It was my brother’s 12th birthday so my family decided to celebrate after school by going bowling. My brother, Nico, kept bragging about how good he was at bowling. I told him that I would beat him, because I’m a lot better at bowling than him. He kept denying it, so when we got there we really wanted to find out who was better at bowling. When we started bowling, Nico was winning. After a while I got tired of my brother constantly saying that he was better than me. During the second frame, I started beating him.

    In the process of reading chapter two, I immediately thought back two years ago. I had the worst Stressor. I've had in my only 16 years of living. My great grandmother, who I lived with along with my mother, my whole life. She passed from stomach cancer. September 14 2013, I remember getting out of the shower with a smile on my face, and my grandmother casually walking in and said "Granny died at 2:34 this morning. I'm going to Chicago and I'll come back the day before the funeral. " My family works in the funeral industry but we do not own a funeral home and we have never buried such a close family member of ours. With my Step father and my mother losing their minds, and my little sister not knowing how to process this and my aunt just down right disappearing, I had to handle this. I was 14 at the time and I was calling on older friends to take me to the bank, finishing arrangements, picking clothes, doing the memorial video and the catering because none of my family offered to cook. I was panicking and literally running from place to place because I was trying to get things done. I was eating more and sleeping less, and from
