My mom was in pain from appendicitis but at the time she thought it was just a stomach virus or just a pain that would go away in a few days.Me and my brothers had to cook for each meal and we would put a plate full of food for her, but she never had an appetite to eat anything due to the pain.I just remember seeing my mom in the bed in a fetal position and that would make me and my brothers upset.When it's night time we all got ready to bed for school tomorrow we had to get early so we won't put any stress to my mom.When I got to school next morning all would think about is what's happening right now as am in school.

Of course, as any other young girl, I didn’t really know what real pain was. I mean the type of pain when losing someone, more specifically, having someone taken away from you. I remember everything like it had just happened this morning. Long story short, I had my dad pulled away from my arms due to immigration issues. I wasn’t easy going through that. I had to go to school with a smile on my face and let no one know what had just happened. Up to this day, I get choked up just thinking about it. It wasn’t easy then, and it's still not easy today. With all the pain going around, I never stopped to realize I wasn’t the only one who had experienced that. As I got older, I became aware that many of my fellow classmates had the same thing done to them, sometimes even worse.

When it was Friday night, 5 friends were making their way to a haunted house. These friends were Alex, Brennen, Tommy, Gerardo, and Zeke. For some reason these kiddos thought it would be cool to make a reenactment of Paranormal Activity and bring all this equipment to hunt down ghosts and get Cheetos on the way as well. Unfortunately they didn't know where they were going they found the motel on google maps. After the Paranormal gang was prepped and had everything ready they went out to Walmart for some extra supplies.

Brennen and Tommy went to go get camping equipment and Zeke rolled up with a snuggie and asked for it. Gerardo, for

Personal Narrative-Knee Surgery

“Do you think it’s time to wake her up?” “Maybe we can let her sleep for ten more minutes…” My parents thought they were being sneaky and quiet by talking in whispers, as if sharing a secret message that nobody else could hear, but I was already awake and alert. “Let’s go in.” I heard my mother’s voice coo as I braced my seven-year-old body for the terrible phenomenon about to occur. I curled up in a ball under my covers like an armadillo in the smoldering desert, as a warm tear slid down my cheek and a burst of light flooded the room. My parents walked in and shook my shoulder. I instantly started sobbing as I knew that this was something I did not want to go to at all. “This will be the worst day of my life,” I thought to myself, “...the day where I get rid of my benign tumor, the day I have knee surgery.”

About four years ago, I was packed in the backseat with my younger sisters, with my parents in the front seats. We were on the interstate heading to eat at Fuji and my mom says that they have something serious to talk to us about. The first thoughts that run through my juvenile mind is that there was a death, or that my parents were getting a divorce. There was a long, uncanny silence, when my dad, being the jokester he is, makes a joke that incorporates the fact that he has colon cancer. Not even at one of the toughest moments of his life did he show that he was in

Unfortunately, not all memorable events are pleasant. Although most people immediately think of a positive experience when asked, "What is your most memorable event?" The typical responses are happy thoughts, however; that is not the case at hand. By definition, bittersweet means both pleasant and painful; two emotions: sadness and happiness, endured at the same time. Hell with a silver lining describes it just as well, I believe.

Although all these symptoms were mild it was hard for me to deal with. Everyone around me including my family, friends, and boyfriend just brushed it off and said it was just emotions resulting from the family member’s health at the time. The trauma actually had a bigger impact on me than just emotions. Because everyone had brushed it off, I never spoke to anyone and it eventually got worse. By my family member being sick and in the hospital I was home alone.

I used strategy two by selecting details that support my intentions and omitting details that didn’t. In the first descriptions I omit some of the details that seem more negative like the muddy ground, the steep rock tails and the annoyances from other people on the trail. I try to see my experience from a negative person’s perspective, not just a negative person but, possibly just a person that is unfamiliar with their surrounding and might be slightly fearful or apprehensive to new areas. I used these detail in the next description to convey it as a more negative experience. I used strategy three and use words that frame my subject the way I want by, using words in my first description like: beautiful, interesting, all-encompassing to give

A vital element to changing emotional reactions is through is by recognizing the intrusive thoughts for what they are, thus depending on how much responsibility he or she has for taking preventative action. This cognitive approach helps reduce the distress and uneasiness that impose unwelcoming thoughts. Alongside this, behavioral therapy techniques desensitization (gradual exposure to the perceived threat) help the individual to control his or her automatic emotional thinking. I notice that I make assumptions that are negative towards myself. I tend to over-generalize the situations, thinking it is either my fault or that I am not good enough. There were many times last week where I did not react or express myself which may have lead to uncovering

Narrative Essay About Salvation

This experience was the hardest on me emotionally. As a child, you view your parents as almost invincible and losing them is never a thought that crosses your mind. After my mom had surgery, the procedure caused peritonitis, which is a very severe complication. At the time, I feared losing my mom, but Christ gave me peace in the situation. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (KJV, Phil. 4:13). Through the power of prayer and God, my mom survived the emergency surgery. Even the medical bills were miraculously provided for by many gifts from family and friends. “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” (Jeremiah 33:3). The possibility of losing a parent was the most difficult experience of my life; however, during this trial, I experienced enourmous growth in Christ. After my mom healed from her surgery, God called my father to Source of Light Ministries in Madison, Georgia. My family moved to Madison, which is where I would spend the next seven years of my life. My spiritual growth continued a little slower throughout those peaceful

Being a zookeeper was never an occupational aspiration of mine, but somehow, according to my supervisor, that is the position I had taken. In the summer of 2009, fresh out of graduate school, I spent a summer teaching at a local drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. I had two sections of students with ages ranging from twelve to seventeen. These students had been either court ordered to seek help or their families had admitted them to this drug facility. Many of them had been kicked out of school already because of their substance abuse issues and their home lives were atrocious. Many of these parents were addicted to the same vices as their children, and in some instances had even introduced their children to them. Needless to say they

Being one of five children, my parents are not currently capable of aiding in paying for college; leading me to working a full time job of 40+ hours a week in order to support myself. Unfortunately, during the midst of my last semester at UNCG I became quite ill, and cut down on my hours at work which left me struggling to pay my rent and without food most days. One night while I was visiting a friend someone stole my wallet to include my student id, an item needed for a prescription pickup at the student health center. I was unable to replace the card, seeing as I could barley pay my rent, and even though I was able to present documents stating that I attended the school, I was denied my medication, which made me even more ill. Over the course

When I was younger, I firmly believe that if someone was smiling they were happy. At this time I was around the age six. I held this belief because I was always around people who seemed happy. There was always laughter, smiles, and hugs. T.V. shows that I watch were filled with smiling faces and laughing groups of people joking around with each other. The people in my life were always so positive around me. But as I got older I grew a better understanding of what was going on.
