An Unforgettable Surprise Of My Life

In my life I have had many changes, some good, such as, getting married, having children and beginning my nursing career. I have also had negative changes in my life, such as, the divorce of my parents, or the death of my dad and many other family members. I must admit when changes occurred in my life I did not

Kylie and I have grown up; we’re different from those people who ran away from Mumbilli. I realised this when Kylie and I really talked. It felt like I had gotten through to her, we moved past the speech debacle and just talked. About everything. I felt so liberated, even though I don’t express my feelings well, opening up to her was the best thing I ever did with my sister. It’s nice to know that we’re on the same wavelength. Basically, Kylie and I have taken different paths to get over our grief but in the end, we’ve ended up in the same place.

And then she turned to me. I felt special that she had saved me for last. I smiled at her, and she did the same to me. We had grown inseparable over the past few years especially, but now it was time to say goodbye. I knew at that point that nothing at all would change, that we would still be sisters, still be best friends, still be inseparable. Who cares if we’re 5 ½ hours away? This was us.

My change is about when I moved to Washington from Indiana. When my real dad dropped use off at our drop off spot. We want to a store, and got a drink. After that we started to drive away, I was so many emotions. The reasons for these emotions because I was moving closer to my family, I was losing my friends.My step-dad as driving the u hale and my mom was in the truck with me, my brothers, and my grandma was in the u hale with my step-dad. We also had a two cat's in cages and a turtle which was in a small cage with a tiny bit of water. We stopped at a lot of rest stops at first. I heard my mom say "we need gas" or " call your dad and tell him to stop there."

I had been an only child for eight years so when my parents told me I was going to be a big sister I was shocked. I thought I was going to be an only child my whole life. It was normal for me to do things alone and I’m normally not thrilled about change but I was excited. We decided to name him Houston Michael Peters. He was originally supposed to be born on the thirty first of January, the same day as my dad. But he was born 2 days early on the twenty-ninth of January two thousand and fourteen and that's the day my life changed for the better.

Another critical moment in my life that changed me forever occurred in August of 2001. At the peak of hurricane season, Louisiana was terribly affected by Hurricane Katrina. Katrina devastated millions of people across the south. For the first time in my life I got to experience what it felt like to be homeless. I had lost everything! And even though it was not much, it still mattered. There were several moments when I prayed and wished that my father could be there. No child, my age should have to go through with what I did. In hopes to find assistance, my mother left me and my siblings with my grandmother for a few months. These months were terrifying. I remember crying several nights

On January 29, 2001 at around four o’clock in the afternoon, a beautiful little girl named Leslie Arreaga was born. It was the first time I was able to hold and see a baby so up close. When I saw her for the first time I didn’t know what to say. All I told my parents was “ I love her and she is perfect.” My parents laugh at me because I was only four years old when she was born. I just couldn’t believe that I was finally an older sister. I remember that every time a person would come in and try to hold her I would give them a look saying “ If you hurt her, I will hurt you.” Leslie was the most precious little baby I had ever seen in my little four year life. She was so chubby, with big brown eyes and a little heart shaped mouth. The day my

Kristin Woodsmall may have one of the biggest hearts out there. She entered a marriage that already had a child in the picture and took him into her heart as if he was her own. Since then they had another child together named, Kaia. From what was confided to me, Kristin and Tony were trying to have another child after Kaia, but unfortunately they couldn't catch a break. With losing a little bit of hope for creating another child, Kirstin made the best out of the situation. She became a caregiver for other people while being the best mother she could to Kaia. Kristin is the type of person to drop anything and everything in order to care for her children. Children always need someone to talk to and confide in, Kristin is that person for them. When you are dealing with kids you must be soft, yet tough and know how to discipline/praise them in an appropriate manner. Kristin has shown me that she knows how to do so, along with showing me

A challenging situation I had faced was moving with my family from North Carolina to Virginia. My parents told me that we were moving due to my stepdad retiring from the military and finding a new job in Virginia. We had been living in North Carolina for seven and a half years so I had spent most of my life in that small town. I was twelve at the time, so when my parents told me we were moving I remember I cried because everything I knew was there. All my memories and friends had been made in that place and I did not want to leave that. I think everything happens for a reason and that this was meant to provide a new experience. Also from that situation, it gave me a better understanding of myself. It brought me closer to my family, showed me

Have your ever thought what life would be like if one of your siblings weren’t born? I’ve thought what life would be like without my sister Kylie. Or what life would be like if my Mom didn’t have a miscarriage. My sister Jaclyn might not even be here if my Mom didn’t have a miscarriage. You will love your family more than anyone you ever meet. You will always love your family in your heart even if you say you don’t, and you will always regret how little time you spent with a family member before the family member dies.

I finally sat down beside her and held her hand. Right when she looked at me, she began to cry and my heart ached to see her in this condition. One of the moms called 911 and within 5 minutes the ambulance was at the front of Alecia’s School of Dance in Benson. The sirens were blaring so loud and Kristen grabbed my hand as tight as possible. I was getting up to move out of the way so the moms could help her stand up to walk outside to the gurney that was awaiting for her, and she looks at me and says, “Please don’t leave me. I’m so

There are many different life changing events that can change your life. Sometimes things happen in people’s life and they can’t do anything about it. Changes can be good and sometimes it can be a terrible thing that results in a positive turn in one’s life. Change is a part of life that no one looks forward to. Everyone’s life changes at some point. Life is full of many unexpected challenges that will be thrown in your face at any place and any time. People learn and grow from every experience that they go through in life. Some of the events that have changed my life was losing my grandmother, graduation, and going to college. Changes come almost every day in my life.

June 8th, 2008 was the day my whole life turned upside down. It was a hot and humid Sunday afternoon. My blond, curly headed six year old self was taking a nap on the couch in our living room with a huge window that looked out over our front yard. I used to love to stand at that window during the summer and look at the bustling neighborhood. My mom and little sister were taking a walk around the neighborhood, while my dad was in our garage tinkering with something.
