Moving to a different country again, having to restart everything that was already started and established in the country previously. But now it’s time to start from scratch finding a new job, being lost by not knowing anybody or any places. That’s what my mom had to go through. She also had to go through having low income. Since school costed a lot. But still pushed through the rough patch and became stronger as a person. Even when money was a low there was still a smile on her face. Still being happy, still smiling, and never backing down from the problems that wanted to drag her down. Showing me a perfect example for my problems that I would face later downs the road to just stay positive and happy. Thinking positively and thinking about how it could only get better the farther it goes. She dealt with the problems with a smile on her …show more content…
Not remembering where to drive home from school like remembering the road you passed by millions of time from since you were born. Now I started a chapter in my life, not knowing how to go through it. Being scared of what’s to come how I’d be able to do that or how I’d be able to find that out. I was just lost in a whole different country with a different language and culture. Different custom just basically everything is different from the way people look to the clothes on their body. But knowing I have to push through it and find a way to overcome this challenge that has been placed upon me. Needing to look up to other people on how they go through them problems. Seeing my mom on how she pushed forward and just didn’t let the problems or challenges bring her down made me think. Think on how I could take care of my challenge, on how I could handle the challenge that I needed to overcome. I just knew I had to keep my chin up and to not have anything that I double thought get at me. For me think positive and be able to solve this so called challenge once and for
Many close relatives and friends would say she has faced many hardships on her path. These hardships taught her to become even stronger and resilient than she was before. Furthermore, these
In life we must understand that by breaking someone else, we won't fix ourselves. Her obstacles allowed her to learn that love can vanquish evil. Difficult situations are necessary in life and everyone goes through
This was going to be indeed a huge challenge for me. The next day I kept wondering what would it be like in America and how my friends would react if I thought them bye. At the time I was in first grade so leaving my friends would be bad for me. I knew simple English so America wouldn't be as hard for someone who didn’t know any english at all. The whole class time I would be thinking of America and wouldn't pass attention to what the teacher would say.
Moving to America took a huge toll on my family. My mom had to leave her husband behind, and move to a whole new country to raise her two children as a single mother. She had to leave her job, her friends, and her family to once again become a full-time college student. This change had an immense effect on my life. Over the last four years, I have had the extra responsibilities of taking care of my younger brother while my mom spent endless nights studying to be on top of her classes and keep her full scholarship at Broward College.
She got me the help I needed and gave me the strength to pick up the broken pieces in order to put it back together. I’ve learned that “it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.” Said by the wise artist, Lana Del Rey. I loss the one thing I ever wanted, success but soon came to realize that God has bigger plans. Entering my senior year of high school.
She started helping around the house, but when she figured out that it wasn’t much, she got a job at the fields and even though she had no experience in it she still went ahead and did it. “Mama had been strong for her. Now it was her turn to be strong for Mama. She must show her that she didn’t need to worry anymore.”(p163) Based on this quote, I can tell that she knew she had to be strong and her Mom’s sickness didn’t make her more sad than she already was, it motivated her to be strong for her mom and whatever was coming up.
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to leave…. I grew up here for nine years since I was a baby, but the feeling of me leaving didn’t feel right. I didn’t really know what to utter to my dad I didn’t want to go. Jamaica was fun living their having childhood memories was the best and leaving them behind was never my idea. I remember when my dad left New York to come to Jamaica to prepare my paperwork….when we were standing in line
Moving is a burden that has profoundly altered my outlook on things. Going back a few years, I moved to the United States, which meant I’d have to be placed in a new school. This transition was truly and utterly difficult for me, because it happened in the middle of the school year and I was not ready for what was about to be thrown my way. I was scared out of my mind, it felt as if the walls were crumbling down on me and I had no escape route.
and she used to pray to God so she hoped that things will get better. She also had her friends so she was not alone. She had her family and her grandmother India kept pushing her to be strong and be a warrior. I also find strength in my life.
With senior year of high school coming to a close, comes an overwhelming amount of stress about moving away to college. At the beginning of this school year, I was eager to leave and excited to go away, but I came to a realization that leaving home alarms me. At this point in time, I began to notice just how much my parents do for me and just ruminating about everything I would have to do on my own now, makes me nervous. School has never been an issue for me but what my friends say about college, makes it even more petrified to go. Being constantly asked questions like, “how do you always get your work done?” or “how do you have such good time management?” reassures me that I will do fine in college.
As for myself, I started realizing that how I was raised, did not allow me to be independent and achieve things on my own. Growing up, my father always helped me with all my homework, school projects, and in reality babied me to the point where I was never doing things by myself. I appreciate how much my father cared, but now I realized that it only hurt me and is causing me to struggle living on my own, and being independent in even the smallest tasks. Thankfully, once I realized that God was the only one who could give me that strength to overcome this challenge, I was able to begin praying for it. Now, I am slowly becoming more independent and less afraid to fail, because my faith is in God and he will not give me a task that I cannot
Overcoming an Obstacle As I begin to think about my life, I start to reminisce on the most darkest times I went through. This point in time is when I gave birth to my baby boy, which I begin to suffer from postpartum depression. At that moment I knew I needed to seek help, whether it was physically or spiritually. Even though I never thought I would make it out, it has been almost three years since I overcame this obstacle.
New Place My character depends on what sort of person I am; I like to think of myself as a craft man building my character from my childhood. Going to a new place was a change that I experienced in my life. As a ten-years-old boy in my small village in Vietnam, I was blazing fast, but I ran into mischief. My parents dispatched me to a Catholic dormitory elementary school with an educational assignment.
Moving is always hard. It is harder if you are moving from your birthplace to a culturally different country after spending most of your teenage years. I moved from Bangladesh to New York about a year and a half ago and let me tell you, it was not easy. I had to leave the place I grew up in, my friends and relatives and start a new life here in America. Probably the only good part was that at least I was with my family throughout this hardship.
Going through the passing of her father at such a young age, has build up strength in my mom. She had to grow up quickly and learn to have strength and take care of others. Her strength has helped me as I grow up and become an adult. My mom's generosity, cooking for those who have had someone close to them pass away and giving up an hour of her day to spend time with God have shown me alot. Her generosity has shown me how great of a person she is and has made me strive to become a better person.
