As a military child, I left the United States with my family at the age of five and spent eight years living overseas at duty stations in Japan, Germany, and Italy. We traveled extensively during vacations to over 20 different countries. As a result, I claim proficiency in ordering french fries and apple juice in several different languages. Although moving has brought me some misfortune, and many people would say that living overseas qualifies as adversity, I never felt it was such.…
A.I believe the most challenging aspect of working in protective services would be not letting your career consume you physically and mentally. Knowing that there's such a great need out there and you're not always able to help when you want to,would be the most challenging aspect to me . You wouldn't think that it affects you, but it does. The emotional strain of the job and the desire to want to help everyone can be overwhelming.…
The door slams. Angry voices pervade throughout the house. Fear, fear of what was to happen next lingered in my mind. It became a part of my daily routine. At a very young age I realised that life was not all sunshine and rainbows.…
Life started getting rough for me around the time that my dad was terminated (11/10/2016). Everything seems to be coming at me all at once. Asides from studying for finals, I was also focused on working two jobs because everything in the house became my responsibility. Mortgage became my responsibility, bills became mine, car loans became mine, expenses in the house became mine as well. I became the support system for my family, both emotionally and financially.…
Reading the article made me think a lot about what happens to me when I am asked to remember something. I thought about something that happen just last night, my dad was trying to remember something that happen about 8 years ago, when he called about his glasses. He tried to say that my older sister was there, but she wasn’t. My brother and I argued with him and told him, she wasn’t there and my dad was just in denial about my sister been there. Since, my brother and I were there, we helped him sort of remember what happen and how it happen.…
Resisting and minimizing old age impositions As the analysis unfolds, I noticed a deeper tension in age construction. Older workers demonstrate a disparity between how they perceived age and how others do. They hold non-conventional beliefs about age as the embrace an ageless identity, but at times, others label them old following traditional old age scripts in interaction. However, as workers face this struggle they aim to control and minimize age meanings that contradict with their perception of age.…

For the first time I confronted fear of death was when I was thirteen years old. I was a middle school student in Korea back then. After eating lunch, my classmates and I were getting ready for the next class. The bell rang, and a teacher was coming into the classroom. When I unconsciously looked at front, I saw my friend cutting herself.…
My greatest challenge in coming to Wichita from my home of origin Last year in 12/25/2016, I came from Jordan to Wichita. Because I got married and my husband has been living here for 10 years, he working and studying here .In the beginning I was very surprised about a lot of things, such as the way of life, the lack of population density and also all houses are far from each. One of hardest things, my English was weak and I have difficulty dealing with people and understanding them .the…
This year has made me a stronger person than I was last year. Last year I was very suicidal and I went to counseling. Over the past year I’ve gotten over the grudges that I have been holding onto for awhile, and as a result I’ve been thinking more positively this year. I was told by my father that if you make yourself more productive, time seems to go by faster. I didn’t listen to him…
Once you you get into a habit of doing something every day it is really had to pull yourself away. Technology has become a major part in our lives and we can not help it because it is everywhere and everyone uses it. It is how we communicate and work and to go without it for a while could end up hurting us. As I sat up in my bed I saw the glaring sun while it started to peek through the curtains.…
Growing up in life, I haven’t always chose to do the right thing. Some of those actions led to consequences that made me feel that nothing is fair. I wish I could go back and do things differently. Although I have made mistakes, I still feel that I deserve to have some freedom in my life.…
Hi. I’m sorry that it took me this long to respond. I was frustrated and angry and I knew that I wasn’t ready to talk to you yet. To be completely honest, I still am but I know that I need to do this in order to move on and leave this all behind.…
At the beginning of this last summer I realized I potentially had greatly hindered my ability to chase my dreams and spend my life in my own paradise. It turns out I did hinder my abilities to do just that, I got the letter in the mail stating clearly in more polite and politically correct words “I FUCKED up big”. At that point I had two options fix the mistakes I made or get comfortable with the idea of doing something I hated. I choose to think in a creator mindset and take the approach similar to John F. Kennedy’s quote “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it". I corrected the errors I could over the summer.…
