My Experience: One Of The Most Unforgettable Experience

People everywhere go through a lot of different experiences in their lives. These experiences could vary in importance, but all such experiences take a part in shaping a person. In my life I have gone through many experiences which shaped me in certain ways: some good, some bad. The experience I wish to reflect upon is one which taught me a good lesson. This experience which I would like to reflect on, taught me patience and gave me a lesson which I was able to learn from.

Half my friends laughing, the other half following quickly behind to see what’s going on. In between hanging up the phone with my mom and making it to the bathroom with no one behind me anymore, I realized, wow I’m a spoiled brat who got handed everything and reality came and bit my butt hard. I didn’t really need that sweater. Or the necklace I had bought earlier or even those to die for shoes I was drooling over. With this new sense of maturity, I went and returned all those things I didn’t need. When I got home I walk right into my mom’s room handed her the $250 I had just got back, from all the things I “needed” so badly, and told her,” You know mom, what you said was kind of mean but thanks.” She refused to accept my mom so when she wasn’t looking I put it in her purse later that

I remember a time when I was in elementary school, there was this library teacher whom I loved, she would help me read and she would give me a quarter even time I was able to read a book without quitting. It was probably the third time that she gave me a quarter and my mom called me from my room “Helen, where did you get this money from?’” I said, “I got it from my library teacher, she gave it to me for reading to her.” then my mom said, “I don’t believe you, I know you stole this, no teacher is going to just give you money, I don’t believe you can even read stupid!” That was when I knew at the age of 5 that this was the kind of mother life has given me.

In life, we never stop learning; and sometimes, we learn from the most unexpected persons, places, or incidents.

There is a lesson in every situation no matter if you choose to accept it or not. A lesson can sometime guide you in the right path that is needed in

That night after school, my parents got an email from Mrs. Shelly. They were shocked to see that I would do such a thing. They were very disappointed at what I had done. My parents yelled at me that night until my ear were ripped out of my head.

While big events can make major changes, little events define how we become as adults. My earliest memories is at a five year-old. It is one spot where I have been to, in my thoughts, more than any other has. In this memory, it was evening, as I stood on a dirt path. It was an unpaved driveway for the church parsonage.

A lot of people have life lessons or events that have changed them somehow. I have a very petrifying experience that changed how I see things. I was about ten years old when this happens my family and I were going on a trip to Frostburg State University. It was a Friday after school, I had to pack the night before, so we could leave right after I got off the bus, I remember not being very excited about going nor were my brothers. My parents were very excited though because it was the college that they both graduated from. I had no desire in going because I was only ten at the time, so I did not need to be visiting colleges, or going to more school on my weekend. We were just doing this for my parents, this obviously meant a lot to them. I don’t have much recognition of the ride up because I slept the majority of the it.

There are many Teachable Moments in life. Some are to be considered small and simple while others can be a touch more hard to stomach. I still remember, quite vividly and somewhat unfortunately, the afternoon from which I learned two different lessons created by the same experience.

Throughout our childhood, we all can recall memorable moments about things we experienced. Whether it be losing a tooth or getting in trouble during recess. The children in To Kill a Mockingbird Scout, Jem, and Dill spends their childhood together learning from each other and the town around them. Today the concept of “childhood” is changing for each generation and becoming more connected with technology rather than going to the park. Still, there are things every child can relate to or remind them of a similar event. Such as fearing a neighbor, summertime, and the first day of school. There are many different components that make up our childhood experiences.

In a world centered around the present and the prospects of the future, it is difficult to remember that there exists something arguably more important: the past, and more importantly, childhood - the days of what seems like a life-time ago. But our childhood is actually probably closer to us than anything else. With a little provocation, the dam constructed of our current burdens is breached and all the childhood memories flood us with nostalgia. And that is precisely what childhood is: a constant reminder of the past and its everlasting impact on us.

Each day in different ways we experience moments of learning, both educationally and in real world scenarios. For example, in almost every Disney produced movie there is a greater lesson to be interpreted. Though our society is far from a utopia, described as a perfect place, our culture deems a great emphasis of importance on the ideals of selflessness, committing to a promise, and appreciating that hand in which you have dealt in life.

I creeped up to my parents bedroom door and pressed my ear against it. Taken back, I felt apprehensive, I didn’t know what to do or what to expect next. I ran to my big brothers room, leaping into his arms. My brother, Josh, began asking me what was wrong. Shaking and feeling distraught I began to explain what I had heard. I realized that the new barbie coming out was no long as important as how my life was about to change; my parents were going their separate ways. I was just six years old when my mother told me the words that no parents ever wants to say to their children. I witnessed my parents relationship devolve into constant tension. Each argument between them was agonizing, and a constant deafening silence filled my mind as my parents

Throughout my years in elementary and high school, I am able to recall numerous experiences which “stand out” in my mind as meaningful. Certain teachers had different methods of making their lessonxdas effective and easy to understand. However, in all of my memories, a single day in fifth grade is remembered as an exciting day that literally changed my life.

Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers' license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today.
