I have five brothers and two sisters, knowing that I am the most beautiful, but I was the only one among my brothers fat. When I was fourteen years old, my mother was always criticizing me, and compare between her niece and me. She looks to them thin and beautiful not like me fat and ugly.
And when we go out to our friend, cousin she always tells me don’t eat or I will embarrass you in front of everyone. I know she wanted my advantage, but she didn’t know it's been frustrating, which makes me jealous and hate each person nicer or thinner than me.
My biggest sister was very interested in me, she took me to the doctor of nutrition after conducting the necessary tests he said that my problem is not with eating, but my problem is psychological. And we went to a psychiatrist and said yes, it's a psychological problem because of the pressure from your mother and compare them between you. Also, she takes a good care of them and loves them more than me. That’s the reason why am I in here?
The obesity was not hereditary in my family, but when I feel sadness or anger there hormone in my body secretes a substance that helps in increasing weight even if I don’t eat anything.
After that, my sister told all around me so, without my to let me know, but I felt a change in everyone quickly they became praise me than I was recovering my confidence for myself somewhat.
And I lost ten kilos in a period ranging from one month to two months without any diet or sport. And then I got married and became me my opinions not like when I was with my family I was tied between them, but thank God that my husband is very great person and understands and even when my weight increased in the period of my pregnancy of my children he does not critical of me and did not hurt my feelings that was the most important thing for me because I was deprived of this trust.
But now for myself, and then my husband I would like to lose weight.
I was not have the courage to tell anyone about what is going on in my mind, but in this class I feel comfortable to share whatever I feel…

My mother my best teacher
I believe that we have to learn more things; and things in this life and it should be the right things from the right person. Thus we will learn from there experience in this life and they are going to be our ideal. Actions speak louder than words, so everyone will find the right person from the situation. In my view my mother is my best teacher in this life .She have impacted me a lot of things during my life, she was by my said during high school, and I learned from her a lot of lessons.
When I was child my mother was the one that impact me. Unfortunately my father pass away when I was four years old, then she decide to raise us my three brothers and I, she didn’t get marred until now and she wouldn’t. Indeed my mother saw and learned a lot from her life by her own, and then she taught us what she had learned. Obviously she would like to make us “perfect” as every mother wants her kids to be. So while I’m growing up I learned from her several things. She is the one that I can’t move one step without her point of view. The most important thing that I had learned it from her is how to communicate with others especially with my friends, how to feedback the people in all their cases when they’re sad, happy, feel bad or good. During my middle school life I know how to deal with people around me. She has a strong personality that means when she just ask me to do something I have to do it at the same time. She’s playing a big role in my life. Each day I learn from her new things, for instance: she is keep watching us and notice what we are doing and if there is something wrong happen she talk with us and let us explain why we did that, So she let us learn from our mistakes in that way as she’s always understand us.
The most period that my mother and I be so close from each other when I just attend to high school, she’s keep advising me that not all the people around me are good there is some mean people that I haven’t listen to them. As much we be away from those kind of people we will be safe, subsequently we will not get heart. I think that teenager stage is the sensitive stage in our life so we need some person to be beside us. I decide to choose my mother that person; I choose her my best friend and my best teacher not even in this period of my life but also in my whole life. On day I went to school so early until I’m done from my first two classes I feel like tired and so many of stress from our high school work moreover the mean girls around me and how they treat me. Then when I just get back home my mother notice that on my eyes and she gives me some positive words and what should I do. .
Well, starting with how I met depression. At the age of 12, I lo.docxjane3dyson92312
Well, starting with how I met depression. At the age of 12, I lost my grandfather to Cancer. It was a shock for me to hear that my grandfather is gone. I still remember when my older sister came to me crying, and told me that our grandfather passed away. I pushed her and said no! You’re lying. I went to my mother and asked where my grandfather was. She hugged me and cried badly. I wasn’t prepared for at this sad news, because my grandfather was everything to me. I then ran towards his room to see him but I found nobody there. I started shouting and calling my grandfather. I used to call him daddy. I was shouting dadddyyy where are you? Daddy, daddy. But he didn’t answer me. Usually when I came back from school I shouted daddy where you are? And most of the times he was in the living room hiding behind the curtains, trying to scare me by making all sort of sounds. I knew that there’s no ghost over there, that it my grandfather but I used to overreact as if I was afraid and then he hugged me, took out sweets from his pocket and said” My doll is getting afraid, next time I’ll scold this ghost who scares my little princess. After that, we both laughed together. I used to tell him my whole day routine, everything I have done in school. All the stories and incidents that happened over there. And he used to suggest how to react in every situation. What’s good or bad for me? I was attached to my grandfather a lot. He meant the world to me. I remember when was ill. He was diagnosed with liver cancer. I was only 11 years old then, I didn’t know exactly what sort of this disease it was. My father used to take daddy to the hospital everyday, and I wasn’t allowed to go with them. Those days were worst day of my life. I used to write letters to my daddy that it was okay if I am not supposed to see you but I needed to you etc. He started chemotherapy therapy, and this was not an easy treatment to deal with. There are ups and downs. And there was a time came when doctors clearly said that he can die at any time. After listening to this life-ending sentence, my father cried badly. He used to spend his most of the time with daddy. One day, when I was back from school, my father came and said daddy is calling you. I was like oh wow now I can meet him after a week. And I rushed towards his room. As I entered he was lying on his bed, for an instance I thought that he is someone else. He was not looking like my daddy. He became too weak. And then I asked my father he is not my daddy. Where he is? My father didn’t replied but left the room while crying. I was staring at my daddy. And when he called me “my little princess come here” I recognized his voice. I ran towards him and asked what had happened to you? He said nothing I am fine. But you know one day everybody has to leave this planet. You have to make a promise to me that you will take a lot of care of your parents. You will become my brave girl. You will always consider what I taught to you. At that moment .

Linkers
1. Transitions (Linkers)
Linkers, also called transition words or adverbial conjunctions, can be used to begin sentences.
Put a comma after most linkers (except Then).
Linkers follow a period with a capital letter:
She doesn't type very fast. In addition, she can't spell.
She works fast. Consequently, she finishes early.
or they can follow a semi-colon with a small letter:
She doesn't type very fast; in addition, she can't spell.
She works fast; consequently, she finishes early.

Larry and Harry
On reflection, I really loved Larry a lot, but I knew I shouldn't keep going out with him! First of
all, he cursed and swore all the time, on the street and even in church! Secondly, he dressed like a child,
in torn, dirty jeans.
At first, I thought he was youthful and free-spirited, but then I realized that he was just
immature. Next, I found out that he still lived with his mother, and a little later, I found out that he
didn't even have a job. After this, somebody told me that he was living on money that his dead father
had left him and that he had never worked a day in his life.
After some careful thought, I told him to stop calling me, but despite that, he kept leaving
messages on my phone. Soon he gave up calling me, and finally, I was rid of him.
Gradually, I got used to being without him even though I missed him. Little by little, I started
going out again, and after a while, I met some really nice guys at parties. After some time, I began
dating men, and eventually, I met Harold, who is my current husband.
Hopefully, my daughter will meet somebody who is funny and free-spirited like Larry was, but,
with any luck, he will also be responsible and considerate like her father is. In the future, I will be
ready to give her a mother's advice when she starts dating men.
