My Experience That Changed Me

My Experience that Changed Me- Personal Narrative I went to camp for the first time last summer to get away from the pressures of home and school. Camp was a month long, I have never been away from my parents more than a week. I was very anxious. I had no idea what situations to expect and how I would handle them. I started to really wonder about my life. The way it was going was not the best for me. I can “run away” from my reality, but I know that I was going to have to come back to it in

Identity My brother blew his hand up with a firework and lost 3 fingers. That experience changed his identity by making him a better person because he started to appreciate everything more. The definition of identity is, “the distinguishing character or personality of an individual.” This definition should be changed because someone’s personality is based off, and can change, from the experiences they have been through. The new definition should be, “Identity is how your experiences have changed how

of many others that changed me as much as this one did. I was born with a condition called SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia). I lived with it all my live. Whenever I got hit in the chest really hard my heart would race, and pound abnormally. The highest it got was 250-270 BPM (Beats Per Minute). I was in the fire station when they saw how fast it was beating. I was 12 when I was forced by my parents to get surgery instead of medication. I broke down emotionally because it was my first major surgery

traveling. I love how these experiences give me sense of adventure and freedom. I’m grateful for these experiences because they have shaped me into the person I am today. Often times when people think of an event that changed their outlook on life they always focus on the negative experiences. But for me, the moment that really changed my outlook on life was when my family and I took a vacation to Costa Rica. This event has great significance to me because it made me a more grateful, patient, and

My Amazing Life Story Experience Writing my life story was an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. This story was an important story for me to tell because it is about the day that I met my sponsor child. That experience of meeting my sponsor child was an experience that changed my life because I was able to physically see the boy that I have been pouring into. This experience also took my relationship with my sponsor child to another level because I was there in Zimbabwe Africa building my

An Irreplaceable Experience My future after high school did not come as easy as some people’s may. I was at a confusing state where higher education was necessary, but was it worth it? I completed my ACT test, visited multiple colleges, and was accepted to the colleges I applied for. The path of my future was still very unclear, until I visited the University of River Falls the fall before my high school graduation.

After being called to leave for Air Force Basic Training on a short 8-day notice, I was now finally at the end of my journey and tomorrow I would graduate and become an Airmen.

From these stories and personal testimonies, I decided that college was going to be extremely scary and brutally difficult. As my senior year in high school began, I had no plans of where I was going to go to college and how I was going to pay for it either.

shock. Gone were my Asian and Latino friends with whom I found it so easy to relate. I was in a new environment surrounded by strangers from different places and backgrounds. I initially dealt with this by gravitating toward people who were similar to me or appeared to share the same values I had grown up with. Instead of trying to develop relationships with students from diverse backgrounds, I put up my guard, with doubts about how I could relate to them. However, everything changed one fateful night
