My Eulogy Essay

I remember the trip like it was yesterday. It was the summer time on 2012, and it was very hot like summertime usually are. We took the trip 5 weeks before August because that was when I started school. The trip was for my mom, and aunts birthday because they like to celebrate their birthdays together every since they were younger. Their birthdays are close by each other, but not in the same month, and my grandma would always celebrate their birthdays together, so they stuck with that. The trip was planned for my mom, aunt, big cousins, and all of their kids to go, and we would go out to waterparks, and

The most memorable trip my family has ever taken would be our trip to Disney World. My family and I have went to Disney three times, each time we have went I've had the best time of my life. Nothing could make me feel the way going to Disney with my family does. At Disney I have made memories that will last a lifetime. From the memories on the drive down to Florida to the memories we make while we are there. I remember the very first time I went, you can ride a ferry boat to get to Disney. We decided to ride over on the ferry instead of the monorail, just riding on the ferry was a different, and great experience from the rest.

“A Godmother is a gift sent from heaven above, bringing pearls of wisdom and never ending love.” Not everyone has a godmother they’re really a gift. My mom and my godmother are best friends that’s how I became a goddaughter of a woman whose beautiful, giving, tall and outspoken. She’s the opposite of me and she is my inspiration. She’s a Pisces and I’m a taurus. Together we have a idealistic relationship and her being my mentor makes us inseparable. She’s outspoken and I am shy but she makes me speak up on things that I normally wouldn’t. She has been my mother best friend since they were my age which is seventeen. So we met when I was born on May 9, 2000 at a hospital in Newport News, Virginia. She treats me like i was her own child and

I had never given much thought into how I would die. There’s something about being young that causes us to believe we’re invincible. It’s not like dying young is uncommon, it’s just that there’s something extra despairing about a life ending before it had really begun. Over the past 18 years, I’ve never thought twice about my mortality. I mean, it wasn’t anything special to me. I knew that I would eventually die, but eventuallies aren’t always as far as you think. Here I am, only 18 years old, my cold body

My family has gone on many vacations, but the vacation to Cancun over Thanksgiving is the one I will always remember. My grandma took our whole family on a vacation to Cancun. There were many interesting events that took place on this trip that I will always remember. Every morning waking up to the amazing view of the ocean with the waves roaring to shore. We would spend our days hanging out by the pool and riding the massive waves at the beach. Playing basketball in the pool with the family is a circus trying to score.

The best vacation I ever took, would have to be when I went to Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio. Cedar Point is an amusement park. My parents had gone a few years before that. I was about 11 years old the first time I went to Cedar Point. I was very short, (still am) and couldn’t go on all the rides. But I still had fun. We also went on a Ferry Boat ride. And went to a cave and and a “Butterfly Palace”.

I remembered one of my aunts who visited our home for a week-vacation with her husband. Her husband was not accustomed to dogs that much, and our dog kept on barking and barking the entire night which made him unable to sleep. My aunt told us the following day that my uncle was so pissed off by the dog’s barking that he blurted out, “Can someone kill the dog?”

When my relatives and I were playing paintball, I was the first one to walk onto the field trying not to get hit by the other team. Being courageous can sometimes be dangerous, like when I walked onto the paintball field not knowing where the enemy was hiding. But being courageous can lead to new adventures. Ty from Street Pharm and the IRA Sniper from “The Sniper” both are courageous because they had to do actions that other people might not be comfortable doing.

Here is one example of courage at a regular house: John’s brother Jim wanted John to steal one of his sister’s toys. John said he wouldn’t even though he knew that Jim would get mad at him. Their parents were proud of John’s decision making and was awarded. Another example of courage can be at school. Bob, who’s working with Luke on the Science Fair, told Luke to sabotage Larry and Jeff’s project so they would win. Luke thought about it, but then said no even

One of my vacations that I really liked, was when I went to Steamboat Springs. We snowboarded for many days. I liked it so much that, this spring break I am going snowboarding again. I went with a couple family members like my aunts, cousins, and uncles. At Steamboat we did many things, we ate, snowboarded, played in the snow, (which never happens in my regular life in Texas) and took classes.

However, to focus on one major example of courage, I would like to think of the time my pet cat passed away. I had grown up with Garfield till the day he passed away, I was only 9 years old. I told myself that I had to hold it in and not allow myself to be weak, to not allow sorrow overcome me. As I have aged since then, I look back and think that was probably the most courageous thing I have done thus far. I had taught myself the starting steps of being an adult even though I was very young but I taught myself how to gather my courage and myself to look forward with life. I would ensure I would not drown myself in the memories of my pet cat or affect my daily life decisions. Another example can be when I had spoken up against bullies who were picking on my friend, back in school when I was much younger. It took me a lot of courage to be brave and actually speak up against a wrong action. Even though I was only one person against a lot of them, my action was just and courageous, hence no one dared to speak back at me or even tried to justify their actions. Courage is what assists me in driving my life towards a hopeful

Alvira! You are one of the craziest people I have ever met (hint hint the photo). You are so kind and deal with my 6:30am wake ups and my sharp midnight bedtimes. You make fun of my crazy happiness as we enter any big city, and my love for long bus rides. You want to be anarchaeologist (like Indian Indiana Jones AND Jackie Chan). And with your love of old rock bands I know you'll go far. I loved spending with month with you and if you are ever in the east cost give me a call! - your bathroom buddie for life, Megan

“6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…” Dr Richard Tumun cries as he calls out to his second born baby, Faith Tumun. She had just closed her eyes, teeth clenched, and was on her way to the land of the sleeping. That day, my body was on the brink of giving up, it refused all the medication given to it. I kept on emptying my bowel by throwing up everything that I consumed, medicine included. I was not able to keep anything down for long. It went in and came out with the same speed that it went in with.

-Nadia follows me everywhere I go. It has become a list of accomplishments and attributes that people associate me with and that I associate with myself. I make sure to work hard so when people hear my name they think I am a trustworthy friend, a dedicated student, and at times a reserved person.

When i saw him, my heart rate went up as i started running towards him and my eyes started to get watery. I hugged him awkwardly because he didn’t get up, I was hugging his head. I was choking him but i didn’t want to let go because i was so excited. Then he told me let me go you're choking me and i'm like i'm sorry and we laughed. He said “ I was going to get up but once i saw you i couldn't move i just tried and couldn’t”. Which was totally normal and i told him it was okay. I sat next to him and my mom presented herself and so did my sister and my mom left ot the car and my sister just sat in front taking pictures. I was just in shock i couldn't believe what was currently happening i would just look at him and tell him your real and he would just laugh at me and say i dont think im fake and we would laugh together. Tears running down my eyes as i would hold his hand and look at him and he would wipe my tears and tell me its okay. We sat there for about 10-15 minutes just talking and i asked him if he wanted to go eat and he asked me if i was hungry and i said yes but i really wasn't. We went outside got in the car and told my mom and so we went to this mexican restaurant and i ordered tacos as usual and so did everyone else. But i couldn't eat i tried and i couldn't i was just staring at him and admiring him with every moment he would make and every time he would smile i would smile. He thought i was nervous of eating eating in front of him and that wasn't it i was just
