Reflection Paper On The Gd Test

A lifetime is divided by many years, years into days, days into hours, and hours into minutes. But out of these minutes, some stand out the most making our most memorable of our memories. Whether you felt joy, anger, or sadness, it is the way that we felt at that second what makes us remember that moment and what made us change from who we were. It is an experience where you know you can’t go back. In the following passage, I will talk about my rite of passage.

Taking a drivers test was harder than it seemed, and the level of tension was through the roof. It didn’t help that I also got the guy who was rumoured to never give anyone a licence. I was sweating really hard and my hand almost slipped off the wheel.

I’ve had many moments that I didn’t know would change my life, but they ended up impacting me in a big way. One moment was when I applied for kindergarten at my old school. I was only three, so I had no idea how important that time would be. I ended up on the waiting list, but I got in. That school had a huge influence on me. I loved going there. I made many friends that I will have forever, and I learned so much. I had no idea that school would mean so much to me, but looking back on it, it was a huge part of my childhood. Another time was when I interviewed to get into Park. Being accepted to Park and choosing to go to this school took me on a completely different path than if I had gone somewhere else. Right now, I’m in the process of applying to high schools. I don’t know what will happen, but one moment can change everything. In the future I’m also going to have to apply to colleges. There are also other moments that changed my life. An example is when my mom signed me up for gymnastics. I didn’t know I would like it so much, but now I love it. This has had an impact on my identity and the the schools I’ve attended have too. I’m still young, so I’m going to have many times that will change my life and identity in the

All testers were to wait in a large room while two students would be chosen at a random time to go into the lab to test. The whole room was tense. All the students were practicing over and over again, all my classmates were prepared but the nerves tell us we were not ready. The first two students were called starting at 9am, from there about every forty five minutes two more were called at a random. Around 11:15 my name was called. I honestly could’ve cried with the amount of emotions and nerves running through my body. I walked in, signed a waver and was given my three skills to complete. Dressing a patient, checking pulse, and brushing teeth, three skills that I knew hands down. I was ready, I began washing my hands and continued with the steps of my skills. Everything went so fast, before I knew it I was done and dismissed. I felt confident while completing the skills but now I was left to go back to the waiting room to sit and wait yet

After reviewing my life, I have decided my life defining moment was when my family and I moved to Texas from Oklahoma. I consider this move my life changing moment because it changed so many things in my life. This move set the stage for an entirely new life for me. Moving six hours away from the only home I knew certainly called for many changes.

Similarly to Christy Brown in My Left Foot, everybody has experienced significant moments in their lives that have shaped the people they are. There is one specific moment in my life that stands out to me as a substantial event in determining my character as a human being. Likewise to Christy Brown finally being able to use writing as a form of communication, I was finally able to appreciate how lucky I am and realize that many other people are not as fortunate. When I was in fourth grade, I stepped outside of my comfort zone and unknowingly gained information that was difficult for me to comprehend at the time, but ended up having an immense effect on the way I view other people. That very day, I learned to treat everybody with kindheartedness because you never know what he or she may be going through in his or her life.

Another critical moment in my life that changed me forever occurred in August of 2001. At the peak of hurricane season, Louisiana was terribly affected by Hurricane Katrina. Katrina devastated millions of people across the south. For the first time in my life I got to experience what it felt like to be homeless. I had lost everything! And even though it was not much, it still mattered. There were several moments when I prayed and wished that my father could be there. No child, my age should have to go through with what I did. In hopes to find assistance, my mother left me and my siblings with my grandmother for a few months. These months were terrifying. I remember crying several nights

One of the proudest moments in my life is when I hit a homerun that won the game for my baseball team. I just completed the sixth grade and was looking forward to baseball season with my friends that summer. I was so happy we were all on the same team, the Red Wings. I was playing second base, and for the first time, I felt confident about my position. I didn’t let a ball get past me. I was catching and throwing that ball like a pro. In addition, I was hitting balls like never before, and scoring runs for the team. For the first time since T ball I felt like a real star!

The two characters Marian and Bethany Hamilton, both faced different tragic events but both didn’t let that experience bring them down. In the story “The Test” by Angelica Gibbs, the character Marian faces the challenge of getting her drivers license, yet she has trouble because she encounters a racist driving instructor. On the other hand, in the article “Can a devastating shark attack really lead to a better life?” by Melanie Greenberg, the character Bethany Hamilton faced a devastating event because she got her arm bit off by a shark while surfing. Bethany never gave up but being a strong and hopeful woman led her to continue surfing, and had a positive effect on her. A common theme between both stories is one can still overcome a tragic event no matter how bad it is with support and a positive mind.

Throughout my life, I have been through many different things. I have been through struggles and successes. I have been through multiple setbacks and breakthroughs. There is one specific setback, however that is very important to me that I overcame. It was not easy, but I finally did it. This setback took place during the time between when I entered high school and the end of my sophomore year.

Out of the 19 years I have been blessed to be on this earth, I can honestly say that my most rewarding moment was the day graduated Mansfield Timberview High School. Hearing my family cheer me on, getting my diploma and shaking hands with the board of administration, and beating our class statistics, is what this day a very memorable day.

It was one of the happiest days of my life here I was 18 and I had no

Life seems to take many twists and turns that somehow mesh into each other to form a chaotic knot of happenings. All of these occurrences are supposed to shape you into a wiser more experienced person. Many people can even pin point the exact moment in their life which was forever changed by a single event. When that event happens it becomes an unforgettable memory for you and teaches you a lesson that becomes one of the basic guidelines in your life. The event that forever changed me and was most significant to me was when I decided what I planned on doing for the rest of my life; choosing my major. I knew exactly what I would plan on doing my

An epiphany I had in junior year of high school was one of the most powerful experiences in my entire life, and still to this day is true. The epiphany was inspired from a teacher at school who lead me to the wisdom, that I am the one in control of the direction of my life. If I want to fly higher with accomplishment then I must lift my head and keep my eyes on where I want to go. The educator was an influential 11th grade English teacher who had us study presidential speeches, and had us ask ourselves each day "what have we done today to better ourselves?" He made us think, he made us question, he made us self-motivated ourselves. The better life was already inside of us and the power was already inside, we just had to unleash it. So powerful

Many turning points have occurred in my life, but I would say one really sticks out for me. This was when my granddad died in 2010. I talked about this event and how it affected my life in a thought piece earlier this year, but I thought this would be a good opportunity to elaborate on such a life changing event.
