THE BODY
My uncle and i were close. Me and him bonded we 've always hung out ever since i was little. he was morend like a best friend than a uncle, he was immature for his age always joking never taking anything seriously. i saw him as more of a father than my actual dad. He was always there for me. It was 2:36 i was getting my gear together for my baseball game. we were gonna meet my uncle there he said he had something to do first. That 's when my mom got the call, her face whitened and all the blood drained. She looked at me and even before she said anything i knew something was wrong. “Nicolos your uncles in the hospital he 's been shot.” i felt cold and i could feel my heart rate increase i rushed to get my shoes on my mom got her purse and we raced across town to the hospital. “Where is he?” i asked my dad who was looking nervous and deeply troubled “they took him into surgery i don 't know how long it 'll be.” how long we waited i can 't say it felt like centuries passed then a doctor came up to us. “ he has metal close to his heart were gonna try to remove it in a few hours but i cant say its hit or miss at the moment, but he 's awake if you wish to see him.”my dad went in first with my mother. she soon came out “wait for your father then you can go in” she said sitting down looking sad although i think more for my sake. My father walked out looking more angry than sad. “don 't hug him ok” he said with a angry tone. i knew he 'd be drinking tonight. I walked into
She was freaking out, of course, but my dad stayed calm. They talked for awhile and when he got off the phone, he said, “Your mother said I can either bring you home right now or I’m calling the cops!” I told my dad to let her call the cops. He called her back, told her what I said, and they hung up. About ten minutes later, the cops were calling my dad.
Saidiya Hartman book " Lose Your Mother" is about the Atlantic slave trade and the journeys of the captives. Through this book she follows the line of her family history and genealogy. She shows the passage of three centuries of African and American history with slavery and its causes and effects. This book does more than look at the whole history of the slave trade; it is, also, a journey for Saidiya Hartman, herself. She sees States a social death not only in Africa but in the Americas through the strangers she meets and the history she learns.
As I slowly walked over to where my mom was sitting I dreaded the conversation that was about to happen. As soon as she handed me the phone I said “hi” and after a long silence I finally heard my father’s booming voice through the phone. “Hey sweetheart, I’m sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend.” When I heard this I couldn’t help but fight back the tears. Crying was never acceptable so I already knew better then to let him hear me cry.
It was getting late and I thought heard the sound of anger, I knew it was my father. My father was a part of the SS, this stood for “Strict Sense”, all I knew about it was that it was a Nazi party. He was a very strict man, but enjoyed spending time with me. My mother was not very happy with his work, but supported him to make him happy.
His muscles under my bare legs tensed and flexed as he ran to the woods over the ocean of grass. I remember the blinding sunlight, the smell of the morning, and the sound of my broken mother as I clung to his long mane. The wind blew the tears from my eyes as we raced towards the woods. I never heard the gunshot, I just remember it like a punch in my shoulder blade, with the nasty sting following. When the bullet tore in to my back, all the pain from that day suddenly welled up from the depths of my stomach and surged in my throat and I let out a primitive howl of my
My hands became clammy and my heart started racing. I did not want to believe the words coming out of my mother’s lips, “His kidney failed three weeks after the operation, he is dead”. I was just 5 years old and I felt like there was no purpose to live. My father was everything to me. I already missed his genuine kindness, the way his smile formed whenever he talked to me about life, and the times where we had father-son time at the airport, watching airplanes fly.
“Tell us. Tell us what’s happening! Say something…” At that moment, we were anxious to hear something encouraging, a few words telling us that there was nothing to worry about… But one glance at my father’s face left no doubt.”
The event that has shaped me into who I am today is that I am a big sister. I am a big sister to my brother and sister. It has helped me to become a better student in school and class. Having a brother and sister, though it has been a rollercoaster in my life, it has shaped me into who I am today in school and class. I was an only child until I was almost three when my little sister was born.
Teenage Mom It is estimated that around 750,000 teenaged girls get pregnant every year, in the United States. I am a part of this statistic. At the age of 15 I became pregnant with a baby girl, whom I later named Penelope Rose Clark. I thought this was the end of my life, but I later found out that I was terribly wrong, it was only the beginning. Life may not go in the direction you had planned, but that doesn’t mean it’s going in the wrong direction.
There have been many people in my life who have impacted it both negatively and positively, but no one has had an impact in my life greater than my mom. This woman is just amazing in my eyes, right from the beginning because of the way she raised me, if I had children I would raise them the same way she raised me. The person she is, in general, has really had a great effect in my life, and also how she has always told me about the struggles shes had in her life from the ones I didn't see to the ones I have seen with my own eyes. I believe if I didn't know my mother as well as I do, she wouldn't have influenced me as much as she does. The way my mom raised me has made me the person I am today, so if I were to say she didn't impact my life I would be lying.
I watched my mother fade away slowly as she was battling pancreatic cancer. I looked after her everyday as best as I could; however, the feeling of my eventual solitude was unbearable. The thought of my mother’s imminent demise made me feel like my heart was being continuously stabbed. Watching my mother suffer was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through. After her passing; something changed in me, darkness filled where love once was.
My Definition of a Hero A hero is “Any person admired for qualities or achievements and regarded as an ideal or model” (“Hero”). When someone hears the word ‘hero’, they most likely think of firefighters, police officers, or soldier. However, the person who comes to my mind when I think of a hero is my mother, Becky Harper. She goes above and beyond each day, displaying characteristics of a hero.
Most people in the world are different in many ways. In fact, some people say no human being on earth has the same fingerprints. On a similar topic, my parents are different in many ways also. Although my mother and father are different in the ways they act, live life, and discipline children, I love them both. First off, my mother and father differ in the ways they act.
My mom, my sweet, gentle mom. My mom is like my sister, we love to talk about juicy stuff and love to share with each other what we did during the day. I don 't like to imagine myself without her because she is basically my life. She is caring and kind and always have a smile on her face when she sees me. When I say her name I get a picture of her in my mind.
My mom is my best friend, my sister, and my mom; I tell her everything and she tells me everything! I am so thankful I have such a strong relationship with my mom, because some people do not have a mother figure in their life at all. My mom is my modern day hero because of her strength, generosity, and confidence. The first characteristic that makes my mom my modern day hero, is her strength.
