Growing up in Rwanda one of the smallest and fast emerging nation in Africa has inspired me to take part and be the change that I want to see in my country. Rwanda is under African average of physician per persons‚ where one physician is accountable to more than ten thousand people and of course that could be a different case in villages where I grew up. I grew up in village near the local hospital‚ and I could see people going there but never come back alive and many of those were my friends or

always wanted to be older‚ we wanted to grow up and do grown up things. We spent our whole childhood imagining what it would be like if we were older and grown up. Now here we are‚ almost grown up…. and I can tell you‚ its not as fun as I thought it was going to be. Sometimes I wish I had never grown up. It is just too sudden. Sometimes I still wish I was a little kid and not a teenager. I think growing up is the worst thing in the world. Growing up means we have to become responsible‚ mommy

Growing up with two Dads When I was younger I couldn’t wait to leave home. I wanted to get as far away from my little town as fast as my feet could take me. I don’t remember where we lived before my parents divorced. I was only two when mom had all she could handle with daddy making liquor and running around with other women all the time. I do remember that. The cussing and arguing finally got to her. We moved in with her parents‚ and her two brothers and about ten other family members. It was a

computer shops are on sale‚ besides‚ we can pay with a credit card‚ so many people can afford it. Most college students have their personal computers now. It’s spectacular that most students use their personal computer in the library. But the growing up of a personal computer has two sides. On one hand‚ the personal computer is useful for students to make full use of the Internet to study the knowledge. And I love the Twilight Saga episodes‚ I enjoy the theme song‚ the plots‚ the settings and everything

values are repeated in poems and songs such as the Pledge of Allegiance and have become somewhat of a logo for the country. Sadly enough‚ there is still debate over who is deserving of these basic rights. An example of this inequivalence is shown in Growing Up Asian in America written by Kesaya E. Noda. The text states‚ “The police were patrolling the road‚ interested only in violators of curfew. There was no help for them in the face of thievery. I had not been able to imagine before what it must have

Growing Up in Poverty. Growing up in poverty was the best was the best thing that ever happened to me. Living in a house full of 5 siblings‚ and having to share everything I have with all of them‚ sure did take a toll on me.

Shouts and laughter echo throughout the kitchen as my grandparents recount stories of growing up in Mexico as young adults. Everyone’s eyes light up with animation as family members contribute to the conversation while eating homemade tamales and menudo. At each of my family holiday gatherings‚ the dinner goes beyond the consumption of a home cooked meal. These family gatherings are very important to me and have contributed to who I am today. My grandparents masterfully orchestrate the discussions

Growing up in an immigrant family shaped my view of life. Neither of my parents achieved their goals of higher education‚ so they enforced their beliefs on their three children; the oldest daughter (who battles with identity issues)‚ a son (who grew up playing basketball to express his emotions of not knowing his biological father)‚ and last but not least‚ the youngest daughter (who faces an endless battle of stress and depression). As a result of my parents forcing their beliefs onto their children

Living in the 21st century we are faced with many issues around the world and in our own societies. In my opinion I would say the biggest issue In our society currently is the speed that children are growing up these days. There was a time when kids enjoyed being kids. Today‚ even at the earliest of ages‚ children are partaking in adult activities with serious consequences. Similar to what we see with alcohol and drugs‚ sex is a very popular and portrayed subject matter. The movies‚ TV‚ the internet
