this reason, my parents focused on teaching us courtesy, good behavior, and how to be a “good girl” or “good boy.” As we continued to grow, our parents encouraged the things we had interest in.

Regardless of the sport or sudden change, my parents encouraged my interests whole heartedly, which is what I continue to do with Haley and Aubrey. My parents have taught me a lot in life that I can only hope I can demonstrate

ather early on in the relationship, while Ennis remains cautious, hesitating to reveal his thoughts and emotions. This is once again played up on film, as the character’s emotional conversation is one they both take part in during the short story, though it is altered for the film. To be "open" about emotions or "closed" is not only a personal characteristic, but a cultural one as well.

Entering high school, I was a stranger to the gym. I rarely even set foot around gyms until my swimming career required it. I never felt the need or the motivation to lift weights or sweat around other people, but as I joined the high school swim team, I was greeted by many strongly built guys that truly knew their ways around the gym. The only thing that startled me was how short they were. I was quite taller than many seniors who seemed to be much stronger than me. Most importantly, my good friend

Little Mermaid doll in the same fashion as Apollo 11. We watched her rocket into the sky. I glanced at my sister, who was scrambling through her scorecards to make sure she had the well-deserved “10” ready.
