I am a very optimistic and determined person. We’ve all heard about the girl raped‚ abused‚ or even in foster care right? Luckily‚ I was neither of the those. Although just because I have never been that girl doesn’t mean I haven’t had my own struggles and obstacles I have had to overcome. Obstacles that made me who I am. The ones that gave me my identity. My obstacles started as a baby. I was conceived when my mother was only thirteen years old. She lost custody of me and my older three siblings

what comes after it (if anything at all). For as long as humans have inhabited the earth‚ people have had their own theories about afterlife. In the poem “I Heard a Fly Buzz - When I Died‚” the ghost speaker reflects on her last minutes of life‚ curiously searching and reassuring herself of the possibility of an afterlife promised by God when suddenly a fly shifts her thoughts to pointless wandering. Despite the fact that the speaker is preparing for death‚ something as small as a fly is able to

It was the time when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were candidates for the election of the president. When I came to the US for the first time it was like I am blind and could not see anytime because I was new to all the roads that were going we our road‚ on top of us‚ etc. In the the US they use to say that if you don’t know how to drive then you are without legs‚ if you don’t know the roads then you are blind‚ if you don’t know English then you are dumb.

When I was born in the US I took on the title of being my families first generation American; something I wouldn’t realise the significance of until much later in my life. Even as I was born in the US I still feel as British as tea and crumpets. Sunday wasn’t spent watching NFL games‚ but was instead spent watching British Premier League games. But with sunday soccer and 4th of July parties‚ I have grown to embrace both sides of who I truly am. “Wait so if you’re british‚ why don’t you have an

I came to the United States eight years ago when I was 11 years old. I had to learn how to read‚ write‚ and speak all over again. I thought I would never learn English‚ and that I would never be a good student again like I was in Mexico. When I first arrived in the United States‚ attending college was a dream that seemed unattainable. Even though I felt scared‚ I learned that all the effort put towards school is worth it. I felt that if you work hard‚ you can conquer any obstacle life throws at you

A TIME WHEN I RAN AWAY I’ve had enough of my life. Everybody at school jeers at me and constantly bullies me. Even the teachers pick on me‚ because I’m not exactly the brightest student.

I may be shy‚ but I’m also mysterious‚ curious and after some thought‚ and quite a lot of beatings‚ I decided to try something new‚ to run away from home.
