Life was so tedious and invisible to see the light. Being stuck in the room and watching people who wanted to get my friends were my daily tasks as there was no one for me. While their faces fill with happiness to meet their new friends, the feelings of embarrassment, anxiety, and envy expand quickly. And only humiliated and dreaded space stayed with me before my hero comes to me. “Nice to meet you! Since this time, we share our special friendship.” One day, a girl with a black-long hair made me escape from the stuffy space. It was first time to feel comfortable and relax from someone. With remembering this day, I’ve spent a nice year as her secretary. However, day by day the fear about something unknown becomes bigger and closer to me. This always …show more content…

This is unbelievable. I thought I am cool, fancy, and smart. But, why doesn’t she think like me? Suddenly, I’m surrounded by white. And I don’t know where I am. Only white. That’s what I know. While walking around the space, all a sudden, memories spending time with her are going around in my head. She is my friend. No, she was my friend. My belief about her begins to paint dark and crack. How painful it is. A stabbing pain comes to my mind and tries to erase the memory with her. No, I shouted, but it was too late. Then, the gate of my heart closed. No movement. I could not feel painful anymore. But, I could not feel joyful anymore neither. Though, this time makes me think of life as a sharp knife cutting my happiness. This may be a good lesson to endure the rest of my life. Thank you for letting me realize that there is sometimes ridiculous moment. But you were my savior. Thank

In his book entitled Untie the Fear Knots of Your Heart, published by Liberty University Books in 2010, Dr. Ken Nichols explains how fears are generated from life events, and that knowing how to manage these fears can be far healthier than letting them control the heart. Dr. Nichols explains how fear is a normal response to life-altering events that one may face, and these fears can often tie one’s heart in knots. This steals the joy that Christ provides. Attempting to use the fear will not overcome the challenging event that originated the fear. Depraved things happen, and they can cause fear.
Most of my friends now are black and some of them have the same views as my mother. I try to tell them otherwise because I have never had someone treat me different just because of the color or my skin. It just like being stuck between a rock and a hard place because I’m sure every black person has some type of different experience, it’s not all the
There are multiple stages of grief and healing. The stages have no order, so one person may not be at the same stage as another when dealing with the same situation. The same thing applies to the stages of healing. In the novel “Ordinary People” by Judith Guest, the Jarrett family, Conrad, Calvin, and Beth are all in different stages of grief due to the loss of Buck and other reasons varying from character to character. The two main characters Conrad and Calvin move from stages of grief to stages of healing by recognizing why their grieving.

She expressed, how she felt about her skin, and provided great reason for how she viewed herself for being colored. She spoke of her ancestors and how they paid the price for her civilization; so therefore, she doesn’t have to feel less of a person because of her skin color. She even mentions a time where she forgets that she was a person o colored until she thrown against the background of white; meaning she sees no color until she is constantly reminded. The author shows core values by being happy in the skin she is in.
She had many white friends during her childhood (National). She never thought much of the different between those friends and her besides when the police would come up, always treating her different from her friends (National). Pickwick moved to Brisbane, Australia
During her childhood, she had little contact with whites.
She has been a stranger to herself for six years, not knowing about her racial identity. She had never thought of herself as black because she has lived with white people all her life. It takes is one photograph with her friends for her to find out her skin color. In the book it states, “Ah was wid dem white chillun so much till Ah didn’t know Ah wuzn’t white till Ah was round six years old. Wouldn’t have found it out then, but a man come long takin’ pictures and without askin’ anybody, Shelby, dat was de oldest boy, he told him to take us.
She would hate me if I were to ever marry someone of African roots. Or anyone that isn 't Mexican. She thinks they’re ugly and perhaps more but she expresses looks more. She is what made me first see racism firsthand.
LOSS, GRIEF AND HEALING As human beings, we suffer losses of many kinds and sizes in our life time. While some of these losses are small and do not hurt much, some are big and hurt deeply. Those that are accompanied by pains that are difficult to bear include the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, cheating or unfaithfulness in a trusted relationship or loss of good health when a diagnosis of a terminal illness is made.
