At the age of ten the Egyptian revolution opened my eyes to understanding the oppression that was going on within my country and the class struggle that was embedded within its structure. This instilled a mustering need to help elevate and equate the basic needs and rights of those who are less fortunate. At this time the country was at a halt‚ and my brother was entering 11th grade. In order for him to finish his education without any further interruptions my father decided it was best for us to

Growing up I spent most of my childhood in Vietnam living an ordinary life. My parents were not risk-takers until they decided to quit their career as educators and move to the United States. Knowing that life in America will be challenging for immigrants‚ we mentally prepared ourselves to be fearless and get through every obstacle that is in our way. No matter how prepare we were‚ being a newcomer was frightful. When I first step foot on the land of promise‚ there was a mixed emotion suddenly rushed

In life everyone has heard words that just stick with them. The words that make you think twice about how you feel about certain situations.

First of all‚ there were many reasons I did not want to relocate. For example‚ I loved the weather in Seattle‚ and all of my friends were there. One main reason‚ I did not want

The moment when you were first born is important. The moment when you first go to school is important. Many things happened to us in the past ‚ but we only remember it vividly‚ probably because it’s not that essential so we’re not bothered by it. However‚ we will remember our watermarks forever even if we’re growing older by the days because it makes us who we are. Different people have their own different lives to live‚ so of course everyone’s story is not the same. As for me‚ the one watermark

Growing up‚ I experienced life in a certain way and a certain environment that forced me to adapt to that lifestyle at a young age. It made me realize that my perspective on life isn’t the same compared to others. Ten years ago‚ my family and I lived together in New York for about a year before my brothers had to move to our home country‚ Nepal. Throughout those years I learned to live as an independent and closed girl‚ however‚ at the age of fourteen‚ my siblings reappeared back into my life. From

The first city I lived in when I moved to America was an island. Mackinac Island attracted people from various parts of the country every year; usually in the summer. I heard people talking about how they needed a break from their heavily packed schedules‚ and time away was just what they needed. Travelling is a major part of some people’s life; as a matter of fact‚ one lady told me that if travelling were free‚ I’d never see her again‚ but living right above me is my neighbor who wouldn’t travel

Imagine being seven and in a foreign country seeing all types of new things. This is what I experienced when I went to Yemen in 2007. It was a world different from my own‚ but little did I know it would change my life. Seeing things from a different perspective really does change your view on the world. Learning to understand that not everyone sees things the same way you do can be difficult sometimes‚ but definitely not impossible.

The first place I would pick to move to is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Everyone forgets about this part of Michigan‚ half of the time it isn’t on the weather maps on the news. I think it would still be hard because I would have to pick up my life and transfer it to another world. At this point I understand that I would have to give up the luxuries I love so much. I would keep my phone but I cannot take my entire bedroom‚ my car‚ or my school with me. I know a lot of my family would stay put
