Bullying is a big issue in society. When authors put bullying into their books it helps people see that bullying is not unseen. In Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card the main character, Ender, gets bullied a lot throughout the book. At the beginning Ender gets his monitor taken out.
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.
Monday through Friday I stayed with my grandmother and great aunt, so that I could go to school. I was in elementary school at the time. I use to listen to my uncle play different types of music on his stereo so that he could mimic the sound with the instruments he was playing. I used to sing along with him dreaming that one day I would be able to sing just like the singers on the albums my uncle would play to. As time went on, my mother met a man that she felt was a good man.
The day I had knee surgery. On February 14th my mother woke me up with a smile on her face to lighten the mood a little, because the next morning would be the day that I would have my first surgery ever. I was really clam in the morning like any other day. It really didn 't hit me that I would have surgery
However, my birthday party was coming up, so we prepared for that and had an enormous going away/birthday party and it was amazing. The next day, I had to go to my room and pack up all of my belongings. Then, we got ready to move.
On March 28th, 2013 I was walking out of Wabash Middle School to go home. I had just gotten out of track practice looking for my mom’s car. When I got was walking out and looking I realized that my Grandma T was there to pick me up, and when I got in the car I heard the best news of my life. That my mom was going into labor, and we were going to the hospital. On the way to the hospital I was so happy to finally have a sister.
At first when I was told I would be able to speak my mind as to what my thoughts would be on the effects of what happened and what Mr. Wilson should receive as a time to serve I knew exactly what to say, but when you begin putting pen to paper you get lost and all the fears and anxiety continue at a high level. Below are what continue to haunt me and my children on a daily basis. I still recall the time you woke up and looked over at me with this crazed look in your eyes. You kicked me so hard in my right jaw and right upper arm. I fell into the night stand, then onto the floor next to the bed.
It was finally the day I got to see my mom after two whole months. She moved to Florida to find a house down there so I could move down with her. For two months it was basically misery. I have never been two weeks without her, let alone 2 months. I was heartbroken and she was too.
On my tenth birthday, my mom asked me to invite all my friends from school. Little did she know, that the entire school would show up. When I was my country at the age of fifteen to come to America, I was brought to tears at the airport. About thirty people who I still call my best friends came to say goodbye. Senior year of high school, I walked to prom because all my friends could not fit in the limo.
It was around 6 pm and my whole family was here even my grandparents and god mother. I am eating my favorite food right now eggs, black beans and rice and plantains with sour cream. I take my last bite of food and then I ask my mom “can we have desert now”. She walks to the kitchen and grabs my favorite cake, chocolate. She lays it to on the table and we all gather around and then my family begins to sing happy birthday.
I was in fourth grade when my sister, Pooja, was born. That morning I got dressed in my purple tank top and jean skirt. As I was getting ready my mother made my favorite chocolate chip waffles and served them with a cup of milk. Quickly shoving the food down my throat, I ran to the school bus. The first half of the day was the normal, everyday routine, but in the afternoon our classroom telephone rang
“I can’t go,” was a regular statement I used with my peers during my childhood. “Children should be seen and not hear,” was the constant response my parents gave me when I would push back. Having older parents is both a blessing and a challenge. They provided me with a foundation so comforting and soft, it would feel like jumping into a beautiful pool that’s already at perfect body temperature. I was always able to bounce back from life’s bumps, bruises, and beat downs.
When I was born on February 24, 2001, a whole new adventure for my family and I had just begun. After living a couple years of my childhood in India, we decided to move to the United states which was a country unfamiliar to me back then. I remember every minute of the prolonged plane ride to the United States. I asked my parents more than a million question about what life was like in the country we were going to. My dad use to travel to the USA every couple months, so he knew what life was like here and how different it was from India.
A teacher once told me to write about my moral compass as in absent assignment. I sat their baffled and suddenly realized that I truly do need to do some soul searching to find out why I do have hard time expressing my emotional empathy. Throughout my childhood and to this day I have always had hard time reflecting on my emotions. It is a difficult endeavor for me to fathom writing about the significant events, transitions, and turning points that have molded me into the human I am. As it is for many, I believe I do not warrant being talked about in such a large literature context.
Then 9 months later on February 16, 1999, at 3:10 am my precious son came out of my womb and placed on my chest. It was the most amazing experience ever, but also extremely exhausting thing ever! I was in the hospital for about another week till the doctor told me to go home, funny thing is that I got discharged on my birthday February 21, 1999, which I turned 16. At first, it felt like being a mother was easy, but in reality, it wasn 't because I also had to go to school plus he would always wake me up in the middle of the night, and be in an extreme of exhaustion. I started missing school more and more till I finally dropped out.
