It was on a rainy, cold winter day when my life suddenly changed. What marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was when I became a mother. I instantly felt like an adult when I gave birth to my baby girl, Khloe Noel Williams, because I had someone to care for. My mom did literally almost everything for me. From buying anything I needed, to being my emotional support. Now Khloe transformed me to doing everything for Khloe! My whole ,entire life now revolves around her. I have to make sure she is fed, clean, comfortable, and moreso happy. I had to get a job, so now I can provide anything she needs by myself. More so I had to be a role model. Now, everything I do I make sure it’s positive. No more getting into drama or dumb fights. I have become more sympathetic toward people. I take things more seriously instead of playing or being immature, and respecting my mother more instead of giving her a hard time. I see how hard it is, and I wouldn't want my child doing the same. I also want Khloe to be more than what I was, and not make the mistakes I …show more content…
I had to remind myself that everything isn’t about me now. I was a very selfish person. I loved sleeping in, sitting on social media when I was home, taking forever to get ready, no matter the circumstances. After Khloe was born, that all went away. Sleep was barely ever an option unless she wanted to sleep. It seemed like I changed a diaper every 5 minutes. When I get ready for school, I had to dress myself and not only have to make sure she’s dressed, I had to make sure she's at daycare, and I’m at school on time. Because I always had her on my hip, I wasn't able to just get up and go anymore. Sometimes I wouldn't even be able to hangout with my friends, and it kind of just made me feel left out. But the more time I spent with Khloe, I realized how much I enjoyed watching her grow. She made me become a better person mentally and
Going through a divorce is one of the hardest experiences to go through in life, and it doesn’t help when the media is broadcasting every miniscule detail regarding it. Paparazzi standing outside your door, your picture being plastered across every news site on the web, it can make a person go insane. Luckily for Khloe Kardashian, she is more than used to it, starring in the hit TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she’s used to being in the spotlight. From several articles from TMZ, E! News, and CNN, they all differ in how they portray Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom in different lights as a means to change the way the readers feel. I am going to explore and discover which article has the least bias on this matter.
It's no secret that Khloe Kardashian is not a fan of Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's new found love. She has already spoken up about family loyalty once before, considering that her brother's new love interest is their youngest sister, Kylie Jenner's number one nemesis. So when she shared a post about someone "toxic" in her life on social media, is she referring to Rob?
An event that clearly marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was the truly eye-opening experience of attending a Kairos retreat. For those unfamiliar with Kairos, it is a four-day religious retreat in which you and a small group of students come together to more learn about God, themselves, and others in a setting that completely removes you from the daily distractions and stresses of the outside world. Everyone, including myself, was able to share the personal stories about the struggles that they have faced and are continuing to face every day of their lives and offer support to others that may be going through similar things. We laughed together, we cried together, and we created strong relationships and friendships with people, some of which we hadn’t spoken a word to or even known by
Sexism against men is becoming an overwhelming problem in the United States, and has been on its way ever since the times when women started to declare that they had no use for men. Men are beaten (ignored), and radical feminism uses the shrinking wage gap and non-existent “oppression” as an excuse to abuse men without a second thought. Abused men are not taken seriously by others, including our own police force (which has become a joke in and of itself over time). Men are not protected from abuse—being beaten with shovels, for example—that could eventually cause death, but women are babied and kissed on the forehead by society if their boyfriends or husbands even bat an eyelash the wrong way. Why is that?
I no longer wanted to be a teenager, it was time to be a young lady. It was time to finally make my own decisions. During the summer of 2016 I told my parents I wanted to talk to them, so we all sat down.
My transition from childhood to adulthood took place when I got my first job, as a lifeguard, the summer of my Freshmen year of High School. During this summer I learned important skills and life lessons and by the end of the summer I had a new perspective on what it means to be an adult and the challenges that came with this transition. These skills include teamwork, communication and a new sense of responsibility.
I remember the day she born. I was nervous for the simple fact that my life would never be the same. Soon no longer would I be known as just Ayanna, I would take on a new title. A title that I would share with so many woman, and after eight long hours of labor, I would now be known to the world as mommy.
At first I didn’t understand what it meant to be an adult. I was so dependent on my parents for everything that I was blinded by my actual responsibilities. It almost seemed that I was spoiled. I started to feel guilty about asking my parents for some money to go out for the night with my friends or to pay for a football game ticket. That is when I decided that I needed to change something. In turn I thought the best way to do this was to get a job. The transition from childhood to adulthood was made through becoming employed.
The event that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was when my father became ill. My parents would do everything for me they would take me to places, buy me things, and I was very dependent on them. I had to learn to be independent because my mom would take care of my dad, and I would have to do things for myself. This tragic transformation occurred on June 5, 2015; it truly changed my life. I could never imagine this would happen to my father. Even though it took me time to truly adapt to my new reality, I felt that the changes that led to me adulthood came quickly because there was no other option. I had to adapt to adulthood.
On April 10, 2010, my life was changed forever when I gave birth to my only son. Since I have had health problems in the past I was scheduled a routine c-section. When I woke up that morning feeling very un easy and nervous because I knew it was time to go to the hospital.
Prompt: Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community or family.
Until a year ago, my life seemed effortless. I really thought I was a real adult. That was not the case. I was married for 20 years and raised children. I maintained a home and also worked. It all seemed like adult stuff to me. Unfortunately, my marriage ended and I found myself a single mom with a disability. That effortless life I had lived in no way prepared me for what was to come. I had to learn how to make decisions for myself. I am ashamed to admit that after a year of
Growing up, I had always been surrounded by adults, I knew I could rely on. The thought of being an adult, seemed very distant to me, at least that was until I entered teenagehood. At the age of 12, I went under the custody of my aunt because my mother had to move to another state, due to health reasons. Not having my mom definitely made me more self dependent. However, I still had my aunt and uncle as parent figures, who I could depend on, so I truly did not feel the need to grow up just yet.

But day by day year by year she finds the strength inside herself to go on. Since the passing of her mom her siblings have all went separate ways her brother Shane lives in Missouri with his wife and kids, her brother Jason lives in Biloxi Mississippi with his kids, and her sister lives in Missouri with her son. They don’t talk much anymore but they talk on occasion. I admire my mother. She brought me to this world, cared for me, and taught me a lot. She also listened to me all the time. She is my protector and angel in this world. In the future, if I could be a mother, I would like to be as my dear mother: a special, simple woman with a lot of love to give. My mom has inspired me to be strong and to be there for my family. She is a single parent of four, working but also trying to be there for all of us kids. Even when times get rough she is still always there for us kids. Her words of encouragement didn’t work immediately. Now that I am older and more mature I know she was right. My mom is a big motivation in my life to this day. She is standing behind me on my positive decisions in life and confronting me on the negative ones. One day I will have my own family and I hope to be half the woman my mother
