My Life : Important Moments In Our Life

Everyone has their own little struggles in life, and like many people believe, things happened for a reason. Well at least that is what I have experienced. Throughout my life I have been taught by my parents that doing the right thing and having a set goal is one of the ways you can succeed in life.

When did you figure out what you wanted to be when you got older? Are you still asking yourself that question? Not only is it hard for people to figure out what they want in life, but to ask what you want to be? That is one of the hardest questions you have been asked. I figured out what my passion was at the age of thirteen. Biomedical engineer isn’t in many thirteen year olds’ vocabularies, so how did it end up in mine?

That is almost as if to say that you can only take one photograph your entire life and once the shutter clicks, that’s it. What moment would be worth taking a life lasting picture of? Would it be the first time you rode your bike or the last time your dad carried you on his back? How about your wedding day? Perhaps your beloved family pet who recently passed away? Maybe the family vacation you took to Disney?

The biggest part of my life, that changed me the most, is when I moved to Atlanta from Detroit. I was in the midst of becoming a teenager, going through puberty, and entering high school. It was the biggest decision I have ever made. However, it is not as bad as it sounds. Except for the fact that I had to adjust to a new environment that was nothing like home, with people whom I never met before.

2.Rabbi Sacks states that “What made the traditional family remarkable is what brought it together: sexual drive, physical desire, friendship, companionship, emotional kinship and love, the begetting of children and their protection and care, their early education and an induction into an identity and a history. Seldom has any institution woven together so many different drives and desires, roles, and responsibilities. It made sense of the world and gave it a human face, the face of love.” However “…almost everything that marriage once brought together has now been split apart.”

As the current was leading me to snare, my heart started to find itself in a state of panic. I did my best to steer from the danger of being trapped but it was too late. I was stuck. Unable to continue going downstream I got off my tube and tried to push out. But I started to slip, and I was sinking bit by bit. I grabbed a hold of the branch and positioned myself onto the log. So luck would have it, my friend helped me out of the sticky situation. As I continued down the stream, the question came up: what would happen if my friend was not there to bail me out?

Picture day of my fourth grade year started off as normal, arguing with my mom about pictures. As usual she won, and forced me to put on the new shirt she had and gotten me and did my hair. Once at school, I was distracted by classwork. Everything was fine until Mrs. Sue came to our classroom and told us that the photographer was ready for us. As we walked down the

My defining moment was the second I heard the garage door rising; my mother walked through the door, and I remember her saying her stereotypical line of, “Do you have anything to tell me?”

You can take photo of when you had a happy moment or you can take a photo of when you had a sad moment. Photos are there to make you remember a memory for a very long time. For example, you took a photo of yourself when you were young when your older you can look at it and remember all those fun memories you had when you were younger.

As a child I have always been known to my family as a quiet person. My parents would always tell me to be more open, to speak loudly, to get out of my shell. I really couldn’t find a way to express myself to get out what I was feeling inside to the my parents and to the world. As I started getting older I found ways to express myself through writing, and painting. Although I didn’t speak much I wrote my thoughts down in my little journals at home, though it being positive or negative, it became like therapy for my soul. I would write about moments that impacted my life and would then use them as lyrics that I would record myself signing to. These songs would serve as motivation to keep me moving forward. As an introvert I used creativity

I was born and raised in a Christian household simultaneously accepting Jesus Christ into my heart at the age of six. This past year I encountered a sincere relationship with God. I knew from a very young age that God is the One who created the heavens and the earth, that He is the author of life and the One who writes my story. Through the course of my life I’ve gone through unimaginable events nevertheless God has kept his promise for my life as stated in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”. This verse has become self-evident in my personal relationship with God serving as a reminder of whose I am, who I am living for and what my purpose on this earth is.

Throughout my life I have discovered that life can change in instances that I refer to as moments of impact. Recently many moments of impacts have affected my life. There are small day to day little moments that bring me joy and there are big life-changing moments such as building a house for a homeless family in Mexico last summer. The most recent moment of impact that still affects me on a daily basis is my family 's latest addition of new family members. On a very sunny day in May, we rescued two pyrenees mixes and named them Theo and Zara.

In moments of distress literature guides me. Moments in my life when I feel heavy hearted are quickly resolved as I turn to my favorite novels for comfort. Books reassure me that even in the worst situation good fate always wins . When I am lonely, I reacquaint myself with the safe and familiar characters that I know and love . Whenever I feel happy, I smile because I have lived the lives of warriors, enchantresses, and even the common day person. Although the emotional connection between literature and myself is imperishable, there was a time in my life when that bond was nonexistent. However, for one to understand the significant impact stories has had on my life, one must know my life. Thus, my story begins with my childhood. A conventional upbringing of sorts but of course my childhood doesn't begin with me. My childhood begins as most childhoods do, with my parents. My parents met each other during their freshmen year of high school when they were fourteen years old . Call it destiny, or mere luck, this one meet cue would define their lives for the next twenty two years. After their initial meeting, it did not take long for my parents to fall passionately in love.
