Foreclosure. My home has been a place of healing for many broken hearts, both literally and figuratively. When I hear the word foreclosure, my heart stops. My parents are first generation immigrants from India and have been fighting to make ends meet since 2007. In 2007, they moved to a bigger house in the suburbs of Pennsylvania to ensure that my brother and I would receive a quality education.My house was foreclosed on December 4, 2014. My parents never told me because they were ashamed. The stress of this resulted in my father having a heart attack on January 15, 2015 during my junior year of high school. As of today, there is a court case going on entailing details of how long we can live in our house but I’m still so scared. Nobody knows
One morning at about 8:00 a.m. when I woke up I went outside and looked down the street and saw some of my neighbors houses destroyed. For example the windows had been bashed in, their would be holes in the front door like someone had kicked their foot in it, and it looked like someone ran their mailbox over with a car. I went back inside to tell my family what I saw so that they would know. After I had finished telling them they ran outside to see it for themselfs. My mother and father looked as if they were about to cry in sadness and anger at the same time.

This character trait of Vladek’s is a result from his role within his own family throughout the Holocaust. We learn rather quickly that his entire family relied on him to be their protector as well as their provider. It was Vladek’s job to find work to make money and get food for survival and it was also his role to make sure his family was being protected in every way that he could. He was constantly putting himself in harms way and at risk to ensure the survival of his family. This manifested in Vladek’s mind as his role far longer after than the Holocaust lasted.

I got to experience living in another city and the only thing I hated was the fact that my family was not as close as we used to be before the storm had hit. I know for a fact that I would have never got the opportunity to make the friends that I have now because of it. I know now that is very important to prepare for yourself any kind of disaster. Also, I realized that whoever said live your life to the fullest was a genius because who will know what would happen to you. My life after the storm just made me become the strong young lady am and
In my brief life, I have overcome a lot of adversity. My mom fled Mexico with her three young children to escape domestic violence. When we came to this country we had only a few personal belongings and the promise of a better future. We came to this country and lived in a small trailer with no toilet other than a bucket, and no shower except for the one that was lent to us from the kindness of a stranger, our new neighbor. As a single parent, my mother had to work day and night to support us.
The 2007 U.S. mortgage crisis, later evolved into the more infamously known, 2008 housing crisis, was an economic collapse triggered by defaulted loans and mortgages in the U.S. However, it is seldom known that the effects of the U.S. mortgage crisis affected far more than just the U.S. Due to foreign dependence on U.S. securities, and the decreased capital-flow abroad, the mortgage crisis escalated into a global recession from as far as East Asia, to the relatively close U.K. This crisis was not created by one single thing, much like most other events of this scale, but created by a deadly combination of faulty government oversight, financial fraud, and the misuse of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Sub-prime loans, which when combined with the rest, proved to be the final push for the collapse of the U.S. housing industry.

When it was time for us to leave, I felt like I was leaving the world behind me. I was very heartbroken because, this is a place where I lived almost my whole life. I never imagined us picking up everything and leaving to relocate to another town. My emotions were getting the best of me, a lot was going through my young mind. As we were pulling off I remembered all the fun times I had with my friends and family in that house.

About two months after they told us, my dad found an apartment about 10 minutes away from my childhood home. It was small, but not the worst place to live. The only downside was that it was a two bedroom apartment, meaning that I would have to share a room with my younger brother. Since I was
