My Life That Changed Me

My mother had picked me up after school. On our way home, we passed by the school where both my uncle Beto worked. There was an ambulance there and we thought maybe a teacher had an accident. Shortly after we get a phone call from my aunt Ana, it turned out that my uncle suffered a heart attack while working. No one saw him while he collapsed, until moments later a teacher saw him laying on the floor, shaking, trying to breathe. My mom and I rushed to the school to see how my uncle was responding to the paramedics. My aunt was already there, we had to take her to the hospital because EMS wouldn’t let her drive while she was still in shock. It was hard to see how the paramedics were trying to help him

My maternal aunt gathered us together and we all sat on the couch. She turned to my mother and told us she had cancer. I looked at my aunt and I did not know what to say or how to respond. Three months later, my father received a phone call from his sister telling him that my pregnant cousin, Elizabeth, was diagnosed with leukemia and had to give birth to her premature baby. She and I grew up in the same house in Arizona and what hurt me the most was not being able to be with her during this difficult time. When we went to visit her in Arizona, my dad told us before entering the hospital room that he did not want us to cry in front of her. I was scared to enter. I did not know what to say to her but I knew I had to be strong. We stayed there for the holiday season but we never celebrated the holidays, that was too

As we pulled into my driveway, my mom was waiting outside. My dad got out the van and went and hugged my mom, I was still sitting in the van. My hand sat on the handle, or at least I think it did, my body felt numb. A few minutes later, I finally opened the door and walked up to my mom who was still outside, my dad was inside telling my brother the news.

It was as if my heart stopped beating and time froze. I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was a wonderful sunny day in May 2009, I was having a fantastic time outside playing soccer with my brother's, everything was perfect until my mom got a phone call. It was my Aunt Cindy, she was frantic, rambling on and on and on to the point where my mom couldn't understand her! My mom got her to calm down and had her tell why she sounded so worried. She nervously mumbled ¨Our dear friend Dale has been hit by a Kindercare bus and is in critical condition and on her way to the hospital¨. Dale was my Aunt Cindy's best friend, none of her family is alive, so she's spends all holidays with us and is a very close family friend she basically is like

It was one life-changing experience I was seven years old when I became grateful for the things that I had. I remember packing for this big trip my parents were planning for a year now. I precisely recall my mother telling me to go through my closet and pick clothes I did not use to give away, I didn't know why, but I didn't ask, I just did it. As the day got closer I remember my parents had accumulated a great amount of things to give away. I quite didn't understand why they were gathering so many things and for what reason.

I cannot think of a single event that has changed my life. I believe that who someone is determined on their genes and how they were raised over a long period of time, such as who their parents are, where they live and how others sway their beliefs. Because of the thing that happen to use in the past it will determine the decisions we make later on. The outcome of those decisions will further change who we are. Also sudden tragic events will change a person's life by making their outlook on life different. Although someone's opinions on the world doesn't have to be changed by bad thing happening to them. For instance, if someone is going through a hard time and suddenly something changes to make things easier people have more faith than they

I had gotten home from school and there was a bunch of flowers on the table, and I knew she had passed away even though \my parents did not tell me I just knew. I felt a huge rush of sadness flow through my body as my parents told me to come inside and that they needed to tell me something. When I saw my dad's eyes fill with tears I knew she had passed away. When

As soon as our eyes met, I knew my life would be changed forever. He knew too by the small smile he returned to me. Being with Jacob was like spring. Everything was so new and exciting. We had no idea what was going to come, uncertainty was around us all the time, but we knew that just being with each other made us happier than anything we had ever felt before. Every day I woke up with him on my mind, and I couldn’t wait to get up and get to see him. One of the thrills of being with Jacob was that my parents didn’t approve. I knew that at any moment I could be caught with him, and if this happened I would lose my parents trust forever. I was always on edge. My adrenaline rushing waiting to see how the day would end. My first kiss was joined by my racing heart, so loud I couldn’t hear anything else, and my legs quivering so badly I almost fell when he let go of me.

As Sissie grew up she had flashbacks, the flashbacks of her as a young age until a teenager. That have been following her now that she has grown up.

Humans are amazing beings. We as humans are capable of doing great things. Unfortunately many people are satisfied with being average, and not accomplishing much in their life. Many people are convinced that they can’t be great or can’t achieve greatness in their life. However I believe that anyone can change his or her life for the better and obtain a successful and fruitful life. In this essay I am going to talk about how I changed my life from an overweight teen with no ambition to a relatively fit adult with a passion.

However, not too long after that I coincidentally changed my mind. It was the day that we were in touch. As unexpected as it felt for you it felt just as unexpected for me. We recalled how the timing just seemed so crazy. Who would have known? I kept thinking of “school and work”. I kept thinking of how I seemed content. I even thought about how I didn’t plan to even date anytime soon. Little did I know I was wrong. It’s funny how that worked out. The timing was during one of the toughest times of my life. For a while I was unable to feel a sense of being okay. I felt like all of the bad that could possibly happen consistently did. I didn 't think that anything good would come. There weren 't many signs that directed me to feeling like the days could get better. In the midst of these things you entered my life. You helped me realize that things do get better. You listened to what I felt were my annoying venting moments about how down I’ve become.

In my lifetime, there have been many breathtaking and wonderful experience’s I have had the pleasure in being a part of, only one experience comes to mind when I think about a personal experience that’s dear to me. The experience that is most dear to me would be one that changed my view on life and the path I had paved for myself along the way.

I have had many events in my life that have made a difference, however one event that has changed my life forever was that day that I met my wife. If I hadn 't had met her there would be many things that wouldn 't have happened. First off I probably wouldn’t be married today as I wasn 't actively looking for a girlfriend at the time, I wouldn’t have daughter and I wouldn’t be the person that I am today. With out a doubt meeting my wife while I was working and having the guts to ask her out on our first date was an event that made a difference in my life.

I was a little girl when it happened, barely nine years old. My grandmother had been undergoing heart surgery that day, and I had high hopes for her recovery. I begged and pleaded with my mom, to just let me see her once, but my mother wanted to go alone. Instead of arguing, I gave her a homemade “Get Well.” card I had made; little did I know that would be the last thing my grandmother would see of mine. My mom had come back that very night with horrible news. We’d baked cookies that day, and my siblings and I had patiently waited for the news on our grandmother’s condition. After she greeted us, my mother sat us all down. I was not expecting what came out of my mom’s mouth next, “I’m sorry, but grannie has passed on.” I was now experiencing the worst day of my life, for the 2nd time, and it would only get worse.

Someone who has had a profound effect on me and who I am is my mom. She has done so much for me and my and she has played a large part in shaping who I am today. It is my mom’s commitment to others success, communication skills, compassion, family values, the home environment she created, her motivational techniques, and work ethic that had the largest impact on me.
