On July fourth a blessing came along, a new baby sister. Before our lives were so quick and simple, now it is filled with cries and dirty diapers. Endless nights of barely getting enough sleep or taking care of her when I needed to be doing homework for school. Don't get me wrong we love her dearly, she just changed our lives completely and I wasn't prepared for it.
Last october, my mom kept her pregnancy a secret from my sister Ari and I. When she finally told us, my sister was not too pleased about being the middle child. On the other hand, I was built up with different emotions, I didn't know what emotion was outweighing the other. Of course I helped my mom throughout the months of her pregnancy picking out everything you could possibly

To this day, my mom still is sleeping on the couch with Elara in the crib next to her. The reason behind this is because my dad works hard to take care of the family and wakes up at 5 a.m. My sister and I weren't so happy about it because we like to play Xbox late at night together on our mean time as well as watching scary movies. Obviously that stopped real quick when my mom was bothered by us being up around the baby making noise while they try and sleep. The first few nights went by great, we didn't hear a peep from her, not until the next night came around. She was up all night crying and fussing about who knows what, keep in mind I had school the next morning. I decided to help my mom on nights like those because I don't need her stressed out thinking she's alone in this. This caused me to lose a lot of sleep and get to school on time some days because I was too tired to wake up on …show more content…
I have never been so stressed out before with all those until another priority came along, but hers is different and takes much more time out of my day than what I barely have already. I have to plan my day out in advance and think about if I'm not going to do chores on this day because I'm too busy helping my mom. I will do it on a less stressful day where I know I won't get a lot of homework or have practice on that day. But sometimes that always doesn't work out, and I will be up late at night doing homework. If you are wondering, Ari does help out but she's lazy and doesn't have those motherly instincts that I have. I do enjoy helping my mother but it doesn't do me good
My family solely consisted of my parents who both worked and my brother and I who were in the higher grades of our elementary school. However, on July 28, 2015, my baby sister was born, taking my daily life in a completely different turn. Earlier, my family and I had a tight schedule which included school, after school activities and homework in the evenings. However, after my sister was born, my family made a harder effort to spend quality time together and with my little sister since she required a lot of attention and care. My entire routine changed as well because playing with and babysitting my sister had become an important part of my day. Before her birth, our house was very quiet since my brother and I did not get along very well in order to spend time together and were busy in our own pastimes like video games or soccer. However, when my sister came along, my home became filled with her crying more than laughter, the games we play like peek a boo and the many nursery rhymes she listens to during the whole day. When my sister was not there, I had the freedom to do many more things such as going on picnics with my family, having peaceful car rides and not having to worry about taking care of her. Although, now the places I go with my family are limited as my sister does not enjoy car rides or visiting places which do not cater to her needs such as restaurants or parties with friends. Also, taking care of
Caring for a baby the whole weekend taught me a lot about how it is to actually have a real baby. Not only did the baby cry periodically but often at times like a real baby she would cry for no reason. I had to wake up at different times in the middle of the night just to tend to the baby needs and plenty times was very tired but I couldn't just let her cry. It got very frustrating when she would constantly cry back to back it didn't give me the time to do anything. Like when I took her out to eat with me on day I got her i couldn't even barely eat because she kept crying. People kept looking at me and the waiter table even thought it was a real baby when she saw the car seat. I learned that you have to be patient because at times the crying
I was adopted from Seoul, South Korea when I was five and a half months old. When I finally understood what adoption meant, I thought that it was the most significant day in my life for many years, but I was wrong.
Firstly, I am a Bay Area native, daughter, friend and sister who deeply cares and thrives off my passion and the connections I make with the people around me. This passion towards the connections and impact I make with people and for people stems from growing up with two sets of relatives, one biological and one adopted. Due to being adopted, by parents sent me to a girls adoption group where I met other girl’s my age and was able to find support for not only talking about my adoption, but dealing with internal and external struggles by obtaining tools to better deal with hardships and to communicate with others. I can honestly say that I am a better person because of the support of the group and I feel that it is a big part of the person
It was August 25, 2006 and I just received the news that I was going to have a baby. At that moment so many thoughts ran through my mind. I was extremely nervous and terr...
In 2011, I became an aunt to an amazing little girl. My sister was just sixteen years old when she found out she was pregnant, a junior in high school. She was already into her second trimester and it was too late for her to even think about aborting the pregnancy. So her decision to keep the baby was the only decision she could make. She had my niece and struggled to finish her senior year in high school. It took special privileges and her taking classes outside the school for her to graduate with her class. She knew that her whole life was going to change the moment she decided to have the baby. There were ten other girls in her grade that got pregnant that year and six decided to abort their pregnancies, four decided to have their babies.
One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
At the time, my mother also worked late at night and always returned home extremely exhausted, which resulted in her sleeping for most of the day. For most of the day, I was at school. When school ended, she would have to come get me and we would walk home, usually
I am the third child out of four in my family, I have one older sister, an older brother and then a younger brother. I was born on January 20th 1997 in Clinton, Ontario. This means I was probably conceived the middle of May sometime. My mother did not take pre-natal pills before I was born because I was not really expected, but she was taking vitamins during this time to stay healthy. My mother did see our family physician while she was pregnant with me. She saw the doctor every month for the first and second trimester and then she saw him every other week in the last trimester. In these checkups they would see if I was gaining weight, check blood pressure, blood levels and just to see if everything was healthy. My mom did not have any screening tests done to see if there was anything wrong because it was not very common to get screening done in our
Rather than scold me, my mother sat me down, and attempted to fix this major problem with me. She comforted me, and helped me to get back on track in the class. My mother continued to motivate me, and with hard work and determination, I was able to pass the class with a B. My mother was integral in keeping me on track, and helping me to succeed. My father taught me how to follow
Once my mom actually found out she was pregnant, I’m sure a lot of questions and thoughts were running through her mind. For instance,“what am I going to tell my parents” or “how are we going to support this new baby because we’re broke?” She eventually faced all of the facts and decided to keep this precious child, which in my opinion was the right choice because without him our family wouldn’t be complete.
Battling a miscarriage a couple years prior, my mother was feeling mixed emotions. Around this time, I was a senior in high school so the news was neutral for me being that I was the only child for eighteen years. I did not know if I should rejoice or complain because I was leaving for college soon. My brother was born about two weeks before my high school graduation, and I must say that it was a very intense and complicated birth being that my mother was nearly forty giving birth to her second child.
My mom is a slender, tall woman who moved away from her family at a young age. She has blue-green eyes and blonde hair with brown highlights. She is full german with two brothers and one sister. She has three children, one already having a child, and the other two attending Bremerton High School.
Have you ever wanted to meet yourself from three years ago to see how you were like? I remember exactly how I was like three years ago, and I know I’ve changed a lot. I became more mature because I get into less trouble, have better grades and have a job. I changed because I realized what was important. I changed because I didn't want to be childish anymore.
My brother was already married and beginning a family of his own by this point, so this left mom and me on our own. Mom and I both wor...
