My mother and father always worked even before they separated so my Aunt and Uncle took over as our caretakers.I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have to share a room with my brother and father while my aunt and uncle live in the other room so privacy doesn't exist in my home. My relationship with my parents is difficult, my father was never around much until now, but I don't really see him as my father but more of a friend and I only see my mother once or twice a week depending when she is available, but we still keep in contact outside of those days. During my K-12 school years, I made and kept a …show more content…
I realized that most of the people I cared about, actually didn't care about me because not once did they attempt to contact me. One of the biggest things I learned from this was learning to trust myself and putting myself first. I was always trying to get my friends and family opinions first and trust them. But I never actually got what I wanted, right? After high school I was going to go to Skyline college because that's where all of my friends were going and where my parents wanted me to go.I was going to study fashion and makeup because I felt that what suited me best but I never was sure or fully okay with any of those decisions. It wasn't until I moved to a different school where I learned that for the first time I wanted to continue school and I wanted to go to college as far as I could from all of my friends and make my own decisions. I felt that this would be good for me and it would be something totally different and unexpected for me, but I actually feel excited about my future now. I let go of the fashion and makeup industry and moved to actually doing something that I never thought I would love to do. I want to become a travel nurse and help people and also travel the world because what's not better than helping people and also getting to explore the world
theri Gods the angry Africans had to find a way to practice thier religion. They astutely hide theri religion behind Catholic religious practices and saints. The religion is therefore called "Santeria" or the way of the saints. According to Migene Gonzalez-Wippler Santeria is neither a cult or a sect. "It is a monotheistic religion, where God is seen as the creator of the Universe and of humanity. The orishas, syncretized with catholic saints, are repositories of God’s powers and the mediators between

Jesus Sanchez, a customer at one of the shops on Calle Ocho said, in 1996, "It doesn't matter if they're Cuban or Mexican or American. As long as they have talent and vocation" (Menendez 2). On the other hand, Spanish language radio announcer Alberto Gonzalez of WRHC-AM said, "We Cubans may not own all of Miami, but we do [own] Calle Ocho" ("Walk" 2B). He said this during the controversy in 1989 over the inclusion, in the walk of fame, of Spanish singer Raphael, the first non-Cuban to receive a star.

Canseco also called out former Texas Ranger Rangers teammates, Ivan Rodriguez, Jose Gonzalez, and Rafael Palmeiro. All the players named above are potential Hall of Famers.

Europe and Southwest Asia. As Christianity was later adopted by the Roman Empire, much of Europe became the focus of conquest for Roman Christianity, though much of this was due in part to the fall of Western Rome. Rome and beyond Justo L. Gonzalez documents this spread of Christianity into Europe through the avenue of Rome’s influence. He quotes from a Roman Citizen, Paulus Orosius who condenses this historical phenomenon into his own words. He thoughtfully writes, "If only to this end have

maybe even as listeners, we almost become just like the music which we hear. As TS Eliot wrote; “Music heard so deeply that it is not heard at all, but you are the music while the music lasts.” The song which I will be focusing on is “addiction” by Enrique Iglesias and it has also reached the top rankings since it came out. But the main question is why I like this song more than other. I will be discussing about the song “addiction” for why it is considered valuable and more specifically I will be

Should Elian Gonzalez go back to Cuba or stay in the United States? This seems to be the question drenching the media on a constant bases. Every newspaper, news broadcast, and magazine seem to have a story about Elian. Titles like “Elian’s Grandmothers are coming to the US”, seems kind of silly if you read the headline literally. I don’t mean to be cold but why do we care if Elian’s grandmother is coming to the US? Thousands of grandmas have come to the US everyday, but we don’t hear about them
