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. The day has come, finally my very first vacation. I got up with excitement and I remember looking out my window and seeing how the sunrise was spreading across the sky. I remember my mom calling my siblings …show more content…
As time went on I watched the sun fall behind the horizon, landscaping the sky different shades. My dad was exhausted of driving so we stopped at a hotel. Keep in mind we've been driving for 9 hours and we have yet to arrive to the destination. The next morning we woke up at 5am to get back on the road. I was nervous and excited to meet family I've never met before. 11 hours later i finally hear my parents say we have arrived. I looked around and I could see kids running towards the car, the smile on their faces were priceless they were so happy to see us. It was like we were famous or something. For a second I was getting a little overwhelmed. They looked different they weren't wearing what “regular” kids wear. They were wearing the complete opposite. Not to mention some of them didn't even have shoes. I didn't understand why. We got off the car and said hi to everyone then my parents gave out everything they had gathered and seeing the kid's faces light up when they would receive something just shocked me I didn't think they would react the way they did. They were so thankful and so happy with what they got. I didn't understand why they were happy to receive used clothes or used things in general. As I kept looking around, the houses looked different from how mine looked. As we went through a gate my father said “This is your grandpa's and grandma's house it's where we are going to be staying.” I couldn't believe how different the
A 3 day life transforming event is coming to your area. You can take this window to set your life on a flight. This is the opportunity to birth your dreams, live true to your ideals and connect with your inner strength.
I cannot think of a single event that has changed my life. I believe that who someone is determined on their genes and how they were raised over a long period of time, such as who their parents are, where they live and how others sway their beliefs. Because of the thing that happen to use in the past it will determine the decisions we make later on. The outcome of those decisions will further change who we are. Also sudden tragic events will change a person's life by making their outlook on life different. Although someone's opinions on the world doesn't have to be changed by bad thing happening to them. For instance, if someone is going through a hard time and suddenly something changes to make things easier people have more faith than they
There have been many painful and life changing experiences in my days, but the most unforgettable and also life changing experience was the time I was ran over by a golf cart. This story goes to show that even the most painful and troubling situations can have positive outcomes. God has a plan for everything that happens in our lives; all we need to do is go in blind and there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Trust in him, and he will take care of us.
From time to time I relive this part of my life with an ashamed perspective. It all begins to come back to me on the morning of December 16th, I awoke after a sleepless night of exercising, flushing my system with water and with mixed emotions about even prayed. I went through this because four nights previous I had raved it up at a party smoking a copious amount of weed. This I consider to be my life changing experience.
In this essay you had the option to choose a life event that has changed you. But I chose to give a list of events that has made me who I am instead of just one event that changed a little part about me. This essay will show what has happened in my life for me to be the way I am to this day. This is me.
Everyone that was in my grandma house was talking to me and telling me I looked a lot like my mother. They were planing to take me out every day until it was time for me to leave back to Florida. My grandma had made a lot of food for everyone, she made; rice, beans, with chicken. After the party was over my grandma was taking me out to this place I always wanted to go, its a poor place where kids are at. Once we got there I seen things I well forget, I seen kids playing with mud instead of playing with toys, young boys working with there family members, and a lot of kids didn't have clean clothes there were either dirty or all of them were small for them. I felt so sad seeing kids like that, knowing I had everything back home shoes nice clothes I never even wear made me seed things different.I stopped and talked to one of the kids and asked them if they go to school and they told me “No I work with my father there no time to go to school.” Leaving that poor place made me think so much I told my grandma “before I leave back home I’m going to leave all my clothes and shoes for them and I want you to give it to them.”
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.
Growing up with a single mother was a struggle. My mother had to work long nights, weekends, and holidays to provide a home, food, and clothing. In addition, my mother provided a safe atmosphere for me. My mother made it her mission to prepare me for the world, and she did an incredible job. I could not have asked for a better mother. Everything changed when one day while she was in the shower, my mother first felt a lump in her left breast. Cancer was something new to my family, so my mother was scared and unsure of what to do next. When she decided to get a breast exam, I tagged along. I was unaware of how dire the situation was. I went with my mother to a number of hospitals, including Howard University Hospital, to receive additional observations and later treatments. My mom was finally done with chemotherapy and the doctor told us she had little to no cancer cells left. My family was happy again, but this was short lived because of a couple of months later, my mother became very ill. She was then placed in a hospice, a place for the terminally ill. At this point my family knew the outcome; yet, I was not ready for her to leave. Losing my mother was the saddest period of my life because I had to struggle with loneliness, I was traumatized by the experience, and I had to adjust to a new living environment.
As a teenager, I was in a motorcycle accident that significantly affected my life. My life was drastically changed by it both temporarily and permanently. The experience taught me many things but is also one of the most prominent memories that I have as a young adult.
I have been through a lot of events that have impacted my life dramatically. Something that happened last August changed my outlook on a lot of things. August 10, 2016 was a life-changing day. This day started an event that made me appreciate life more, and taught me that even the smallest thing could be a big difference in any outcome.
My father has led volunteer groups for hospital visitations for many years, and I have volunteered with him for as long as I can remember. Many of these early memories are a blur, but there is one that I have never forgotten. We were visiting a local hospital, singing to patients and giving coloring books and crayons as usual. This visit was different, however, because we were given permission to go to the maternity ward. I knocked on the first door I saw and entered the room to see 4 or 5 cribs with a baby in each. I immediately noticed that their hands and feet were tied to their cribs. I quickly turned to my father to ask why they were being treated so horribly. He told me that they had been abandoned by their mothers and that, sadly, the nurses didn’t have time to take care of crawling babies. As tears began to fill my eyes, I went to the nearest crib and untied the hands and arms of a baby girl. I don’t remember her crying; all I remember is her clinging to me with all of
Have you ever had a that one experience that open your eyes, an experience unlike any of your other experiences, an experience that you will never forget till you die ? Well it happened to me, and it changed my life forever. I’m just a normal boy from Washington, pretty average I would say, there’s nothing important about me, nothing special. I don’t really have friends so if I do die early I won’t be missed that much. I’m a senior and I’m supposed to sign up for colleges like everybody else, but not me, because I really don’t know what to do with my life.
As a typical teenager, I have gone through countless amounts of experiences and challenges in my life. The decisions that I have made in the past has given me two separate outcomes, and these outcomes influenced me positively and negatively depending on the environment given. As I grow older I commence to cerebrate that my life is getting harder and more challenging due to the pressure emanating from parents and school. The challenges give me motivations to work even harder until I achieve my goals, and dreams in life. Every stage of life starting from toddler to teenager to adult and then to old carries the permutation of both happiness and sadness. While some people feel delighted of talking about teenage years, some cherish their adulthood, even old age. During my current time of magnification and individuality, I have experienced a rapid amount of changes in physical and noetic attributes, which has influenced my life, dreams, relationships, and overall ecstasy.
It started out as a rather mundane day. I slept in late and started my day out with a bowl of cold cereal as I continued learning through various free online websites to keep my brain active. Nothing stood out of the ordinary for me for the majority of that day. It was neither too sunny nor too cloudy; in fact, the sky was clear blue that day. For a million years, I never would have thought to hear those three words come out of my mother’s mouth that did that night: “Amanda has cancer.” Once the words and the person whom the words were referring to registered in my mind, my brain went into shock and I subconsciously remembered telling myself that my life was going to undergo a drastic change. My whole attitude on life, my viewpoint on what really mattered in life, and my religious belief would ultimately be changed by Amanda's response to this life-changing news.
Everyone has life experiences that had shaped who they are in the present day. Some people encounter situations where the sophistication inspires them to achieve better quality in life or the undergoing is too depressing and then individuals commence to expect nothing marvelous to transpire from their experiences. With this in mind, the empiricism of the individuals could cause a positive or a negative on their lives and passion for excellence. All experiences should be uplifting to a person’s dedication to be successful in life. For me, the life experiences that always kept me going and shaped the person that I am today were my mother’s work ethic, my medical issues, and my high school years.
