Take a few minutes to think about a moment in time where everything was perfect, where everything made sense, where all was right in the world. A moment that made people cry with joy or laugh until they hurt. Was it the sight of a child being born? Maybe a beautiful sunrise early in the morning where all the colors bounce off the sky? Maybe it was on a wedding day where a person said, “I do” to someone they loved. Now, heartbreakingly take that moment and think of the worst possible situation that could have happened. Whether someone was in a car accident because of the sunrise, or the child was stillborn, or maybe the person changed their mind on their wedding day. That pit in a person’s stomach, that loss of breath, the agony of not understanding

It was a peaceful, quiet Friday evening, when I was sitting on my couch peacefully and doing homework and watching TV. It was almost near the time where everyone in my family would go into their rooms, and call it a day. I, on the other hand, was planning to stay up till pretty late to finish some homework. As soon as my dad was going to bed, his phone rang - a phone call from his good friend.

Alcoholism and the addiction to any drug destroy lives, families and financial security. Growing up with an alcoholic as a parent not only tore my family apart to the point of divorce in 2013; but also left me as a financial insecure college student and a supporter for my younger sister through the years to come. Faced with the sudden tasks of paying for myself and raising my sister, I struggled to through the semesters trying to pay rent and be at home. Academically, I was disappointed in myself and knew I needed to make a change. Through many appointments through the success center, I became proactive to take control of the difficult situation I was in. Though I am still in this situation today, I have learned to time-manage and prioritize

Before I became a student at BCCC I was attending CCBC the college was awesome my field of study was Nursing. I left the college because I needed to be close to my grandmother because she had some illnesses going at the time. My main focus when I attended BCCC was to get all of my pre-requisites done so I could attend the Nursing Program. When I started classes in fall 2011 I started during well, but I fell short in some of the classes because of appointments I had to attend with my grandmother. Fall 2011 I received an F in English 200 and a D in Math 107. I knew this would affect my GPA. So I said to myself, maybe I should take a break and I had a long talk with my grandmother. She told me to make sure I focus on school and she will be fine. So spring

To describe an event or experience in my life and how it influenced my decision to further my education was a culmination of several situations that had happened in the last two years. It started with my place of employment. I had gone up as high that I could in the company and without any further education I no longer had the ability to make more money or to do anything else in the corporation. I began to get frustrated with the situation and with myself. I knew I had more to offer and the desired to do so. As the days passed I had a conversation I had with my daughter. She had questioned the importance of her schooling. I was stressing to her the importance of a good education and how that education will change her life for the better. I explained how an education can give

Writing is the unlimited practice of expressing one’s own ideas and beliefs. It is complicated and confusing at times, but once you understand what the writer is trying to say, it becomes in adventure. For me writing is difficult because I truly never learned how to write. I struggled in English for SAT and in Reading for the SAT, but I always tried to better myself. I learned that writing isn’t about how the grammar necessarily, writing is about what the content is telling you. Writing is trying to grab the audience to read your story. It is your chance to have a voice and have chance for people to hear you. Writing is the necessity to learning and the necessity to life. It connects everyone around you with you. This practice will continue to flourish and will always be an important quality.

When I am not working at my grocery store, I coach a high school bowling team. I have been bowling for many years and coaching for two. Since I took over the team, we have won back-to- back state championships. However, with any sport comes strategic thinking between the head coach and his assistants. Before every match, I and my assistant coach have to create a line-up that obtains stressful strategic thinking. The way bowling matches work is that we have a team of six bowlers and each bowler is matched up against their opponent on the other team. If that person wins their game, they get a point. The most points at the end of the match wins the match. So, when writing my lineup, I have to determine which players to match up to the other team’s players. I could put my strongest player against their strongest player and maybe get a point, or I can put my strongest player against their weakest players and guarantee a point. Also, I could mix up my lineup and place the bowlers in any lineup.

The best and worst things that happened in in my life were usually the things that happened unplanned, there were miracles and there were misfortunes. Big breaks and big let downs, I remember those single moments in my life like scenes from a movie, I did not expect. But how I reacted and lived life after those moments is what shaped who I became. I am a better person and living a better life because of what happened one day, but more so because of the events that happened afterward. November 28, 2007 marked the day that I learned to let go and changed how I view reality.That was the day I learned that the unplanned events could give me opportunities I never knew were available to me before.

In developing my reflective essay I have used two entries from my journal and also the effect the course becoming a teacher has had on me personally.

I had brought her because she was feeling bad. She was feeling extreme pain on her right side of her stomach, while being pregnant. I got so scared that I had to drive her down to the hospital knowing I did not have a license, but that did not stop me at that minute. Waiting on that big empty room is kind of scary no one comes, no one goes. The doctor comes in and looks at me, by the expression on his face I knew it was not something good. Well, my mother was diagnosed with kidney Infection while being seven months pregnant.
