A shiver runs down my back as the person I love is now front infront of me. All I can see is the most beautiful face I see as I lean in as I give them the first and last kiss in this chapter in our lives. To get to this point I guess we will have to back up. It all started with my parents having to give me up at the younge age of ten years. I won’t go into too much detail, but they weren’t able to take care of me properly so the government took me. So I was put into a foster home, though was more like an adoption because the women didn’t foster any other children. As the years went on I started to get a better understanding of what type of person she was. Let me just say this once, she is very close minded to the new generation and their ways. …show more content…

It doesn’t look like nothing.” “Yeah I’m sure.” They kneeled down to my hight and with a soft touch I’ve never known touched my shoulder and said soothingly, “Hey, if there is something bothering you… you can always tell me. I promise not to tell anyone.” I stayed quite unsure of how to respond. “In fact I’ll let you into a little secret, I’m a non-binary pansexual with the pronouns obviously of they, them, and theirs.” Startled by them saying that I jumped out of my seat, making it hit the ground with a loud thud. I looked over at them tilting my head.”Yeah it’s true, believe it or not.” I motioned them to come closer, “It’s only fair now if I tell you one of mine. I’m an asexual. With pronouns of she, her, and hers.” I blushed a I looked down. This would be the first time I told anyone of my true sexuality. It had been a whole year, twelve months, of us being friends and becoming closer. By now my foster mother has got a bit suspectish of me and my only friend getting too close. If I’m being completely honest I wouldn’t mind. If only I could cut my hair short and tell her about my true feeling and my foster mother about my sexuality, but sadly I can’t do that other ways I might just get kicked out. I just have to wait one more year until I’m eighteen then I can life on my

    In loving you, I am slowly learning to love myself, something that has never happened before. I’m always so happy around you, my heart doesn’t feel heavy in your presence. My walls are completely down for you, being so vulnerable is a scary thought, though I know I can fully trust you to be there for me. In the past, I have given pieces of myself to people who did not deserve them, my heart to people who used me, looking for love in shallow places. From the moment I met you, I knew you were different. I could tell that you were a soft and sweet boy that wasn’t only with me for what I could do for you. You showed me that love can be pure and untainted with good intentions. I know I’m not the best girl in the world, but I’m always trying to be the best girl for you, doing my best to make you happy in the small things. My bed has never felt empty with just me in it before, though now when I sleep alone, it feels as though you should be next to me. I crave your warmth. There is no better way to wake up, than to wake up to your sleeping face, the handsome lines and curves of your skin that create the

    “I believe the best service to the child is the service closest to the child, and children who are victims of neglect, abuse, or abandonment must not also be victims of bureaucracy.

  • Foster Care System Essay

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    To many outsiders, the foster care system may appear to be a safe haven for those children that are abused or abandoned by their birth family. This is correct, but the system with which it is based, has many flaws. A background check is mandatory for all foster parents, but a test to see if a child 's temperament matches that caregiver 's parenting style, is not. Now, this is seen as a minor issue, but there is not enough evidence to support this. Plus, there are many other, much worse reasons, why the system is not perfect. Altogether, the foster care system and a multitude of its rules are flawed and may actually be negatively affecting foster children.

  • Personal Narrative Essay: Growing Up With A Foster Home

    933 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up with a mentally ill, schizophrenic mother, I have experienced homelessness. Time to time spent under bypasses, abandoned buildings and eating food from trash bins. My mother often left me to fend for myself at a young age when emotions are beginning to bloom. Growing up like that I did not receive the correct education. The loss of hope feeling came when I moved into my first foster home thinking to myself these aren't my parents. Going to my very first school, not having proper vocabulary nor not really knowing how to speak without stuttering, first thing I did was run, run away from the school and ran away from foster family to only be walking the same streets my mom wondered at night, (not soliciting like her). As I grew older my options were limited. I chose not to be like my mentally Ill, jobless, drug addicted mother. I will be

  • Early Childhood Creativity Essay

    1441 Words  | 3 Pages

    Early childhood education is an issue that is examined both by media and academic professionals, both of which are represented by Alison Gopnik, a writer and professor (Gopnik, 2013). Gopnik (2011) found that over the years, parents and teachers work to their fullest to instruct children to read at very young ages. It can be Interpreted that reading skills take priority over creative skills, since children are instructed to read even in the womb (Gopnik, 2011). “Thus, the pressure is rising to make kindergartens and nurseries more like schools” (Gopnik, 2011). This pressure has come from the law since 2001, when preschools were pushed to become more academic (Gopnik, 2011). Creativity is a key component of success in later adulthood for problem-solving and cognitive abilities (Plucker, 2010). Creativity used to be the central focus of education studies (Plucker, 2010). At the turn of the century, and more recently, problem solving took first place along with creative thinking (Gruber, 2011). This essay will prove that the current education system tends to eventually pull children away from creativity. It will demonstrate how there is a greater amount of creativity in younger children as opposed to older children. This will be shown through the theories of Howard Gardner and Jean Piaget. In order to prove that education has moved away from a creative focus, this essay will examine the three phases of creativity, multiple intelligences and the U-shaped curve by Gardner, as well as Piaget’s constructivist theory and beliefs on retrogression, which is the idea of growing to show how we eventually pull away from visual art (Nolley, 2010). While this paper focuses on the development of visual arts in reference to the works of Howard Gar...

  • The Story Of My Life Essay

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was on a Friday morning at 4:30 A.M. that happiness and joy filled the hearts of both my parents. I was born on November 29, 1996 at Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale Florida. My parents had five children, and among the five children that they had, I was the third (or middle) child from them. It started off as two boys, then I came along as the first girl, after it was another boy, then finally, another baby girl; so total was three boys and two girls. The way that my parents lived and treated each other was the same as if any other married couple that loved each other so much. They’ve gone through a lot to get to where they are now today, but they made it and along the way had us five children. They have been really strong with each other which made them only have the five of us and no other step children. My mom is a great cook and enjoy cooking for us; this is probably where my passion for culinary comes from. My dad is an amazing tailor, he is very good at making our clothes, and my passion for fashion probably came from him. My dad is also a teacher, one of the best math teacher I know, he is passionate about his job and his family is the center of his universe. I cannot finish this chapter without mentioning my grandmother, I was lucky enough to have ever met. I had spent part of my life time with her, like the rest of the family she is sweet, my grandmother Abelus,
