One day I was at a family party with my sister my mom could not make it neither could my dad. I kept bugging my sister to see when we would leave, finally my dad came to pick us up. I asked him were my mother was he said I would see her the following the day. The following day I got home from school and my sister told me we would be seeing my mom later. Finally a family friend came to pick us up. We arrived at the hospital. I rushed to the front desk to find out what room she was in. I rushed to the room and ran in to find my mom in a bed covered in needles. They sight was frightening and then they broke the news to me and my sister. My mom had leukemia one of the most painful things to hear. Eventually she was cured but this memory shall live with me forever.
I thought I would add this video because this was a happy memory. First rap song I ever heard. I was in third grade and ever since then I have loved rap.
AND THE WINNER IS…… JUAN C. PALACIOS!!!
Your monologue was emotional, powerful, touching, and really and truly great. You have a way of connecting with people I have noticed.
To me you strike me more than just a funny guy who comes to class late most of the time and can’t put away his cell phone…there is an inner strength and perseverance there.
It is not easy to share such a personal story (at least not for me) so I give you props for sharing it with is in more ways than one.
I look forward to seeing your monologue presented at the end of the semester show at Mason Hall. Like I tell Joan, it would be hard to forget you because you always seem to find yourself in the spotlight.
Great work and performance. It touched many. Please keep blogging and read the monologues of your classmates.
