The Protection From My Dummy Twin When my twin brother and I were little, we played imaginary games almost everyday.; such as an imaginary dog or imaginary enemies, it was fun. We were close, but we were not close at school because ever since we went to elementary school. I didn’t want him to be around me at school or accompany me when I was going somewhere, but now I have changed, and this is the story about how did I change. In the summer of 2014, the day that the bright sun was blazing, and bathed the streets in its glow. Walking on the street, I could hear the buzz of the cicadas emitting their somber drone of summer sweltering oppression. I was wearing a white T-shirt with some indigo flowers on it, and a pair of short jeans. It was the first day of my summer vacation, Sean and I were going to cram school so we got on a empty bus. I remembered it was the 235 number bus. We found two seats easily because the bus was empty. Besides Sean and I, there was only a lady who kept …show more content…
At first, I thought there was some problems with my Easy card so he kept staring at me, but then I found out there wasn’t any problem with my easy card, maybe it was just a little misunderstanding. However, he was still staring at me which made me feel awkward so I looked away. But when I turned my head, I saw the bus driver staring at my legs with his body leaning toward me. I could feel my face turned into blotchy red. There was about one and a half meters between me and the bus driver. It was really obvious that the bus driver staring at my legs because his movement quiet big and his face could almost touch my legs, which was really uncomfortable. Whenever I looked at him, he would sit back in his seat. But when I looked outside of the window, he would lean forward to me closely again, and he just kept doing this until we got off the
...tion camp. In both story and memoir the main characters are about 14 years old when they get put in the ghetto and camp. Another similarity is they both got a small portion or bread, food, soup and water and did not want to waste any of it. Also they both left on cattle cars to the concentration camps.
It was my senior year of high school, I was sixteen, getting ready to turn seventeen. It was my senior year of high school. I was not your typical girl wearing makeup everyday and worrying about getting dolled up for school. I did not play sports. Don’t get me wrong, I would get all dolled up if I had something special to do like go to a school dance. I had a part time job at Olive garden because my parents motto was “if you do not play a sport you need to work!” My mom used to say to me “you know Alana back in my time I was not able to work so you are very lucky you're able to work.
Walking out of our house, into the car and driving away to the bookstore, a little ways away we were being watched by someone.
The unpolished floors and graffitied lockers with pictures of the Beatles glued to them indicated to me that no summer cleaning had been done at school, for what seemed like several years. As I walked, a neatly folded piece of paper, which I placed in my pocket earlier this morning, grazed my outer thigh was not letting me forget its purpose. My palms were sweaty and all I could think of was that on the first day of school, I had decided to tell my crush that I liked her. What a stupid decision. I decided to wash my hands and then put my plan into action. My walk across the hallway continued till I reached the guy’s bathrooms. Just as I was about to push the door, it opened and out ran a blonde and petite girl. My crush. Her face was surprised and her hazel eyes were
It was the fall of 2010 and little did I know that my world was about to change drastically. We had moved back to Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2008 after living in Mexico, and I was starting to enjoy my life in the dairy state. My 6th Grade classes had just started at Bullen Middle School. It was right at this time when my world seemingly got flipped upside down. My parents had a family meeting and informed my siblings and me that we were moving to a small Iowa town called Orange City. I had feelings of nervousness, excitement, and sadness all mixed together.
I remember that at an early age that I was never alone, whether the reminder comes from family or strangers, I have always had a constant reminder that helped me to feel safe in the world, but in other people’s eyes, I am not an individual but I am only a half of a whole. When I was little there was a time when I didn’t know that being a twin, an identical twin at that, would hinder my growth as an individual. According to Burke, when asked what makes you unique her reply was “I don’t know”, followed with “because I have a twin.” When asked to elaborate as to why she doesn’t know, her response was “we’re compared and seen as the same person even though in some ways i’m different from her, like the fact that I was born with my own brain and
As I walk through the crowded mall with my sister, little children stare, most adults do a discreet double take, and some bold adults question us outright. “Wow, are you twins?” “Do you know you look the same?” “What’s it like to be a twin?” “Do you have, like, psychic powers, or something with each other?” These are the most common questions twins hear. Almost all twins don’t really mind them and sometimes the attention is cool. Mostly, we just smile tolerantly at each other and answer them as best we can. After all, we don’t really know how to describe being a twin. We have never known anything else. Nonetheless, here we are. So, as a person who might not know exactly what she is talking about, I will try to briefly explanation to the general public the experience of being a genetic quirk.
In the day's early morning, I went to a park in my neighborhood because my friend and I made an appointment to go to this park to play. I went to a no man's corner, where there are a lot of trees and flowers. When I was enjoying beautiful scenery, someone hugged from behind me forced me unexpectedly. On the one hand, he had pressed and held both my hands. On the other hand, he continually stroked my body. I was unable to repel. I was desperate at that time because that man's behavior was disgusting. To my horror, I could feel myself starting to cry. For his actions, I have already felt
Life in the middle school and high school was not easy for me. I had become an introvert, I still didn’t know how to be social, and I had very few friends. I was teased for being very quiet, and some people insinuated that I’m scared of fellow people. On the other hand life at home was difficult. My mother had become so bitter and pleased her was next to impossible. She became very harsh with my brother and me, and we were always scolded for even the smallest mistakes. Once in a while, my father would come for us and take us to the city he lived. I would look out of the windows as we drove out of town and would imagine how life in another city would feel like. I looked at the skies, and all I saw were promises of a better future. All my life I had lived in San
It was Tuesday and the day was draining away. I wanted to go buy new hair dye, but I knew it was too late. Careless, I got money from my piggy bank and asked my little sister Natalie to come along. I usually go out by myself but I decided to take her to feel more safe. Since my parents were not home yet I had to make this trip quick, so we took the bus.
As I was boarding the bus I looked up for a vacant seat. What I saw then
This old/new bus continued our route, and we all sat quietly, awaiting our stops. Everyone had a tired, almost forlorn look, as though they had been through much more than just switching buses. I did not have any concept of time as the bus chugged along, stopping occasionally to let people off, and all of a sudden I recognized that it was almost to my stop. I jerked out of the stupor I was in as the bus stopped in front of my apartment complex. As I gathered up my things to leave, I looked at my friends and said, "Well, this will make one interesting story at school tomorrow!"
It was the second semester of fourth grade year. My parents had recently bought a new house in a nice quite neighborhood. I was ecstatic I always wanted to move to a new house. I was tired of my old home since I had already explored every corner, nook, and cranny. The moment I realized I would have to leave my old friends behind was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I didn’t want to switch schools and make new friends. Yet at the same time was an interesting new experience.
I step onto the bus getting shoved by the people behind me. I race to the back of the large, bright yellow school bus with my friends, Sia and Faith, they sit in the larger back seat and I sit in the smaller one. Sia is a tall girl, not super skinny but definitely not fat. She wore her black leggings that she wore just about everyday. Her
I took my bag and walked out the class without looking at other students who were present in the class and laughing at me. I was walking along the sidewalk and thinking WHY THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME? …. WHY THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME?
