II. I applied to the first ad I saw in the paper and strangely enough, I

III. In my lifetime I have seen a lot of weird things and have had lots of
experiences that have changed my life in one way or another and I'm sure that
there are going to be lots more of them to come but these that really
stand out in my mind are mainly because they happened quite recently.
Incidents occur in one's life daily. Most of the time people enjoy
talking about "what happened today" because most of the time it's usually funny
and it isn't really considered anything serious. Some happenings in our lives
are very serious and aren't as easy to talk about with others. Even though this
is true it does help the person feel better to talk about their problems whether
they realize it at first or not. Changes in life like these can change you both
physically and mentally for the rest of your life depending on the severity of
the situation.

don't really know what it was that started this thing between me and my parents
but I do remember that they were always doing anything they could to just annoy
me. I doubt this was intentional but at the time it seemed that it was. They
would find any excuse to yell or blame me for things that didn't even involve me

couldn't get out of the house I tried my best to stay in my room and keep the
door closed. When they decided that they didn't want me in my room where they
couldn't fuss at me they came up with this big idea that I was trying to hide

I talk about . . . you know we need another counselor or we need more supports on this or we need more . . . people. I have yet to come into contact with somebody that’s like nooo, I disagree.

One of life facts that many times truth can be painful to hear. Nobody ever wants to hear that they have a problem in any aspect in life. As humans, by nature we are not as accepting of criticism. We like people who praise us and hate those do not agree with us or criticize us. We tend to be not very welcoming to people when they tell us that we have a problem or we are the problem. “Identify someone with a problem, and you’ll be identifying someone who resists the suggestion that he has one” (Arbinger, 2010). The natural response to such accusation is to disagree or
My world was spinning, I felt like I was about to throw up, and I didn’t know whether I wanted to throw my phone and start punching walls, or crumple to the hardwood floor of my apartment and cry until I had no tears left.
Within the first few weeks, I noticed that they would do everything they could to belittle me and make me feel undeserving of their attention.

Many years ago when I was a freshman in high school, an event happened to me that changed my life for the better. My friend invited me to go hiking with him and his sister.
