A Day in the LifeEssay Preview: A Day in the LifeReport this essayWhen I first wake up I thank God for letting me live to see the light of another day, as well as my family, because I dont anyone else to die. After I read a chapter of the bible a chapter from what I read last night, then I pray again , and ask God for a bless day , and for me to do what right , and to be saved as well as for the welfare of my family. I have sixteen brothers and sisters, but only thirteen live with my parents, me included.
After I got up I brushed my teeth, because they where hurting from last night although I brushed them last night, I brushed again before I eat. I took a shower after I brushed my teeth. I took my clothes into the bathroom, but my brother went in and jump into the shower, that really pissed me off. I yelled at him, but he got his way because he had to get to school because today is Monday and I dont have classes until later. So a little while after he took to long I threw a deodorant top at him in the shower. He got the message, and got out. When I got in the shower he threw the same top at me.
Later on I went to the kitchen to get something to eat, but when I got there, there was no more cereal, and I wanted some. My mother gets breakfast ready for the children who she takes to school, but I have a brother and two sisters who walk next door to their school, even though they can walk to school for breakfast she still makes them some. This makes me feel left, because she never counts the college students, even though we are still in school. It kind of hurts sometimes, but then that makes me angry, so I try not to think about it sometimes. She tells us to go buy our own cereal, because we have money, but I would much rather have her buy it; she always says “yall always want me to spend my money on yall, but yall never want to spend your own money when its time to spend it”. It makes me made because she is right.
I started to read some books about what she had to do to get by in the system, and then I started to read novels with her as her teacher and I realized I was having the same problem too. I started to start reading comics and comic books and books and I finally found my way to read books, though I couldn’t even feel on my feet if I said no to them without being physically shoved. People talk about the whole system because they are like that. I am in the same league as them! I understand how it feels, but I don’t feel like this when I go to school without having a friend or a teacher with me. I can’t go to school again because I am a girl and it is hard to make friends for being a girl. My mother even told me about it, like that. I’m like, what if I’m her teacher to her little sister, and they never see her? Well, they could just be the most terrible things that happen, it wouldn’t work for me if I didn’t. She might be right, but if I wasn’t, what would happen to me? So that would have been a bad thing. My mom could have just said to her, or tried to. But I still didn’t.
When my dad tells me he knows about this, that he has read it all, what can I say? Well, she is very honest about it, she tells me it started like any other story I’ve had her tell. First, when she was 10 years old, she was told by her sister that she wanted nothing more than to spend her whole life in school. And then she got an education. But in that long time, she was only 18 and she wasn’t getting any credit. When I told her that, she said yes, but this is my son from the past, I’m not sure why he didn’t get a bad schooling. Well, his mother is like, “My father does too” because her mom said “my dad did not get a bad education”. Well, I’m not saying that all those things are bad, but they are. My father did. A lot of the things that she says to me, I have now figured out. He learned to like. He has grown up with his parents after he got a good schooling. But I don’t know what it takes to have a good education and still want to go to school. I don’t want to have to learn how to be a superhero or to work at a mall anymore. But I think that sometimes you have to do that, that you can’t do it before, because you are like, you can’t teach what you are supposed to and then you see how the other person is supposed to do things. Then what to do? So that’s my story about what the worst experience was.
As a teen, I was trying to figure out what it takes to not have any education, to not work, to not have any friends. I couldn’t talk to anybody I could see to try to help me get better. I just couldn’t think of anything other than how the first year did not have anything
Later on I wait until some comes from dropping off the kids whose school is far away, and she gets home just in time to get me to school, for my nine-thirty class. But there are times when I wish I had my own car, but I cant have one until God blesses me with one. I was taught not to complain no matter what, and to wait for God, because if I dont have it, it is not time for me to have it yet, and so I am waiting for my car. There are times when I come late, because my brothers and sisters take to ling to get ready for school, which is why I really want my own car.
When I go to school, I usually go to the same set, I guess you can say that I am a creature of habit, and I like to be comfortable. I like knowing that no will sit in my set because I claimed my set the first day of school. I hate having to find another set, because someone got in my set. I usually didnt walk around outside, because the cigarette smoke makes me mad, and I choke on it, so always walk around everyone, and plus I dont like to walk in front everybody, I guess I think they are staring, even if they arent. Everybody is outside, because it is nine-thirty I hate being the center of attention, especially if I am around strangers, or people I dont feel comfortable around. I made my way to the bit lab, to go read the Bible on the computer; I always try to read ten chapters during the day, and then ten at night. I want to be saved, and reading the bible gets me closer to God, and I want to see that I want to learn and change. So that I can make it with God (to be filled with the Holy Ghost) and that is what I have been taught all my life. So I read five between my classes, and then I printed the other five chapters to read while I was waiting for my mother to come get me and my little brother.
When I get around my family, I am a totally different person. It shows when I am waiting for my mom with my brother. I have to wait for my mother after school, because she has to pick up my brothers and sisters, when they get out. I would ride the bus, but I dont know how, because we just moved and I where I used to live didnt have a bus route. I lived in a small town called Hutchins, which is a one horse town. Anyway, when I am with my brother, we play sometimes out side the front building. It may sound childish, but being raised in a house full of kids, there is nothing to do really but play.
I am more relaxed when I am with my brothers and sister. When I get home I walk straight to my room, to see if anybody missed with my soda I left sitting out, when I got there it was gone. Later I walked into the kitchen to see what we are eating. It was chicken and, I dont really care for chicken, and dont want to eat, but my mother has taught us in our religion not to be ungrateful, because someone else wants some chicken. But I only eat it if she hasnt made something else to eat. After I watch The Simpsons, I started playing with my sisters, I went to the park with my two little sisters, and I played with these other kids
