A Day That Changed My Life

This essay is based on an event that changed my life forever. It is a passage that is mixed with feelings and emotions. This experience gave my life a purpose and a sense of direction. It allowed me to grow from a boy to a man in just one day.

My life events are something that impacted my life a lot. The most impactful is the birth of my little brother. Before he was born I had 3 sisters and that was it. Now I have 3 sisters and a red headed little brother. His birthday is February 15, 2015 and he is know 19 months old and this month was his first time on an airplane.

The day that changed my life forever was August 15, 2014; the day my identical twin brothers Landen and Brayden were born. They were born at 2.2 lbs., premature, and when they were in the womb, they had a condition known as twin to twin transfusion syndrome. In my brothers' case, Landen was the donor twin, and Brayden was the recipient twin. There was less than a fifty percent chance that the surgery required to save both of them would be successful. My parents decided to go for the surgery and attempt to save them both. Fortunately, the operation was successful, and they were both saved.

The year was 2016, and I was turning 16. In my mind I knew this would be a pivotal year for me. I had plans to obtain my driver’s license, and to gain independence. What I didn't know was that my life was going to be impacted drastically.

"I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person." - Rita Moreno

The day that Antonio ran out of food on September 9th, 1971 and it rained like cats and dogs. In the town of Jamestown where our saying is,”Nothing happens here, just nothing at all.” I had to pay the loan I had acquired. The loan collector had collected nothing which was bad since I Ire supposed to give back the money I borrowed back. I didn’t have the money so they basically took all our food. I lacked money, in fact, I only had 5 dollars but I borrowed 50 dollars. Then one day I bought a pumpkin from a trafficker. That day changed our lives forever.

Live Without Regret: You go through many experiences in your life- some joyful, some painful, and some confusing- but no matter what happens, regret nothing. Everything you persevere through teaches you a valuable lesson- you have the choice to live with fear or love.

My phone died right after I had talked to my mom but I didn’t think it was a big deal until I heard a loud thumping noise coming from the back of my car. At that point I knew I had a flat tire and was going to end up changing it on my own, I guess you can say I was thankful my dad taught me how to jumpstart a car and change tires. Last but not least, was the day I held my mother in my arms, a day that changed my life for the good and made me realize that not every bad situation has a bad outcome. My family had been going through a rough time, my mom was stressed and wasn’t eating the way she should have been. My mother is diabetic and suffers from hypoglycemia so it’s important for her to eat unless her blood sugar will drop. That day I couldn’t watch out for her because I had to work the whole

I’ve gone through heartbreak, the loss of family/friends (not necessarily death), and just plain bad decisions. Even though I may have regretted those decisions at the time, I know that they have made me who I am. On the other hand, I have had amazing experiences. I’ve gone through friendship, love, and once in a lifetime experiences. So even though at the time I may have screamed, cried, and reacted less what some would call “healthy” I know in the end I will laugh, smile, and be with the people that make my life worth living.

An accident last year changed my attitude towards life . That accident had a great impact on me , it taught me to treasure what i have and to treasure those people around me more . Although the accident was not life threatening , it was still the scariest thing i had ever been through in life . It was an accident that no one would have expected and wanted it to happen .

I cannot think of a single event that has changed my life. I believe that who someone is determined on their genes and how they were raised over a long period of time, such as who their parents are, where they live and how others sway their beliefs. Because of the thing that happen to use in the past it will determine the decisions we make later on. The outcome of those decisions will further change who we are. Also sudden tragic events will change a person's life by making their outlook on life different. Although someone's opinions on the world doesn't have to be changed by bad thing happening to them. For instance, if someone is going through a hard time and suddenly something changes to make things easier people have more faith than they

Don't be afraid to live. Have no regrets! Yet living with a purpose, a good heart, and learning from our mistakes that we always tends to be what we regret. If it  weren't for those mistakes that we made, it would be hard to live the lives that we live now. This will be hard because those experiences that we have will always just keep helping us to make the correct decisions next time. For example I am not a good reader, I am always messing up on words and thought that I would never be able to read like everyone else.

March 5, 2012 altered my life. I was in Orlando, Florida with my dance team. We competed at nationals the day earlier. The whole team was overjoyed with the results of the weekend. We got up at the crack of dawn to witness the spectacular world of Harry Potter at the Islands of Adventure. Honestly speaking, I wasn’t so fond of the idea of waking up at 5am just to see the magical world of Harry. I was yanked out of my comfy bed, yet after enough torture trying to get me off the bed, I was given five minutes to get ready. They raced towards the park as I walked slowly.

Life is a movie...each scene is that of preparation for the next. All things happen for a reason, and if I could go back and change any one event from my past, I wouldn’t because anything that has happened to me, good or bad, has molded me into the person I am today. I am proud of who I have become as well as I am proud of the things that I live by and live for. Not to say that I am perfect, nor will I ever be, but I will be the first to admit that. I haven’t lived much life, but I’ve lived enough to know what I want out of life and why I want those things. I’ve watched my family struggle, I know how it feels to come up short, and I know how it feels to triumph.

Personally, I have a strong belief that everything happens for a reason. That we all go through predetermined stages in our life. Whether good or bad, it was meant to be. I have experienced many different hardships in life where I question if things will ever get better or if there was anything I could do to change the outcome. Unfortunately, I cannot dictate the future and manipulate the present the way I see fit. My destiny is out of my control and fate determines my life. A few months ago, I faced the most difficult time of my life and it was fate the events that followed.
