Defining Moment

My life changed dramatically when my son was ten months old. My husband and I decided to tell my mother in law that she cannot be a part of our lives. We had every reason to tell her because my mother in law did not come to see our son and she favored her other two grandchildren. She made promises to us that she will come to our baby shower, his birth, and to come visit more often which never happened. We were tired of getting our hopes up. we did not want our son to go through the same heart ache. Two years went past and I received news that she was going to be in town for a family function. She said she wanted to see us. I could feel in my chest, my heart pumping. Deep down my husband and I both wanted to talk to her again. This was our chance. A week before the family reunion my husband and I were nervous and wondered if that was the right thing to do for our son. We went through the week thinking of the worst thing that can happen. Finally, the day before the reunion our nerves have settled and we started to think positive. I thought to myself it will be good because our son will have his grandma and he can build his own opinion of her.

Where would you most like to live? I would love to live in Philadelphia,PA right by the Eagles stadium. The reason I would love to live here because I am a HUGE Eagles fan. I would love to go there and tailgate in the parking lot with other Eagles fans or buy season tickets and go every sunday with friends. If I can not make it to a game like monday or thursday I would still love to hear the fireworks go off and the announcer commentate the game.

Because both places are lovely and great places to live, I could see myself living in both. I think that moving out of Iowa to Savannah after college before I settle down would be a great eye-opener and allow me to experience more American culture. I would love the history and being close to the beach at all times. Then, like my parents, when I’m ready to settle down, move back to Iowa close to

Topic Sentence: The Military Service Act was vital in maintaining contribution of soldiers to Britain, Canadians faced the harsh conditions of war and were forced to serve into war without a strong motive to fight.

To start, my dream home would consist of multiple houses to make a family village. My family relies on each other, and being in different counties or even states makes it a lot harder to assist each other. We all have different size families, as well. Therefore living in a circuit of mansions would be a wise way to accommodate everyone. These mansions would be separated from the outer world by a 100-yard deep forest. There would be either a heated

It was Friedrich Nietzschehas who said, “What doesn’t kill you makes, you stronger”. I like to call these moments in a person’s life, “defining moments”. Additionally, I like most people, have had a few of these “defining moments”; probably more than one person should. Growing up, I had a hard time accepting one of my “won’t kill you-make you stronger” moments. It was a moment of betrayal and deceit, inflicted upon by a person I trusted fully and completely, with my life. My mother.

As a young child I had always been fascinated with animals and taking care of their special needs. My love for animals has carried with me throughout my childhood and into my high school years. Veterinarians are one of many types of doctors that save lives every day. As a vet or ASPCA member, you care for many different types of animals and their needs. Many animals have special needs, life altering needs, and restrictions. I will be dealing with many different animals and situations and am in need of a degree in pre-veterinary or animal behavior courses. Since I would like to stay considerably close to my hometown, I am considering Cornell University, Bucknell University, and Akron University.

The topic I am writing about is “Where would you most like to live?” I would like to live in Portland, Maine one day. The winters are very cold but despite that, it is beautiful there and also you get mountains and ocean. That is one of the most perfect places (in my opinion) to live in order to be on the coast and surrounded by mountains at the same time. It is a slightly expensive place to live, but a great place to live.

If I could live anywhere in the world and money wasn’t an issue I imagine myself to move to New York City, nowhere specifically I just know that I would live in NYC in what seems the world’s smallest apartment with massive windows that let lots of sunlight through.

We have all failed at something once in our lifetime; For me, it’s hard when I fail, because I play soccer and when you can’t shoot on the goal or pass well people will produce laughter at you. I’m that one person that can’t shoot well on the goal because of my hips; Remarkably every time I shoot the ball it's an aching discomfort that won’t go away in my hips. I don’t know why it's in so much pain, but it hurts to point where I can’t run or walk; Sometimes I just have to push through and earn the knowledge to do it again. When you miss at shooting or passing, you can't create an excuse just laugh and reflect on what you did. I break down most of the time because of my foot is angled to the side, or I whiff the ball, and at times, it's too much or too less power you put behind the ball. For me, I put too much power, and I miss then people generate laughter at me; especially Ethan.

It is no doubt about it that everyone has somewhere that they have adapted to long enough to call it there home! A place they can relax and really be their selves, for some it may have been their grandparents house, aunties house or wherever they felt comfortable. Well I of course felt comfortable in my own home, a four bedroom house on the west side of North Miami. My home in Miami was perfect I had my own room, I was very comfortable there, and it was a place to get away from the world.

I found myself inundated by the music that was surrounding me. The music was unknown to my ears, but still I danced my way through the crowd. It was so loud that I could grab the music notes in the air and save them in my pockets. I couldn’t even hear myself think. The lights, the atmosphere, everything surrounding me made me feel like I could live forever.

I would build my home in a rural location because of the connection with nature and the aspect of independence of the location. The home would be small in comparison to the tract on which it laid. I do not plan to have a large front lawn because most of my land will be located behind my home, so that I will privacy from those who dwell near me. Also, I will live a far enough distance away from my neighbors that I am not effected by the items they plant or methods they use to manipulate their land. It

Many people influenced and events my reading and writing development throughout my childhood from my mother, my elementary librarian, and Sesame Street, to getting my first pair of glasses. We all have defining moments in our lives where we can look back and say, “That moment changed my life.” This is the story of the defining moment that changed the way I read and write, and I learned it from a whale!

Growing up as a little girl my life was ever changing. Although I don’t have many recollections of my childhood, I do
