When my sister ran away from home my viewpoint on the situation was much different from everyone else. From my view i had to make sure my sister was safe but also make sure i keep myself out of trouble and not make the situation worse than it already was. My perspective was i have a runaway sister who refuses to come home but is seeking my help and that i have a furious mom out looking for her so i helped my sister hid for the night with intention to bring her home the next day. My mom's perspective on the situation was that her daughter was running around on the streets at night and she had no idea where she was and was worried about her well being. When i was in the desert i was having trouble lighting a bonfire cause i couldn't find a lighter i remembered that you can use a magnifying glass to start a fire and i knew that my grandpa usually had one in his truck so i grabbed it and put so dry twigs on top of the gasoline soaked wood. I angled the magnifying glass to aim on the dry twigs and after about a minute it started to catch fire i backed up a little bit and the fire erupted and viola i had done it. Lastly i am unique because of my passion and natural skill with motorcross. My favorite thing in the world is my dirtbike and when i ride it's a demonstration of my talent and skill as a rider My greatest talent is riding motor cycles. I showcase this talent on weekends and time off from school. My skills now compared to when i started at 3 have drastically changed. I am on a bigger bike for one with more power and i also ride a 2-stroke instead of a 4-stroke which gives it more torque. Also a 2-stroke has an added “powerband” which will momentarily throw the bike into over drive. Next i am more skilled and can handle more hazardous trails and tracks with ease. This skill is important to me because it was introduced by dad and grandparents and has always created family moments and memories for me. Although i feel a lot of my talent is natural and i was almost like a prodigue when i first started picking up the sport amazingly fast i did put a lot effort into honing my skills at young age with the intent to become a regular motocross participant. I trained literally everyday after school until night with my grandpa by the time i was 5 i had the skills of intermediate and today i have honed my skills and worked hard enough that i me and even my grandfather and dad would consider me at almost a professional level of riding.
One advantage i have had in school is that my mom deeply cares about my high school success and is solely focused on me graduating and being prepared for the adult world. My mom is constantly asking me about my grades so i'm always know where i'm at every week. My mom is also willing to sign me up for peer counseling or anything that might help me study and finish my work. My mom is willing to go out of her way to insure that i get the classes i need for me to pass and or to get academic help i might need, as long as the program or activity is for school or will benefit me for school she will pay for me to go or allow it. My mom is one of the most supportive people in my life and she always pushes for me to keep my grades up even though i might lack the motivation or willpower to do my homework even if i have given up on myself and just want to quit and give up on school my mom will never give up on me it will push her to try even harder to do whatever it takes for me to succeed and excel in school and to excel when i step into the adult world for the first time. The most significant challenge i have faced was the divorce of my parents. In order to get over this i had to work very long and hard. First i had to realize that no matter what happens or what i do that i couldn't fix this situation i was to young and too immature to know what to do. Next i had to learn how to only have one real parent around all the time not both which was the most difficult for me cause i wanted to have both my parents. After that i had to learn the hard way that even tho i might not understand the decisions my parents made regarding me they were making the right decisions. Next i had to learn to accept my brand new step dad this was also a very difficult step to accomplish because my bond with my father was so close i felt as tho my stepdad was here to challenge my father's role as a parent which created a deep a resentment inside of me. Lastly i had to find a way to build a healthy relationship with my mom even tho we may not see eye to eye.
