………. I'm Asian, and like most Asian families, I have strict parents; however, my parents believe in me and are really proud of my hard work. One thing that keeps me in line and doesn't relax me is my sister. My sister, her name is Man, is ten years old and has Down syndrome. She is a sweet girl who is quite cheerful and makes everyone laugh by the silly things she does. My sister is always there for me, when I need a hug or a laugh. He can walk but cannot talk and almost dies during the surgery. I have often asked God why my sister is the one who goes through bad things even though she is a good person, but this is just a lifestyle. No one can escape misfortunes, it's just like a smoke floating above our heads. My sister is my motivation, the reason I am who I am today. Without her I would be an empty shell. Thesis ………I am just an ordinary person who everyone thinks is extraordinary in this world. I'm not the girl with a smile on my face every day. I like to act tough even if I'm at my weakest point. I like to act tough because I don't want people to worry about me. Things put pressure on me every day, crush me and drown me. I like to keep my feelings secret so that I don't have to deal with unnecessary emotions. The things I do to be accepted are work hard to get the grades my parents and teachers expected; however, I don't want to try sometimes. People see me as someone hard working, honest and quiet, but I'm not who they think they know. Sometimes, I just want to let it all go, be lazy and burst out screaming. I was bullied during sixth grade; in the school I went to there were a lot of Mexicans and only five or six Asians. They make fun of my name and my race; they......middle of paper......mine is to save the planet because I want to protect nature and protect animals. I love nature; nature is the place where I can be myself. My motivation for nature is the plants I've grown because it's fun to see things grow into little green shoots and they've made me very happy. I like to give back what I took and make the planet green and healthy. Without trees there would be no oxygen and the planet would be dead. I want to think about future generations who depend on us, current generations, to make a difference. It is sad to see nature being slowly destroyed by humans, by careless humans. It is also sad to see animals going extinct and dying due to greedy humans who need animal skins for fashion and money. I want to protect those animals because they are important for nature and without the animals the planet would also be dead.
