Sometimes I do dumb things. Looking back I have made so many mistakes with the people I love. All this time I was wrong, I have been incomprehensible and selfish. All along, I make my brother feel bad about himself and useless . He is older than me five year, as the older brother he is my leader and support. For a long time I thought he was the laziest and most selfish person I've ever known, but at the same time he showed me that people can always change and make things right. My brother has always been with me, except when we separated three years ago, he stayed in Cuba and I came here to the United States. …show more content…
While growing up together, there was always dysfunction between us, but over time our relationship got worse. It started two years ago when he came here to the United States. I was already living here for almost one year with my mom and my dad. My mother at that time had two jobs while I had one and went to school. We both had the responsibilities of the expenses as my father could not work because of health problems. We were starting a new life in an undiscovered country for us and it was difficult. My brother was our hope to improve our living conditions, it was our policy to stick together and work together until each of us were ready to go by our own. 1 His first year he could not find a job or what I thought was him not wanting to work; it was when our problems became reality to the point where I almost abandoned my family. I was really upset and disappointed, I called him ungrateful and selfish. Right away under pressure from my family and me, he …show more content…
Two weeks later when he received his first check, he wasn’t happy, and the same day he quit. When we asked, he told us he was expecting more money and he was not going to work for that. I got so angry. What was he thinking? He doesn’t have a college degree, he didn’t even speak the language; he should have been thankful for having and finding a job. November same year he starts working at a factory. He seemed very excited and committed to the job. But, what I feared happened and of course I didn’t believe him. He quit again, according to him because the place closds, exactly a month after he was hired. After what happened, we had a hideous and repulsive fight. We did not talk or see each other for weeks; the tension between us was very strong. In the meantime, in February he found a job at Sugar Mills at Belle Glade. Today he still works there. He moved and he is living his own life by himself, but not just that, he is now helping my mom and dad, which is great. I saw

We lived way out in the sticks in a trailer park community it was a nice community my uncle had lived there for many years. Its 2007 and I already took and passed my GED with flying colors I needed to find a job and I really didn’t know much so I asked a friend of mine who worked for this guy named frank. Frank had a business where he would install granite counter tops and tile floors he was looking for someone to help remove and install the counter tops and tile. I was nervous I had never done anything like this before I was only use to either cutting grass or construction jobs with my dad that only pertained to nailing wood and sheets of plywood up. I had worked for frank for about a year and a half before I had to quit I missed California too much I wanted to move back I missed the warm air and the smell of the dairies and that breeze from the ocean air when it hits you I missed all of that so I moved back and I moved in with my dad. I have had a few jobs in my life that didn’t last very long either the time wasn’t right or whatever but I ended up getting hired at the Walmart distribution center and it was a blessing in disguise because now we can get by. Even though we still have to live paycheck to paycheck we can now not stress as much as how we were going to make it work, how we were
Not long after they got really serious. Shortly after later his girlfriend got pregnant. So, he decided he had to marry her. All of his coworkers knew it was the wrong thing. They knew it wouldn’t be good thing. They all knew it was a mistake. Everyone tried to talk to him, but he didn’t listen. He knew what he had to do, so he did it. They got married and had the baby. Not long after his foster dad pasted away. Then he got a divorce (AManNamedDave).

Education is one of the most important heritage that a father can give to his son. Education is the greatest inheritance a parent can leave to the son, being educated is not to acquire knowledge but more than that it be lack of ignorance. Someone once said that “I do not read for more intelligence but rather to be less ignorant”, these words have a world between them, because many people study for a degree not for gain knowledge. Education can be defined as the wealth of knowledge acquired by an individual that would be a common way to define which education, but is also the most seen college students? This is the biggest mistake of most college students, which go to colleges
In the realm of modern literature, a multitude of texts have produced a “thicket of information”(Goldsmith, “Uncreative writing” 1). In this “thicket”, all works seemingly blend together into one jumbled-up, problematic mess. To cut through this jungle of mundaneness, writers aspire to fabricate what they perceive as “creative” literature. There are even guides to doing this; though most are filled with cliché terms and phrases such as: explorer, ground-breaker, and going where no one has gone before(8). But are they all missing the point? Kenneth Goldsmith, author of uncreative writing and professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, thinks so. He argues that the current literary world is plagued by the need to be unique. This need
During my interview with my brother, I asked him what was his biggest sacrifice he had to do in order to come back to Canada “Lots of my childhood. Being the eldest child and the most fluent in English, everybody looked to me for help in all areas of communication. While other kids played outside, there were lots of times where I had to stay inside to make phone calls, send e-mails and fill out forms. Due to the time difference between Canada and Europe, there were frequent cases of me having to handle time sensitive calls over nights, instead of sleeping. I had to grow up and act as an adult long before any of my peers.” My parents also gave up a lot, they left their family behind, friend and all their belonging to start all over again in Canada. Those three have done so much for this whole family, and I couldn’t thank them enough, my brother gave up this childhood, and post secondary for his other siblings including myself, to make the most of our lives. As well as my parents who have done the impossible to come back a restart their lives for now the seventh time from scratch. And did it all only to help their kids and siblings. I’ve only in the past year started to see their point of how they did it all, and I can’t picture any other person able to complete half of what they
However, he hasn't got any money from the family after joined the company, and sometimes had to work as a newspaper
I felt am in good and very sophisticated filed and no need to change it as long as I will work in Management and having all the graduate degree knowledge. So, I started with the Master degree and finish eighteen credits of my study and continue my job as well. But life always full of surprises at least for me, I met the one, my love and my husband, he is very kind, lovely and smart person anyone wants to know him. We are sharing the same field as he is a Network Engineer, I like the IT field more and more. He decided after a few months of our Engagement to move to the United States. He wants a better life and more opportunities. I was happy for that movement and of course the challenge of living in the US, but at the same time sad because I have to leave my family and, of course, leave the graduate study. Once I got married then moved to live in the United States and had a baby, I lost the willingness of continues my Graduate study as I found life of being a housewife and mom is more beautiful than study or work especially after spending over six years of working full-time, I felt time to get some rest is
As children, my brother and I were very close. Well, as close as a brother and sister can be. We played together all of the time, and he always tucked me into bed at night. Sometimes, when I was scared of the dark, he would take all of my stuffed animals and surround me with them. In elementary school, he was very protective of me. He always made sure that no one was ...
He had no choice. We went to his office... and told him that we 've fixed our issues. We asked him to forgive us and not fire us.
Currently there are many students tried to go to college and finish their degree. But some students don’t know what they should do in college and how to avoid the failure in classes. The failure will happen if you have no real goal or plan to finish it.
...esses with my source of income! My mom and Kirby resolved the situation and she was being as nice as possible, I no longer felt welcomed and soon found another job.
Growing up in a divorced family was the beginning of the development of my need to be a strong individual. My mother had to work many jobs to support myself and my brother. This left the two of us alone and together most of our childhood. While I know that my brother truly loved me, sometimes a teenage boy does not show a small girl the compassion that she requires. I had to frequently take care of myself while my brother was finding more important things to occupy his time with.
