Today I will tell you about 3 different things that I’ve had to adapt to in my life. An adaptation is something that helps you get used to things. I’ve had to adapt to multiple things and these are just 3 of them. I’d like to tell you more ‚ but I don’t have the time. One thing that I’ve had to adapt to is switching between houses since my parents are divorced. At first it was really annoying since I didn’t have all the things that I needed since some of my stuff went to one house then the rest

Being Ethiopian is a huge part of who I am‚ but at one point in my life it seemed like that was the one thing I wanted no one to know about. I attended a private grade school here in Washington. Going to a dominantly white school ultimately meant that I was a minority. At the age of 10‚ I started to realize that my life was not the

I was born in Vietnam‚ a small country beneath China. I live my whole life in Hochiminh city; and in my 18 years of living‚ I hardly travelled out of the city with anyone else but my family. Hochiminh was populated with nearly 9 million people flooded in a metropolitan city of only 809.12 square miles. The traffic is terrible. The air is polluted. And I had always dream of leaving it. Why am I using a past perfect tense instead of a present perfect? Because now that I am far away from Vietnam

If I could have one ’do-over’ in life‚ my do over would be High School. It would be High School‚ because knowing what I know now‚ I would’ve been a lot more involved in school. I would have joined more clubs and organizations. I would have cared more about my activities. Now‚ applying for college and scholarships‚ I have nothing to show for it. I only really did one organization in high school. If I could have a do over‚ I would redo my high school career and hopefully have a more impressive resume

Life is full of risks. And not all risks are predictable. The first and the biggest crisis in my life happened a few days after the fifteenth birthday. I was diagnosed with a kind of cancer and took a year off from middle school to have chemotherapy after surgery.

However‚ I had a lot of different thoughts running through my mind.

The Sculptor of Life After reading "The Open Boat" and reflecting back on my life‚ I realized that I am who I am mostly because of the environment I grew up in. Right when I was able to run and jump‚ I followed my older brother everywhere he went‚ most of the time unwanted. However‚ the time I spent with my brother and his friends truly molded my character into part of who I am today. Fishing‚ playing hockey‚ and just "chilling" with these older people‚ I think‚ enabled me to mature much faster

My life philosophy has always been to impact the world and help people. Growing up in Haiti where more than half of the population live in extreme poverty and two out of three Haitians lives on less than US$2 per day according to the world food programme‚ I quickly realized how the people around me and my friends didn’t have the opportunity that I had in order to reach their potential and achieve their dream. Attending school‚ having a meal where many of the opportunities that many people were deprived

bit my whole life. My husband makes me confidant. It’s easier now. Until I moved in with his Mormon parents. I’m not going to lie I really just wanted them want them to like me. I am not Mormon I’m not religious at all actually. I am agnostic so I don’t think entirely that the Mormon religion is wrong. I just don’t know. My whole life for some reason I just thought that all people were the same in the way of not not liking people or judging them until you know them no matter there life style. At least

ago today I was going to watching Kurt referee his very first high school basketball game. I was so excited and so proud of him. I had no clue three years ago how much reffing would become a part of our life. Reffing is life in our household. Honestly‚ reffing takes up about 9 months of our life. From November-March is basketball season. May-July are camps where he is away on the weekends. October is when he has all the clinics and scrimmages. Basically he is off April‚ August and September.
