Events That Shaped Me That I Am Today

When I stop to think about what shaped me to make me what I am today I can only think of

I believe that the situations I’ve been put through hold full responsibility for shaping me into the young, responsible, independent woman I have become. Going through my father’s deportation and having to depend on myself since I was only eight years old has had the biggest impact in my life.

Growing up I was always told that I needed to attend college and there would be no exceptions as to why I would not; I had never really understood why it was so important to my parents but as years past I began to realize why college was a must in my family.

Many life experiences contribute to who I am today. One specific experience when I was six years old had proven to be the most influential.

One of the many things that have shaped me where when my grandparents came over to my house from India last summer. Also, my cousins were staying over at my house while my Aunt and Uncle were in India. During this time, my grandpa got low blood sugar and fell while he was on a walk with my sister. One major thing that I felt was guilt. This is because that day, I was riding my bike outside, my mom and older cousin were talking outside, my grandma was lying on her bed,

Of Course there are more things that make me who I am. But these three experiences taught me the more important things in life. My Uncles death taught me I’m only as strong as I make myself. My courage came from being by mom while she was sick. Switching schools taught me that I am much more than what people and I expect me

One identifier that has shaped me into the person I am is being a military brat. My father is a military officer for the USMC and his job has greatly affected my life. Since I was born, my family has moved seven times and I have lived in six different states and in Okinawa, Japan. Throughout my life, I have gone through many changes and been challenged in many ways. Theses events have made me stronger as a person. This has not only change my life; it has changed who I am.

1. Describe how a particular event has impacted your world view. All of the things in my life have molded me into the person I am today. However, one of the most dramatic events that has affected me was the divorce of my parents when I was young. This event introduced me to the bite of pain and loss at an early age.

The years were 1984 through 1986. My age during those years were 8-10. Ronald Regan was president during those years. Other key things that happened during that time that influenced my life were, in 1984 we traveled to New Orleans to the attend The World’s Fair. I was with my family and enjoying my childhood and having a great experience that I didn’t think was that significant.

Please describe the factors and challenges that have most shaped your personal life and aspirations. How have these factors helped you to grow? Be it puberty, evolutionary ancestral traits, or apricot trees that bear fruit too early, precociousness is not necessarily a good or bad thing. Growing up, this was a word frequently associated with me for two reasons; my natural intelligence and maturity despite my young age, and the skills that I had to adapt after my parents had divorced. The challenges that I’ve faced as a result of the divorce were not necessarily a bad thing either.

While big events can make major changes, little events define how we become as adults. My earliest memories is at a five year-old. It is one spot where I have been to, in my thoughts, more than any other has. In this memory, it was evening, as I stood on a dirt path. It was an unpaved driveway for the church parsonage.

Many things have shaped me into the person I am today. Most of those things have to do with people dying or having near-death experiences or anything along the tragic things that can happen in one's life. Those things entail my Uncle Daniel's death, my dad's heart surgery, my cousin Laura losing her baby, and my great grandmother, Mimi, losing her life. Those things have made me realize the preciousness of life, deepened my faith, and made me a more compassionate person today.

The first memory I have is of my mom pulling me on a Mickey mouse blanket. In many ways my family, school and community have shaped the me and has made me a better person.

Historical events have a major impact on people’s lives and how they view the world. These events can affect those who live through them, and even those who are born after. Three events that have shaped my life are the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, the Columbine shooting, and the Deepwater Horizon Explosion in the Gulf of Mexico.

Life seems to take many twists and turns that somehow mesh into each other to form a chaotic knot of happenings. All of these occurrences are supposed to shape you into a wiser more experienced person. Many people can even pin point the exact moment in their life which was forever changed by a single event. When that event happens it becomes an unforgettable memory for you and teaches you a lesson that becomes one of the basic guidelines in your life. The event that forever changed me and was most significant to me was when I decided what I planned on doing for the rest of my life; choosing my major. I knew exactly what I would plan on doing my
