My parents got divorced when I was four. They say it’s because they didn’t love each other anymore‚ They weren’t happy together anymore. I have been back and fourth between parents since I was five‚ having been seen as the girl who’s parents aren’t together anymore or the girl who has been back and fourth for her whole life isn’t much of what any young child wants to hear. I’m still known as this girl at the moment it may not seem like it but it is. Once I got comfortable with the fact that my parents

My father had a saying growing up that he would tell me religiously‚ “un buen gallo en cualquier gallinero canta.” It directly translates to “a good rooster in any henhouse sings.” It was a metaphor meaning that regardless of the place or the obstacles in front of me‚ I could always succeed.

When my expulsion appeal failed‚ I felt like my life was over. Having grown up in a strict Christian family that migrated to The United States from Ukraine‚ a heavy emphasis was always placed on education. My mom‚ a single mother‚ would always tell me how lucky I am to be in The United States and how I can do anything I could possibly want in this country as long as I work hard for it. I took that half-heartedly. While I was always proud of my grades and the work I always put into school‚ I was

was the most significant day in my life‚ and I thought that for many years‚ but I was wrong. Being adopted is not weird‚ it is just confusing; and one word can control your thoughts for years. Why? My adoptive life was normal. I have loving parents‚ a dog‚ and we argue‚ just like any other normal family. That didn’t mean I did not think about my birth parents. I even envied them. I look back today and ponder why I did and all I can think of is that‚ they were my parents‚ why wouldn’t I? I originally

At first I just wanted a cookie. In elementary I would get a cookie from my parents if I did well in school. So during that time I would try my hardest to do well in school just so I could receive the prize. But by the time I got to junior high I discovered that I did not want to do well in school for the cookie. I just loved to learn about new things. Even though there are many financial obstacles that stood in my way of learning‚ I still plan on succeeding in life and helping out others who are

I have experienced many obstacles in my life‚ but there’s that one obstacle that changed my life in a way I didn’t imagine. As a matter of fact I was not aware that such thing would present itself as an obstacle in my life but it did. In 2006 I joined the U.S. Army and was shipped off to Basic Combat Training. Just being there was a challenge on itself. During Basic Training we were taken to The Confidence Obstacle Course. At first I thought it was easy‚ run over logs‚ climb short walls‚ swing on
