You may often hear this when you’re growing up in a public school‚ “Partner up with someone!” or “Find someone to work with.” No matter in what class‚ there’s always a assignment that you need to complete with someone in the classroom. So during the very first day of school‚ I was lost. I followed the crowd to my homeroom‚ and incidentally grabbed one of the brown bags. As I marching up the stairs‚ people start looked into the bags and so do I. Same with all the transfer students‚ I don’t know what

days for me when I was growing up. Because I was born with a handicap that’s what they called it in my day. I was born with a club foot‚ which meant the bone in my right leg was broken during the time my mother carried me. And the doctors had to do surgery on me when I was 10 months old. I was told that the doctors had to fix the broken bone in my right leg. I still have the scar. As I begin to walk‚ I walked on my toes. I walked this way until the second surgery when I was about 6 or 7 years old. This

Growing up near Detroit‚ I have personally seen the poor conditions and standards of life that some people are living in. Although I have completed many hours of volunteer work in an effort to improve the bad conditions in the city‚ I feel as if I have not done enough. That is why after reading SCU’s vision‚ the aspect that attracted me most was the idea of building a more humane‚ just and sustainable world. In our society‚ the less fortunate are often overlooked. We forget that those that are struggling

Being a military dependent‚ I am constantly moving to new locations. It was difficult growing up as a military child because I had no place that I could truly call my home. In addition‚ since most of my friends were part of a military family‚ they were constantly moving as well.Throughout my life‚ my father would often deploy months at a time which was difficult for me especially when I was only a kid because I had not fully comprehended why he was leaving so often. Furthermore‚ it would always sadden

Growing up fast is not necessarily bad; but in retrospect on my first year in college‚ I tried to grow up too fast and lost my youth. There is something about being young. The jokes. The fun. The spontaneity. But when does youth end? I do not think it should end. There is nothing wrong with occasionally goofing off or taking a random road trip once and a while. Moving to New York City and living right beside Wall Street made me believe that I needed to be serious and fully mature. I was already buying

Growing up as the oldest was challenging‚ making it more difficult was the fact that you’re the only girl with 4 brothers. Setting an example is without a doubt one of the most unmanageable‚ yet accomplishable tasks‚ especially at the age of 8. Having to grow up with a single parent was the most probable reason as to why I had to be such a responsible sibling/daughter. When my mother was not around‚ it was my job to pick up my brothers from school‚ feed them‚ help them with homework as well

poster here. I’m a highschool student in Kansas City and I’ve been wanting to let some thoughts out of my head about this playoff run‚ so I figured I could share them with you guys instead of some Chiefs fans that really couldn’t care less. Growing up in Steubenville‚ Ohio‚ we lived much closer to Pittsburgh than Cleveland‚ and the majority of my family was from Western PA. This meant I grew up as a Pittsburgh sports fan. Some of my earliest sports memories were watching the Steelers win the Super

Growing up in a household with a different culture was very arduous for me until I perceived it as a creative blessing and the most character-building thing I’ve dealt with in my life. I spent half of my childhood being ashamed of my ethnicity and the other half being fine with it‚ but not giving it too much thought. My family was from Kingston‚ Jamaica so I really didn’t understand that much of the United States because my parents were somewhat learning about the country too. Having to grow up in

When I was a little girl‚ all I wanted was to grow up and be like the big girls. That was my dream. I wanted to stay up late. I wanted to drive. I wanted a boyfriend. I wanted to play varsity basketball like the big girls I saw on the court. I wanted to go to college just like them. I had no idea the real meaning behind any of these activities. Now that I have experienced all these activities‚ I can’t seem to think of anything better than being a little girl again. As a little girl‚ I lived a carefree

But there is one thing‚ that‚ my family don’t know about me. It’s that i became a man in front of them and they don’t think about it!. Do you remember when you become an adult? Growing up in the Dominican Republic is cool‚ you become a man at 18 years old‚ but you still are an inexperienced teenager. You went from being a baby to being a kid‚ a kid to a teenager‚ a teenager to an adult and a adult to a senior. In the US is different.You have more time to adjust your life‚ create habits and become
