Life Changing Experience In My Life

My life changing experience all began on June 3, 2014 when I was a Freshman in high school and things weren’t going the best. Struggles through high school are very common but for me I dealt with things I couldn’t even handle. I struggled relentlessly all through high school and with my home life as well , but I was never prepared for what happened that summer when I was 14.

Waves are crashing, and surfers are out. Huge water giants in the distance, and they are making a strong force of ripples in the direction of the shore. Me and my family have arrived. "It's Myrtle Beach!" I said. We browse the streets for our reserved hotel. We have arrived. The Sea Breeze Hotel, a cute little hotel, too. Everyone sits in the KIA, as my father heads in to check in with the front desk. He leaves the vehicle, and enters. A large amount of time passed, especially for check-ins. Ten minutes? My dad then exits the building, as I get ready to leap out the car, stretch my back, and get luggage. But then we all notice his concerned, yet serious, look. He enters the black SUV. My mother tells us all that they misheard him on the phone, and reserved a room with two beds, instead of four or five. We browsed the city streets, past dark, looking for vacant hotels. Spotted! We find a rather expensive hotel, but at least we have a roof over our head for tonight. We check-in, and get a perfect room. We pack-up, and take our space. We all slept well, with the ocean waves crashing on shore, and the gentle sea breeze through the balcony.

I could feel the nice breeze hitting my face as I looked at all of the islands around us. When I felt better, I went back below and saw that the scuba divers had just jumped in and were trying to find some sea creatures, soon, they brought up a sea urchin and brought it up to the window so that everyone could see and inspect it. They did the same with a few more interesting animals like a starfish. I got seasick again so I had to go back up on top of the boat until the end of the ride. I loved the boat ride, but it felt amazing, but also weird to be back on the land. “Ugh”, I groaned. My legs were so sore and I too warm and hungry. My dad wanted to eat, too. We went to eat at the restaurant that was painted light blue with a painted sign and

After saying our goodbyes, Third Brother and I went straight for the ship because it's scheduled to leave in thirty minutes. Before we could board the ship, we had to go through security, which wasn’t that bad. We found our seats in the bottom deck and got ready for our long journey at sea. After what seemed like weeks at sea I found time to write back to Aunt Baba when something hit me, ‘’maybe I could go visit her next summer?” As that thought traveled through my mind, I heard somebody yell “we’re almost there, I see land!” I was so excited after long weeks at sea that I stopped everything I was doing and went straight to the top of the ship. Third Brother was right behind me. As we got closer and closer to England, I could feel my

One of the most life-defining experiences that I’ve ever been through happened during the summer before my freshman year of high school. Back then, I was living in Marshall with my dad and my two younger sisters. Marshall isn’t that big of a town, merely hosting 400 residents. Everyone had a connection with one another, including my classmates and peers. We were all friends because each and every one of us knew better than to exclude another person, especially because there wasn’t enough of us kids around to form cliques. We’d entertain ourselves by endless games of basketball, storytelling, and late night outdoors games. In the small village of Marshall, us kids always found a way to have fun together.

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.

As we approached the Sundiver I was kind of nervous.As I set my stuff under my seat my dad said “lets go up to the top of the boat.” As I got up I could see the vast ocean with crystal clear water.

A life-changing event is not something to be taken lightly. Throughout our lives, we encounter many obstacles and changes, some of which bring us joy and excitement, others of which may be hard for us to handle. When I look back on my relatively short life, it may, at first, be hard for me to think of an event that has truly molded and shaped the person that I am today. I have encountered several changes, but at the time, they felt like mere speed bumps along my path. Looking back now, it is easy for me to see that these changes were not by chance, but were placed in my path to form the person that I am today.

There was once a little boy who lived by the sea. The boy lived there with his mother and father in a wooden cabin by the ocean. They lived in a small community of about five hundred people. The ocean was all the boy had ever known. The boy’s mother had always raised him to be careful of the sea for it is a dangerous place. However, the boy could not help but love everything about it. He came by this honestly. The boy’s father was the captain of a ship, it was known to be the fastest of all the ships in the Atlantic Ocean. The father was well recognized around the community for being an explorer. He had been to many parts of the world people could only dream of going. He told tales of meeting new ethnicities and attempting to learn knew languages. His favorite stories to tell were about the different types of food each group of people ate. The boy would sit in awe of his father, mouth wide open staring at him with disbelief. Starting from the time he was a toddler the boy knew one day he wanted to be a sailor just like his father was.

The night before we began our journey to Orlando, I didn’t get much sleep. My eyes were wide open like an owl most of the night, tossing and turning under my cloudy soft comforter thinking about what awaited me the next 24 hours. I have always been interested about what it would be like to go on a roller coaster, but I hated the feeling of weightlessness like a balloon. I even hated going on elevators, just the thought of all that force sent a shivering sensation throughout my body that made me agonizingly uncomfortable. Nevertheless, there was a roaring lion fearlessness within me that wanted to indulge on this endeavor. In the morning we pack the family SUV as if we were sardines in a can and headed out to Islands of Adventure.

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.

Everyone has that one experience that makes them look at life with a new set of eyes. My life changing experience happened a little earlier than most. It was the summer before first grade. We had gotten an exceptional amount of rain in the past months even though it was summer. I did not notice, though, because summer was every six year old's favorite holiday, next to Christmas and their birthday. My summer was supposed to be like any other but it quickly took a turn. For the best or for the worst? That is debatable.

In my lifetime there have been many breathtaking and wonderful experience’s I have had the pleasure in being a part of, only one experience comes to mind when I think about a personal experience that’s dear to me. The experience that is most dear to me would one that changed my view on life and the path I was pathed for myself along the way.

Have you ever had an experience that changed your life? For better or worse? Well I have and little did I know at the time that it was going to change my life forever.

There are certain moments in a person’s life that will define who they become; succeeding in a difficult class, finding the person they want to spend the rest of their life with, holding their child for the first time. These dream like moments often change people for the better, but what happens when these life changing events go from the perfect dream to the most horrific nightmare? When people are cheated, hurt, and made to feel as though they are worthless, does it change them for the worse?
