My Life Reflection Paper

I had a princess cake and some Disney princesses on top. Best birthday party ever. I remember going to a new school in 4th grade. I didn’t want to start school there but I ended up liking it very much. I’ve known my friends more than 4 years from Cedar Rapids. When we moved to Dubuque I ended up breaking my thumb. And I had to wear a cast for a month. For my 12th birthday we had cake and ice cream. And I’m doing other stuff too like HENNA!!!!!!! Might go to

Born at 8:33 in the morning. I was born on September 9, 2005. I was born at mercy hospital. My mom had a miss carriage before my sister and me. I was baptized September 25, 2005. I have a 16-year-old sister. When I was a baby, I had a little bit of breathing problems.

I was born January 24th in the year 2000. When I was born, I had three older brothers. We lived in an old cozy house in a small town call Forest Grove. My dad, David, had a vision to start his own construction company where He did home remodeling. My mom, Melinda, made it her responsibility to homeschool the four of us from a young age. As I grew up, we moved to an even smaller town call Gaston. It felt like we had just bought five acres of heaven. Some of my favorite thing to do were to ride bikes, shoot 22's, and solve Rubik's cubes.

When I was born it was around lunchtime on October 27, 1998 in the Plainville hospital. All went well other than the fact that I would not eat and had to stay in the hospital a little longer along with a few check ups afterwards. I never attended a formal preschool but, I went to daycare where my babysitter taught me the same as a preschool would. I have always lived in Stockton and have lived in three different houses. One of those houses was the rental house we had to stay in until we finished building our new house. We moved into the same house I am living in now when I was almost in kindergarten right next door to my daycare friend Joel.

When my parents divorced I stayed at my dads house in Florida,we lived in aparments fro a while,then we finally moved to a reagular house with a pool!Every summer I went up to Indiana,sometimes on winter breaks or fall breaks I would go up for the holidays.There was one summer on my golden birthday that I stayed.My birthday was on friday July 13 which was awesome because the movie jason include the same date.

People Always doubted me as a teenager when I was in high school being unhealthy and overweight weighing at 205lbs and always told I will never achieve my goals of how I wanted to look at the end of my high school years. Well here it is the time I proved everyone wrong it was the change.

Fate is a short and powerful four-letter word that most people enjoy believing in. However, other’s may believe it isn’t possible for events to happen without a logical explanation. For years, I was that type of person. I had a very hard time believing that there was a type of higher power controlling the destiny of my life. I challenged every situation I could by finding a way to prove, logically, on why it had happened. Whether the situation was good or bad, I chose to look at it short and sweet, with fear of becoming overly attached and focused on the situation. There were multiple events that had occurred in my life that lead me to think if I believed in fate, it would seem to be out to get me. However, when I was eighteen, my life did a complete turn around and so did my perspective on fate.

Throughout a person’s life, one is constantly making choices and decisions. From measly daily decisions to drastic life changing choices, one often does not realize that these choices could shape and transform a person into who he or she embodies today. Many times ordinary daily decisions are not dire, but as one travels down the winding road of life, he or she sometimes can run into a bump in the road that can change one’s life forever.

All teachers are role models, leaders, past students, and sleepless zombies trying to prepare lessons for class. In my viewpoint as she is someone that is incomparable. Ms Garcia has changed me in a so much that it would be impossible to explain how much she has changed me, since the day I first walked into her classroom she has acted like a second mother to me, helped me find ways to become more than any statistic would have you believe, and she has taught me how to build relationships.

On Tuesday September 12, 2017, I was getting ready to go out and pay my bills. I went out the door and went down the stairs and a woman approached me and asked if I had two dollars. I looked at the woman and act like I did not hear her. Then she asked me again if I had two dollars and I told her I would have to see if I had any change. I did not want to open my purse in front of the woman because I did not trust her. Then I went back in the house and looked in my purse. I went back out the door and gave the lady the two dollars. I asked the lady where did she live and she told me she move in the green house down the street from my house. I introduce myself by telling the lady my name. After I finished introducing myself to the lady, I begin talking to her about Jesus Christ and my testimony. She was impressed how I told her about how I met Jesus Christ. I explained to her how I had relationship with God and that she could also have a relationship with Him. I informed her that I would be back after I pay my bills. I invited her for dinner the next day. The lady came to my house for dinner. We talked and she informed me that she did not have any relatives in this city. She stated that she just lost her son and went through a divorce with her husband two weeks ago. As she was pouring out her problems, I listened to her. She started to cry and stated she was overwhelmed with things that was happening in her life. I asked her if I could pray for her and

Have you ever found yourself asking God to take you out of a rough season of your life? Your prayer may even look something like this “God, get me out of this mess.” We get consumed with our distress that we often miss the development. I will speak more on our personal and leadership development in the next blog. When was the last time you found yourself in a season of distress? For some of you reading this you are in that season right now. Guess what? You are not alone. I have been in a season of distress for the last several months.

Throughout life, stories are being created constantly. Lives come And go, people making memories that will follow them to the ends of their lives for the good or bad, and at times things just don't make sense at all or even you just don’t know how to feel about it. That very factor is the reason why Charles Swindall once said: “Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”. One person has that power to change their course of history, but you need to know the past to complete the future, after just 17 years of my life I've learned life is funny like that. For Life is a sick comedian and only you get the joke.

Do you ever hear a story and think to yourself, "Wow I can't imagine what that family/ person is going through," and then suddenly you find yourself stuck, trapped, broken, in a tragedy you never thought would happen to YOU.

Over the course of my lifetime, I've learned that life isn't fair. If you want something, you just don't get it for free; you have to work hard for it. Day and night you slave towards your goal and the results you gain from the experience might be worth it, or it might change your life forever. I'm not talking about positively, rather, the change will be so drastic that it might affect how you live your life.

One's dream and aspirations to supersede in life must be stronger and greater than limitations set forth by others. The experience that were bestowed to me during my short life has elevated me to the woman I am today. Please walk with me as I give you the opportunity to see the world from my eyes:
