Growing up with my mom things were pretty blunt‚ DON’T do things you know you have no business doing. My sister Nyla and I were like two peas in a pod‚ we did everything together and often defended one another so it was fair for my mom to assume that if something bad happened we both were in on it and she would spank us. At the time I thought it was horrible‚ I look back now at the stories and I laugh. My sister and I did all sorts of things from sneaking extra snacks to setting a water bed on fire

wanting to let some thoughts out of my head about this playoff run‚ so I figured I could share them with you guys instead of some Chiefs fans that really couldn’t care less. Growing up in Steubenville‚ Ohio‚ we lived much closer to Pittsburgh than Cleveland‚ and the majority of my family was from Western PA. This meant I grew up as a Pittsburgh sports fan. Some of my earliest sports memories were watching the Steelers win the Super Bowl and the Penguins hoist the Stanley Cup. The two sports I didn’t

Growing up as the oldest was challenging‚ making it more difficult was the fact that you’re the only girl with 4 brothers. Setting an example is without a doubt one of the most unmanageable‚ yet accomplishable tasks‚ especially at the age of 8. Having to grow up with a single parent was the most probable reason as to why I had to be such a responsible sibling/daughter. When my mother was not around‚ it was my job to pick up my brothers from school‚ feed them‚ help them with homework as well

Growing up the melanin in my skin had always been darker. As a child you start to pick out the differences but you never think anything of it until those differneces are coated with the venom of hatred. When they start dripping out of someone’s mmout I was always told to appreciate the skin that I had although as I got older it seemed to be harder to do. Society seemed to define beauty as being lighter and I was not in that category. My hair thick & "nappy"‚ my lips full‚nose wide. I couldn’t find

However‚ to say that the stereotypes of Asians are completely wrong would be a blatant overstatement. Stereotypes exist for a reason. As psychologist Saul McLeod explains‚ “The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they reduce the amount of processing (i.e. thinking) we have to do when we meet a new person” (MacLeod).

My family came across complications and my parents were undergoing a rough patch. Growing up in an unbalanced environment at this age‚ the

Growing up fast is not necessarily bad; but in retrospect on my first year in college‚ I tried to grow up too fast and lost my youth. There is something about being young. The jokes. The fun. The spontaneity. But when does youth end? I do not think it should end. There is nothing wrong with occasionally goofing off or taking a random road trip once and a while. Moving to New York City and living right beside Wall Street made me believe that I needed to be serious and fully mature. I was already buying

But there is one thing‚ that‚ my family don’t know about me. It’s that i became a man in front of them and they don’t think about it!. Do you remember when you become an adult? Growing up in the Dominican Republic is cool‚ you become a man at 18 years old‚ but you still are an inexperienced teenager. You went from being a baby to being a kid‚ a kid to a teenager‚ a teenager to an adult and a adult to a senior. In the US is different.You have more time to adjust your life‚ create habits and become

I have never known my limits. Ever since I was younger‚ I’ve had a large imagination‚ filling up my days dreaming up endless scenarios of the future. Thinking of possible careers was never a problem‚ but choosing out of the many life paths I wanted was.
