My life as a child in California was a rough one and I remember it well despite being so young. My mother gave birth to me when she was 19 and my biological father died shortly after. I was raised primarily by my grandparents as my mother was incapable of caring for me. She turned her life around when she married but more problems arose further along in time. Quarrels between my parents became frequent‚ and they decided to move our family away from everything we had known to start anew elsewhere

They had a way of making the largest and most culturally rich cities seem as ethnically and socially uniform as my own town. Luckily‚ it fueled my introspection and creativity. I imagined countless scenarios with heroines that could look like me. Earning an undergraduate degree in Psychology reinforced my understanding of people’s

to this post‚ you are probably ready for some solutions. The internet is brimming with advice on what to do and not do. I know when my daughter was first diagnosed with ADHD‚ I was completely overwhelmed. Here I was with this diagnosis but no one bothered to give me an instruction manual. All I was told is that she would do better if I medicated her and sent on my way. I wasn’t given a list of things to try‚ people to contact for advice‚ or even much moral support.

“Run! You got this Hannah!”‚ shouted my dad. Hearing him cheer me on urged me to play tougher‚ run faster‚ kick the ball harder. I passed to one of my teammates‚ she scored‚ and the crowd went wild. I turned towards my dad and saw his smile explode across the field making me feel like the utmost adored person in the world. This was my junior year. It has been three months since my father abruptly died. I spent time with him on Sunday and he was gone on Monday. I felt desolate‚ heartbroken‚ and resentful

When I first stepped foot on SUNY Oneonta’s campus‚ I was extremely nervous and scared. My parents kept telling me‚ “College is supposed to be the best four years of your life.” However‚ at that point in time‚ I didn’t necessarily agree with them. I didn’t have a lot of friends in high school and wasn’t involved in a lot of extra curricular activities. So coming here was a big culture shock. I knew that I had to do whatever it took to get involved and make a name for myself. I couldn’t sit back and
