My Greatest Day Of My Life

One of the most major occurrences in my life is growing up without a father. In 2004 my dad was in a motorcycle accident and it was just like that. I obviously have it different than a lot of people, but I was so young that I think it affected me different than say my brother who is around nine years older than me. All that aside I feel it overall brought us much closer just because it’s about all we could do.

I once read a book about a guy who believes that everyone gets a tragedy at some point in their life. I never thought this could be true, because some people have great lives, and even if they do not how would they decide what the single hardest moment was? Recently my father passed away, and I realized you do not get to decide, you just know. This had been the hardest point in my life, however, the same book taught me that good things can come out of any bad experience if you look for them. Before I could see that I had to deal with many things, such as realizing he was really gone, going to his funeral, and going back to school. I also had to cope with the fact that I would never have the chance to change the relationship I

At first I had no idea why I hadn’t seen my dad in days and why I would have to take a long trip to Washington. After sometime my grandparents sat me down and informed me that my dad did something wrong and was going to jail. They also gave me the life-changing news that I was going to move in with them permanently and they were going to adopt me. After being adopted by my grandparents and taken from my father and home

One day as my mom was walking to school, she bumped into my father. They met and fell in love. They got married, moved out and started their lives. The day they got married, they made a promise to themselves. “Promise that from now on we are going to give us a better

The day I was born, is a day that sometimes is regretted . I used to wish I could turn back the sands of time and prevent my mom and dad from ever meeting. There were times that I wished i could have prevented my own birth, and let me tell you, if I could, I would. My mom used to say that I was her worst child and the reason that my dad divorced her. She made me feel like I was

All the events that happened in my life taught me a lot of lessons. Although my father's absence in my life affected me a lot, it helped me in the long run. I saw how hard my father was working for me, my education, and for my future. I know that this whole process was hard for him too. This is why I want to go to college, to show my dad that everything he is working for is getting put to

During that time, things weren't so easy for all of us, I had to start taking up things for my own, and learn how to provide and help my mom with the emotional time she was having. It wasn't easy, but the more time passes the more anxiety, stress, and depression went away. I had to grow up with not only one parent supporting me, but me having to support myself; getting used to not having the extra support. I grew up a strong, independent young women for myself, and my family. The things i've been through my life have been good at times, but the difficult situations shaped me as a the person I am today and I couldn't be more grateful. To get taught what more worth means to someone, to be strong, independent, and to live for myself. I thank God, and my family for making this all possible, and never giving up on me. By this, my life now is on what i'm doing after i’m out of high school, and not going to be anything, but successful for my parents. By doing that, I know i'll make them both so

That everyday I would wake up ,and would either be so sad all I wanted to do is cry or I would just hate the world. I told him I could never bring myself to commit suicide ,but I had absolutely no motivation to live. He was there for me. My dad did not threaten to send me away , he listened and agreed with some statements on mine about my view of the world. Now two months later I have an indomitable smile. I am now in counseling and getting help for what I needed , because of my “ father” I am alive.

To this day I consider me even being born one of the biggest gifts God has ever given me. For my mom, a big family is what she always dreamed of. However, that proved to be more difficult that she thought. One son and four miscarriages later, her and my Father had just

There is not a day in my life that I wake up and do not ask myself why? Why did my mother have to leave? Why did this happen to me? Without a doubt the absence of my mother has been the hardest obstacle I have had to overcome at such a small age. At just eight months old, my life took a drastic change, one that I would not have dreamed of happening. My parents separated and I was left to live with my dad and his family. At that age a mother to a child is everything, I needed her to do the most basic things yet she was not there. I grew up not knowing what the love of a mother was and having to do everything on my own. At an early stage in life I had to become independent and do everything on my own. I did not have someone to hold my hands and guide me through my childhood because even though my dad and his family were there, he was too busy working to provide for us and they had enough kids of their own to take care of to worry about us. His family although they loved us, they made difference between my sister and I and their children. We had to do everything around the house while they did nothing. We felt as if we had no voice, we had no one to support us. Being in those situations made me in who I am today. I am motivated to be someone in life, to make a difference. I will do everything in my power to become a successful person and do not let my past define me. The situation with my dad’s family has a big role in my determination to become someone. Their rejection and

I felt so happy to know him. In the same night, when I checked my facebook on my bed, I saw a request friend from him. I was so excited, so I jumped out of my bed by accident. I was so silly. After that day, we talked and texted more to each other. We talked about our hobbies, favorites, and daily story. Day by day, he walked me to class, waited the bus, did history worksheet, and stay up late to talk with me. I laughed a lots, whenever he was by my side. For these reasons, I liked him without knowing. On the first week of September, he waited for me in front of the art building, so we could walk to bus station together. When I came so close, he hold my hand, and confessed to me. I was little shy, and glad to listen to his thought about me. We was so lucky because we belonged to each other.

On September 23 was one of the most special days of my life. My brother Kevin got married to Amber Hayes and adopted her daughter Weslea.

I once heard a quote that T. Roosevelt said. It started with “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” I have believed and my life has been already halfway there. On a cool spring day, on May 25, 2005 I was welcomed to the world. I was born an identical twin at 2:29 PM. I was born first. I was referred to as Baby A before I was born. I weighed 6lbs 12oz and 18 ¾ inches. I had to be in the nursery for 12 hours to get more oxygen. I was named after Jada Pinkett Smith. My mom decided on the name and my sister picked me to be named Jada. Many of our family and friends came to hold and see me. That was a day I will never forget.

Can’t wait, it’s going to be my biggest day of my life. Thursday yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Dad walk in and asked “why are you so excited?“

Everyone always says that you do not realize what you have until it is gone, but I knew what I had, I just never thought I would lose it. Grasping that I was going to have to learn how to live without my boyfriend, Garret, in my life was one of the hardest things to come to terms with. He was my favorite and most important person in my life. Everything in my life now seemed colorless, and I did not know how to move on from there. The most important day of my life was the day my relationship with my first love ended because I discovered heartbreak, lost a best friend and grew stronger.
