When I was younger, my mom and dad got a divorce. Years later after their divorce, my dad would always bring another women and her kids around. I never really knew who they were or was comfortable being around them. So, I asked my dad who they were. He said, "This is your aunt and your cousins from Canada." I was shocked that it took him a minute to tell me that. Days and days went by and every time I would visit my dads place, they were always there. In my head, I was thinking why they didn't have their own place to stay. Until I remembered when I was younger we would always have family come stay with us but that was only when my mom and dad were together at the time. So for a long time, I believed that they were my cousins and aunt. Until one day, I heard something I wish I hadn't. I heard my sister and "cousins" talking about my dad and their mom. Seems to me that they all knew that my dad had a thing with their mom for a while now. But with me being the youngest and most sensitive one, he decided not to tell me. So I confronted my dad about it and he said he didn't want me to know yet because I was too young. After he told me that, I decided not to have a conversation with him nor my "aunt." He got mad at me for being disrespectful but he was the one that lied about everything. I wasn't quite ready for my dad to move on yet because I was hoping him and my mom would get back together. I can relate to the narrative in the book because we thought something was a certain way for so ling until we were both lied to.

Thirteenth Blog Post

When I was a senior in high school, I had this small group of friends/sisters that I would always hang out with. One out of the three girls in the group was in a relationship. We usually are happy for each other when one gets into a relationship with someone, but the relationship my sister was in wasn't healthy at all. Ever since they started to hang close with each other, it seemed like I hardly was able to see or hang out with my sister anymore. It's like her relationship just took her away from me. She started getting distant and starting lying about everything. She made up stories about her mom and other personal things. Every time I tried to talk to her about it, she would blow me off or lie in front of her "girlfriend". So then all three of us had a meeting and she thought it was okay to bring her girlfriend to the meeting. The meeting wasn't for her girlfriend so I was confused as to why she thought that was okay. After that meeting, I was sad and disappoin...

Dear Senior,                    I would like to take the time to tell you about the differences and similarities between high school and college. First, I am going to tell you from personal experience than explain some of the details listed in The Transition to College Writing book. When I was in high school, I had awesome grades and amazing help from teachers. There were times when I depended on teachers to help get things done for me. I would always finish my homework in school, didn't have to worry about homework as much. It was easy for me to participate in three sports and different organizations around the school too. My counselor would always help make sure my scholarships went through and provided me with so much information. So basically, in high school, I could always depend on my teachers and counselors other than myself. Then, my first year of college came around. I wasn't all the same as high school. For example, classes w...

Desi's night of terror

As I wake up in jail, I was shocked and confused on why I was here. I couldn't even remember where I was last night. I start to pace back and forth trying to remember something until I felt things moving in my pockets. I had five items which were a tennis ball, my phone, a grip for my racket, ace wrap from my wrists and my keys. I started to remember where I was last night. I had a tennis match and I got into a little finder binder with my opponent. I was throwing tennis balls at her for cheating during the match, so she called the police on me for insulting her. Then, that is when I was arrested an taken to jail.
