like it was yesterday, the day that changed my life forever. On March 9th of 2011, my mom was diagnosed with skin cancer in her lung. The doctor gave her about six months to live and this is how it went. It was a normal day, after school we got a text to come straight home right, no big deal right? I walked up the steps, dreading every step I took because she’s going to make me do dishes or something. I’m going to have to do a set of chores before I can leave again, normal day like I said. Little did
A Day That Changed My Life One day that changed my life was the day I went into foster care.I will never forget that day. I remember going to school that day.I was sitting in class and the S.R.O came and got me from class. I felt like something bad was going to happen. I was right, they took me into foster care. They took me from school and then when we were leaving the school they asked me if I knew where my mom and brother were,I didn’t know. The caseworkers called my mom and told her
The Day my Life Change Forever Buzz, Buzz, Buzz my phone went across the bathroom counter! I heard it vibrate and ring constantly as I took my shower before church. By the time I got out the shower, I had three missed calls from my dad and four from my mother. At the time I thought my mother was just giving me a heads up my dad needed me or was wondering where I was at. I had sent the weekend with my boyfriend and hadn’t spoken to my father. But as I looked at my phone and realized neither one of
I never knew that the very fateful day, September 4, 2065, would be my last average day, with an average life, normal friends (not really), and a normal family. This day was one that no one would ever forget. The day that the world drastically changed and everyone knew that nothing would ever be the same. As I walked to school, I ran into one of my friends, as usual. Meera Falcov, a girl with unusual talents and my closest friend. We were what you would call the “outcasts” at Herbert high school
event that I remember so precise. The day that changed my life forever and my perspective on life mentally and emotionally as a being. I can still recall the whole event now and then so vividly that it almost feels like this memory lives inside of me. It felt just like yesterday. It haunts me. I will always live by it now and live it in fear. “Sandra! Where are you?.” Lena shouted through the phone as I picked up. “I’m home, what happen?” I answered. “It’s my friend’s birthday party and you have
was a dark and cold fall evening; the gym was packed and everyone was looking at me. It was my first taekwondo tournament. The pressure was on. I then realized that I’ve practiced for this day for months and I know that I could do it right, so I started to relax. This was the first time I had an immense amount of pressure on me and I realized that this made me who I am today this one night changed my life forever. These months that I trained for was tiresome it required a lot of confidence and self
elementary school after an arduous day of work (or at least by the standards of my 9 year old self), instead of unwinding by watching television or relaxing on the couch, I logged onto the PC and played a virtual brain surgery game. Or, alternatively, I scrolled through BrainPOP and watched health and science videos. I preferred Tim and Moby over Spongebob and Patrick. As a child, I was quite a curious. When I caught a cold, I inquired “How do you get sick?” My mother bought me a book explaining
ordinary day in the summer of 1996 I ventured down a path that would radically and irrevocably alter the course of my destiny. I took this path blindly with my head held high, joy in my heart and tears in my eyes. In an ever evolving and dynamic world, change is inevitable and unstoppable. Life is constantly propelling us to make decisions which in turn can mold our hearts, thoughts and our actions. Most changes are simple and have little influence over the ultimate direction of a person’s life. Then
It all started on a day that is very much blurry to me now. It was in junior high not the most fun years of school for anybody I assume. Who knew it would be the day I got arrested I was only in the ninth grade. I didn’t expect that could ever possibly happen to me especially in ninth grade. And who knew it would later have an impact and influence some of my life choices. All I can remember from that day is that I came to school little did I know I wasn’t supposed to be there but that isn’t what
My philosophy on writing is fairly simple, always write about what you love. Any writing that isn’t driven by some sense of passion is incomplete. As difficult as it was for me to chose four essays from this semester to put in my portfolio, I feel as though I have chosen the right four papers that reflect my values and who I am as a person. The first essay I chose was my narrative essay. This essay means a lot to me in particular because it is about me and friend’s adventures around Italy. Since
