There are hundreds of experiences that have had some sort of impact on my life. Some are very small and some are much more life altering. Although, these life changing events do not happen often, they happen to everyone. I have had a few major, life changing occurrences in my lifetime, some are good and some are not so good. One of them that stands out the most to me and has impacted me the greatest is something everyone experiences at some point in their lives. For me, it was on October 20th, 2015, when I was 13 years old, the day my first dog Lucky died. Lucky was a little Jack Russell Terrier that my mom and dad had bought when he was only a few months old. They had adopted him in Belgium, about a year before I was born. Lucky had been …show more content…
I texted my mom during lunch asking how it went. She said that she would tell me later. That was the first warning sign, but I just brushed it off. When my mom picked me, I immediately asked was how Lucky was. My mom was acting much different than usual, she was very quiet. She told me that the vet said Lucky had kidney disease and all they could do is give him pain medicine and try to keep him alive until that weekend when my dad got home on Friday. My first reaction was denial. All I could think was, surely a dog that I had loved so much all my life could not die. I refused to believe the truth, I spent the entire evening looking up kidney disease, trying to find a solution that did not exist. I refused to eat or leave Lucky’s side. I knew his health had been declining, but I kept telling myself Lucky will get better. The issue was, I was only denying the inevitable. The next day was the hardest of my life. At school, I could not focus, all I could do was think about Lucky. That night, I had to cheer at a game about an hour away. At first I was not sure if I wanted to go, but my friends convinced me it would be good to get my mind of Lucky for a little bit. Around the middle of the first quarter I saw my little brother show up with one of his friends. I immediately knew something was very wrong, why would my brother come to an away game, especially so far away without my mom, I knew my mom did not have anything going on that night. Somehow I
An experience that really changed my life was when my grandfather was on the verge of death in the hospital. I remember seeing my family crying and my heart ached. I visited him every day and came home to study for my exams. I would sleep late every night to study and cry. In that moment, I realized how precious life was and how much of an impact we as individuals have other people. Ever since, I have tried to enjoy every single moment of life, whether a simple walk to school or spending time with my family.
I stepped off the bus and to my surprise, my mom was not there. I looked around and spotted my brother Paul waiting for me. He told me my mother was in the hospital with my oldest brother, Jason, who had just been in a car accident which left him with a broken neck, shoulder and forearm. The experience of his recovery inspired me to look at life differently. I believe everything happens for a reason, I spend more time with my family and I look up to my brother.
I've experienced a lot of events which had great impact on me since I was young. Thinking of life changing events, the one I would like to share is when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It was a very devastating day for me. A day that changed my life. I never thought Id get through but today I can say that Diabetes has changed me for the better.
Everyone has an event in their life that helped changed them in some way or stood out to them in some type of way in their life. Rather if it is, something like a birth of a child, a death of a family member or even receiving a job. A significant event in my life and helped me grow as a person was when I decided to pack up and move to Houston, Texas. My move to Texas may have been short but in that short period it helped me to grow to be more independent and to provide for myself and much more. When I made the moved to Texas, I moved with family members that I knew but I was not close with it.
Have you ever had something hurt so bad that you couldn’t explain it in words? My finger felt like it was being ripped from my hand! I couldn’t even tell my grandfather what had happened. I simply put out my hand for him to see. He said, “Oh my, I think you have dislocated your finger.” It was at that point that I regained my voice and yelled, “Dislocated? It’s broken!” My 70-pound pit bull mastiff even knew it was serious! He was whining and looking at me with the eyes of an innocent poodle puppy! Generally, he looks like he would eat you for lunch, however that day he was visibly upset that his devoted master was really hurt.
If there’s one event that has made a huge impact in my life it would have to be a roll over car accident that my parents, aunt, and I were when I was in sixth grade. This car accident has impacted me negatively by leaving me with PTSD and positively by figuring out what career I am pursuing.
My life events are something that impacted my life a lot. The most impactful is the birth of my little brother. Before he was born I had 3 sisters and that was it. Now I have 3 sisters and a red headed little brother. His birthday is February 15, 2015 and he is know 19 months old and this month was his first time on an airplane.
The Event that has impacted me the most happened in late 2014,i was 15 at the time for me it was one of the most memorable events that has happened to me. I was in a Longboarding accident that caused me to go into a two week coma. It happened when i was still living in Oklahoma. After this happened, i’ve learned not to be so careless and i should be more aware of what my surroundings are. I remember that my friends and i were walking around a neighborhood looking for hills to ride down on,we usually did this for about an hour or so. It really was the perfect weather to go Longboarding it was a cool November winter day about 29 degrees. We were still walking until we found this hill in the neighborhood at the time i remember not being so big.
That same night was the longest, hardest, and most overwhelming night ever.But at the same time, I realized that Tucker was in a better place, and we will all see him soon. A couple years later, we got a german shorthair mixed with a pointer. We all realized after we got Willie, there will never be another
When I was five years old my parents got me a dog for an early Christmas present. They got her from an animal rescue (?), and her name is Annie. Annie is a wired haired terrier with a smooth, yet rough, brownish-orange colored coat with a black spot on her back, white legs and a white belly. She also has two different colored eyes, one blue eye, and one brown eye; we call her crazy eyes sometimes, because of this.
The journal entry for this week will focus on life changes. Change is a fact of life that is happening around us all the time in every aspect of our lives (Lamberton & Minor, 2014). Personally, there have been many changes in my life over the last few years. Some changes have been positive and some have been negative. These changes have impacted my life by increasing my stress level at home and work.
When we were there I saw a whole new side to him. He had just gotten back from the hospital and he was in diva mode. I don’t blame him for it either. He had every right to be grupy. We didn’t talk much except for when it was dinner time and he didn’t want to eat so we sat on the couch and I held him in my arms while he was watching his favorite show Paw Patrol. After that things never looked up for him. He was either in the hospital feeling awful or at home feeling worse. Then one night something happened and his heart rate stopped. The doctors brought him back but nothing good came after
I told dad that we should take him to the vet,and so we did. A few minutes later the friendly doctor saw us and said Louie was fine
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.
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.
