We chose to go to Moscow, because I feel better in flying, rather than driving about 6 hours to get Georgia. I uploaded a photo on Instagram with a quote ''Moscow, wait for us!!!'' from the airport. One guy who liked me so much saw that photo, and wrote me that he was going to greet us at the Moscow's airport. I told my mom, she got really angry, but I felt that she was also waiting for that interesting moment. Imagine a guy standing with two bouquets of red roses for me and my mom and also with a big grey Teddy Bear. That was so romantic for me, but i did not show that, because my mom was stressed a bit. She was thinking about what to answer my father because of that awkward situation. We were looking for the taxi we reserved, but we could not find it. So, that boy took us to the hotel we were going to stay, and it gave him and opportunity to know my place. Thanks to mom that she did not allow him to come closer me, and that was the last time I have seen him, because I now understand that I did not like him. However, that gentleman's approach inspired me to do well in the exam.So, finally we reached the hotel were my mother had reserved a room from Armenia. That hotel was so special, beacuse the exam was going to take place right there. In the morning when we …show more content…
I was shaking like a scared rabbit, and that was really hard to explain with words. I think everyone in this world has had that kind of feelings. There was nobody in front of that door asking my Passport. At that senconds I understood that the exam had already started, and no one can tell me what to do to get out of that situation. I was crying and beating the walls with my whole strength beacuse of the incapacity to take the exam. I left my mom there, in order not to make her feel the same feelings, but I think it hurt her much more, because she told that there is still one hour left for the exam. The whole problem maker was the program in iPhone, which changed the World Clock automatically. The time zone of Moscow was one hour ahead than that of Yerevan's. I was sitting on the floor and crying and beating myself as a crazy person. The instructors told me that I cannot get the overall grade, because the part of the listening passed, but the examination staff allowed me to sit there and check my knowledge. The results were like I got 6.5, 6, 6 from Reading, Writing and Speaking correspondingly. I thought there was no reason to complete the exam, and I did not even want to take it after that event. Meanwhile, later it was a kind of consolation for me to stay at home for a
Stages of Life in My Antonia In the past, critics have demoralized and brutalized every writer they could get their pen on. This is seen from criticisms of Henry Adams to William Butler Yeats. These critics critique everything about the writer and his/her works. For instance, many critics criticize Willa Cather's novel, My Antonia. Their criticisms lie on the basis that My Antonia is based on cyclical themes with no structure holding each of My Antonia's books.
In all honesty I wanted to go clear my mind, but I also wanted to stay home so I could cry and curl up in a corner. Hassan told me to go fix a bag and meet him down stairs I did as I was told even though I didn't have to. Once I got downstairs I saw Hassan talking to my parents. He was trying to convince them to let me go, and they agreed to let me go as long as I called. After they agreed to let me go listen told me that we were going to his house to see if his parents were cool with it. The one thing that he left out was that he wanted me to lie to his parents. I didn't want to, but I owed him after this whole trip thing. I had a long conversation with his parents and they decided to let him go. I'm not going to lie I wasn't thrilled but how bad could it be. In my mind everything that could go wrong was already being visioned which worried me more. Anyway before his parents could change their mind he grabbed my shirt and drug me across his house outside to the car. Later that evening we had been on the road and I had a flashback. I was in the third grade and I finally got this pretty girl named Katherine. I “loved" her and she felt the same in return, but like they say “All good things come to an end”. I was devastated my heart had a hole, but you get over it eventually I
Growing up is never easy, and neither is change. I often find these as consistent variables that can build up a city in the middle of a devastation, or create a wasteland from a utopia. All of us relate to “coming of age”.
I was called into admin with three managers sitting around. My department just passed the district walk-through a week before, the department was doing great, so I was curious to see what this meeting was about. My boss and bosses boss where sitting down, a lady from human resources was phone conferencing in. Defining moments in my life have helped shape my mindset. More so, it has allowed me to venture in a way to live my life with pure happiness and fulfillment. My defining moment was being let go of my job. I was completely devastated and felt like I was kicked sideways.
Growing up for me some would say it was rather difficult and in some ways I would agree. There have been a lot of rough times that I have been through. This has and will affect my life for the rest of my life. The leading up to adoption, adoption and after adoption are the reasons my life were difficult.
Exam number one. The test to start off the semester. Bombed it. What seemed to be so easy, all of a sudden, got extremely difficult. I went blank. Scientifically speaking, I had test anxiety. Next thing I know, I’m sitting with a F in the class. A pretty low F at that. But how? All of this “low grade clerical work” was such a breeze. It was like I forgot everything I did for the past two weeks. So of course I panic. I can’t go into college next fall with an unacceptable grade like that on my transcript! I make it a point to study hard for the next
I went closely to my grandmother, I kiss her and I told her I will come any holy that I get time. My mother is waiting outside the house. She carried, when she sows me, how I am skinny and weak. I run toward her. I kiss her and she kisses me. I told her not to Carrie, because I am strong, I will be going back to visit my grandmother during my holy days. She was happy the way I have changed through physical, mentally and behavior. The next morning my father took me to the school. Whenever I went do something bad I will remember the advice of my grandmother and the hard life of the rural area. I become good students, who always help his family, respect his teachers and performing good grade in the school. Schools close I use visit my grandmother. All the people ask questions about my father, where he took me. Rural area is kind of rehabilitation
It was 21 October 2004 when my parents decided to divorce, it was the day my sister Kafiya was born, I was 3 years old, and my sister Ugbaad was 2 years old. My mother was really frustrated, but I don’t know why. I went to her and try to give her a huge hug, so perhaps she might cool down, but she refused and pushed me away. After that, I went to my father, he was confused, and this time I didn’t try to hug him, but when he saw me he hugged me and cried a lot. To be honest, I use to love my father more than I loved my mother even today. My father stood up and prepared himself to leave. He went outside of the house and drove his car fast. I was worrying about what would happen to him and what he would do next. After my father left, my mother
We got off from plane and headed towards the exit. My cousins and my family case worker were already their waiting for us. I was so shocked and the same time I was so happy to meet with my cousins after 6 years. This days too when I went to airport reminds me of that day. We collect bags and headed towards my cousin’s house, I was so hungry and I asked my cousin “what kind of food you made” she knew that we love Nepali cosine so she had made Nepali cosine. We ate food after that I went upstairs to rest. I was so excited and little bit scared to be here and start my new life in USA because I knew that USA life is different than Nepalese life style, however that day was my best day ever in my life. I felt like my dream came true. I had a lot of things going through my mind. Like what am I going to do, what is best for me things like
It has been said, “The hardest part about growing up, is letting go of what you were used to; and moving on with something you’re not” (insert citation). Everyone grows up in different places, but it is the ability to move on that allows each person to grow. I have spent my fair share of time in different places, especially with being a ‘military brat.’ Places change people, not because they are a specific geographical coordinate, but because the people one comes across in the different places affects her. My life became what it is because I fell in love with new people and made memories in Oregon, Texas, Nevada, and New York.
Becoming a mom at sixteen was the hardest thing I have ever done. Trying to work, go to school and take care of my daughter seemed impossible. My mom was always there to support me, but from the moment I found out I was pregnant I was determined to do it on my own. When you become a mom at sixteen the paths you can take in life change, and you are no longer a teenage you become an adult really fast.
Moving from a highly diverse community to a less diverse community has to be the weirdest yet interesting culture shock I ever had to deal with. As a young child, I did not know about the outside world. I thought everyone rides the bus or the metro, graffiti on the wall is normal and traffic wouldn’t matter as much since everything I needed was within walking distance sometimes. There were shocking things I learned once I moved to Nebraska.
André and I met about two years ago in Sorbonne University of Paris, I was 21 years old and studied languages and he was 22 years old and studied Journalism. I was late for my class and was in a hurry, I didn’t look where I was going and I accidentally bumped into him, all my books fell just like in the movies, I looked at him, he was very handsome, he had blond hair, eyes of emerald green and a perfect bone structure. I apologized picked up my books and rushed over to my class, I figured it was the last time I will ever see him again, well except maybe on a Calvin Klein underwear campaign but not in person. Fortunately I was wrong, the next day we bumped into each other again in a small coffee near the university, he recognized me, and asked if he could seat with me, I agreed. We immediately clicked, we talked about our courses, teachers, friends and our origin, at first I was a bit hesitant if I should tell him that I was a Jew from Israel because of all the Anti-Semitic people in France, but I was and still am proud of who I am, and so I told him, and I was thrilled when he told me that he was Jewish too. After talking for two whole hours, he noticed that he was late for an appointment, so we exchanged numbers and went each one his different way. Since that day we started seeing each other regularly but only as friends, I fell in love with him very quickly, he was smart, funny, charismatic, good looking and he always made me feel better. The problem was that he...
“Why don’t you use your locker? You’re going to have back problems before you even graduate”. These are words that are repeated to me daily, almost like clockwork. I carry my twenty-pound backpack, full of papers upon papers from my AP classes. The middle pouch of my backpack houses my book in which I get lost to distract me from my unrelenting stress. The top pouch holds several erasers, foreshadowing the mistakes I will make - and extra lead, to combat and mend these mistakes. Thick, wordy textbooks full of knowledge that has yet to become engraved in my brain, dig the straps of my backpack into my shoulders. This feeling, ironically enough, gives me relief - my potential and future success reside in my folders and on the pages of my notebooks.
I have a very fulfilling feeling about what I have been able to accomplish in my life so far. I want the absolute best for myself and those close to me. I often go above and beyond to help those around me succeed and be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.
