2.

My mom was said to be a good mom until one day in my ninth year, she left my two brothers and me forever. What she did puzzled me and changed everything in my life, though I never shed a tear. My dad did what he could to keep our life as normal as possible, prompting us to remain grateful to God. The revisiting of the memory of my mom during my senior year of high school made me understand that I needed to grieve my mom so that I could move on to a new chapter of my life. I couldn’t find anyone to whom to discharge my emotions until I participated in Kathy Rudy’s Baldwin Scholars freshman seminar in Duke, where I learned to let go of my mother and was able to make sense of some of the things in my life. Notice of the speculation of my mother’s death left me shockingly unaffected, for the grief and the pressures imposed upon my life by my mom were already released. The whole issue taught me that people need to deal with the past by understanding it, then leaving it behind, and most importantly, acknowledging pain as an opportunity for growth.
