can almost see the shore‚ It feels as if I’ve been riding this wave for days. This wave is my hurdle in the ocean that is life‚ choppy at the beginning but slowly passing by. The ocean has many waves‚ one for each surfer to ride‚ my specialty wave happened to be dyslexia. It was in the second grade that my teacher first realized I was different from the other students‚ because I had yet to read my first book. My parents had found this odd as well‚ and took me to see a neurologist‚ who diagnosed me as

My journey of overcoming adversity began at the age of 7 with a routine visit to the doctor. Little did I know‚ that day would change my life forever. The doctors suggested checking my glucose levels‚ and with a single finger prick‚ the machine displayed ominous letters: ’HHH’ (immensely high). I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. What followed was an extremely grueling two weeks of treatment and recovery. The impact of my disease ripples through every aspect of my life. My mother lost her job

Six and a half years ago‚ on a sweltering August morning‚ I began my freshman campaign. I remember stepping out of Jones and thinking‚ “Wow‚ every girl here is ridiculously pretty.” Hyperbole aside‚ I was raring to launch. During that fall semester‚ I had a public speaking class on Tuesdays and Thursdays that started at 7:30 in the morning. I can never remember‚ but it was either just before or just after the time change‚ when it’s still dark out at 7:00. Regardless‚ even under such uncanny conditions

I was 8 years old when my grandpa died. Me and my grandpa were best buds we did everything together. He help out my family with everything. He would help out my mom with money or food for the house. He would help me with school and give a bike when my other one breaks from racing with other people so much. My grandpa ended up getting cancer from smoking cigars. My mom got a call one day and she started to cry‚ so I waited for her to get off the phone so I can ask what is wrong. After she got off

Fearing a simple life is a thing of the past because I know the sorrow of a complicated life. I don’t wish to return‚ my heart wishes to believe‚ and look‚ its shouting out that “this is no mistake.” We all go through a period in life that’s either reflected in a positive light or a negative one. The experience usually leads us to learn something from it. I thank God for making me experience the tragedy bestowed upon me. For if I wasn’t to experience such a thing as losing my father I don’t know

Though both my parents came from a Hispanic background their conflicting cultures of first generation American and “chicano” shaped my identity. I vividly remember my birthday parties that I despised more than enjoyed as my two families came together with opposing values and language barriers in conflict on how I was being raised. Although this Montegue-Capulet like relationship ultimately led to the separation of my parents early on I was able to grow to love both of my families in their own

I didn’t want the day to end. I dreaded going back to my dad’s house and going through the cycle all over again. The shift from a familiar environment‚ then being removed from it became frustrating and tiring. As a child‚ I had this perfect image of having two parents who show compassion but not in my situation. I got lost going back and forth‚ I started to lose myself‚ leaving a piece of my identity behind every time I left one of my parent’s houses. As the years went by‚ I didn’t really know who

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. It was all up to me to figure

where my story took off. I can’t recall what was my first book that I started reading when I was 3 years old I don’t exactly know the name of the book but the title was something like “baby duck and the father”‚ I didn’t know what genre it was but all I remember is that the book was just a piece of art that changed my world. I was a little kid that was anxious to go to elementary school because one day I went to an open house with my cousin named Uriel Moran‚ once I put a step on the school I thought
