Recommended: My birth story Essay

I was born to my amazing parents on September 20,2001 at 10:38pm. I was 7lbs 2oz and 19 ½ inches long. My parents didn’t know I would be walking at 8 months old and be climbing everything. I was super tiny and climbed everything. My parents and aunt started calling me “Houdini” because I could get out of any car seat, I would figure out how to get out of my car seat without unbuckling it then sometimes I would climb to the front seat and sometimes I would open the door and my parents would pull over, give me a spanking, buckle me back up, and shut the door and keep driving. That’s just one of the many things that makes me, me. Based on my deep map I’m going to share about the family I have, the transitions of moving, the sports I play, the

    The second family that I interviewed was the Lyles family. Both Bro. Scotty, the father, and Mrs. Yolanda, the mother, participated in the interview and three of their children were in the room.

    A violent environment and family reunification plays a vital role in driving children to abandon their home country, but crime, gang fears and hostility seem to be the strongest factors for children’s decision to emigrate. According to Elizabeth Kennedy. This is especially true for most young males, who have no other choice but to join vicious gangs, or leave their homes in hopes to find a job that allows them work half the day and focus on their education the other half in order to achieve a better opportunity of life. According to Sonia Nazario, “One in three children lists family reunification as the principal reason to depart home. Not surprisingly, over 90 % of the children she interviewed have a family member

  • Migration Essay

    1646 Words  | 4 Pages

    Migration is an arduous process and can be a stress-inducing experience (Aroian & Norris, 2003) that can lead to numerous social and mental health issues varying from social isolation, depression and anxiety (Blair, 2000). Alongside migration comes the complex and lifelong endeavor of acculturation, defined as the process by which individuals or groups transition from one or more cultures into another (Cainkar, 2000). Although Arab immigrants have been migrating to the United States since 1854 (Miller, 1976) and may currently number more than two million today (Nydell, 2012), discussion of the Arab American populations was, until recently, conspicuously absent from the literature. This article will first explore the reasons for immigration as it impacts the way this population assimilates to their host country. It will then provide a description of the challenges and difficulties this population faces, with a focus on the source of the post immigration stressors they undergo and the impact it has on their acculturation process. Finally, it will explore the use of an existential approach in treatment with an Arab-American client resisting assimilation to the new host country due to an inability to cope with post-immigration stressors.

    This essay will explore the role gender has played in the life of my father, both in relation to him and his masculine identity and his experiences of fatherhood. My piece is based on both the experiences I have had growing up and a short interview I had with my father a few days ago. I will attempt to critically analyze the information I obtained aided by the course readings and the various concepts discussed in class with respect to the male identity and how it is affected both socially and culturally. Such concepts which are to be discussed are father - infant bonding, masculine identity, gender policing and gender division of labor. I will also attempt to understand how these concepts apply to my father’s life and shaped his masculinity and in turn my own.

  • Families In The 1950s Essay

    413 Words  | 1 Pages

    Families in the 1950’s are much different than now. In the 50’s the majority of women were married and having kids by the age 20. Most women now get married around the age 27 and they don’t have kids right away. Not only is marriage different now but so is divorce. Stephanie Coontz states in her article, “What We Really Miss About The 1950’s,” that “ninety percent of all households in the country were families in the 1950’s, in comparison with only 71 percent by 1990. Eighty-six percent of all children lived in two-parent homes in 1950, as opposed to just 72 percent in 1990.” There are many different kinds of family structures that are present now. Nuclear, single-parent, adoptive/ foster, same-sex, and blended families all exist. Many people still believe that perfect 1950 families should be the only type of families that exist. The perfect 1950 nuclear white family is still

    Blended families and what it is too me. When I was a little girl my mother and father were together growing up, but my father was away for a long period of time doing truck driving. So of course, how could I blame my mom for wanting a divorce when the two of them never really got to see each other.

  • Family Transition In The Family

    706 Words  | 2 Pages

    After reading about the family transition and change, it hit me that these families that are going through a divorce need to put their children first, and what it is going to be like when they have to adjust to a new lifestyle where their parents are not together anymore. “The central assumption is that divorce is a crisis of family transition which causes structural changes in family systems” (Ahrons, pg. 533). Transitioning is going to be a hard time for these children because their whole life is changing, and it puts a strain on the family because of all the stress. It is so sad that “Our culture presently provides largely negative role models for the divorcing family” (pg. 534). However, the most important thing to do is to keep a positive

    My liife I would describe as insane, crazy, complicated, accomplished, and blessed. I have lots of things to write about but let's start with my beggining childhood. I can remember when I was just four years of age and standing next to my cousin when he "accidentaly" shot my mom. I just remember hearing this loud (bang). Next thing I know I heard the car stop and then everyone start screaming. From then on out it was just a big blur. The funny thing is that I can remember my aunty taking me to the hospital to see my mother but I would not go near hear because I was scared of all the medical supplies and the staples in her stomach. Yeah I know, crazy right? I was young and lots of thing scared me! But I can say as a child I coudld not have been more happy to see her. Knowing that she was ok gave me a a feeling of relief and comfort. Now throught this story I am going to skip around mainly because I can't remember some of my childhood. Now let's talk about my most favorite part of my child hood. Till up about the age of ten I used to get everything I wanted. Mostly because I was the only child. Oh how I loved Christmas, my birthday, easter and any other thing where I recieved gifts. Yeah as a kid everyone doesn't think of the true meaning of the these holidays. But it was nice to have al those gifts and get everything you wanted. Haha, I have always been spoiled. But when I acted like a spoiled brat that's when my Grandmother would get on to me. Yes, my grandmother's ended up raising me. But that's a long story asside itself. I remember going to the family reunion when I was seven and it had been my first time away from home we lived in Oklahoma but ended up traveling to Atlanta, Georgia for the reunion. Boy was...

    It was December 4, 2014 and it was snowing outside. I was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework. All my family was downstairs, so I was all alone. My English teacher told us to write a paper about how I am different from my classmates. I was thinking about what in my life makes me different and slowly my whole life was playing like a movie in my head. The first memory that popped into my head was my fourth birthday party. It was supposed to be the best birthday ever. My dad was going to come. It was February 24, 2002 at my birthday party. There were so many people there, but I was so focused on my dad coming, no one else seemed to matter. My cake was pink and yellow with a bicycle on it. I had a red and blue inflatable that kids were

  • Reflection Paper On Physical Development

    1168 Words  | 3 Pages

    My world was very small. I was the child of a single parent and momma often worked two jobs to make ends meet. We lived in front of a woman and her husband in a small rock house. When my grandparents passed away about the time I had turned seven, I can remember going to their house and asking if they could be my grandma and grandpa, they were my extended family. My mother, and my extended family (grandma, grandpa) were my microsystem. Living out in the country and not having access to other children to play with. I was always around older people, mostly women, they were my mesosystem. I learned how to work hard and developed a large portion of my personality from my mother and grandma. In school I was painfully shy and kept to myself. I did not hang out with anyone because I just didn’t fit in. I didn’t have the fifteen year old mentality that I should have had. Everything around my house was about work, work and more work. There was no time for fun at all, and if I had fun I felt guilty. I had no idea about who I was or what I would grow up to be. No one had ever talked to me about going to college. I thought I would grow up to get married and have kids and work a so, so job the way my mom had done for all those years. As I look back on my childhood, I now realize that there were many things that shaped who I am physically and mentally. Reading over the bioecological model helps me to see that

  • Extended Family Reflection Paper

    I think my own family is considered an open system. I feel like we hold no secrets and we are able to get what we need to out on the table. I’m comfortable talking to my family about whatever. We usually are open to new ideas and can handle change well. The only few closed things I can think of are if there is a money issue, or if there is a health problem in extended family. My parents always talk about things with each other first, before informing my brother and I. I guess that is still considered being open, I think my parents feel they need to take control of the situation before they inform my brother and I.
