a story about a dad who was always there for his daughter

to the dad who picked up the pieces

My Father like almost every other person on the planet is my hero. I look up to my Father because he is an unbelievably strong person, wise beyond his years, and he was always there to pick up the pieces. My dad is unbelievably strong because he had to deal with my mother for years. My parents are divorced, and have been since I was a young adolescent. My mother is a person that I gave copious chances to and let me down every single time. The one person that would always be there for me when my mother let me down was my father. He was there after every time she yelled at me. Every time she made me cry over god knows what. Every time she would break my heart, my father would be there. My father is one of the strongest people I know because he has had to deal with tragic events and still looks at the positive in life. He has been through so much therefore he gives the greatest advice. After my mother would pull one of her typical moves. My father would wipe the tears off of my cheeks and sit me down to give me honest to goodness advice. The advice would entail him saying "you are stronger than you think you are. Honey, you can't cry and let her get to you because than she wins. Than you lose and are hurt yet again." I would take this advice in, I would grow each time, and I would become stronger with every breakdown/ advice session. My father would be there every single time my mother would have a freak out at me whether catastrophic or minimal. He would be there wiping the tears off of my face, to soothe

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
