My full name is Colin Zachary Arndt. I was born at a ski resort in Steamboat Colorado‚ Then my parents and I traveled the country following my grandparents. My grandfather was a well know hotel manager so he was transferred a lot. My parents were both college drop outs so we didn’t have a lot of money and we spent the beginning of my life in a very rough spot. When my Dad was finally able to get a job we moved here and lived in the apartment building across the street from Mi Rachito. I was not a

Forrest Gump once said on a park bench‚ “ My mama always said there’s an awful lot you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes‚ where they’re going‚ where they’ve been.” As I get older‚ the more I realize everyone has a story to be heard. However‚ mine cannot be told by the shoes I wear on my feet. It can be told by the way I carry myself through everyday life. At a young age I quickly became accustomed to chaos. My father’s second home was a prison cell‚ and my mother’s first love was drugs. This

in the Helfman household. My mom was constantly jabbering on the phone‚ my dad’s eyes were glued to his computer working‚ and my brother was stuck to his bed and never got up. My brother‚ Danny had gotten into Syracuse University a few months earlier and he was ecstatic about the life he was going to make for himself. Danny and I got along well our whole lives‚ but we weren’t as close as some other siblings. This upset me because sometimes all I wanted to do was talk to my brother and get his advice

Life is an interesting journey full of unforeseen situations that can alter our initial plans. During my years in high school my parents always reminded me of the importance of aspiring to be the best I could be and‚ as a result‚ I would be able to accomplish anything. I took their words to heart. I studied hard‚ performed extremely well and finished with a 3.5 GPA and in the top 25 percent of my high school class.

rather a who. The combination of my parents and my younger sister has been with me since my earliest memories. In my house‚ however‚ understood affection was the standard‚ as my parents were often busy. Both of them work in the healthcare fields and as such worked long‚ irregular hours. This gave me isolation‚ possibly a dangerous factor to work with. Yet‚ without that very isolation‚ I would be missing the most integral part of who Dylan Sreshta is today. Leaving me to my own devices gave me ample time

I have never been the kind of person that knows what they are supposed to be. While that is certainly not a unique condition‚ I have felt at times that my uncertainty was to an almost comical degree. As a kid‚ I tried dozens of sports and was successful at approximately zero of them. In an effort to get me to do something‚ my parents put me in art classes‚ science camps‚ sports leagues‚ and other kinds of activities we could barely afford‚ but none of them stuck. With little exaggeration‚ I feel

My eyes felt heavy and dry from staring at my phone for so long. I know I should have been studying for my science test‚ but I procrastinated‚ so I continued to keep my dazed eyes glued to the bright screen. When I rarely looked up from my phone‚ I noticed that day was withering away‚ as it was becoming more and more deep into the night‚ with the sun replaced by the moon in the star-filled sky. After just simply turning my neck to my window‚ I felt stiff from staying in the same position‚ being too

My parents and I were getting ready to leave after a long night waiting for results when the doctor came in and told me the scariest thing I have ever heard in my life. He said that if I had landed and inch and a half more forward on my neck then I would have been paralyzed and in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. When I was in first grade at Morris Brandon Elementary School‚ something very bad happened to me. I was jumping on my trampoline that my sister had gotten 4 days before this for her
