Did you ever encounter a situation that has changed your view on life? Whether it be something that happened to you or someone very close to you. Sometimes i do not think that people fully understand what an impact they have on other people. About four years ago i thought the best thing that could ever happen, happened to me. Until later years, i found out that it would end up being the thing that would hurt me the most in life. I used to think trust was a cut and dry situation, but it is different in every case. Trust plays a big role in most people’s life and when you break that trust there is not much a person can do to gain it back. I am one of those people that either give all or no trust with my personal feelings. My parents …show more content…
Before they got all the way over to us i can remember my dad leaning down and saying “ you need to be nice to these kids.” I can remember thinking to myself “why the heck do i need to be nice to some kids i do not even know?” Little did i know then that they would be a big part of my life for the next three years. Knowing that i only meet girlfriends if it is serious, i knew that since i met her kids that it was extra serious. Dawn and my dad started dating my freshman year in high school. Dawn, Kait, and Benny moved in with my dad because traveling from Avella to Eighty-Four everyday was a haul and a half. Being as i did not want to be left out i moved in also, so i could be closer to everyone. I had never saw my dad as happy as he was with everyone there under one roof. Yes, i made my dad happy but i could not describe the vibe he gave off. My dad did anything and everything to make Dawn happy. He tore apart our house and built a brand new addition to our house for her business to be run out of. As the days went by Kait, Benny, and I got super close. We did everything together, from going to school, to eating dinner, and playing outside. Three peas in a pod you could even say. As i got close to Kait and Ben i also got close with Dawn, she was like a second mom to me in so many different ways. Towards the end of their relationship they started to have problems. She wanted another kid and he did not. So Dawn left for a month and then ended
Everyday humans are presented with new opportunities and situations. These events can change the way they think and make decisions. But it's the way it can change ones relationships that can really hurt one's ability to care. There is a total of 7.442 billion people alive today. Yet only a small portion of that are people one truly cares about. For many people, a specific setting, situation or emotion can alter the way people can think rationally.

Someone who I had thought was a friend had intentionally changed my life forever. This really made it hard for me trust anybody
Life altering occasions tend to happen in the blink of an eye. One moment I am happy and content with how the world is. The next thing I know, I am no longer capable of having trust and faith in others. My feelings of trust have changed sense the events of 9/11 terrorist attack on the world trade centers, Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, and the Boston Marathon bombings.

However, with all great aspects comes some not so great characteristics. Trust was something I should not have placed in him. It would take me years to find out how badly it would affect me.
Unfortunately these days, respect for one another is failing. It’s an angering observation, since my parents and my generations were raised to respect one another. Sadly, perhaps the increased violence in our society could be due largely to the “Entitled Brat Generation“ of this world. Equally important is trust, and to put it bluntly, where there’s respect, there’s trust. One of my most difficult challenges is the ability to trust others. I’ve been maliciously wronged on several occasions, which is the root of my careful observance of the actions of
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.
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.
There have been very few events throughout my lifetime that I feel have impacted or inspired me with such noteworthiness and that I know will change my outlook on the world and affect me forever. One of those events occurred when I traveled to Portugal, my parent’s homeland. From this excursion in 2007, I learned the importance of family, most importantly the distant kind. It provided me with a totally different perspective on the world and how large and extended one’s family can really be; even across cultures and continents. I felt so fortunate learning this lesson at a young age and growing to appreciate the ideals I was brought up with as a child. The family I have in Portugal has always been there; however, their faces have aged and
An accident can happen to anyone at any time. It is so unusual and it happens because of our unwillingness and careless. I have heard news about people getting car accident in radio and TV. But this time I have experienced a nightmare incident in my life. I feel that everything happens for a reason .This is why my life has changed into a different one. Our life is designed in such a way that we have to learn various information as we grow up and we will learn by doing certain mistakes. Accident can amend your life in numerous manner: Realization of several mistakes, beginning of new sort of life, and lowers the level of quality of life.
Trust is a value that was very hard for me to learn. I was always afraid that someone was going to hurt me one way or another. My mother was always telling me that I should learn to trust others so that they could help me from time to time, but I never could do it. Eventually I finally learned to trust others a few years ago. I have realized that other people can do many things for you if you just trust in them. This helps me in the relationships I have with my friends. Trust doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. I have learned that trusting certain people is worth the risk, and helps the relationships I have with them.
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.
The end of school came eventually, and I abandoned dreams of the sixth grade. Luckily, I was transferring to another elementary school, but this offered me little consolation. Only dummies have to repeat a grade.
