Life Lessons

Response to change is a major key people’s success in life. Everyday people make decisions on change. The way people act on those obstacles makes or breaks a person. Responding the right way can be one of the most challenging objectives a person may face.

Sometimes life lessons are learned the hard way. Unfortunately for me, this is how I learned mine. I do not mean to make this sad and depressing, but this is the truth.

I have learned to forgive and live. I have to learn to grow from the experience.

I haven’t been able to sleep for the past month. I hear my door creak and I look at the door. I see someone open the door very slowly before coming in. I look to see Maria tiptoeing into my room. “What are you doing?” I ask “You know your mom would kill me if she saw us.”

Next to the front door, Noah had propped a backpack up against the wall. From it, he fished out car keys, hissing as they crashed against each other. He packed his car halfway down the block tonight so his mother wouldn’t hear it as it scuffled down the driveway, see the headlights as he sped off. He shouldered the backpack, readjusting his balance as the weight shook him back and forth. He sent another glance towards upstairs, to his mother’s bedroom. She would hate him for this. She would destroy him for this.

My mother was out of town, so I knew it was not her. I grew afraid of the strange woman in my house, the maroon-colored walls in my bedroom was giving me an ominous feeling, making my room look stained with blood. I went quietly out of my door and down the hallway, knowing that they were arguing in the kitchen by the volume of their voices. I paused in the middle of the hall, unsure whether to continue or to go back to my bedroom. I only decided on the former after I heard a muffled shout and the woman’s voice laughing. This decision was the biggest mistake of my life.

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." As Henry Adams stated, and is the summary of the impervious bond between the characters Mitch and Morrie, in Tuesdays with Morrie. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease is a form of motor neuron diseases. It is a rare disorder in which the nerves that control muscular activity degenerate within the brain and spinal cord. What results is weakness and wasting away of the muscles. The cause is unknown. About one to two cases of ALS are diagnosed annually per 100,000 people in the US. (Lou) Sufferers will notice weakness in the hands and arms accompanied by wasting of the muscles (Motor).

My brother taught me how to react to life and what it throws at you is not always something worth reacting hugely about. He taught me this indirectly, by not telling me wise words but by his actions. How he reacted to things was something I watched, he did get upset a time or two, but he always tried his hardest not to. He may have gotten upset a time or two, but his words and actions made me who I

Throughout the momentous storyline of To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch, father of Scout and her brother Jem, establishes himself as an honorable and eloquent individual. As a result of living a long life with plentiful escapades, he has gained a vast amount of knowledge that is passed on to his children at various points in the story. This makes it a very valuable book that is full of significant life lessons. One of these precious statements is, “You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.” I find this quote to be accurate, solely for the reason that no human can completely understand and relate to any other unless they have an encounter with the experiences and occurrences that those who are different

As a high school graduate I could tell you the derivative of a complex equation and how to conjugate the French word for to play in multiple tenses, but I would not be able to change a tire or balance a check book. Due to this lack of knowledge a much needed class would be “The Life Lessons No One Tells You About”. In this class students would learn the basic human skills that would propel them through the rest of their life such as how to sow a button, how to change a tire, how to balance a check book etc.

The world seemed to stand still that day when it all happened. Nothing happened like it did in the movies. No loud hysterical crying and screaming, just silence. Maybe that's what bothered me the most was how omitted everything was. The sun still shone and the summer breeze still blew gently through the birch leaves like any other day. The only thing different that day was that my father was going to die. Around 7 o'clock that morning, I'd be woken up to my bed being violently shaken accompanied by hurried voice saying "Wake up, dad's going to die, hurry up." I remember jumping out of bed and running into my parent's bedroom in a somnolent state to seeing my brother's body hovering over my father's as he was frantically performing CPR. Finally after to what seemed like a lifetime we heard the amalgamated sirens of the police, fire department and ambulance. The paramedics rushed in and quickly back out with only my dying father followed by my crying mother who stumbled closely behind. I

Throughout our life we will always meet many people that teach us major life lessons,

As I awoke from a good night’s rest, I usually would lay in bed for a while just gathering my thoughts and thinking about life. Some of the things that ran through my life were anything from my friends to the days of going off to college rapidly approaching. After laying for a while I would get up and head to the shower to start my day. Once I was done rinsing and cleaning my body, I would turn the shower off and dry off with a towel. When I was done drying off and putting on my clothes, I headed down the stairs to socialize with family and friends. I walked outside to sit on the porch where my dad was telling stories from whenever he was a kid. Inside I could hear my aunts, who were very flustered, discussing what else needed to be done

All through life, we experience various occasions when decision-making become necessary. A number of them present themselves in difficult forms and at crucial points. Most of the verdict we take will eventually figure and describe our track of lives. These are what we refer to as lessons of life. Choices never present themselves in an easy way. In some instance we are always forced to pay a price to achieve something. This implies that we are trading for an outcome we are seeking.
