extreme to go on a resale site and sell all of my size 2 jeans because I told myself I was

1980 In the year 1980 there were events filled with excitement and celebration‚ as well as events that changed the world forever and ended in tragedy. In March of that year President Carter announced that the United States would not be participating in the Moscow Summer Olympics in a response against the Soviet Union. Later that year in May was a devastating time for the people in Washington and surrounding areas‚ as Mount St. Helens erupted. This volcanic explosion later became to be known as

With tears running down my face in a sloppy manner I asked “Will I ever be able to have kids‚” a question no sixth grade girl should ever have to ask. When I was twelve I had a cyst that flipped my ovary around with its weight‚ the doctor said she may need to remove my entire ovary. Being a silly pre-teen at the time‚ with no formal sexual education class‚ I had no idea one ovary was all you needed. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis and the threat of infertility has been all too

In a state of "total war"‚ the major participants placed their entire economic‚ industrial‚ and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort‚ erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant events involving the mass death of civilians‚ including the holocaust and the only use of nuclear weapons‚ it resulted in 50 million to over 70 million fatalities. These deaths make the war the deadliest conflict in history. The years leading up

Throughout my life I have never really taken any chances and run away from them‚ rather than giving them a try. It was until my freshman year in high school when my attitude changed‚ from why even try to why not. Although I did not realize it at the time‚ basketball changed my life for the better. Through perseverance and hard work‚ I learned to not let fear or insecurity stop me from trying new things. Throughout my life I was never the athletic type and never tried to be due to my fear of failing

My parents made sure I had everything I needed‚ but they were also smart about not always giving me the things I wanted. They were teaching me and my siblings a good life lesson. By making

we volunteer for a certain amount of hours. I would usually volunteer with my troop to work on community gardens and other small tasks similar to that. I did not enjoy volunteering because I was too young. I was forced upon something that I did not want to do. I just wanted to have fun and did not understand the concept of community service. Now that I am done with Girl Scouts‚ I have moved on to a different stage of my life. I now know that volunteering is worth the time and effort. After years of
