Waking up on a Sunday morning was routine, each Sunday I’d get up at Seven-thirty in the morning and get dressed. Running around last minute trying to get makeup on I realized my sister wasn 't even out of bed yet. So heading over to her room, I found her with the bed covers over her face. I remember pestering my sister to get up and finally she flipped over the covers. Achieving the goal of waking her up, I turned around to leave the room when she said, “I crashed the car.” My first thought was exactly what, “what did you say?” Pulling her face into the mattress she muffled and said, “I snuck out and accidentally crashed the car and left it there.” It sounded too good to be true and immediately I checked out the garage. Like exactly what Nicole said the car wasn 't there and that was when panic started to set in. Crying out to mom I cried, “the car isn 't here!” Behind the door of her closet, I heard my mother ask if I was joking. Telling her I was quite serious she came rushing out of room to the door of the garage. Ripping the door open, she found exactly what I found, no car. …show more content…
Running and shouting could be heard and I knew my mom had found another phone. Finally, it was the last straw, there was no chance my mother was going to stick around with my sister’s behavior. On Sunday evening after mass, I was told that I was going to have a sleepover with my friend Jiana, but as soon got into the car I said, “okay Mom, Where are we going really?” It turned out I was going to my Godmother 's house for the night while my sister was going to be sent away. Afraid that my sister would run away, my mom didn 't tell her about her being sent away, but I knew it was for the best for her mental and physical health. Later that night Nicole was awoken by my mom and was escorted to the trouble for girls camp. It wouldn 't be until 6 months till I saw her
In early January of 2017, my mom had called my school so that she could talk to me. She cried very hard when I talked to her while trying to tell me that she had gone to a different country and would come back soon. I could not figure out why she cried, it worried me, When I asked my dad, he just told me she would come back soon but would not tell me her reason for crying. When she came back, she seemed just fine and did not cry once, so I decided not to ask her about why she cried over the phone because I wanted to see her remain happy. A few weeks later my mom had come to speak to me and my sister about how our young cousin died and educated us on how we should feel really grateful we still live together and how we should take care of each other.
When I was a little boy, me and my friend were riding with my friends mom to a corn Maze. I was very excited to go to my first corn maze, and my friend was excited to wander around the maze and jot down thoughts about their surroundings. My friend had always been the smarter, and more adventurous individual, compared to me. As the car gentled to a creaking stop, me and my friend looked out the foggy stained grey window, to see a creepy black and white shack sitting in what seemed the middle of nowhere, next to the pale maze. Me and my friend slowly adapted to our surroundings, and gathered the courage to see if there was anybody at the old mossy covered shack.
The truck driver got out the truck asking me if I was ok but I ran down the sidewalk to my house to tell my mom.
When I was eight, my family could not believe what I was doing to my nanny on the way to Gatlinburg. My family and I begin to scavenge our belongings to place in my mother 's car, my anxiety and excitement begins to rise. We all start to swarm in the vehicle and to my recollection, I notice the sun beginning to ascend over the horizon. My mother stomped on the gas pedal to accelerate the car forward out of our driveway onto the road. In the car, my parents occupy the front driver and passenger seats, my brother sits next to the window behind my mother and I sit behind my father, which leaves the middle seat for my nanny to take up.
The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence. For me, it was filled with new opportunities of taking Ap classes and joining clubs. One of these cubs was Youth and Government (Y&G). For as long as I can remember my brother, Riad, has boasted about how amazing Y&G is and how it has changed his life. My brother is three years older then me, so as a freshman he was a senior in Y&G.
When my mom saw me, she began to scream hysterically; and my dad quickly started the car in effort to bring me to the hospital as soon as
I’d never seen my mom look this way. Her face was pale, and her hands shaking as she tried handing the tea to my sister. I take my backpack up to my room and lay on my bed. “Thank you God for saving my sister today” was the only thought running through my
However, after three months of absolute misery, I was able to persuade my mom to visit her once a week. I would visit her every Sunday from 12-2 with my dad and my grandma. During those visits I witnessed the most heinous acts of inhumanity. Inappropriate conduct was commonplace. My mom was surrounded by criminals, people who had killed and raped. Sadly, the continual chaos and the death of my grandfather all contributed to the deterioration of my mother’s health.
January 11, 2013, I wake up to yelling, prayers, and crying. I walked into the kitchen where all the noises were coming from and I found my mother on the floor crying, talking on the phone with my godmother. My father was there by her side, trying hard not to cry while supporting his wife. I didn’t know what was happening, this was the first time I’ve seen my mom so vulnerable and broken. My parents didn’t tell me anything other than my grandmother was in critical condition at the hospital, but with god's help she would overcome this hard time.
I sat down and someone else ripped out of theirs. They ran up to me and hugged me. I looked up to see Megan. "Megan I 'm scared it told me I was Eliza and I don 't know if it 's right" Megan bit her lip showing that she knew something. She grabbed me and we went out of the cave knowing my parents wouldn 't remember me.
One Saturday morning, I woke up at like 8am to the sound of my sister eating some chips or something. She usually likes to bother me in the morning, so I was surprised that she was doing something else. I just tried to ignore it and fall back asleep, but i couldn’t, so that’s when I got up to use the bathroom. I heard my sister finishing up her snack and getting another one. While I was in the bathroom, I heard a ton of crinkling and grunting, like my sister was lifting something up.
Showing up to school 20 minutes late with bags under my eyes and coffee in-hand, I offered a superficial apology and explained to my teacher that I “slept through my alarm again”. I refused to tell him the real reason I was late. Yet every part of me wanted him to understand that I went to school for seven hours the previous day, worked for six hours that same night, and stayed up hours before the sun was to rise again finishing homework. Then I woke up early the following morning to wake up my mother and ensure she got to her job on time. Being the oldest sibling at home, I took it upon myself to make sure my mom didn’t lose her job-again.
As a kid, my parents always taught me to stand up for myself and others. Basically they told me I always need to kindly put someone in their place. Whether I was part of the problem or not. As quoted, “If you see or hear something you don’t think is kind, saying nothing is just as bad as partaking. Don’t be afraid to stand up for someone in the same way you hope someone would stand up for you.
My first day of high school as a freshmen in a new level of education Is what I was thinking when I woke from slumber that morning in bed. Stepping foot on the campus wasn’t even the beginning, taking the school bus in the morning is where the first taste of being a freshmen and actually starting and being an high school student. I started to get really nervous and a sense of reality hit me. Walking towards the bus stop all I see is a huge group of high school students waiting around for the bus, calm and cool as I try to stay to be I approach the waiting area not knowing what to I’m getting into.
I stomp my feet up the stairs and head to my bedroom. My mother trails behind me. “Honey, please just talk to me. I want to discuss this with you.” “Mom, I don’t want to talk to you.
