Our turning points are what provoke change. They are "the point at which a significant change occurs," and when one happens to turn, it is this "significant change" that decides what will happen to our lives.

Getting a second chance, overcoming fear, and doing good can be turning points that cause changes in people’s lives.

“ The top mission for the counseling center on campus is keeping their students’ safety, so after a couple times I talk to my doctor about “suicide”, they told me if I keep the dangerous idea, they would contact hospitals,” said Danny, “I know their dilemma, but I just have much pressure when I knew I would be hospitalized. Then I tried to digest the bad feeling by myself.”

I never in my life imagined that I would go through something traumatic as suicide. I say that because I am a very happy person but sometimes even the happiest person is also hurting on the inside. I remember the day and time when the whole scenario occurred. I was home alone and very distraught with where my life was headed. I was in a mentally draining relationship and I felt absolutely low of myself. This was rare for me because I am a very outgoing individual, who barely cares about what others think about me. I was feeling excessively lonely, angry, tired, misused and drained from my current situation. It was like I felt all these emotions at once but nothing I would do could ease the pain. Suicide played in my mind all the time in this difficult period. Death seem so much easier to deal with but I was terribly wrong.

The first turning point discussed was the ability of the Seneca Nation to avoid termination. Termination was a process where tribal government was disbanded, and the reservation land was sold. Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson led a campaign to terminate the Seneca Nation in Washington that gained support on the reservation. At one point, the termination of the Seneca Nation seemed inevitable. Lucy Covington, the granddaughter of the last recognized Coville Chief, launched an attack on two fronts opposing the termination, Washington and the reservation. Covington gained enough support in both places to prevent the tribes termination. This was a major step in the building of modern indian nations.

This world changing moment, this epoch-altering second, this time changing event is even more tantalizing to the brain as it isn't some action-y, battle of arms, hero saving the world type of thing, but this movement that STILL changed the way the old world was and brought forth what the new world is. This novel focuses on 3 scholars, Poggio, Lucretius and Greenblatt. Poggio was responsible for recovering a huge number of older Latin manuscripts, which he found in ancient
