a short story about yourself
I’ve never told this story before, and I doubt I’ll ever tell it again.

My mother said that when I were born, I couldn’t cry. I have come out so early and so weak that the first six months of my life were spent in the hospital. I also never crawled around like other babies, only laying on bed and crying out silent scream. Even the doctor said that there was only 50% chance that I would grow up normally.

So, it is easy to understand why during my childhood, my parrent never allowed me to play around with others kids eventhough my illness had faded away. They always drove me home right after school, and my only friend was a puppy whom I named Bear. I don’t like cat, they are wild and ungrateful, but dog is man’s best friend. If you look into a dog’s eyes then you will understand that a dog always loves and worships its master.

Eventhough Bear loved me, he also loved freedom. Everytime my parrent left the gate unlocked, he would try running out to discover the outside world. On that destined day, Bear also took his chance. I should have run after him right away, but I hesitated at the gate, fearing the odd world outside. Then, a fast moving motorbike sent my puppy flying. He didn’t make a single sound, but I screamed and I cried. I cried when my father took him away. I cried when I missed his hot and wet nose, his round black eyes. Even now, after all these years, I still feel uneasy everytime I think about him.

Two years later, my mother gave birth to a strong, cute baby. The first time I saw my little sister, I promised to myself that whenever she needs my help, eventhough she doesn’t know that she needs it, I will not hesitate.

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    On a quiet Sunday morning at Kings Daughters Hospital in Madison, Indiana, I was welcomed into this world via c-section. With my mother completely unconscious, my father was first to hold my whopping nine-pound six-ounce body. I was bald and twenty and a half inches in length. I arrived at 7:57 on January 8, 1999, and the weather was below freezing and snowy. For my mother, giving birth was an occurrence that she never intended to endure. Before my mother had me at the age of thirty nine, she went through multiple abortions. She had never wanted kids, but my father convinced her to…

    Throughout my life I have encountered many circumstances that have shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Moroleon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I attended school in Mexico all the way to second grade. In the summer of 2006 I moved to Cumming, Georgia. It was the hardest thing to do because I left everything that I care the most about. We lived in a trailer which was not the nicest place and in the middle of the forest. I started school at the beginning of August. I had always loved school so I was so excited for the first day. I knew it was going to be hard because I would have to conquer so many obstacles on the way. At this time the only English I knew was probably counting from one to ten and some of the colors. My Father knew some…

    Who am I? That has always been an essential question for as long as I can remember. I never really understood why we had to answer that question along the way, but I’m now a senior at SJPII and I still have no idea who I am. It really bothers me that for 16 years I still haven’t figured out who I am. Constantly going from class to class and making new friends I still can’t pin point who the “real” me is.…

    My father had picked me up while carrying me to mother, not angry like I thought they’d be. They held me whilst mother saying, “No one can replace you, Abigail, we love you dearly.” And “Nothing will change, even when the baby will come.” father told me. After that talk, I grew to love the fact that I am going to be a big sister.…

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. A question such as “who am I”? Really gives me the opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex person who thinks the world is against me, nor am I overly sophisticated “know-it-all” who doesn't take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can't say that I am like every other person because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am progressing towards a brighter future.…

    Have you ever wondered why we own pets? According to Freud, animals are unaffected by the corruption and suffering caused by society, and, because of this, are desirable companions for humans. Freud hints towards the idea that animal’s companionship helps us relieve stress, gives us comforting attention, and also gives us something to care for, thus leading us to feel unconditional love. In my essay, I will first introduce the common ideas regarding why we own animals and the benefits of having them. Then I will discuss Freud’s analysis of pets through Civilization and Its Discontents and also through his own experiences with his dogs. Lastly, I will explain the effects of pets on human mental health, and conclude with the discussion of animal…

    I used to believe I was a good writer. Throughout my elementary school education, creative writing dominated curriculum which allowed my extremely creative mindset to thrive. In middle school, I developed an elitist mentality about my writing ability. Believing that I reached my academic peak, I felt no need to sharpen my writing skills, causing me to become close minded to critique or other writing styles. Upon entering high school, I still clung to the idea that I was the best, but after my first week of class, I realized how weak my writing skills were in contrast to those of other students. Now, I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and hope to have come far from my middle school self.…

    It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…

    My mom has always been my biggest inspiration and throughout the years, I’ve learned a lot about what her life was like before and after I came into the picture.

    The first few years of my life were spent alone. My birth father left when I was born and my birth mother would leave me home alone for days on end. I remember when I was two, waking up and not finding anyone in the house, I was hungry and scared. I would climb on to the counters to find something to eat, which a lot of times was nothing. I would have to do everything for myself, but soon that would change. The last time my birth mother left me, i was sent to my Grandparents. My Grandpa was sick and they didn’t have a lot of money. My Grandma started calling friends and relatives but no one wanted to take me. She was losing hope, but there was one last couple she could try. She called my parents and they took me instantly. Ever since then I’ve been happy, healthy and loved. I couldn’t ask for better parents…
