A Significant Experience That Changed Your Life.

My mother and father, They have gave me the ultimate love To their best ability. I have learned to love others And to love myself. They have taught me not to judge, but to care about your own actions.

Growing up my dad didn't have the best childhood. Even with a rough childhood my dad still succeeded in life. He got a good job and started a family. When ever we ask him why he sacrifices so much for us he simply says,"I want to give you a better life than I had". My dad has given me the best life I could have ever asked for.

One of the best stories about my dad is when my dad saved his best friend's life. When my dad was younger, he and his buddy Sam were at a golf tournament, and were drunk and rode ATVs in the woods. When Sam stood up and smacked his head on a tree branch, and my dad threw him in the back of the truck, and rushed him to the hospital. If it were not for that Sam would no longer be here, so my dad saved his life, so all this happening to my dad was really hard on Sam because there was nothing he could do to help my dad like he helped Sam. People would go and get food for one another, support each other. We did not know how long this surgery would take no one told us other than six hours, but six hours passed and no one came out and told us anything, so we were very curious about why no one was coming to tell us anything.

"I love you too," I cried. The thoughts of my son on a battlefield fighting for his life haunted me.

Through all of the challenging things that took place while my father was fighting cancer, I learned many valuable lessons. My parents decided that my father would undergo chemotherapy and radiation at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Newnan, Georgia. Normally, they would be gone for about two weeks at a time, but there were a couple occasions that my parents were forced to stay there for months due to major surgeries. Home alone in Florida, my brother and I had very different schedules. So, I was alone most of the time. I was only a sophomore in high school, and I found myself having to do pretty much everything on my own. Even though it was onerous, this time in my life is very meaningful to me. It taught me that I will not always have someone to rely on. Even if it was a little earlier than normal, I am thankful that I was forced to become as independent as I am today. I value this chapter in my life, because I believe that being strong and independent is very critical to being able to survive in the world we live in

A mother who made many sacrifices and went days without eating to make sure that I did. A mother who taught me the significance of education, religion, and morals and values. One who told me to respect others, to open the door for his elders, to have manners, to let ladies go first, to treat others the way he’d like to be treated, and best of all to help and give to others less fortunate than him. She has provided me with the best possible education that a waitress with two kids can. This education has brought me many great teachers who have genuinely cared about me and my future. Teachers who have pushed me to be better academically and in my own life. I have also had friends who have motivated and competed with me to bring out the best in each

The conversation with my father changed my life for the better, I found out about the mental issues I was having, which helped me see why I was the way I was. It was all possible because I did something my other brothers were too afraid to do, stand up to our father about how we were being treated unfairly. I wouldn’t want to have that conversation again, but I’m glad that I

“Your father was unfortunately born to the wrong century,” he sighed. “A good man, but the sins of his father fell to him in war. He was a good...friend.”

“Thank you, and you are one of the most important people in my whole life, and that’s why I asked you to do

“It started off great. He was sweet and romantic and my family loved him. He would bring me flowers or strum his guitar for me.”

Even today, I am still healing and recovering from some of the emotional and psychological effects. However, through loving family, friends, my husband, and regaining an understanding of who I am and how strong I can be, I have been able to rebuild a healthy lifestyle and a positive understanding of myself.

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 .

It was one life-changing experience I was seven years old when I became grateful for the things that I had. I remember packing for this big trip my parents were planning for a year now. I precisely recall my mother telling me to go through my closet and pick clothes I did not use to give away, I didn't know why, but I didn't ask, I just did it. As the day got closer I remember my parents had accumulated a great amount of things to give away. I quite didn't understand why they were gathering so many things and for what reason.

A life-changing event is not something to be taken lightly. Throughout our lives, we encounter many obstacles and changes, some of which bring us joy and excitement, others of which may be hard for us to handle. When I look back on my relatively short life, it may, at first, be hard for me to think of an event that has truly molded and shaped the person that I am today. I have encountered several changes, but at the time, they felt like mere speed bumps along my path. Looking back now, it is easy for me to see that these changes were not by chance, but were placed in my path to form the person that I am today.

In life we all have something that has changed the way we perceive things. Most things that change a person’s perception happens to be an experience that they have gone thru and learned from. In my case it wasn’t necessarily an experience, it was a dog that changed my perception on life. My mind and heart was opened in a whole new way. I never thought I could love an animal just as much as I loved the people in my life. I always thought it was strange that pet owners loved and treated their pets the same way they treated their children. My perception on dogs or pets in general definitely changed. Throughout this paper you will see why I am a totally different person because of a dog that entered my life.
