Importance Of Life Experiences In My Life

Have you ever been in a various life experiences affected you before? Yes, it was horrible because we was inside. Various life experiences have affected me socially emotionally physically.it affected me emotionally because it was bad.

My first international trip was to Germany, when I was 15, in order to spend six weeks with my mom’s family and see some of the famous sites in Germany. I remember when I first landed in Germany and departed the plane, I couldn’t believe where I was and that I was actually in a foreign country (even though I felt it from the ten hour plane ride). I remember looking around at the people who looked so foreign compared to the typical person of Laredo, Texas, and wondering how I would be able to identify my family. But then when I exited the baggage check area, I saw them and I knew it I was not dreaming and that everything in front of me was real. When we got in the car and started leaving Frankfurt to arrive in Riebelsdorf, the village my family lived in, I was looking outside fascinated by the fact that I was actually in a foreign country, even though I was extremely jet-lagged. We passed by a pasture and I saw a cow and I excitedly tapped my cousin’s shoulder asking how to say cow in German, which is Kuh, and learned by first word in Germany. Throughout my visit, I was able to go all over Germany from the Alps and a day in Salzburg, Austria, to Kassel and Frankfurt and was able to experience a variety of German life, from eating delicious bread treats and sausages in the morning with my family to going through a fascinating German

Over the span of my lifetime, I have had many life changing experiences. From good to bad every aspect has shaped me and made me the person I am today. The biggest challenge and experience I have had is tearing my MCL multiple times. I never realized how much of a challenge it would be going through surgery, rehab, and the overall complications of a recurring injury. Tearing my MCL made me learn how to overcome obstacles and helped me work harder than I ever had to bounce back from the injury.

As an young boy you never really think about how your life can completely change forever. For me my childhood was filled with legos and beach days and eating all the junk food I could imagine. My young, sweet life was great. That’s it. Just great. I never really thought it would change into something that I would forever be stuck with. Something that would screw up my daily routine, my habits and hobbies, and most of all, my junk food. Type one Diabetes would attach its disgusting self to me and in my boyhood mind, ruin my life forever. I was just an eleven year old sixth grader. Too young to realize that my condition could change my life in a good way.

It was night, after dinner time, and I was going to bed. I was practically already sleep walking; I looked like a zombie from an nineties movie.When I got to my room, I had a bad feeling and I decided to check on my brother who was already asleep in his bed. That's when I found him. That day, my brother almost died and it was the most meaningful experience of my life because I learned how to control my emotions in a moment of crisis and I saw a different side of my mother.

The world around us changes every day. It is the choice to whether we accept the change that will determine who we become. Once a week I sit on a bench in a park just off of 19th street. It is nothing special. A playground with a few swings with rusted chains, A slide with a bump in the middle, and a wooden park bench that is held together by the strength of two bolts. This park though at the surface appears to just be a park happens to be one of the most significant places in my life.

I’m a teenager in high school that has a sister in college and a 2 year old brother, can you relate? Some may get embarrassed about having siblings of such great age differences but I have found the importance in it. One of the best learning experiences in my life is getting to be involved in helping take care of a child every day at a young age. I understand that it’s hard work to take care of a baby and that I need to wait for kids until I’m financially stable. It’s a blessing to have learned early on in my life because some teenagers don’t have younger siblings or parents to teach them right from wrong, good from bad, and smart from stupid. Everyone has an American Dream, mine is to be happy no matter what I achieve, don’t achieve in my life, or anything that happens to me. This relates to my life because I’m cheerful about having a young sibling at a very unexpected time of my life as a teenager.

Almost three years ago my mom was diagnosed with Bacterial Meningitis. Bacterial Meningitis is very life threatening if not treated immediately. It was a very scary experience for everyone. With this experience I have learned a very important lesson, don’t ever take your parents for granted because you could easily lose them and maybe sooner then you thought.

In the tapestry of life, I’ve have accustomed myself with people from diverse colors of race, textures of belief, and patterns of culture. Different threads of individuals with their unique life experiences have surrounded me in my every stage. Each relationship has woven me into an expressive piece of fabric that refuses one-dimensional uniformity.

On a Saturday morning, I arrive at the pool in my Honda, Bessie, the parking lot has a scarce amount of cars, filled with overjoyed kids, but that will all change very soon. While I walk into the locked up cell, the pool has steam rising from its equator, inviting me to jump right in. Throughout my stroll towards the pool, I spot the robocop roaming in the water picking up all of the dirt and leaves in its path. As I lift the robocop out of the water, I see all of the victims lying inside of the vacuum bag waiting for their death sentence into the trash can. After I test the pool’s chemicals, I add a jug of chlorine to kill all of the bacteria and neutralize the water. Once I unlock the rest of the doors, Jackie rolls up in her deep water blue vehicle, and she looks very sluggish and walks with a: “I don’t want to work” manner. It’s 10:00 AM.

I am a Bahamian citizen attempting to not only change my country but the world.

Relationships can change because the need has changed for that individual. I believe that people can change and are not rigid. However, people must want to change on their own terms, not by someone forcing them to change. Change is necessary when if effects multiple areas within one’s life or surroundings.

I’ve had three life experiences I feel have influenced my academic goals for the better. The first

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”- Dr. Seuss. Though the phrase “who am I?” is composed of three simple, elementary words, the weight it holds is great. In life, growing up and finding yourself go hand in hand. When I think of who I am today at 17, many flashbacks of moments come to mind; people, places and experiences. All of which, have impacted not only my character but my personality as well.

I remember being a child and going to the grocery store with my mother. At some point, my mother would turn her back and I’d get distracted by something. 5 minutes later I’d turn around and she’d be gone. I remember the panic I felt while I would run around calling out to her and how all of a sudden I felt very alone in a very large place. My heart would race, I’d be on the verge of tears, and it felt as though she would never come back for me and I’d be alone forever. That’s exactly how I felt when my parents dropped me off at Flagler and for my entire first semester.
