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.

Losing someone in life is not always associated with death. My grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson 's disease at the young age of 48. In time, this disease took my grandmother’s life both mentally and physically; therefore, taking her away from me as I knew her. If seen today, she looks like my grandmother; but after interacting with her, it wouldn’t seem as if a 59 year old woman was talking. My grandmother’s disease was a major obstacle for me to get over in life, but eventually I overcame it and made the best out of the situation.
It was early 1995 when I first turned my life over to God, at this point in my life I had lost hope of moving forward in life. Got a call that my best friend had been killed due to a gun shot to the head I just felt like I had lost my entire world I decided I wanted to live right and that the party life was not right for me. On Sunday I attended church and walked up to the pew and dedicated my life to God.
When I was a wee laddy I loved soccer more than anything in the world. Well to be honest I could care less about soccer I just loved talking with my best friend who would always be on the same team as me. I was actually quite afraid of the ball, at least that’s what my parents told I can’t remember I was only 3. I would up until about U6 just run away from the big crowd of kids trying to kick the ball and talk with the goalie or my friend. And this day, I still remember quite fondly, was the best day of my soccer career (so far).
A Disease Suffered by a Family After getting my spanking, I sat in my bedroom on a cold, rainy, dark night and pondered why do people get sick? Why do some diseases have a cause, but no cure? I lived with a family member that suffered from a very depressing, harmful, and excruciating disease. One of the hardest challenges I have ever had to do in my live, is watch someone so close to my heart, slowly lose the person they once were. It changed the person I knew by attacking him, as well as the family members caring for him.

“Here is the tragedy: when you are the victim of depression, not only do you feel utterly helpless and abandoned by the world, you also know that very few people can understand, or even begin to believe, that life can be this painful. There is nothing I can think of that is quite as isolating as this” (Andreae). I began to struggle with depression when I was in my second year of middle school. People always assume a major life event is what caused it, but nothing had changed: my dad moved out of state when I was in the fourth grade, I was friends with the same people I had been friends with the previous year, and I had never been very close with my step-father. But none of this was new to me, so what had caused this change in my mentality?
One of my experiences with failure took place when I was in fourth grade. There were many problems accumulated and I was a child who needed people to see if I did my homework or study for the test, because I couldn’t concentrate and was distracted by anything in the room. My brother also had problems that year, he needed more attention because he didn’t get along with his math teacher and my Mom was always after him with the homework; otherwise he would have failed Math at the end of the year. In fourth grade, the teacher that was assigned to us was one of the strict teachers that were in that school
