Breaking the Cycle 16, 17, 18, 19. These numbers are how old my grandma, my aunt, my mom, and my sister were when they got pregnant with their first child. Most of the women on my mother’s side were teen moms without a college degree, some without a high school diploma and all were single. I plan to not continue this cycle. Growing up, I saw how my mom struggled to find a career she enjoys with just her high school diploma, even though she is a very intelligent person.
Las Vegas is considered the city of sin and believe me there is plenty of sin going around. It is a place filled with laughter, cries, tragedy, and loss. I have been living in Las Vegas my entire life minus a few years where I lived in Reno, Nevada and Monroe, Louisiana as well. My mother was the light of my life. We shared laughs together that were occasionally accompanied by tears.
7 Ways Losing my Mother Changed Me Forever I will never forget the details of that morning. Apparently this is referred to as a “flashbulb memory” - where you recall the experience of learning about the news of an event - and not as much the actual event itself. Where you were. What you were doing, and so on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Over the years I knew that I was adopted, I knew who my mom was, but I didn 't know my dad or who he was. So for a while I didn 't care. Then as I went into my teens I started to feel like something was missing, and I realized it was the fact that I didn 't know my dad but of course I didn 't show that it bothered me.
The biggest moment in my life where things weren’t what they seemed to be is when my “Dad” had DNA testing to see if he was really my dad or not. My mom and him were not together anymore but I still seen him every weekend so I never thought anything was wrong.
No one wants to think about life altering events in which they have not controlled; I am no exception. The untimely and devastating death of my mother occurred without warning or preparation. Looking back, there was nothing to prepare for; she was only fifty-one years old. Could I have been more prepared for the loss of my mother?
Going to high school with my mom working there has fundamentally changed my high school experience for the better. Besides the obvious perks such as easy access to lunch money and another place to put my books, having my mom work there has changed the way that I see education and the workplace interact. It made me realize that the staff of a school, from the teachers to the classified staff are instrumental in making students succeed. If the staff in the school have a positive attitude and have an active role in the student's education when necessary, as I have sometimes learned the hard way, it can make all the difference in the world in that students success.
My parent's divorce was a great impact on my life and how I was raised. They split up when I was about 10 years old, me and my brother became split up because each of us wanted to live with the opposite parent. My life felt like it had been flipped upside down, and even to this day it continues to feel that way. Living with my mom rather than my dad has showed me many things. Rather than growing up and getting everything handed to me, I had to work and earn things for myself.
In my experience growing up with my father always in my side definitely help me be a better person, that’s why I always imagine how would it be if my father is not there? I encounter different people everyday trough
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.
My mom lost her dad when she was older, but it still had a big impact on her. I think that my grandpa’s death was one of the most difficult things my mom has gone through. My grandpa or my mom’s dad passed away February 6th 2004. My moms dad had a heart attack when he was in the car.
The proper development of a child is very crucial to shape the personality of who he/ she will be when they grow up. Parents play a very important role in this development of the child. It is their duty to provide the child a proper environment to grow and flourish in the right manner. Just how bricks are the fundamental blocks of a building, in the same manner the parents contribute in building the society. Due to her importance in the life of a child, the influence of a mother lasts for a lifetime.
It was not until the night my father officially moved out that my life would change dramatically. Now being apart of a single-parent household, my mom now had to juggle the bills that previously relied on a two-parent income. It was not
Home Me, my brother and my parents have only moved once. My first home was an enormous 3 floor house in Lauro de Freitas, there I lived for the first 10 years of my life. I loved living there but we had to move because school and work were too far away from home. We went from living in a large but insignificant house in a small city to living in a 37-floor building in a 6 building condominium in Horto Florestal in the city of Salvador, we became more insignificant than a fish in the middle of the ocean.
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.
