His favorite subjects is science and math. He wants to be a scinceiest or a astronote, when he was little and still as today he loves rocks the different shapes sizes and colors. I am getting scared as a pareant what are things that I saw while growing up in jr. high and others did around me. Im also scared because he tinds to follow more than being a leader at thing. I try to teach him how to lead. I only hope is he keeps busy with studies and activities. I always tell him one day you will not have me here telling you how to live your life. I only can do that now later on in life your going to have to make your own decision and not follow. And always make sure now or even later you always make the right choices in life because God gave us a ability to know right from wrong. i also let him know the importance of getting a education and always following through with your dreams because it can affect your life in the long run. I know I expect a lot from time to time but sometimes I just have to sit back in realize his just a kid trying to be best that he can. Malachi loves to have fun whether its playing outside going somewhere or just stating in the house.

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
point of me being unable to get him dressed and ready before the arrival of his school bus each morning. Oftentimes, his lack of cooperation resulted in me being late for work due to having to take him to
At first, I had a hard time trying to find an older person to interview, because I did not want to interview my family since I’ve lived with them my whole life. While I was getting ready to interview my friend’s parent, I started reading the questions to myself, and I realized that I do not know the answer to them if I ask my parents. I chose to interview my mother because I have never sat down with her and have a serious deep conversation with her. I realized that I am closer to her than my father, but I’m not as close as I thought I was with her, and it broke my heart when I finally realized that. At the age she is, I finally realized that I have been taking advantage of her and I refused to live this way with her. This interview was emotional for both of us, and it also brought us closer to each other. I am so grateful and happy I did this interview with her.
I remember the day she born. I was nervous for the simple fact that my life would never be the same. Soon no longer would I be known as just Ayanna, I would take on a new title. A title that I would share with so many woman, and after eight long hours of labor, I would now be known to the world as mommy.
A new year had just arrived. I can still picture January in my mind, the mood was sullen and dark, I could feel the cold reaching my bones, but now I know that was the best feeling I‘d ever had. I had only a few weeks left to start college, which had been my dream since I can remember. My dad had already paid for my tuition, I was so exited I had promised to do my best. Then, I realized there was an obstacle in my way. I knew I needed to make a decision on whether or not keeping my pregnancy, it sounds rough, but it was definitive. I did not want to miss school, so I was definitely not taking this to the last term. I just could not think of myself being prostrated in bed for so long, as an impediment to start school. Never, nothing would make me give up on my dreams, and that was another promise I had made to myself.
love this book.The book make me feel warm inside. This book showed me that there is more in a person than you think. I us to look at people that were in wheelchairs and were different and thought that they don’t know anything that there just a loser but they're not. They could be the world's sweetest person they are smart they just have a hard time showing it.
When I found out I was pregnant I could never have imagined how hard my life was going to be as a teen mom. I remember my dad sitting me down and telling me he respected my decision to keep my daughter, but that I had no idea how hard I just made my life, I don’t think that in that moment I really realized what he meant, but I would soon find out. I was just starting my 11th grade year when my daughter was born so I still had two years of school left. I also had to work so I could take care of my daughter, so trying to do both seemed impossible, at one point my school wanted me to go to school during the day and at night so I could graduate. There was no way I could work and go to school during the day and at night. I had to think long and hard about what I needed to do, my daughter and I needed to be able to survive so I definitely needed my job, so I did
Early childhood development lays the foundation for future learning. It refers to the many skills and milestones that children are expected to reach by certain time especially within the first five year of age. These milestones include learning how to run, how to talk using simple sentences and how to play with others. In most cases, this type of development occurs naturally when parents and children spend time playing, preparing dinner or looking at books together.
In the early years of life, I had four very close friends. I met Breanna, Courtney, Elizabeth, and Skylar during nursery time at First United Methodist Church in Monett, Missouri. In preschool, Breanna, Courtney, Elizabeth, Skylar, and I developed a “puppy dog group”. Each of us had a Dalmatian colored fur coat, and we played with them during recess. During preschool, my close friends and I played “house” and cooked a variety of different meals. In general, my friend group got along very well; however, we did have a few conflicts. The main conflicts occurred when more than one person wanted to be the “puppy” in our house activity. Our group also argued about who was able to play the mother, sister, or neighbors. In order to resolve the conflict, our preschool teacher encouraged us to take turns being each character (T. Moller, personal communication, September 20, 2017).
The fact that everything changes when your child is born is true. It is difficult to understand this fact until it happens to you. It is both terrifying and rewarding to compare my life before and after children.
The phone rang from the other side of the room; I ran to the sound of it, thinking it was my mom calling to see how my first day of summer vacation was going. I was about to be a sophomore in high school. I picked up the home phone and said, “hello?” Instantly when I heard the voice on the other end, my stomach dropped. Sweat began to build on my pale forehead. While on the phone I ran into my old sister’s room to wake her from her nap. She was a typical senior in high school that slept all day. The women on the other line told me “I need to speak to your mother, Michael has been in an accident at work…” I Interrupted asking if he was ok in a weak, shaky voice. She kept telling me, “I’m sorry, I cannot release that Information.” I cried out of pure fear “That’s my dad, what happened to my dad”. I gave the women my mom’s work number even though they were no longer married. All that was going through my mind was ‘he’s dead, why else would they call my mom? I sat on my bed crying, all of my emotions left my body and my heart started to race.
That summer after school I just wanted to find a job and start making some money. Going to college for anther four year was something I thought I could not handle. I final got a job at UPS unloading trucks. At first I thought how hard could it be? But every day I would come home exhausted from working in the heat. And then when I got tiny pay check, it hit me. From then on I decided that manual labor was something that I could not do the rest of my life and I could definitely not support a family on that income. A job behind a desk in the air conditioning was what I wanted.
I think my greatest and overwhelming fear that tormented me throughout my pregnancy has become a reality. It was 9:00 on a Tuesday morning, when I experienced my first labor pain. Without hesitation, I immediately reached for my cell phone to contact my husband, but it went straight to voicemail. I had no means to reach him, because Shaw Air Force Base was having a war readiness exercise. My mind had to quickly accept the fact that my bundle of joy was coming eight days early, according to the estimated due date. This narrative will take the reader on a wonderful, yet frightful journey through pre-labor, active labor and the delivery of my son.
Ah! I see you have come to hear my story. Well, I warn you now; I am advanced in years and might forget some parts. My story is filled with adventure, new beginnings, and confusion. But enough! I will begin.
The day began as usual with my mum taking me to the park to play on
