    All my life‚ my parents have told me that we don’t have money. They struggle to pay the bills each month‚ are thousands of dollars in debt‚ and constantly worry and stress about where they can find the money so that my family is set until next payday. I have watched my dad work up to four jobs at a time while trying to provide for us and make ends meet. Adding to the financial burden‚ my parents are both the youngest children in their families and became the de facto caregivers for all four of

    Valuable Lessons My life started out like the beginning of a perfect childhood. Both of my parents had steady‚ well-paying government jobs‚ we had moved into a new home and even bought a puppy. All was harmonious‚ until my parents decided we would have a better life in Canada. Leaving behind everything and everyone we knew was probably one of the hardest things my parents ever did for my brother and me. Struggling to fit in and assimilate was least of our problems‚ trying to make a decent income

    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

    Twelve years ago‚ life was great. It was as if I was floating on air and surrounded with swaying flowers in a field of healthy grass. Twelve years ago I was just a kid living life for granted‚ because I had nothing to worry about; my parents took care of everything. I had almost anything I wanted‚ because at the time‚ I was an only child. But that wasn’t enough‚ I yearned to be like those big kids down the streets-- tall and strong.

    The education I have received from my parents has been fundamental in my personal development. “I will give my best and I will not accept less than that” that was how my father made me start my day. Since I was little my parents erased the words “ I can not” and “I do not know” from my vocabulary. They taught me that I had to face my responsibilities and problems no matter what‚ for this reason‚ I was astonished when we moved to Texas two years ago and they told me that I could not be in 11th grade

    My eyes felt heavy and dry from staring at my phone for so long. I know I should have been studying for my science test‚ but I procrastinated‚ so I continued to keep my dazed eyes glued to the bright screen. When I rarely looked up from my phone‚ I noticed that day was withering away‚ as it was becoming more and more deep into the night‚ with the sun replaced by the moon in the star-filled sky. After just simply turning my neck to my window‚ I felt stiff from staying in the same position‚ being too

    College is an open door to many opportunities especially for someone like me who comes from a conservative culture in which most believe the working field is not for women. Times have changed and yet an employed woman is looked down upon. Many girls dream about having a bright future only to see it shatter once they become older and their opportunities are seized. I want to be able to beat the odds and go against the old-fashioned beliefs of my culture. To do so I need to achieve a higher education

    Freedom is priceless. Freedom means to love‚ live‚ and worship as you choose. Always remembering that this choice consists not only in doing what we like or want‚ but in having the right to do what we should. Freedom to me means to learn from my mistakes. If we did not have freedom we would not be able to worship our religion‚ speak freely‚ and assembly with others. Freedom is the foundation upon which our founding fathers built this country. Freedom of religion‚ speech‚ and assembly is just three
