LeBron James states, “I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It's where I cried. It's where I bled.”
It was the last inning in our all-star game, and we were losing 10 to 8. Our team had 2 outs and we couldn’t get the third. Our pitcher was doing bad, throwing all balls, while all of us in the field were tired, ready to fall asleep at any moment. There goes another walk. They score again.
I am from where people cheer as the quarterback throws a touchdown. I am from where rooms filled with the smell of nachos, from where the spicy taste of buffalo wings fill my mouth. I am from where the Jets are a common favorite, from where everyone watches Ryan Fitzpatrick throw a deep pass, as the man in the number 15 jersey catches it for a touchdown. I am from where multiplication
My ambitions are to be the first, the first to invent, research and to write, I stand imperfect, I live life flawed but I remain determined to overcome my flaws. Talking about the firsts, my influences start with the firsts, Amy beach is the first female composer in the United States. Her piece for solo piano named “Eskimos (1907)”, is such a worthy example of exoticism. At first I was against the idea of a non-native composer trying to create a piece with foreign melodies, but Beach did a prodigious job of keeping the melody true to its’ origins.
I was born in New Orleans, but raised in Brooklyn. For several reasons my parents decided to leave NOLA shorty after my birth. From then on, I was raised in New York state; more specifically Brooklyn. It wasn't until the age of sixteen that I finally returned to my home city. My parents had just divorced and for that reason, my mother no longer wished to stay in New York.
Since birth through the age of 15, my life has taken place in Jersey City, New Jersey. Born and raised only 9 blocks away from the hospital I was born in. My family moved to Georgia only 2 years ago, since then many things have changed in our lives. Most of my family still lives in New Jersey and New York so I often go back to visit them.
I was born in New York City New York City was a cool place to be at. I left New York City at a young age The reason I had to leave New York City is because my dad had a better job position in Houston Texas with more pay and besides he didn 't like the cold weather anyway. At first my mom didn 't want to leave her family in New York. My dad to beg her to move to Houston.
Full Circle It was my senior year of high school and everything was going as planned. I had already been accepted into various colleges to study Math Education. This was the only career I had ever considered. Until now.
Most people belong to a family. Whether they like the people in their family, or not, really depends on the individual. Let it be known that “…all families can be looked at as dysfunctional; they just vary in terms of the degree and severity of dysfunction” (Shelley). Unfortunately, I can apply several dysfunctional family concepts to my most intimate, personal relationship-my marriage. Thus, the following is a compilation of dysfunctional family perceptions that I can apply to my own life.
It’s only Wednesday, but I am getting ready for the holidays! Exchanging gifts with friends, I was gifted the most hideous Christmas sweater with a TV theme. It’s a knitted, ugly sweater with the colors of the season. The front has a picture of a TV set with monsters on the screen looking corny. If that wasn’t ugly enough, it’s been personalized to include famous TV actors making weird faces on the back.
During my personal time I often find myself reading, watching TV or simply trying something new most of the time I am Keeping up with the Kardashians or reading about a Vampire but other times I am reading Hillary Clinton’s biography or watching the Republican debate on YouTube. Unlike most young adults my age, I focus the majority of my time on political debates and new technology. Although I enjoy keeping up with my fictional novels about vampires, werewolves, and fairies or the American royal family, the Kardashians, I would much rather be gaining information on the future American President. Most people will vote for their party, the next group will vote for Clinton, either because she is a female or a familiar name to Americans, or
Our family’s ability to adjust was going to be put to test. We faced the biggest challenge in our lives when we moved to the USA. It was very hard to leave our childhood life in Mexico, those years were priceless. We still carried in our minds those special memories of child naughtiness. We did not have toys to play with; instead we had animals to feed and to take care, those chickens, ducks, caws, sheep were very demanding.
This is about a culture I was born into and raise by my parents.it is discipline culture made me who I am today being a Somalian American. It was easy at first, but my unique name ask people question like what are you so I just tell them I am Somali American. I was lucky I was born not there when the violence all that started to really happen. It’s getting better I visits there when I was young it was nice peaceful when I visited there.
Hey, I’m Zach! I’m twenty-six years old and living the single life in Southern California, where I was born and raised with my two younger brothers. I’m 5’10, with light blue eyes, shaggy brown hair, an athleisure build, and quite a few tattoos.

What people tell you is always true. They never lie. No one ever tells half a story for their own personal gain. This is not the world society built up, not now and not ever. It is a sad fact, but it won’t change.
