Sitting in the freezing rain on a December afternoon wondering what I did so wrong to be thrown out of my house. I look into the puddle that was formed due to the accumulation of the rain.

While many children had a childhood filled with laughter and friends; this was not the case with mine. As a child that grew up with no friends; a person would perceive me

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

On February 9th‚2016‚ I was told that I would be expecting my first child. The moment was surreal for me. I never expected to be in a situation as such as a sophomore in college. My life was no longer my own‚ it was being shared by a small human growing inside me. However‚ reality soon set in. I began to realize I wouldn’t have the fairytale pregnancy that every girl dreams of. I did not have the supportive partner that everyone needs in a situation such as this. As a sophomore in college‚ I could

Getting my license has changed my life forever. This event has allowed me to prove to myself and my parents that I am capable of being on my own and ready to function in the real world. My whole life my parents have regretted the decision to start me in school early. They always worried that I would be unable to handle the stresses of adult life at such a young age. Whenever I would talk to my mom about applying for college she would always say to me‚ “I can’t believe you have to deal with this so

Night That Changed My Life I know it’s probably weird to hear someone say a concert changed their life‚ but for me‚ that’s exactly what happened. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a diehard Lady Gaga fanatic. On September 16‚ 2010‚ I went to see Lady Gaga live in concert at the XL Center (formerly known as the Civic Center) in Hartford. This event showed the most cultural diversity than I’ve ever seen before at a music event. What I mean is there were so many people from all walks of life. There

My parents and I were getting ready to leave after a long night waiting for results when the doctor came in and told me the scariest thing I have ever heard in my life. He said that if I had landed and inch and a half more forward on my neck then I would have been paralyzed and in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. When I was in first grade at Morris Brandon Elementary School‚ something very bad happened to me. I was jumping on my trampoline that my sister had gotten 4 days before this for her
