This means that he supported me even when I didn’t do something he asked. He showed me respect and that he understood my situation by helping me find ways that would help me find time
And when things get harder or easier for me in life the things that he taught me I will always remember and never forget them this gave me a huge understanding of the people that just wanna become better, and those who dont wanna get better and achieve nothing.

This shows how the captain of the team was pushing the team, and my personal mentor would be my coach on the way he pushed my team to finally win a state championship from the last state title being over 30 years ago
Then he said it. The words that changed my life. He started by saying “I’m not your mom, you need to take full responsibility.” Then the emotions started coming out of everybody.
He taught me how to live. He taught me one of the most important lessons a person can hope to learn. He taught me to be grateful for what I
High School was difficult, I remember when I was applying to different colleges and I was told about Landmark College, after my guidance counselor told me and my mom that “she doesn’t have the grades to go to Med School” I still applied to my top choices as well as Landmark and got into them all, I also didn’t feel that I was even going to graduate high school. College was only hard since I struggled in school because of having an LD but I started off at Landmark College in ’09 and transferred a year later then came back a year after transferring, and during that time back at Landmark I had another surgery to move skin that was obstructing my left eye slightly, which went well. I also ended up becoming pregnant in ’12 and had an abortion since we didn’t know how NF was going to react to it and if it would get worse, the only thing I noticed after that was developing a tumor in my lower back that causes a lot of pain, but due to its placement is unable to be removed, but that’s okay.
When he told me the story it made me realize how many things we take for granted today and every day. It showed me how quickly something can happen, how something little can impact many people's lives, and how grateful we should
My mother and father have always wanted the best for me, like all good parents do. One of the many things that they expect from me is to receive a college education, something that they never had the chance to do. My parents always advise me to not to make the same mistakes as they did, to go to college so I can get a good job and not have to struggle in my life. With no alternative, my father had to drop out of school to help his family financially after his parents had gotten a divorce, and then he had received his GED.
Then around the mid-terms of sophomore year my grandmother after a trip to Haiti came back and she was admitted into the hospital. That day, I could not function and I could not do anything. I felt helpless and useless. During that time, I was outward about the situation and I was grateful for all those who reached out to check on me and gave me advice. Most suggested that I just pray, so I did
His daughter died during the war, and his wife shortly after, so he was pretty much alone before he discovered me, this shabby, scrawny little girl without a family, bearing a horrible curse like they all put it. The truth is, this curse saved my life, so I would consider it more of a blessing, but well… Most people don’t know
He used to take me to the courthouse and point at the judge and say “that will be you when you grow up”. It also brings to mind the power of believing in people. As a child all i needed was one person to motivate me and i tried my best to be the best at what i do. I see motivating as a great leadership
He always asks my siblings and I to take a few moments before we go to bed, while resting our heads on our pillows, to think about all the things we are grateful for and blessed with. Also, when we were younger, he used to tell us that when something bad happens, we should be grateful that it doesn’t happen more often, and that it could have been worse. We should use the bad times to remind ourselves of the good in our lives; no matter how difficult or minimal it may seem at the
He also taught me to stay motivated no matter how many times I wanted to give up because of my mistakes. I remember the day like it was yesterday even though it was eighteen years ago. This is one of the proudest moments in my life. It’s a lesson that I’ll never forget. Being taught how to ride a bike for the first time was exciting.
