excert-new american class

My inspiration and mistakes have made me who i am!

 

 

Hello my name is Mia. I am 15 years old and have a great story to tell about my history, where I am now, and where I’m going in life. My dad is a role model to my African American family and me. My dad’s ancestors came from Africa. America was built on the backs of slavery. I am proud to show my pride.

My grandfather has had a hard life; his father was in construction in the lumberyard. He was killed by a construction accident, when telephone poles fell on him. That left my grandfather and his mother on their own to survive. A couple years later his mother was murdered in a bar in a tragic shooting. His grandmother raised him the rest of his young life. When my grandfather was getting his degree in college his grandmother got sick. So in her honor and as a grateful Christian and the respectful being that he is; he dropped out and went to Atlanta to take care of her. When she died she left everything to him. With that passion he found his love for landscape and created his own business. When he got married and had kids he wasn’t the greatest father to my dad and his brother and sisters; but I love him with all my heart. It’s sad that he is very sick but we as a family will get through it together in the end.

My inspiration and mistakes have made me who i am!


Hello my name is Mia. I am 15 years old and have a great story to tell about my history, where I am now, and where I’m going in life. My dad is a role model to my African American family and me. My dad’s ancestors came from Africa. America was built on the backs of slavery. I am proud to show my pride when it comes to being half black- the pride of my black people.
My grandfather has had a hard life; his father was in construction in the lumberyard. He was killed by a construction accident, when telephone poles fell on him. That left my grandfather and his mother on their own to survive. A couple years later his mother was murdered in a bar in a tragic shooting. His grandmother raised him the rest of his young life. When my grandfather was getting his degree in college his grandmother got sick. So in her honor and as a grateful Christian and the respectful being that he is; he dropped out and went to Atlanta to take care of her. When she died she left everything to him. With that passion he found his love for landscape and created his own business. When he got married and had kids he
wasn’t the greatest father to my dad and his brother and sisters; but I love him with all my heart with forgiveness and prayer. Its sad that he is very sick but we as a family will get through it together in the end.
On my mother’s side I
didn’t get a lot of information on how my mom’s ancestors got here, but I have some ideas. My mom is white but she is really French, German, and Irish. Most people of those races came to America during the great depression during the 1940’s so that is how I think my mother’s side got here. My grandmother’s mom died in childbirth with her brother when she was only 8 years old. So her dad raised her and her brother the rest of their young lives. I never met my grandfather when I was very young- he died. I was about three. I wish I could talk to him now to get to know him. The one thing I’ve heard about my grandfather is that he that my dad was a good man and did not judge him for the color of his skin like my grandmother did, and I will remember that always in my heart.
My life now is great. I have changed a lot since I moved from living with my mom to my dad. I have changed my attitude and how I think about things in a positive way. I’
ve decided to head back to my Christian church and decided what I want to do in the future. I’m so grateful to my dad for showing me the right path how I should lead my life. I truly give him credit or who I am today. This year I will be transferring to the school of Science and Technology. This decision allowed me to choose my path in life. Transferring to SCT doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but it is to me because it will help me to get to my career in medicine.
In the future I want become a doctor. It is a lot of work, but in the end I will be happy because what I do makes a difference! I can save lives, which in itself is a miracle. What God has given us that we as human beings have this power is amazing. This career is also international. A career that I can live anywhere in the world and still have a career that can cure people in need to the ends of the world is phenomenal. There are no limitations where I can go! After a couple of years practicing in the States I would like to participate in Doctors Without Borders and possibly go to Africa because there is a lot of war and sickness in that country. I also would like to have my own practice so I can do things without limitation that hospitals and managers give to you, and when I retire it can be passed on to future generations of my family. I would like to have a family also because I have so much love that I could give to my husband and children that would
fulfil my dream and make me forever happy.

assignment 11

OTHELLO.
It is true, i know it,--
I'm not going to blame fortune or chance!--
It is true.--i will not hurt her;
i will not scar her white skin,
her skin which is as pretty as alabaster.

[Takes off his sword.]

She must die or she will betray more men.
I will turn out the light then kill her:
If I stop her from controlling me, i can be happy once again,
Should feel sorry i shall kill myself;
evil is in her nature,
If i regret it i know not how to bring her back.
Once she's dead i can't bring her back,
She must die slowly:--And I'll smell her before she's dead
