Life : It Has Changed My Life

I have been recently diagnosed with MS so I cannot fully describe how it has impacted my life but what I can tell you is how it will effect me and my future. Ever since I was involved in a car accident, the only thing I ever pictured myself doing was being an Police Officer, that is what I am going to study in college, I have taken coarses on Criminology, and I have talked with Police Officers who are currently employed in my local police department, all of these things I have done was to prepare me for my dream job. Unfortunately when I was diagnosed my doctor informed me that there was the possibility I would not be fit to be a Police Officer due to MS, when she told me that my heart broke a little bit because all I could think about was

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.

Throughout this semester I have learned a lot of things in your political science that has impacted my life and to the things around me. Being a kid that grow up on a farm I have seen the ups and down that my family has to survive through. Then, have a family in the army fighting in Afghanistan made things hard and now have a cousin in the Air force make me thankful for the people that put their lives on the line and knowing that it could have been me. I was recruited to wrestle for West Point and the Air Force Academy but, I decide to come here and go into Agriculture Business Management. Being in an agriculture major has let me see the point of view what trade can do if tariffs are put on us.

On November 4, 2014, I received news of my youngest sister being taken away to the emergency room where they would have to keep her overnight. A hundred questions ran through my mind like a soundtrack on loop. Why did she have to stay? How was she? On that date, my sister was diagnosed with type one diabetes, which affects many families a year. When talking about illness media often portray the most negative effects which can scare many people who are ill informed. Illness is not something you often have a plan for and you hope it never occurs. However, much like in my case it brought out a new found strength to become the support my family needed at the time.

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.

"Could life get any worse?" As I said to myself. It was just the news I needed before I started summer vacation. Dr. Judy Kanz broke the news that I am borderline diabetic due to my weight being extremely high. From time to time I recall eavesdropping on my Nina 's conversations about her diabetes. It was known that the disease runs in my family but for myself to be right there, it was a good enough scare to take my health seriously. This required dieting, exercising and doing things that I have never done before. On top of all that, I was battling a severe depression.

As a very small child I don’t remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child’s eyes that has made me the person that I am today and I will always have those memory’s with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student.

I was eleven years old when I first became a certified scuba diver, and over the last thirteen years none of the dives I’d been on could prepare me for this one night. My vacation started out just like all the other family dive trips I had been on, white sandy beaches, crystal clear what, warm ocean breeze, and brilliantly bright colored fish but it all changed when my father came back from a night dive with a story to tell. My siblings, husband and I all gathered around the dinner table eager to hear about my father’s adventures. He starts off slowly making sure he has everyone’s undivided attention before he discloses any details of importance. Once we were all on the edge of our seats practically begging for him to speak he takes a long slow drink, looks each of us in the eye and says “I’ve had the most incredible life changing experience on this night dive.”

It happened a year ago this past October, and I can still remember every little detail of it. My life literally got turned upside-down; I was in a car accident. As traumatic as the accident was it changed my outlook on life in a positive way, however, I wish it did not have to come down to that in order for me to figure things out. It made me realize how things could change in an instant and that all those things you never thought could happen to you actually can. But I also realized how much I love life. Life and all the good and bad things in it are a gift that we should not take for granted.

I was raised up in a family, which has Islamic values and principals. My Father was strict for two reasons. He used to work in the Police department and I was the only boy child. I grow up with four sisters, which made me feel lonely. However, this encouraged me to be a very social person. About my Mother, she is the source of warmth and kindness in my life in a way that created a good balance in my life. She also played a great role to shape my personality. For example, she always motivated me to invest my free time to sell some traditional food, which made me fall in love with marketing since my I was a child. It also made me an easy-going person and competitive.

Every person who comes into your life, comes into your life for a reason. But some people come into your life and have no impact on it; and then there’s other people who come into your life and change it forever. That one person can change your life by doing something small like teaching you how to cook or they can do something even grander such as teaching you the real meaning of friendship. That one person who had a major impact on my life was my Aunt Sylvania.

I think I have changed a lot in the past year. I am the same as I was a year ago because I psychically have the same name and same social security number. I still am in love with my husband Andrew hall and we still live in the same house and we still have our beautiful step daughter Macie every other week. I am different then I was a year ago because we have been married this whole year and weren’t married last year. I have also put on more weight this year and changed my hair color. I am the same as I was five years ago because, I still like doing the same things, like shopping and tanning. I am different then I was five years ago because, five years ago I was in High School in the 11th grade and lived in North Carolina and I drove everyone and didn’t have a license because I was underage. I am the same as I was ten years ago because I still had the same family, my mom and two brothers and I loved cheerleading and I still love cheerleading just too old for it now but I still love watching cheerleading. I am different then I was ten years ago because, I am taller, married, in college, have a child and go to college. As a ten year old I never even thought college was an option for me.

My life has been fairly easy so far. Not much has happened that I would say has “changed” my life. Change upsets me, and I feel disturbs my daily routine. So when my parents moved us twice, it created a lot of anxiety for me.

We all have had situations and events that have affected us throughout our lives, whether they were a dramatic occurrence or a quiet revelation. My most influential situation that has had a lasting impact on my life would have to be almost six years ago now, the week I first truly learned what it is to be responsible. This event taught me that although situations may not always be ideal, we can learn a lot about what we are really capable of just by making it through.

Growing up my parents would always teach my siblings and I to be the best we could in anything. Whether we liked it or not my siblings and I would always do things to our best ability. I was about seven years old when all of us started to realize that things at home were changing. My older siblings knew exactly what was going on at the time and would always tell me something to just make me go away, or to think that nothing was going on. I thought about my life at that time, every good thing that happened to me was a blessing. Having a mother who would wake my little brother and I to some good breakfast, she would walk us to the bus stop every morning, and we would pray that the day would be great. Life then was fantastic, not too many worries other than how many cavities I would have at the dentist. Shortly after I turned 8 years old, I could see a change in my parents. They weren't how they used to be. I would come home from school and not find my mom at the bus stop waiting for me, I would come into the house and see men in suits. As a child I didn't know what was going on, but when I saw my older sister cry, I was terrified. No more than a couple days went by and my sister told me what was going on. She told me there was nothing to really worry about.
