Every journey begins with one small step. I took that step, esoterically, at the age of five, after the life altering experiences of past life flashbacks and the realization that the earthly plane was a launching pad to higher planes. I never felt the need to articulate my newfound awareness of a reality so profoundly different from that of the norm, that I acknowledged it secretly as a divine gift, I would one-day share with others. Following the death of my beloved dog and the trauma that besets
We’ve all gone through journeys. Small ones, large ones, significant ones, insignificant ones, but journeys nonetheless. Even as I, Ananya Bhatia, being a 13 year old, have gone through many journeys that I am sure will keep impacting me later on in my life. I am an 8th grader who attends Salem Middle School and I’ve lived in Apex, NC all my life. However, I can’t say the same for my family. My parents and all the generations above them have all lived in India and have gone through different struggles
My college applications were complete and I was on top of the world. My father couldn’t be more proud of my accomplishment. His face beamed with excitement as he enthusiastically told all of his friends, colleagues, and family that I was about to transfer to a university. The rejoicing didn’t last long, and came to an abrupt halt when I witnessed my father having a seizure and collapsing. He was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor that week and passed away the following summer, causing my life
Every day the thought of giving up crosses my mind. I think whether the end of this journey is worth the stress and the obstacles down the road. Everyone around me complain about how hard it is, but I’ve only seen one person push through it all, and that is my cousin, Michelle. She lives a life of examples to follow. She is the one that makes me believe in myself and pushes me to be the better version of myself. After watching “Why Most People Die by 25” by Prince Ea, it reminded me so much of Michelle
lie which led my grandmother to bring two bassinets to the hospital. However, everyone would soon have the relief of knowing there was only one me; but a fear of panic would surface once it was determined that my feet had took the place of where I may head should have fell. I was born breech. My world was upside down before I even took my first breath. A world I didn’t ask to be in but became grateful for because of my grandmother. My life was never intended to be simple. I owe my life accomplishments’
Growing up, I always saw my father experience pain. He spent his life fighting for the independence of his home country, but lost an internal war. His body was slowly deteriorating due to the increasing uptake of carcinogens. The red, green, and black of the country he fought for became the black plaque accumulated inside him. The end of his journey is only the beginning of my journey. I am the child of immigrants, the grandchild of warriors. I was raised on compassion, strength, endurance, and education
My life thus far has brought me through many journeys. The experiences I had disciplined me so much, I don't even know where to start. I am content for all the lessons I have learned through these experiences. God is my everything and is the only reason for this life. He has showed me the meaning of many things and is directing me to the right path. Therefore, the first influential person is Jesus. He has been present in every single thing I have been through. Times like loneliness and failure,
This life so far has brought me through many journeys. The experiences I have had taught me so much, I can’t even fully explain. I am thankful for all the lessons I have learned through these experiences. God is my everything and is the only reason for my life. He has showed me the meaning of many things and is directing me to the right path. Therfore, the first influencial person is Jesus. He has been present for every single thing I have been through. Times like lonileness and failure he brought
happy. That just entered from one ear and left right through the other. Now I have started to learn that I should be happy about starting a new chapter in my life. Because moving from place to place doesn't always have to be towards the negative, it can always be towards the positive. I think that everyone who has taken part of my journey in my life is part of who I am. People that I am close with, or not and just have only spoken to them once. I learn from them knowing what is right and what is not
I enjoyed when people would gaze up at me and express their admiration of my so-called God-given intellectual, as if the most dexterous dancer came out of the womb on pointe. My journey of running in the first tier of the marathon began when I was fighting to reach the fallopian tube as a perplexed cell, and continued to my teenage years of sprinting through the academic block. I had never planned for this increasing momentum to the top of the podium to cease, until last year. No really, I genuinely
