Day by day goes by and I always wondered what every homeless person’s story was. What led them to that point in life to give up so easily? Living in New York City there is a lot of benefits for any and every one. We wonder why they continue to stay on the streets when they can easily go to the shelter or try on their feet. I came to realization that everyone has a different story. Each person doesn’t have the same story line. We pass each homeless person thinking the reason he’s begging is to support his or her habits well we are wrong. Every day I would pass John Doe and I would wonder what his story was. He looked so humble and would take anything you gave him, be it food, drink or money. I asked one day What led you to this point of your life and why can’t you get help, so he told me that “there was one point in his life that he was very successful and had everything he wanted except a family of his own”.
   We then start to wonder what happened. Well john told me how he once had friends and family and being the loving, caring and humble person that he was whenever some would need help he wouldn’t hesitate to help because he thought they would do the same for him. Well that’s wrong because the opposite happened as things were looking bad for him, right before his eyes everyone else started to become successful and no one would help. I found his story so sad because I knew how he felt and been through it a thousand times. Growing up my mother always told me when you do things for A do not expect A to do it back for. Expect it from somewhere else. Basically when you do something for someone expect the blessing from someone else. It’s like karma in a good way.

Dear mother blog 5

      This story elaborate on my mother  when  she was about 10 years younger. My questions to her was about her like with and before. Where did she see herself 10 years  ago. What did she think her life would be like and also why did she do the things she did. When I would ask this before she would come  up with answers just escape the obvious.  What is interesting about her is I want to know what ran threw her mind when she did the things she did, knowing the consequences. I didn't grow up with my mother, so growing up when I see mother talk about how much they cherish there kids ,it makes me wonder why couldn't my mom have been like those women who cherished  their children. She said alot of hurtful stuff that sometimes I wondered if I was hers.
  It's sad that for some children that rich love that they have for their parents they can never get back.  Makes me wonder why do we have parents  and why were  we assigned to these  specific people who have no care in the world. It's hurts the most when the one person who you expected  love from doesn't love you back. You wonder why the world was so cruel. It's sad when that one person find love in other things and not her children.

Blog assignment 4 Toure what's inside you brother

The memoir  for Toure's brought a sense of someone who was stronger at heart  but think with a negative mind.  He reminded me of someone I know who always wanted to be good at everything and was good but beat themselves up for everything they didn't do right. Some people don't not believe in atleast failing onetime. I used to think like that.  There isn't a perfect person in this world and we cannot be good at everything . We have to at least accommodate failure  onetime in our lives.  Everything in life cannot glitter.  And we also cannot beat our selves up for everything. That's weighs down on us and leads to depression.  Toure held a lot of emotions and he let his emotions get the best of him. He practically  bulled himself. He let's the judgments of other people get the best of him. He wanted to be like the other great  African Americans from.back in the day. He wanted  to be like the fighter of the past. We all have special talent but we have to find it from within.  He loved boxing but couldn't box which was okay but he didn't want to accept that he couldn't.  It's okay to love something but you don't have to  pursue  it  and in Toure's case that what he did

Blog assignment 2 Tara Bahrampour

The story Persian on the Pacific reminded me of a broken family that came together. We've all seen some families  that are so broken but it takes one little solution to join them back together. There's all the one family member that feels different from all the rest because the rest  of the family is into the culture and then it takes that one family gathering  to solve the problem.  Culture is every where like  in Los irangles, in New York  we have the same. In New York every neighborhood  has either a African, Spanish or Caribbean  community which brings everyone together. Although  not all related  everyone is treated like family. What I'm trying to say is although he felt out of place once he experienced the culture the more he wanted to belong. As young adults he found it weird that his parents wanted to escape  cause to him he only saw the good things of  Iranian  community.  He didn't see the pain that the people of Iranian  had cause. His people or  bad things that the people of Iranian choose to hide.  He only saw the fun part of embracing culture  and learning the language  and eating interesting delicatessen.

Grandma's kitchen

This is were the magic happened I always wondered  what her secret ingredients  were and how she combined such weird items to produce such great tasting goods. It is interesting because I live watching grandmother cook and bake and make interested recipes.
