Later on the 11th, Paul 's grandparents call to tell the family that the sinkhole at the school is on the national news. Paul is disappointed to learn that the sinkhole is smaller than he thought it was. Dad comes home angry and agitated because his office has been getting calls asking why the Department of Civil Engineering had approved putting the school over the sinkhole. Dad 's boss couldn’t be reached so he had to answer the questions.Paul was shocked because he had to go to school on Thursday.The next day, the Tangerine Times published spectacular pictures of the sinkhole. It also published a letter to the parents of affected students telling them about an upcoming meeting to give details of an emergency relocation plan.

My brothers got super bored that they went to the Goliath but not by themselves they forced me to go. Next, my idea was to go to the restroom but it was no use we were stuck in the line for about a whole hour. I felt really scared because I remembered that I used to watch videos about horrible accidents that happened on rollercoasters. At this point I could not do anything so I just decided to ride it and to just get over with it. Finally we got on and it started to move my hands were shaking because of how scared I was.

I was in dilemma wishing I never walked the face of the earth and I thought I would be doing everyone a favor just by taking my own life. I was going through a rough patch, every mistake and wrong thing that I had done in the past rose back to life; eating whatever shred of self worth that had left. I started performing badly at school, my two-year long sweet relationship with my girlfriend was brought to an end, I felt as if God had turned his back on me I could not handle the pain, my life was now a complete failure, it was a huge scar that I had to bear for

I had a BMI of 37 going into my freshman year of college and my physician warned me numerous times to change my lifestyle. I dismissed their warnings with youthful ignorance. However, there I was laboring away on that treadmill, with only one response to those thoughts begging me to quit, “This pain is nothing compared to how you felt that day.” My dad was never out of shape, but he also wasn’t as healthy as his physician asked him to be. That fact did nothing to stop the heart attack he suffered months before my freshman year at Iowa. There laid my dad, unconscious with tubes protruding

The evident pain of an appalling time where my mother was at her weakest, not knowing how she would support her four children after being laid off during the Great Recession of 2008, was suffocating. Having no father figure to look up to in my life, other than an illustration of a man leaving his family behind, was excruciating, especially at the boisterous stage of my innocence. In elementary school, I was suspended, received unacceptable grades, and was bullied. Growing up, I found myself isolated and disadvantaged in my institutional environments. I find that it was grossly unfair that the complexity of adulthood was initiated at the time of my childhood.

Moving, Starting a New Life. I was ten years old in fifth grade and my parents’ said “we 're moving to Idaho son”. I was depressed I knew I would lose my friends and my school. This was on my parents minds for a while, but I never thought they were serious. One day after the other we were packing, I never even told my friends.

I was already having problems that same day., It was a Thursday morning when these three kids walked up and said to me when they told me that it made my blood boil (it does not help when I was already in a really bad mood),From there on I was mad at people because i thought they looked at me differently, that no one cared about me that I was on my own. I was really mad at people I didn’t talk to anybody for about 2 weeks because I was hurting and shut everyone out. When people would ask what had happened to me why was I changing, it didn’t help that I was having problems and that I don’t have anyone that I would trust to talk about

Failure to Express From as far back as I can remember, shyness made me scared to speak up for myself. In fifth grade, I distinctly remember being unable or unwilling to speak with my teacher. I had had a skiing accident where I had broken my jaw in the mishap. The accident caused me to have to stay home from school for about six weeks. My teacher sent home work for me, so I diligently finished everything, in hopes of making my teacher proud.

That’s when I noticed all I have here is my mom, sister and father. From that moment I just hated living here but I knew all my parents wanted was a better future for me. The day to start school came and I was scared but I also wanted to know how school was going to be here. The first days in school were very hard, never really understood a word the teachers were saying and it was hard for me to make
