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

Woken by my father‚ I started rambling barefooted towards my family’s tribe as usual preparing for the day. It remained a typical luminous day‚ you could witness my people carrying out their own roles and their tribes. I for one was with my mother who was trained how farming works and become one day the dominant role of the tribe someday. Consequently‚ I wandered off walking around‚ and I did not notice going quite distant from where I should have been until I was all on my own. In addition‚ I could

pull you down under the ground. My parents are very close to me. They have enough knowledge and awareness from people around us. My father advised me every school year that I needed to keep enough distance from others. My father said to me‚ “Abdulelah‚ never go out with bad friends. They can affect you in a small matter of time. I know you’re smart. You will know the right thing from the wrong thing.” I knew that my father trusted me because what he had taught me. My mother told me‚ ”Abdul‚ focus on

fathers. For me this statement rings true as my parents passed their guilt and shame about their ancestry on to me. I grew up in Los Angeles‚ the daughter of a biracial father and a German mother‚ and attended a coed private school from pre-K to 6th grade. During the summers my brothers and I went to Germany. Although I felt strong ties to my German heritage my mom never spoke about what it was like to grow up under fascism in Nazi Germany. Similarly‚ my father did not speak about his family and

The first time in my life that I ever experienced true anger and fear was in the sixth grade. A little before Thanksgiving Break‚ I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma‚ a type of skin cancer‚ in my lower back. I had a mole there that was removed earlier that year‚ and the test results on it had come back positive. I did not find out until later‚ but when my mom sat me down across from her to talk‚ I knew something was wrong. It was then that she told me what was going on‚ and I broke down in

Being thirteen‚ I haven’t really been faced with many life changing decisions. That doesn’t mean I haven’t faced any‚though. One decision in my life‚ that had a great affect on me.

able to find what my mysterious condition was. Shortly before entering high school‚ I noticed that after every meal I would feel extremely nauseous and lie on the ground‚ trying to calm the tension in my stomach. I felt cramped‚ queasy‚ and as if someone was stabbing my guts and abdomen. My monthly cramps were nothing compared to this. At the beginning‚ there was no rush in getting medical attention‚ since at this time I was trying out for my high school’s soccer team‚ and my parents believed it

I figured if I had at least one or two classes with my friends it would be another awesome year like ninth grade was when I had almost all of my classes with at least one of my friends. Like before I talked about how I was bummed for the first few months of school because I didn’t have any classes with my friends.

Approximately ten years ago when I was a regular third grader‚ when life seemed to be rosy and full of fairytales‚ that nothing can be worse than not having your favorite meal at lunch‚ I had a theatre performance that changed my life. I remember standing there in the center of the stage while everyone was staring at me. My body started getting tense and I could hear my heart
