most women in America will hear this word and cringe. Most women enter childbirth uneducated about the real process‚ the reason we have contractions. They will lay on a bed legs up and may try to go natural but always take the epidural in the end. When I would talk to mothers about birth they only spoke of 3 things. Time‚ Pain and trauma. It was never a beautiful story‚ there were never smiles. It was a memory they prefered not to remember

“All 4x100 runners please make your way to the starting line!” On the field‚ I warmed up with my team and made my way nervously towards the line. Everything inside of me felt like it was being thrown around‚ but at the same time‚ I knew I was right where I was meant to be. Standard instructions were given and we were divided into four sections. The instructor yelled “Get moving on! Jog to your sections” and in response our team said good luck to each other. As I arrived at my section‚ I prepared

Nights at the studio multiplied from one night to two to four. At the age of 10‚ I surpassed my sister‚ and became a level IV ballerina. She eventually quit‚ but my love for ballet went on. By the time I was 12‚ I was

“When I was ten years old‚ my brother Miguel came back from the U.S. to visit us. When he was ready to leave‚ he told my mom‚ ‘Hey‚ are you going to let Kiko (which was my nickname) come to the U.S.‚ so he can go to school and have an opportunity?’ and my mom turned to me and said‚ ‘Do you want to go with him?’ Then I looked at her and replied‚ ‘Do you want me to go?’ and she nodded in approval‚ so I went into the house‚ got a backpack‚ and put three pants‚ three shirts‚ and a few other things in

wind brushed by our faces while Colin‚ Brady‚ and I was walking down the trail to see if there was any action. It was silent‚ the only sound was our feet stepping on the crunchy leaves and the squirrels running around on the leafless trees. It was about 2:20 PM‚ and we were going to hunt at 2:30. It was time to get ready...the time to hunt! As we walked down the trail to get to the cabin‚ it was so quiet no sound was made. We made it back to the cabin and geared up‚ all our jackets‚ cooler‚ orange

Tears were rushing down my face as I lied in the rock hard uncomfortable hospital bed. Wearing my ugly gowned and the net for my hair‚ I was listening to all the beeping from the heart rates. While watching the IV puncture my vein‚ I could feel cold fluids steaming through my body like a river. I looked down and saw a tube filled with blood and almost gagged. I saw my parents‚ siblings‚ and best friend gathered around me wishing me luck. Scanning their facial expressions‚ I could tell they were

So‚ naturally‚ this whole experience was going to be about overcoming adversity. I went from running a few meters in a physical education class to running more than 3 miles on a daily basis. I went from walking with a slouching posture to marching as straight as an arrow and even incorporating drill movements

I lived in a small town named Harlem‚ and it was nice in the summer‚ but it ends up getting too hot in the summers. Most people here are people hanging out windows‚ people on fire escapes‚ and anywhere trying to get a cool breeze. Harlem was a town that you could get a job for a day and that’s it pretty much it. I loved playing the saxophone‚ so I tried to use that to get money but it didn’t work as well as I planned. My dad says I should get a part-time job‚ but I wanted full time to get extra money
