Throughout my life, many events have influenced me and have changed me to who I am now. Looking back at a year ago, I am a different person today than I was back then. My values and meaning in my life have changed. My feelings have come and gone for different scenarios. With all these changes and everything that has impacted me within the last year, I have always had my family. My family has impacted me the most with my views and values. Throughout this past year, we have had many changes in my family. My sister, Rachel, had a baby boy, my other sister, Paige, graduated from college, and I am so much closer to my mom because my parents are divorced. Throughout all the tough and shocking times my family is always there. These situations …show more content…
My parents are divorced and have been since the end of my 8th-grade year. I didn’t take it well because I was younger and couldn’t understand why. Since my parents have gotten a divorce my father has somewhat fallen out of my sister’s and my life. He is still there and will always be my dad, but he just isn’t around a lot. Also, my other sister, Paige, graduated with an engineering degree. This is a specific example of how big situations and changes brings my family together. When Paige graduated from the University of Dayton we all traveled to Ohio, including my dad. That was the first time I had see him in a while and it was nice. After the graduation, we all went to dinner and then went our separate ways. I still occasionally talk to my dad, but overall my mom is the main parent in my life. With my parents being divorced and not talking to my dad that much me and my mom have gotten very close. At first, I kinda blamed my mom for the divorce because I stayed with her more and she was always there to blame. As I got older I realized it wasn’t just my mom. Between the end of 8th-grade year and now I think of my mom completely different. I tell her a lot more and we just have a good
When asked who has had a significant influence on me, I was forced to stretch my mind. There are so many people who have pushed me to become a better version of myself in every way possible, but there is one person in specific who comes to mind. My sister, Emma Riedl, has been a role model to me since I was able to walk (she taught me). She is my hero and best friend. Emma is has had a significant influence on me due to her drive and hard work and her ability to be strong and independent.
Growing up, English speaking, oldest child from California, my definition of family has changed a lot over the years, but no matter the changes my family has always had a strong impact on my life. When I was growing up, I was always around family. Christmas Eve was always spent with my mom’s
Throughout my life there have been few people that have made an impact in my life, but the one that has made the greatest influence in me is my older and only sister, Diana Cienfuegos. Although we often argue, I know I was very fortunate to have someone who guided me through the right path in life. My sister has been my role model as a student, given me strength when I need it, and helped me in whatever she could to make me happy.
My family was and is still very important in my life. Sometimes I would become melancholy when I think about how far apart I am from them. On the other hand, I do become enlightened when I think about how both sides of my families are close when I visit them in Missouri. As a child, never really had a birthday party or received a lot of presents, but when my family comes during my birthday, I feel like I’m receiving hundreds of presents. My family makes me feel safe and secure when I’m feeling down.
However, the most significant one is my family. They have taught me important values such as manners, what is right and wrong, and how to prepare myself for the future. This year, I have experienced
When I was a kid me and my mom didn't really get along all that much, always had problems, and I never knew exactly why that was. I tried everything I could to avoid any and all fights and arguments, so I did everything she wanted and whatever she said to cease all of it. Things didn't get any better, they more like they got much much worse, I was finally able to move out in with biological father and things seemed to go good for awhile I was sent to military school and made out of that. Moved back home and moved out on my own and working 2 jobs to pay for all the bills, so when you're living with mom and dad don't take for granted what they give you cause its hard when you're on your own. Graduated high school doing everything that a young
My family’s background has influenced me greatly. It’s helped me learn to appreciate life and not take things for granted. The reason for this is because my parents were poor. Both had to drop out of school in the third and fourth grade to go work in the fields to help my grandparents and their families put bread on the table. They moved here to the United States from Mexico in their early 20’s completely empty handed with no skills in many fields to show for and no education. They knew they were at a disadvantage and it was going to be difficult to build from scratch in their new country, but they knew that here in the U.S. they had many more opportunities to make something out of themselves and not let my siblings and I go through the same
Family means the world to me in every aspect, but a person that means even more then that is my sister, Jordan. She paved my life for me without me knowing; she is always there for me and believes in me when I do not believe in myself. Jordan and I very similar in the way that if we had the chance to do everything together we would take every opportunity we could get. How our relationship developed was like every pair of young sisters, we did not get along very well when we were younger because we took the days we had together for granted. The day she left for college is when it really hit me that she was the biggest inspiration in my life. What made us as close was going through our parent’s divorce, it was a life changing experience, and I would have never gotten
2016, in the end of 5th grade, my parents officially got divorced and went to court dealing and working through the changes. Because of that, my parents now live separately, which is hard in my life now because some days I can’t see my mom or some days I can’t see my dad. At this time period, I struggled a lot in school and couldn’t focus. Though they might be divorced and separated, they luckily are now happier than before! We now have a schedule to organize things. Me and my sisters stay at my mother's house during the school week, while on the weekends, we stay at my father's home. This affected me in a bad and good way. Bad thing is that switching houses and having the leave or go to each others house, it's quite complicated, but the good thing is that I finally have my own room and my parents are much happier.
In my life my parents have been the most influential people because they’re successful people and push me to always do better. My family background has affected the way i see the world because of the advice my dad gave me when i was a child. My education has contributed to who I am today because it has given me smarts both in the world and in the classroom. My background has shaped who I am so I can see how i do things differently than other
My family means everything and more to me. They are my support, backbone, and give me the motivation to put forth my best efforts in everything I do. When I decided to start a new path after my Marine Corps career, going to school was one of many options I had. With the encouragement and support of my family I made the choice to go back to college eventually pursuing my dreams of attending TCU. When I made that choice I made a commitment to them to be the best student possible. My first year in college was an experience that was different than anything I was used to but I stayed true to my commitment earning academic honors, and scholarships. Every decision I make I do so with my family in mind.
My family undoubtedly defines who I am, and they allowed me to give back to the community by showing my friends excitement. We love to travel the world to see every tourist attraction and experience different cultures. My parents love to explore, and they pulled my brother and I into their love of exploration.
In this world, there are events in your life that change you for the better or worse. These are the moments you should hold dear to, either valuable or dreadful, the most because of your experience you can learn from them or remember why that event changed you for the better. Today I will be telling you three events that transformed me for the surpassing.
What has the most impact on my life is my brother who I think is a very smart person who always knows what he's talking about. He is the person who opened my eyes to see the world in a different type of way.
My parents have been divorced for about fourteen years. I used to live with my father in China for about nine years, and I had not seen my mother when I was living with my father. About five years ago, I moved to the United States to live with my mother, and we were really like strangers because we had no seen each other for so many years. At first, it was really difficult to live with her because we did not understand each other, and we did not know how to deal with our relationship. My mother treated me with a deep patience, however, we still had some arguments.
