My body slams into the ground. I get up wipe the dust off my back‚ pop my board into my hand‚ and sprint up the stair set for one more go. Growing up I fit the skateboarder stereotype‚ I was a skater boy who didn’t care about his future. Little did anyone know‚ skating was the one thing that kept me going. I spent most of my days skating after school until dark only to come home to my parents screaming at me to throw my board in the trash. Coming from Bangladesh‚ my parents always wanted me to

My Life Was Ruined “No!!” I look out window from my balcony and I see my bunny they’re lying on the floor full of ants and spiders. I fall to the ground crying so hard. While I’m crying I remember all the memories we had together that bunny was my everything. I loved it so much I even named it after the squirrel from spongebob because that was my favorite cartoon. My aunts and grandpas where in our house having dinner as soon as they heard my scream they came running towards me I was about to run

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. My background and experiences are unique compared to most. I was raised in a Hispanic household‚ the son of immigrant parents who came to this country both at young age in search of the American dream. I am a

I can call it tradition for my family to move every couple of years‚ for I have moved four times in my life. I started the journey of life in Missouri‚ continued it in Tennessee where I learned to walk‚ South Dakota where I started my basketball career‚ into Ohio where I spent fifth‚ sixth‚ seventh grade‚ and now in Minnesota for the rest of my high school career.

Fresh Perspective Living in Texas most of my life I was no stranger to Americans who either didn’t speak English at all or whose first language wasn’t English. As I interacted with people‚ mostly from Mexico‚ I had a hard time understanding why they didn’t want to speak English . Although I’m ashamed to say it‚ I often viewed these people as less educated and meek. A statement that Ive heard all to often is that people who don’t speak English should learn our language or leave America. However

I would like to start this narrative by saying that I am a very troubled and troublesome person. I do not recommend or suggest anyone does what I do and live how I live. Do not ask me about this paper or contact my parents about it when I say the things that I do. This is starting to sound like a warning ha-ha. I live by one motto‚ it is two words‚ one of them is explicit and starts with the letter f and the other word is it. But for the purposes of this being for school I will use “screw” it instead

have a near death experience. One summer‚ when I was young‚ my family and I went to a water park. I didn’t know how to swim‚ but thankfully the majority of the park required no swimming ability. For one of the rides‚ I wanted to get out of my tube and jump around‚ but once I climbed out‚ I immediately sunk to the bottom. I tried to kick back up and just as my legs gave in‚ a lifeguard climbed in and essentially saved my life. He was my hero and I was very grateful‚ but something was bothering me

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
