Response To Christy Brown's My Left Foot

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

When I was given the assignment to write an essay on an experience that changed my life, one thing instantly came to mind; In June of last year I lost my nephew, Timmy Hill. Experiencing this loss has greatly changed my life in many ways. Of course, a loss like this comes with many negative changes, but in some ways it has given me a new drive. I have learned to experience new things, I have been inspired to live a more active life, and I have a new will to accomplish things he would have been proud to see me accomplish.

When I sit back and consider the significant events in my past, the important aspects of my life, and my future goals, the underlying theme is my appreciation for life’s struggles, people who help you through them and how they make you who you are. Throughout my entire life I have experienced the joys of accomplishing tasks and the sorrow of hardships, but no matter whether they were good or bad experiences they all helped to shape who I am today and who I will become tomorrow.

Prior to writing this essay, I sat down with my mom to come up with ideas on stories that have made me who I am today. That is when I realized I have made more personal growth in the past four years of my high school career that I have before this period of time. I am ending my high school career with more knowledge than I ever expected.

The sun rising and birds chirping, a fresh a breath air consumed my lungs. It was the start of my junior year at Coral Park Sr. High, and I was ready to enjoy my year with old friends and maybe have a girlfriend. As I pass through classmate and teachers outside the classroom; going up the main stairs in the back of the school entrance, I was interrupted by a wonderful fruity smell. As I turned to see what aroma lured me, suddenly I bumped my head and fell off the stairs. Once I realize what happen, I quickly ran up to the girl and held her hand; her hair was covering her face at that time so I didn’t pay so much attention. Ring! Ring! Ring! The bell rung and I was late. I apologize to her and told her that I would invite

People become who they are through eventful personal experiences they go through. Personal experiences help to shape people become who they would be, like a blade gaining its shape through a trial by fire. One of my most significant personal experiences had to be my immigration to the United States at the age of eight. Moving to a new country can be a big change to anyone and it was not different for me as it impacted me in the way I act today and it changed my world view.

Outline your Personal Narrative What one event has shaped you into who you are today?

Almost everyone faces setbacks, failures or something that has consequences that end up helping them. For me, this would be getting the starting spot for football from my competition. I had to work extremely hard to get it. It took so much time, effort, and hard work, but I eventually got it. Getting this starting spot in football has made me the person I am now. This is how it has affected me in life and how it has made the person I am today.

these events in my life help shape the man I am today and I am glad that I was blessed to have such things happen in my

I stepped into Mrs.Swartz’s 2nd grade class and I was frozen because,none of my friends were in her class.Just a ton of strangers.On the outside it may have looked like I was calm,but in the inside I was going all over the place,and I was so scared.There were name tags with cute apples on them,and all I could think was”Oh great,I have to sit next to a boy.”There was this girl in my group that seem a little hyper.Well,maybe more than a little hyper she was like “Hey!What’s your name!” and I whispered in a shy voice”Dinara.”Then I asked her and she said “Bri.”

This experience has shown me my strengths and weaknesses. That day I learned that I am a great problem solver. I also learned my weaknesses that day. I tend to be a workaholic and sometimes I can be a perfectionist. My aspirations are to go to college and get a job that helps many people in need. I hope to work for nonprofit

This is an experience I never thought I would have but it’s important because It helped me change as a person and to not take things for granted and work hard to achieve things you want my thoughts about school changed because I remember complaining about getting homework even though it's only a few hours of homework but now I know things could be much worse and that I am happy that I only have four homework assignments instead of ten I learned a life lesson that if you work hard enough you can achieve

A lot of people have life lessons or events that have changed them somehow. I have a very petrifying experience that changed how I see things. I was about ten years old when this happens my family and I were going on a trip to Frostburg State University. It was a Friday after school, I had to pack the night before, so we could leave right after I got off the bus, I remember not being very excited about going nor were my brothers. My parents were very excited though because it was the college that they both graduated from. I had no desire in going because I was only ten at the time, so I did not need to be visiting colleges, or going to more school on my weekend. We were just doing this for my parents, this obviously meant a lot to them. I don’t have much recognition of the ride up because I slept the majority of the it.

After nearly 17 years I came to realize how lucky many individuals are when it comes to the opportunities they have been given. I was one of these people, who not until recently, finally understood to not take things for granted, and to truly appreciate everything about myself, my family, and my life. Through growing up in a very advantageous society, I learned to become someone who genuinely cares for others while developing a strong sense of compassion.

I find it exceedingly thought-provoking to describe one experience that has impacted me as a person. Being raised by a single parent and coming from a family that struggled financially, I have been subject to multiple stereotypes and for a time, those stereotypes were true. I was unsuccessful in school and I was not an exemplary student. This persisted for a time until I joined a youth group that I still participate in today. My pastor served as my mentor and little by little I began to improve who I was as a person. I went from being the unsuccessful student that many thought I would be and turned myself into a person I could be proud of. I’m now pleased to be an Honor Student and I actively participate in school. I exceeded even my own expectations
