If there was any day that I got thrown a huge curveball, it was this day. What a sunny and warm August day it was. The birds were chirping and almost everyone was in the best of spirits. Unfortunately for me, I got woken up to one of the worst things I will ever hear in my lifetime. To give a little background, I have been in a long distance relationship for over two and a half years. My boyfriend and I are not that far in distance compared to others. But we are far enough that it makes for a little struggle to see each other. Every night I send the same goodnight text and I always make sure I see it says “delivered.” This particular night I did not see delivered underneath the text. I waited for about a minute but I figured it was nothing. I went to bed for the night and kept my ringer on incase I got a call from him at some point. The next morning my mother came in at about ten to inform me that something bad had happened overnight. My boyfriend who is a very healthy kid, has no heart problems or anything went into cardiac arrest. I could not believe what I had just heard. I could see the fear in my mother’s …show more content…
I really don’t know where I would be without her. She always knows how to try to make things better when anything goes wrong. Her and I just know what to say and what to do when anything bad happens. Coincidentally, my younger sisters that day had a show they were going to. They were attending a show that a youtuber named Tana Mongeau was putting on. I personally have heard of her and I have watched some of her videos. But this day gave my mother and I the opportunity to have one on one time together. To try to regroup ourselves and be ready for what could come next as far as my boyfriend was concerned. One thing I learnt from my boyfriend's mother was to try to stay positive in even the worst of situations. In honor of her in this tough time, I did just that. The whole car ride I played DJ and put on my favorite

From the moment I was able to tie my shoes and button my jacket, I knew I wanted to be a doctor. While all my classmates at the La Petite Academy made macaroni trees and smiley faces, I drew myself with a stethoscope curing a poor man with the cold. Every year in elementary school, we had career day. Never straying from my love to helping others I wanted to be a surgeon one year, to a dentist the next, and even an obstetrician, I changed my mind quickly once I found out what they did. Looking back on my childhood, I always had a connection with animals and always loved being around them. Early mornings I would open our nearly frozen-shut windows listening to the birds calling. Beside from the squawking of the crows, I heard a soft, pleasant yet curious bird call. It stuck out to me
The Grimm Brothers version of Rapunzel can be viewed as gruesome, filled with deception and abandonment from start to finish. Which is why these two examples can be seen as the main narratives in this fairy tale. Rapunzel was forced to live a lonely life, locked away from civilization in which she had no control over, due to her parent’s mistake of trading their own daughter for some rampion. Rapunzel’s moral rights were not being respected, this is where The Rights Approach ethical standard comes to view, which states that “humans should have the ability to choose freely what they want to do with their lives” (Behrens, Rosen 276).
Throughout the past year I went through a great deal of undertakings that caused me to become more experienced with my skills and how to overcome various challenges. These really built up my character and the way I am today. In all aspects, this past year consisted of going to Killington, Vermont, my brother going into the Air Force, meeting him in Texas for his graduation of basic training, completing a double backflip on a trampoline, landing a front flip on flat ground, accomplishment of a 2 ½ front flip on a diving board, getting 2nd at leagues, and competing in districts. All of these activities have advanced me in a skill or challenged me to an extent.
The pixies leader looked at the quartz and garnets with interest. He flew closer and picked up a medium size quartz crystal and bit into to to check whether is was real or not. Once he was satisfied he agreed.
For many, their formative years have a large influence on who they become as adults. This can happen in many different ways including new experiences, discovering a new sport or hobby, and uncovering what they are passionate about. For me, this was falling in love with a new language from a very young age and becoming very interested in the culture that was associated with it.
Failure is truly negative if we choose to not learn from it. When we face setbacks and difficulties, we are given golden opportunities to grow as people. Learning from our shortcomings makes us wiser, stronger, and unveils a chance to turn an undesirable outcome into a building block of character. My hockey career has been a sinusoidal trail of highs and lows, but I always learned from the downturns.
I moved away as fast as i could to get some distance but then realized that this cat wanted me dead and i couldn't run so i had to fight. I ran and pounced on the cat like it did to me and i hit it with all of my force right on its chest. The cat let out a loud cry i felt relieved that i wasn't dying. I hit the cat again since it was still on the ground. Quickly the cat got up and ran away. I stood back watching this cat bllt down the street in pain and fear. The wound that this cat gave me on my face wa now catching up to me and it started to hurt. I turned around feeling like i was on top of the world reevaluating the fight in my mind thinking about how i could have improved my fighting technique. I kept walking until i got to the fence of
If you've ever moved you may have felt the way I have. Now this whole moving "thing" didn't seem to bad to me in the beginning, probably due to the fact that I was only 8 years old. Though I didn't exactly know that we were moving out of the county and away from my friends, that was the surprise to me. That reason specifically hit me the hardest. Either way it could have gone worse, but it went pretty well after awhile of settling in, fixing ,and changing my life style.
When I first began thinking about college, freshman year of high school, I was excited but very nervous at the same time. I wanted to make sure I chose the right school for both myself and my career. I knew I wanted somewhere close to home, but not too close. UNC Wilmington was the perfect fit for me all around. Being only two hours from home and having the academics I needed, I knew that was the college for me. After being here for only two weeks, I can already say, I made a good decision.
From the very beginning of the school year, all the teachers have been acknowledging all the things that will prepare us for high school, and I have been thinking nothing about it. I kept telling myself that high school is still so far away. All of a sudden, it has hit me that i’m graduating and moving on to high school. In my short time in District 57, I have learned a vast amount of things from complex equations in math, to managing homework.
I wasn't expecting freshman year to go by as fast as it did, it all went by in a blur and if I could go back and redo it all over again, I would. Words can not describe how ashamed, and how deeply I regret jeopardizing my academic future. Before freshman year I had lived unexposed to the world in Amish county, Lancaster Pennsylvania, a small religious farmers town. When I graduated high school I had my life together; I was going to attend a great university, pursue a career in communications , and move to the city of my dreams.
Eighteen years ago I was delivered in a hospital in Tokyo, Japan and was taken to the United States embassy a month later to become a United States citizen. My parents had been living in Japan for two years, my father was on a work vista, and we stayed for another six. Whenever I talk about my early years I am aware it was a unique upbringing that would not have been possible a hundred years ago. Social and economic changes, and technological innovations in the 20th century impacted me even though I was born three years before the turn of the century.
When i was born, i had a breathing problem, and paralyzed from head to toe. The doctor had to straped tubes to me, so I can breath properly. They have to perform operations on me, but It was unsuccessful. The doctor said, that i will die in a couple of hours. My mom and dad were shocked that was still alive in the morning. I was recovered so fast it was a miracle. A year later, i was out the hospital. 10 year laters, my parent was watching nba on tv ,while i was sleeping in my bed. Then the power went off suddenly. BOOM!! Glass broke.! I woke up and got curious where the sound came from, so i got out of bed, grab my baseball bat and went to investigative.i tiptoe into the hall wall trying not to make a sound. Then i heard a gun shots and
Throughout one’s lifetime, it is almost guaranteed that he or she has heard the saying “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” This saying is pretty self-explanatory, and it is extremely helpful in multiple scenarios, especially in times of struggle. From a young age, I have always been a cheerleader. Recently, circumstances have changed causing me to question my abilities. I have numerous personal experiences throughout my life that illustrate this saying; however, this one is the most recent.
