My Speech On My Life

When I was a child, most of the stories or situations I have been through was, mostly, my dad hitting me and my parents fighting constantly; so pretty much I did not really grew up watching Barney, traveling to places, and going to Disneyland often. I thought I would have to live like this for the rest of my academic life, but one day around the age of eight, my dream came true. My parents had enough of each other, so they went their own ways; even though, I was glad that I do not have to life miserably anymore, I was not. I thought that everything would settle down and live a calm life with my mom, but as a result, I ended up raising my two siblings. My dad left the house, my mom was in her own world, and I had to watch my siblings. I thought my parents divorce would benefit me, but all it did was for me to not live as an eight-year-old would. I thought that my dream of going to a great university and becoming a Physician Assistant came crashing down. A couple weeks later, my dad came back and long-story short, my siblings and I had to go hang out with my dad for

I stepped off the bus and to my surprise, my mom was not there. I looked around and spotted my brother Paul waiting for me. He told me my mother was in the hospital with my oldest brother, Jason, who had just been in a car accident which left him with a broken neck, shoulder and forearm. The experience of his recovery inspired me to look at life differently. I believe everything happens for a reason, I spend more time with my family and I look up to my brother.

When I was 12 years old I lost my dad. After him being in prison my whole life his life was taken. During my grievance period I did some things that might not have been in my best of interest. Sooner than later it all came to an end. It was then that I realized that everything happens for a reason and it started to motivate me to do better.

When I was about five years old I had something happen to me that would change forever. My life before this was not the best and was really confusing to understand and that was because I was always moving into different houses with my mom and would always have a new dad which as a little kid you don’t really know what is going on and have to just deal with it. My mother was not the best and did not take really good care of me.

Growing up, it is easy to imagine the future playing out something like this: attend college, score that dream job, get rich, get married, have kids, and live happily ever after. It all sounds pretty familiar, however many young adults find that life does not always happen so simply. There are horror stories everywhere. Students graduate, fail to find a job in their field as they expected, and are left feeling hopeless as their credit card and loan bills pile sky high. Take Paige Nichols for example. Paige grew up in a family that was well-off financially. Her parents were able to pay for her two younger siblings’ college educations and, like many middle class children, she was used to getting what she wanted. However, by the time it was her turn to go to college, her parents’ financial situation had gone downhill and she was left to pay for her education by herself. After four years she graduated with a business degree and $20,000 in debt to go with it. Her payment plan was set at $300 per month, and although she had jobs, she was used to living frivolously, and therefore only made the bare minimum payment of $50 most months. This left her in a position where she would remain in debt until she was 50 years old. A few years after graduating with her bachelor’s, she considered going back for her master’s in forensic psychology, something she had grown very fond of. However, since she was already inundated with student debt and could not afford to spend an extra

Everything happens for a reason. This saying is one of the most popular things that people say in today's world, especially after huge life changing events. These “life changing” events could be anything from a new child being born to a bombing in the Koreas. To really find out about my family history and further investigate this saying I interviewed my mother; Rebecca, and grandfather; Tom. In these interviews we talked about two huge events that have impacted history. These events are the Kennedy Assassination and the bombing of the World Trade Centers on September 11th, 2001. My family has been impacted by both events in numerous ways and I learned that these types of events not only cause mass hysteria, but also bring us closer together, and really force us to be grateful for what we have.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. There are many things that have happened in my life either to my family or to me that has lead me to this my belief. Whether bad things or good things happen to us in life, we must always know that it happened for a reason remember everything happens for a reason.

I thought my whole life was going great and I believed nothing could ever change that until my mom told me some news that I would have died not to hear because it broke my heart. I got picked up early from school and went home. and I walked into my house and there were people with blank faces and my mom crying in the corner. Then, my mom told me the awful news that no one never wanted to hear. After the news, I started to wonder why God did this, but I knew it was for a reason and I knew he had a plan for me, that’s also my law of life is that God has a plan for everyone.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. Though we might not realize it while we are too caught up in our tears, we must realize that life starts but someday it must also come to an end. I first realized this concept not too long ago as a result of my grandmothers passing. One afternoon three days before the most exciting time of my life, Junior Ring, I experienced the most traumatic time in my life. It all started March 28th, 2017, with me sitting on the couch doing my homework identical to any normal day after school. Suddenly I received my cousin's strange call. I rarely receive calls from him and by his tone of voice, I could tell something was wrong even though he didn't mention a thing. Not too long after I got a call from my

My mom elaborated for me stating that things happen in life that we can not control. At times like this I should not blame myself just keep in mind that both of my parents love me and are doing something for me to have a better living environment and upbringing. Although it might be difficult to except this at first it might just be for the better of things in general. After I heard and accepted what my mom had to say, I was ready to hear what my pops had to say about it in his own words.

“Almost there” I smiled. My mom is like my best friend, We were inseparable. and we still are to this very day.

Young Life did not just begin with a program, but it began with a simple concern for kids

Sometimes we don’t understand why stuff happens to us because our life is perfect,but I had to stop thinking that way 7 years ago. It was St Patrick's day,2010 and I was a little four year old and had no understanding of this day and what it meant. My day was going perfectly fine and my older sister,Katie,who was 7 learned about what this whole celebration was about. So what basically happened was we went with our day and we don’t celebrate St Patrick’s day so we went out for dinner with my entire family from my mom’s side.

Hello Jodie,My name is Kyle McKenna I am currently grade 10 and attending Latrobe High School.

Math was always a subject that I struggled with throughout all of my years in school. This was actually brought to my attention when I was getting ready for my high school graduation party a few years ago. I was putting together an album of various pictures and other documents of things I had collected throughout my life, from Prekindergarten to my senior year of high school. Some of these documents included school projects, documentation from my school of how much I 'd grown in a year, and most importantly my report cards. While looking at them, I realized, how consistently average, or in some cases below average, I was in math.
