usually for a long time. Have you ever experienced a trauma? I made it nearly nineteen years without enduring a traumatic experience. Yes‚ an affair leading into a divorce is considered a trauma. When the man I grew up idolizing left my family for a twenty-year-old girl‚ it left me mentally and emotionally unstable.

I have played volleyball for ten years but did not play competitively until four years ago. I decided I needed more competition than what recreational volleyball was offering so I began to play club. After two years of great coaching I had become a very good all-around player until my knee injury.

from my mother’s grasp‚ I charged. With arms flailing and chubby legs fluttering beneath me‚ I was the ferocious two year old rampaging through Costco on a Saturday morning. My mother’s eyes widened in horror as I jettisoned my churro; the cinnamonsugar rocket gracefully sliced its way through the air while I continued my spree. I sprinted through the aisles‚ looking up in awe at the massive bulk products that towered over me. Overcome with wonder‚ I wanted to touch and taste‚ to stick my head

Hope has always kept me strong and has helped me move forward in my life. Without hope one would not be able to face everyday challenges. The challenges that I was faced with have benefited me in ways that not only have an impact on me‚ but also benefit others. The first thing I remember was the cold concrete school floor. Everything around me was spinning and I had no idea where I was. My body felt numb. I glanced to my right where I saw the dark shoes of a paramedic. “Everything is going to be okay

I haven’t faced any financial adversity that has changed my life‚ or in which I succeeded in the face of it. I have had other struggles or problems‚ but they probably don’t compare to other people’s troubles. I am happy to be so lucky to have been born into such a good family. Money has never been a real issue‚ as I come from a pretty good home. My parents made sure I had everything I needed‚ but they were also smart about not always giving me the things I wanted. They were teaching me and my siblings

“Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see‚” Dad reiterated as I became a young woman. But growing up‚ I relied on what I could see‚ what I could touch‚ and what others shared with me. I held my peers and teachers words as peremptory and gained a sense of false dependence. As I entered my third year of high school this changed. “I need you to translate what this man is saying‚” Dad explained as he drove through our neighborhood.
