I grew up to believe that this was my mom’s favorite statement because she indulged in repeating the phrase at least three times a day. Being the oldest was like a bag of candy. There were goodies to it—Skittles and Twix—but there were also drawbacks—chocolate Tootsie Rolls and Reese’s. Ugh.

My business became our business. Nothing

December 9‚ 2014 In My Life: The Beatles For as long as I can remember‚ The Beatles have always had a presence in my life. For instance‚ my father practically raised me on Beatles’ music and to this day I can distinctly remember driving to my grandma’s house on Sunday mornings and in the car listening to 95.5 KLOS Breakfast with The Beatles. I can remember having debates with other kids in my class about who knew more Beatles music (we were 9 years old). I can remember crying at my high school graduation

Inconsistency Reading: something that has always played an imperative role in my life‚ but throughout the years has been significantly irregular. From a young age I was taught to be deeply involved in my reading and to learn and grow from what I read. There have been some specific memories that I hold on to about the noteable things that have established me as a reader. Reading deeply and getting very involved into my reading is a quality that I am lucky to have and that I do not think many people

Although‚ a cliché‚ my nana’s passing was something that changed my life. But Mary Doherty was not a cliché. Not to say that the pain people go through during a grandparent’s death doesn’t hurt‚ but I believe that my nana leaving‚ particularly what she left me‚ has and will continually effect me as a person for the rest of my life. There’s no other way to describe my Nana other than this simple statement; her liveliness would light up a dark room if it could. She embraced the positive‚ which is
