over this past summer and I totaled my car; this experience changed my life forever. It wasn’t a revelation that I was planning for, but nonetheless it happened. I thought I was going to die in that accident, but by the grace of God I didn’t. I have now become a lot more aware of how short life is and how I need to live it to the fullest every day. You never know when your time is going to be up, and you need to be ready. Like Julian, my experience was also near death. Unlike Julian, I did not pray

My AP English class read Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, and it was again reminiscent of my experience of looking in a mirror. I found many similarities between Gregor and myself -- both of us were unable to show our true selves to society. In addition to reading the short story, I was required to write a blog post relating to the text that was to

In *Enter Date* I was diagnosed with autism: this is where my story begins. When I was diagnosed, it was not a shock to me and my family. I was always that lonely kid in the back of the room that no one knew existed, that kid who had no friends, who always sat alone at lunch and was constantly bullied for who I was. Immediately after being diagnosed I would spend my Thursday afternoons at therapy... this would happen every Thursday for the next two year. Now that was a struggle for not just me but

Boba, boba, boba. Little shops around every corner on every block, creating chaotic streets and bright lights. Cars from all directions bombarding black pavements, honking constantly at one another. Never ending places to eat, all with unique names and foreign pronunciations largely owned by first generation immigrants. Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese. They’re filled with my ethnic background, full of history and familiarity. The crowded hectic noisy mess I love, this move reconnected me back to

sheer multitude and complexity of the cases only stimulated my curiosity. Some of them, however, proved to be very emotionally demanding to handle, such as one of an infant whose life was on the fence due to complications after conception. These experiences, though, have granted me a realistic perspective on the arduous but dynamic nature of a medical profession – be it the bloody cases, the endless days on feet, or the irregularities of activities as primitive as eating

First of all, we were wrong when we thought who is autistic always knows all about adversity. I, a normal person, also have some experiences about adversity. It is absolutely right when we face the changes occur differently to what it was supposed to be, we do not feel security. I will realize that feeling either. Whenever I see a change, whether it is positive, I also launch the fear in my emotional brain. Sometimes I am running out of what I am trying to do. If only do I change direction a little

When I was born, my parents were happy, Woo Hoo, and then the doctors said that my arteries were screwed up. They said now your kid is going to die unless he has this surgery (boo hoo). To make a long story short, I had the surgery, it worked, I am alive. After that, I had to stay in the hospital for the first month of my life. I have lived a normal life since then. About 7 months ago ,though, I had to go to the hospital to do a stress test. A stress test is basically where they put

slightly vivid recollection of my personal menarche experience. I do not remember how old I was exactly. However, I can ball park my age around 11 or 12. I know indefinitely that my personal menarche experience occurred before I entered the 7th grade. I know this with the utmost certainty because I did not have a sex education class until I entered the 7th grade. Had I have taken sex education before my first menstrual period, I would have had a less traumatic experience. On that fateful day, I remember

My military experience refined me as an individual and made more aware of my surroundings. It’s hard to describe all I learned from the short experience. At times the lessons learned were very contradicting. What I was there to learn versus what I was searching for were things that were still not accepted. Understanding and judging people a lot quicker without using words was a concept I had to turn into a survival skill. It felt like nobody around me had the ability to do so unless they were like

October of 1941 marked the start of the last 6 weeks I’d be truly living. If I’d only known that once I’d stepped foot onto the tropical soil of Manila, Philippines as a nurse, I’d only have 6 more weeks of freedom, I would have taken advantage of my final days. I would have written letters to my family back home. I’d tell them I loved them and that I’d try my best to survive in war; I’d try my best to survive in the internment camp. All these little things eat at me every day. They crawl through

My situation became known amongst my classmates and as a result I was bullied for it. I simply had too much pride to care. I began sleeping
