496 Words2 Pages

The talented musician Eddie Money once said “I’ve got two tickets in my pocket, now baby, we’re going to disappear.” What if we all had that? Two tickets to wherever you wanted to go. No one to stop you just you and someone special to you disappearing. If I had the choice to go anywhere in this world, it would be to have one more night with my dad in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Baton Rouge is my birthplace and me and my dad shared a bond with that city. It is where he wanted me to be raised, go to college, and raise my family. He dressed me up in the gold and purple ever since I was a toddler. Imprinted the plays of the tigers and their route running so I could watch the games with him and fully understand. Sitting on the couch on a cold brisk november evening watching LSU play their rival the Crimson tide of Alabama. With cheers and boos howling out of my dad’s mouth as we scored or let go of …show more content…

He himself went to LSU for 2 years and then ended up dropping out, but ever since his goal was to get me into LSU. Flying him to Baton Rouge would put a light in his eye that i would never forget. I would fly him there and take him front row to a LSU game. That is all he always wanted is to see a game live with me and he was never able to accomplish that, and being able to fly him there and take him to a game would make his everything, he would be so grateful. And knowing that i was able to do such a thing would make me feel accomplished. People take the places they 're from for granted or do not appreciate as much as they should. I reside in Houston now, but i will always know Baton Rouge is my home, and that’s where i want to raise my family and be able to look up and feel my dad smiling down upon us, this trip would have meant the world to him and i hope one day i will be able to look down while me and my son go to a LSU tiger game and see the pride and enjoyment that we had and what he has passed

I was never interested in tractors until I went to Louisiana last summer. Going to Louisiana was one of the best things that has ever happened to me during my life. Going to Louisiana was so awesome being able to watch and drive enormous diesel tractors and watch my uncle cut rice with a combine(which is a machine that is used to cut rice on a farm. It helped me learn about rice and the machines that farmers use to cut rice. I got to see where the rice is stored after it is cut, my uncle dries out the rice to get all the moisture out before they sell it and take the rice out of the rice bins.

The community I grew up in central Texas celebrated my heritage, honored differences in culture, and fostered personal growth and self-discovery. My parents, with the strong work ethic they developed on their family’s farms in Ghana, encouraged my brother and me to work hard and find ways to use our skills to be of service to others, which wasn’t hard to do growing up in Austin with its many avenues to become involved and take care of the community, whether it was helping to direct families through the Trail of Lights at Zilker Park during the winter or raise money for educational programs for underprivileged kids in the area through working the concession stands at the University of Texas at Austin. It was this collaborative mindset that Austin

Growing up in southwest Atlanta, Georgia, I have been surrounded by ‘black success’ instead of just ‘success’ for the duration of my life. The blacks in my area are equally as successful, if not more accomplished than, the non-blacks, but we are always titled separately and put into a captive box. The box we are held in told young girls that they should aspire to be athletes, cosmetologists, or plain unemployed. The same box told young men that they could only be considered “somebody” if they were able to catch a ball well. These are occupations we would ‘best be suited for’; these are occupations that perpetuate the box.

Considerably, I decided to continue going to school with my friends.
