Cucu I sit now quietly in front of a grand piano in my cousin’s living room. My cousin‚ Lana‚ is speaking to me- she had me over for lunch to discuss the family- yet I am distracted by the large instrument that takes up almost half the room. I can only assume the baby grand was once a shiny black‚ though because its keys have been played numerous times‚ its color is noticeably faded.

me and my sister spending hours on Cable Beach. Cable beach had pristine white sand‚ crystal clear water and amazing sunsets. Dad used to take us camping on the beach and we would build sandcastles together and look in all the rock pools. Another experience I can remember is the staircase to the moon‚ everyone would pile on the shores of Roebuck Bay and watch the full moon reflecting off the tidal flats of the bay. To a Grade 2 student‚ life could not get any better. That was until one life-changing

After reading over the topics I immediately started to think back in my memory‚ as I am conditioned that way. I didn’t think of anything that could be described as "most important". A lot of people (adults) would answer‚ my marriage‚ the birth of my children‚ but nothing could be filtered out as the single most important moment. So I thought that it might come in the future‚ that I haven’t experienced the most important moment in my life yet. But how can I know when that will be everyone ask ? Of course

Through out my life I have always been an average student‚ never excelling in anything particular due to lack of enthusiasm. I would always get good test grades but neglect asigned projects and papers. I was satisfied getting by every year with a barely passing grade and continuing on. Every now and then I would get a project that would peak my intrest and do well on it surprising my peers and teachers‚ but that was it‚ it was a rare and non-consistent action. With each passing year my eagerness faded

The Things my Deceased Sister told me First‚ I must tell you that I had a sister named Cindy. When we were young‚ people thought we were twins. She was 13 months older then me.

No amount of hugs and kisses could make up for this loss of life. Having him being an inspiration to me‚ I now feel like I am lost. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for him. I was so very grateful when he gave me my second horse‚ Annie. Annie and I have managed to go very far together‚ competitions

I lived my childhood and adolescence in Brazil‚ during the decades of 80 and 90. The early 1980s in Brazil is marked by a series of changes in the political field and accompanied by an economic crisis. The population had a standard of living precariously under great disregard of the state on investments in social policies. (Retka‚ Centenaro‚ Junior & Rizzotto‚ 1993). I can identify some disparities that the social context brought to my family. I am the oldest of three children. My parents did not
